"It's pretty cool special I mean, a lot of guys have reached out and I think that's probably the coolest part is just seeing all the overwhelming support from everybody and it kind of shows how tightly knit the organization it's a pretty cool feeling."

"I think I was on a phone call with my dad yesterday and we were kind of talking about how surreal it's been and how it came kind of full circle it's pretty cool looking back on a short five years, from when I was 15 going to first Camp & to see how time flies and how it's changed that much."
The Yorkton Minor Hockey alumni has 60 points in 43 games the for 'Tips who currently sit in 5th place in the WHL's Western Conference standings.
