AS THE PUCK DROPS on a newCanadian Sports School Hockey League season, Katie Greenway will be calling the shots for the Okanagan Hockey Academy (OHA) Female Prep team. An assistant coach with the club last season, Greenway steps up to the head coach’s role this year.
HONEY, I SHRUNK THE RINK. No, Rick Moranis hasn’t taken over minor hockey in Canada. But, the powers that be in Canadian community hockey have taken a page out of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids — the 1980s feature film in which Moranis starred as a residential inventor/scientist whose kids are unwittingly shrunk with a home-built shrink-ray.
Jordan Kohlman will be mining gold in the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League (NOJHL) this fall. The Okanagan Hockey Academy (OHA) Edmonton defenceman has signed on with the NOJHL’s Kirkland Lake Gold Miners.
A who’s-who of hockey has been inducted into the Alberta Hockey Hall of Fame. Grant Fuhr, coach Wally Kozak, Mike Vernon, broadcaster Ron MacLean and two Canada Winter Games gold-medal winning teams — 1991 Team Alberta Female and 1999 Team Alberta Male — were enshrined at the AHHF Awards Gala held July 22 at the Coast Hotel in Canmore.
The next level. A hockey player’s evolution, to a degree, takes place on a ladder. It involves a long, at times daunting, climb up the rungs to the player’s ultimate goal.
Something to talk about. Jake Chiasson and mom Rachael would talk about hockey and anything else that crossed their minds on the hour-long drives from Abbotsford to any of the countless road games they attended over his minor-hockey career.
Did that just happen? You can excuse fans and parents for asking that question, because it’s not something you see at the rink every day. With his team breaking up the ice, 2018 Ontario HockeyNow Player Of The Year Jamie Drysdale decided to join the rush... while skating backwards.
It’s a process. If anyone is ready for the trials, tribulations and relocations hockey’s next level brings, it’s Sean Tschigerl. The Okanagan Hockey Academy (OHA) Edmonton forward’s folks have logged countless miles en route to his winning the 2018 HockeyNews Alberta Player of the Year (POY) Award.
It doesn’t take long. One season, to be exact. When selected as the HockeyNow 2016 Player of the Year (POY) for Alberta, Bowen Byram was coming off a productive Bantam season (22 goals, 37 assists in 34 AMBHL games) with the Lethbridge Golden Hawks.
The Toronto Marlboros Minor Midget Team have been a prospect factory for years, producing numerous NHL draft picks from its ranks. Look up and down rosters in the big leagues and there’s a good chance a player came through the Marlboro program.
Since getting one minute of air time on Hockey Night in Canada last year, during a special segment featuring positive contributors to the game, the Grindstone Award Foundation continues to grow.
We’re less than two months out from making our final selections for the HockeyNow Minor Hockey Player of the Year award winners in B.C., Alberta and Ontario. The 2018 nominees have been impressing us all season long and some were fortunate enough to make their mark at the Telus Cup in Sudbury late last month.
After the Esso Cup was held in Bridgewater, N.S. last month, another big-time national championship came to Nova Scotia, bringing the top Aboriginal hockey players from across the country.
