2008-2009 Columbia Valley
Rockies Hockey
INVERMERE—Your 2008/09 Columbia Valley Rockies, shown here in an exhibition game against the Kimberley Dynamiters, are ready for action. Under the guidance of coach Darren Naylor, assistant coaches Brett Moen and Kevin Losey, along with trainer Kevin Steele, the Rockies have added some exciting new players to the mix. Coach Naylor said defenceman Warren Leslie from Calgary is a skilled player who will work on the power play with veteran Reid Mitchell. Goalie Ty Gullickson from Fort St. John stole the show at training camp and will be the opening day netminder. As for returning players, Reid Mitchell, Brett Bjorkman, Brent McQueen, Cody Lund and captain Ryan Niddery, Naylor said that you can expect to see leadership from these high-end players even off the ice. Seven valley players – Mitchell, Bjorkman, TJ Bone, Tryg Strand, Brody Powell, Reto Stiz and Ryan Purdy – will provide some local talent on the team. Go, Rockies, go! Photos by Cayla Gabruck
