The post 21 CSSHL Alumni Capture CHL Championships first appeared on 麻豆传媒入口.

For the 2024/25 season the CSSHL is proud to introduce the Student-Athlete of the Month Award for the four different CSSHL divisions/age brackets: Eastern, West Female, West U18 Male (U18 Prep, U17 Prep, U17) and West U15 Male (U15 Prep and U15) .

This award is aimed at recognizing the student-athletes within the CSSHL and acknowledges their hard work, dedication, commitment, leadership, academics and community impact.

We would like to congratulate these four student-athletes, who were all nominated by their programs, for their hard work in the month of April.

East Division – Leonard Ess, Okanagan Hockey Ontario

“Leo is in his third year with OHO U18 Prep. He is a defenseman who plays in all situations, missing only one game in the past two seasons. Leo is OHO’s all-time CSSHL games played leader at 56 regular season games played.

Leo has been an assistant captain for the past two years and has volunteered extensively in the community over his three years with OHO, including over 35 hours with Clarington Thunder Mini Watts, helping run practices for five year old beginner hockey. Leo has volunteered annually at a local Autism Awareness Fun Fair donating his time running games for LRCSS.

In his grade 10 year, Leo volunteered as a on-ice helper at all practices with his billet brothers U11 team. Leo currently is a volunteer assistant coach on OHO’s 2012 spring team helping with practices and games

Leo is a high-achiever academically. In his grade 10 year he had a 92% average, he had a 93% average in his grade 11 year and currently has a 94% average in his grade 12 year.

Grade 12: Leo currently has a 99% grade in Calculus and received a 98% in math functions and a 97% in Physics during semester 1

Grade 11: Leo finished with a 98% in both physics and math functions

Leo plans to attend University for Business and is currently going through his acceptance process. He leads by example in everything he does. He never misses practices, leads with his work-ethic in the gym daily, is constantly engaged with our U15/U16 teams and is a role model for our younger players.”

West Female Division – Haley Hunter, South Alberta Hockey Academy

“Her dedication and work ethic, both in the classroom and at the rink, have been nothing short of outstanding this semester.

Haley is currently balancing a demanding academic load; completing Math 30-1 online while also taking Chemistry 30 and Biology 30 in person. This is a challenging combination, yet she has managed it with impressive discipline. She is on the verge of completing her Math course and has remained on track all semester with minimal reminders from myself. This is a testament to her strong internal drive and mature time management skills.

These qualities will no doubt serve her well as she transitions to post-secondary studies at Lake Forest next season. Even during the off-season, Haley shows up every day ready to put in the work on the ice, maintaining her high standard of performance and leadership. Beyond academics and athletics, Haley continues to give back to the community. Over the past two months we have been volunteering at the local food shelter in town on Monday mornings. Haley has consistently signed up bi-weekly, which is much more often than most of her peers. Her willingness to step up whenever help is needed speaks volumes about her character.

Haley is having an exceptional semester, and I have no doubt she鈥檒l finish it as strongly as she started.”

West Male U15 Division – Owen Besserer, RHA Kelowna

“Owen Besserer is in his first year as a full-time student athlete in the CSSHL with the RINK Kelowna U15 team. Owen鈥檚 commitment and dedication, attitude and mentality, both on and off the ice is not often seen in one so young, but one all student-athletes should strive for. Owen is excelling in his Grade 8 classes and is taking Grade 9 math. Owen鈥檚 teachers describe him as a calm and focused presence in the classroom. He has a strong sense of teamwork and works well with his peers; he always remains focused while having a positive influence on those around him. He is always ready to maximize his efficiency on the ice, in the gym, or in the classroom. Owen is always ready to seize the day!”

West Male U18 Division – Kyson Lindsay, Wenatchee Wild Hockey Academy

“Kyson has just been recognized as Eastmont High School鈥檚 Academic Top 10 for the entire school. This has never happened in our two year history in the CSSHL and since starting with Eastmont High School.

Kyson is a standout player and leader on our team and has consistently demonstrated exceptional academic performance over the past five months. Kyson鈥檚 academic achievements are noteworthy, with impressive final grades submitted just
last week:

• Chemistry: 99%
• Honors English: 93%
• Civics: 98%
• Math: 95%
• Physics: 98%

On the ice, Kyson’s commitment to excellence and strong work ethic have been truly remarkable. As an assistant captain, he provides valuable leadership both on and off the ice, playing a crucial role in our team鈥檚 success. Kyson leads by example every day, consistently showing his versatility, dedication, and outstanding qualities as a teammate.

Off the ice, in January Kyson launched his own initiative, Paws for a Wild Cause, a humanitarian effort in partnership with the Wenatchee Valley Humane Society to support animals in need. This initiative serves as a lifeline, providing shelter, medical care, and emergency assistance for vulnerable animals. Kyson recognized the critical role such support plays during times of crisis, especially during natural disasters like wildfires. Inspired to take action after witnessing the devastating impact of the wildfires in Los Angeles, he was driven by the urgency to bring hope and aid to animals during these challenging times. Kyson shared that the inspiration for the fundraiser name came from a creative play on the word 鈥渨ild鈥� connecting both the wildfires and the Wenatchee Wild.

Kyson Launched the Paws for a Wild Cause fundraiser on January 28, 2025, at the Wenatchee Wild WHL home game, inspiring his teammates to help raise awareness and funds for the Wenatchee Valley Humane Society. The fundraiser will run through February 9, coinciding with the Wenatchee Cup where players will continue supporting Kyson鈥檚 efforts. So far, they have raised $988.00 toward their $3000.00 goal.

Kyson鈥檚 dedication, leadership, community service, and commitment to excellence are undeniable. He exemplifies the true meaning of a student-athlete, inspiring those around him through his performance, work ethic, and ability to lead both on and off the ice.”

For the second straight draft a St. George’s School (Vancouver, BC) defenseman was selected second overall as Holden Wouters was taken by the Edmonton Oil Kings.

STAR Hockey Academy (Kent, WA) captain Levi Ellingsen became the second ever CSSHL student-athlete selected first overall at the U.S. Priority Draft, joining RHA Kelowna (Kelowna, BC) forward Brody Gillespie, who was selected by the Spokane Chiefs in 2023.

Overall, 11 CSSHL student-athletes were selected in the first round while 84 players were selected in total at the 2024 WHL Prospects Draft. Of those 84, 48 were taken in the first 4 rounds/92 picks.

WHL Prospects Draft

Former CSSHL Student-Athletes WHL Prospects Draft

The post CSSHL at the WHL Draft: 2025 first appeared on 麻豆传媒入口.

Round 1, Pick 1 (Kris Hogg): Chloe Primerano, Defenseman, BWC Academy/RHA Kelowna听

A new age defenseman that can impact in all aspects of the game. Like having a 4th forward on the ice and her vision and spatial awareness allows her to manipulate the play in her favour. A player that makes an impact every shift she is on the ice. Top Scorer, MVP and also a two time CSSHL Champion in her two years. In her CSSHL years, she sits 2nd in overall points and 6th in goals all while being a suburb defender. She entered her university career a year early and continues to set records at the U18 Women鈥檚 Worlds and being one of the youngest defenders to ever suit up in a Women鈥檚 World Championship this past April. Prior to the CSSHL Female Prep Division she skated on the Male Bantam Prep Division where she was the first ever Female Skater selected in a CHL Draft.听

Round 1, Pick 2 (Kai Farenholtz): Danielle Serdachny, Forward, Pursuit of Excellence (RHA Kelowna)

Despite only playing two seasons in the CSSHL, Serdachny was able to post over 100 career points in a mere 49 appearances. In Serdachny鈥檚 two seasons with POE, she would be apart of two consecutive division championships and take home an MVP in her second CSSHL season. Her prolific scoring touch would continue to thrive at the college level, where she would garner 238 points across her NCAA career with Colgate University. Serdachny currently plays with the Ottawa Charge in the PWHL after being selected second overall in the 2024 PWHL Draft.

Round 1, Pick 3 (Jordan Martin): Maisie Cope, Goalie, Delta Hockey Academy

Back-to-Back CSSHL Top Goaltender Awards to wrap up an impressive CSSHL career that saw her finish second all time in wins with 38. In a division dominated by RHA Kelowna the last four seasons, the University of Calgary commit handed them 2 of their 3 losses the past two seasons (sorry Kris). The Victoria, BC netminder finished her three year CSSHL career with a 34-8-3 record, 9 shutouts, a .929 SV% and 2.09 GAA.听

Round 2, Pick 4 (Jordan Martin): Gracie Graham, Defense, RHA Kelowna

Graham sits third all-time among CSSHL defensemen with 70 career regular season assists, winning three CSSHL Female U18 Prep Championships in three straight seasons. The CSSHL Female U18 Prep Top Freshman in 2021/22 and the CSSHL Female U18 Prep Top Defenseman in 2023/24, Graham finished with 34 goals, 70 assists and 104 points in just 79 games. Among defensemen, her career totals see her ranked third in goals, third in assists, and third in points, while her 1.32 points-per-game is second.听

Round 2, Pick 5 (Kai Farenholtz): Danica Maynard, Defense, Okanagan Hockey Academy/RHA Kelowna

Not many in the history of the Female division in CSSHL history were able to dish the puck better than Maynard. Sitting atop of the all-time assists leaderboard, Maynard acquired 108 assists across her time with OHA and RHA Kelowna. Maynard鈥檚 blend of hockey IQ and elite skating made her not only an offensive threat in the opponent’s zone, but a solid piece in her own end as well, disrupting plays and quickly progressing the play up the ice once the puck reached her stick. After capturing two championships with RHA Kelowna in her final two years in the CSSHL along with her catalogue of offensive talent, Maynard stands as one of the greatest blue-liners the CSSHL has ever seen.

Round 2, Pick 6 (Kris Hogg): Anne Cherkowski, Forward, Pursuit of Excellence (RHA Kelowna)

Cherkowski sits atop the leaderboard in points (165) and goals (85) all time in the CSSHL. A model of consistency, you always know you’ll get a contribution from her whether it’s on the scoreboard or killing a penalty or winning a big face-off.听 Her IQ is one of the best in the entire female game which allows her to play in all roles and log big minutes. She carries with her two CSSHL Championships along with a gold and silver medal from the U18 Worlds with Canada. I am fortunate enough to have coached her at the U18 level and also in her last year at Clarkson (2024-25) in which she was named a first team ECAC All Star and will be a top pick in this year鈥檚 PWHL Draft. She continues to knock on Team Canada鈥檚 door suiting up in the Rivalry Series and captaining the U22 Collegiate Team. Plus, I don鈥檛 think anyone is going to beat her record of an 8 goal game on the female side anytime soon.听

Round 3, Pick 7 (Kris Hogg): Dara Greig, Forward, Pursuit of Excellence (RHA Kelowna)

Greig had an outstanding career and sits 5th in all time scoring in the CSSHL. Her 100 assists also sits 3rd all time making her not only a threat to score, but also make plays. With two CSSHL Championships to her name, her power forward approach to the game allows her to speed up or slow down the game with the puck on her stick. Her size and possession game creates extended ozone time for her and her linemates and wears other teams down.听 She鈥檚 as competitive as they come and is someone you want on the ice when you need a goal. This is also a strategic pick with Greig and Cherkowski playing three years together on the same line and power play which caused trouble for all opposition and goalies throughout those years. Dara moved on from a successful NCAA career winning a National Championship with Wisconsin to be selected 23rd overall to the Montreal Victoire in the 2024 PWHL Draft where she currently plays.听

Round 3, Pick 8 (Kai Farenholtz): Kendal Davidson, Defense, South Alberta Hockey Academy

Before suiting up with SAHA, Davidson spent two seasons playing U15 AA & AAA on the male side in Lethbridge. When she made the jump to Female U18 Prep, her blend of speed, size and a lethal shot made her an instant threat in the CSSHL. Going through footage in my first season with the CSSHL, I was always excited to see how Davidson would collect her goals/points given her skillset. Not many could stop Davidson once she got a head of steam coming out of her own zone, always keeping defenders on their toes whenever the puck was on her blade. Davidson recorded back-to-back double-digit goals in her two full seasons with SAHA before advancing to Union College in the NCAA, picking up the title for top defenseman in the 2022-23 season.

Round 3, Pick 9 (Jordan Martin): Sarah Wozniewicz, Forward, Edge School

I remember watching her during her 2019/20 CSSHL MVP winning season and at one particular game a handful of WHL scouts who were in the arena for a U15 Prep game were blown away by her ability to dominate in the Female U18 Prep division. She would finish second in scoring that season with 52 points in 24 regular season games before leading Edge to their first ever CSSHL Female U18 Prep Championship. Wozniewicz finished her CSSHL career tied for 6th with 59 goals and 15th with 108 points. The Cochrane, AB forward has won two NCAA Championships with the University of Wisconsin, posting 35 goals and 36 assists in her four seasons with the Badgers.听

Round 4, Pick 10 (Jordan Martin): Rylind MacKinnon, Defense, Northern Alberta Xtreme

You might not find her at the top of the leaderboards like a lot of the defensemen selected above her, but her impact on the CSSHL and NAX makes her well deserving of a Top 10 selection. In three CSSHL seasons from 2015-18 the Cranbrook, BC defender tallied 8 goals and 25 assists for 33 points in 48 games. Her best season would come in 2017/18 when she produced at a point-per-game pace to capture the CSSHL MVP Award. MacKinnon would go on to play five seasons with UBC where she was named to the U SPORTS All-Rookie Team in 2018/19 and a U SPORTS First Team All-Star in 2023/24. Undrafted to the PWHL, MacKinnon became the first skater in league history to sign a contract in the PWHL directly out of U Sports and has tallied 2 points in 22 games with the Toronto Sceptres this season.听

Round 4, Pick 11 (Kai Farenholtz): Morgan Jackson, Forward, Shawnigan Lake School

One of the more dangerous forwards we鈥檝e seen throughout the history of the Female U18 Prep division, Jackson was a constant threat in the offensive zone with her cerebral hockey IQ, elite playmaking and wicked shot. In her two seasons with Shawnigan, Jackson collected 119 points in only 49 games. Her 2.43 points per game stands alone at the top for the highest rate of production the Female U18 Prep division has ever seen. Despite coming shy of a championship in her two seasons with Shawnigan her production didn鈥檛 taper off in the postseason, still acquiring a bountiful 24 points across 10 career playoff matches. Add another season of CSSHL competition under her belt and I don鈥檛 think it鈥檚 far off to say that Jackson could have ended her CSSHL career as the Female U18 Prep鈥檚 all-time leading scorer.

Round 4, Pick 12 (Kris Hogg): Stephanie Markowski, Defense, Pursuit of Excellence (RHA Kelowna)

Stephanie is the ultimate competitor and a true winner. No team or list is complete without including her. Her contributions go beyond just points as although she completed her CSSHL career with well over a point per game (58pts in 45 games), she also was trusted in logging big minutes in shut down roles and also a force to be reckoned with 72 penalty minutes. If you somehow got around her using your feet, which didn’t happen very often, she made sure she used her body to shut that play down. A true winner, she is the only player ever to win an ESSO Cup, CSSHL Championship, U18 Women鈥檚 World Gold Medal, Canada Winter Games Gold and a NCAA National Championship. She is the first former CSSHL Defenseman selected in the PWHL going 20th overall to the Ottawa Charge in the 2024 Draft. She currently has 5 points in 25 games. She continues to get looks from Hockey Canada, attending multiple National Camps. All this girl does is win.听

Round 5, Pick 13 (Kris Hogg): Kennedy Sisson, Forward, Okanagan Hockey Academy/RHA Kelowna,听

As Kennedy moves into her final season before heading off to Clarkson University, she sits near the top in every single offensive category. Passing the all time games played mark this past season (2024-2025), she currently sits 3rd in goals (74), 5th in assists (77) and 4th (151) in overall points. This next season she’s on pace to move into 1st overall in all of those categories. She鈥檚 smooth and slick with the puck and can turn nothing into something and has the vision to make and see plays well into the future. She’s a player that will continue to climb the ranks within her province and country. Every year she鈥檚 always near the top in scoring and as she ages this doesn’t look to be slowing down anytime soon. She has thre CSSHL Championship Rings and looks to make it a 4th next year. Whatever Cherkowski or Greig don鈥檛 score on, Sisson will be there to clean it up. That is, if Chloe doesn鈥檛 just score initially.听

Round 5, Pick 14 (Kai Farenholtz): Alix Walchuk, Goalie, Delta Hockey Academy/Shawnigan Lake School

Reigning from Whitehorse, YT, it鈥檚 fair to say Walchuk has had ice in her veins during her tenure in the CSSHL. Every five games, you could statistically predict Walchuk would post a shutout, garnering 11 clean sheets in 55 career games. Her past two seasons split between Delta Hockey Academy and Shawnigan Lake School have been nothing short of miraculous, posting a combined 2.31 GAA and 0.923 SV% across 36 games. Including playoffs, Walchuk has made over 1500 saves in her CSSHL career. She is set to begin her college career this upcoming fall with York University in Toronto, ON.听

Round 5, Pick 15 (Jordan Martin): Mikayla Boarder, Forward, Shawnigan Lake School

Kai made the mistake of selecting a goalie with his last pick despite me no longer needing one, opening the door for me to select two high scoring forwards. Boarder eased into the CSSHL with 19 points in 24 games her first season before exploding for a combined 104 points in 54 games her last two. The Richland, WA forward led the CSSHL with 41 assists and 60 points in 2022/23, her last season in the league. She ranks in the Top 10 All-Time with 125 points (8th) and 76 assists (6th) and currently plays with the University of Maine, tallying 23 points in 67 NCAA games.听

Round 6, Pick 16 (Jordan Martin): Alida Korte, Forward, RHA Kelowna

While the CSSHL playing days of most of the players selected in this draft are over, the best days for Korte are yet to come. Korte currently sits 12th All-Time with 115 points and 8th with 72 assists, trailing only Kennedy Sisson among active CSSHL skaters. While Sisson has accomplished this feat in four seasons, Korte has done it in just two with 52 points in 2023/24 and 63 points in 2024/25. Selected as a BC Division First Team All-Star and CSSHL MVP Award Finalist this past season, another strong season from the Saskatoon, SK forward should vault her into a Top 2-3 finish for points in a CSSHL career, likely only trailing Sissons. The definition of a 鈥済ame changer鈥�, Korte鈥檚 superb offensive skill set has helped lead RHA Kelowna to back-to-back CSSHL Championships, including being named Championships MVP this past season. With a gold medal at the most recent U18 Women鈥檚 World Championships, expect her to play a key role for Team Canada next season.听

Round 6, Pick 17 (Kai Farenholtz): Rowyn Street, Forward, RHA Winnipeg

I had some internal debate with this pick with Street still having at least two more years of eligibility in the CSSHL, but from what I have gathered over the last two seasons watching her footage and seeing her game develop and grow鈥� it was hard for me not to select her. Street entered the CSSHL with RHA Winnipeg after playing a full season with the Winnipeg Wild in U15 AAA competition with the boys in Manitoba. Since then, she has posted 51 goals in 60 career games, enough to leave her already tied for 13th all-time in Female U18 Prep goals. At the pace she is on, that number is set to rise drastically over her potential next two years in the CSSHL. Away from just the stats, Street is a complete offensive threat with an elite shot for her age along with a full skillset across the board, most notably in my eyes with her skating and puck control. Of her 51 career goals, 40 have come at even strength while another 4 have come shorthanded. Her presence on the ice cannot be ignored as she is used in every facet of the game. You can say this pick is premature at this stage, but acknowledging the stats and witnessing her game over the last two seasons, Street鈥檚 game is already amongst the best from my perspective.

Round 6, Pick 18 (Kris Hogg): Farah Walker, Goalie, Edge School/Okanagan Hockey Academy/RHA Kelowna

A four year CSSHL player, Farah was the first ever female goalie to play in a boys division with Edge U15 in the 2019/2020 season. She continued to climb the ranks within Hockey Alberta and had her breakout year in 2022-23 winning Gold with Hockey Canada at the U18 Women鈥檚 World Championships and also capturing the CSSHL Goalie of the Year playing for OHA. Her next season with RHA Kelowna she shattered previous years numbers with an outstanding .953 save percentage and 0.76 GAA. She sits atop the leaderboard for all time save percentage with a .930% among all goalies to play in the league. As we know with goalies, we need them to come through in the clutch, which Walker has been known to do as she boasts an astonishing 1.43 GAA and 0.947 Save % in all Playoff Games combined. Her final season with RHA Kelowna she was able to finally lift a CSSHL Championship above her head. Walker has moved on to the NCAA where she currently plays for Colgate University.听

The post 12 CSSHL Alumni Claim Medals at 2025 U18 Worlds first appeared on 麻豆传媒入口.

For the 2024/25 season the CSSHL is proud to introduce the Student-Athlete of the Month Award for the four different CSSHL divisions/age brackets: Eastern, West Female, West U18 Male (U18 Prep, U17 Prep, U17) and West U15 Male (U15 Prep and U15) .

This award is aimed at recognizing the student-athletes within the CSSHL and acknowledges their hard work, dedication, commitment, leadership, academics and community impact.

We would like to congratulate these four student-athletes, who were all nominated by their programs, for their hard work in the month of March.

East Division – Pasquale Presti, Selwyn House School

“You can’t spell Prestige without Presti! (Taken from a social media post of a recent CSSHL game when Presti scored a ridiculously amazing goal.)

Pasquale is equally impressive off the ice as he is on the ice. His drive, motivation, work ethic, camaraderie, team spirit, and determination are evident in everything he does. He is a three-sport varsity athlete, with soccer, hockey, and baseball rounding out his Grade 12 year. In addition to his athletic achievements, he is also an accomplished actor, recently playing two lead characters in the school play “10 Ways to Screw Up Your College Interview”. His humour and physical comedy left the audience in stitches. This play ended six years of noteworthy theatre performances at Selwyn for Pasquale.

From an academic perspective, Pasquale is taking eight advanced and enriched courses in our most rigorous science stream. The college-level courses include Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Psychology, and English. His Grade 12 overall average is 97.5 %, with 99% in Pre-Cal, Calculus, Chemistry and Biology. He also produced a documentary on his family and the family-owned and operated Presti 麻豆传媒入口s and Developments for English class. He created this documentary with extreme thought and care, going beyond the expectations of the class. His academic results are exceptional, considering the time devoted to hockey training and travel (mainly when the team had several road trips in January and February, adding up to over three weeks away from school).

Although not an off-ice example, it is essential to highlight Selwyn’s playoff run, finishing second overall. The team played five games in five days while still attending school and meeting all their academic requirements. Pasquale always stayed on top of his work (throughout the season) and was instrumental in the playoff run, encouraging teammates and always giving his all.

In addition to academics, athletics, and extracurricular activities, Pasquale has completed applications to US and Canadian institutions, primarily for architecture programs. He diligently worked on his portfolio independently, creating 10 different pieces using different mediums to highlight his creative and technical skills. So far, this talent and dedication have awarded him admission to six prestigious schools, with merit scholarships totalling $370000 to date (the most awarded to a current grade 12 student).

While we do not rank students at Selwyn House, Pasquale is exceptional. He would place at the top of his class based on his academic performance, the rigor of his course selections, and his outstanding commitment to academics, extracurricular activities, athletics and citizenship.”

West Female Division – McKayla Romano, Pilot Mound Hockey Academy

“McKayla Romano embodies the qualities of a true student-athlete, excelling both on and off the ice. As a dedicated member of the Pilot Mound Hockey Academy, McKayla has consistently demonstrated a strong commitment to her academic pursuits, maintaining an impressive GPA while balancing the rigorous demands of her sport. Her leadership skills shine through in the classroom, where she actively participates in group projects, often taking the initiative to guide her peers and ensure their collective success.

Beyond her academic achievements, McKayla is deeply involved in community service. She volunteers with our local Can-Skate program, showcasing her compassion and dedication to giving back. In the dressing room, McKayla’s positive attitude and unwavering support for her teammates make her an invaluable presence, fostering a sense of unity and camaraderie.

McKayla’s excellence, hard work, and commitment in all aspects of her life make her truly deserving of this recognition. Her dedication to her studies, her leadership qualities, and her community involvement exemplify the values we strive to instill in our student-athletes.”

West Male U15 Division – Grayson Holmes, Okanagan Hockey Academy

“It is with great enthusiasm that we nominate Grayson Holmes for the CSSHL U15 Student of the Month. Grayson has exemplified outstanding leadership, dedication, and sportsmanship throughout this season, both on and off the ice.

As a key player on the OHA U15 team, Grayson has consistently demonstrated a positive and supportive attitude that has earned him the admiration and respect of his teammates. His leadership goes beyond skill on the ice 鈥� he has been a mentor, motivator, and friend to his peers. Grayson鈥檚 ability to keep the team morale high and foster an inclusive and encouraging environment has been a crucial part of the team’s success. His teammates fully support him and appreciate the positive impact he has on their growth, not just as players but as individuals.

In addition to his success in hockey, Grayson has expanded his horizons by joining the Penticton High School golf team this spring. His commitment to balancing both his academic and athletic pursuits, while remaining actively involved in school events and tournaments, showcases his well-rounded character and drive. Grayson鈥檚 ability to manage his time effectively, maintain high performance in both hockey and golf, and contribute to his community is truly commendable.

Grayson Holmes is a prime example of what it means to be a student-athlete. His unwavering commitment, leadership, and positive influence both in sports and at school make him a deserving candidate for the CSSHL U15 Student of the Month award.

We are proud to nominate him and look forward to seeing his continued success.”

West Male U18 Division – Mason Alexander, RHA Kelowna

“This is Mason Alexander鈥檚 first year at RINK Hockey Academy Kelowna, currently playing on the U17 team while affiliating with U17 Prep. Mason is the epitome of a CSSHL Student- Athlete, consistently exemplifying hard work both on and off the ice.

With an unwavering dedication to his academics, he leads the charge, maintaining an impressive 95% grade point average. Mason鈥檚 great attitude and infectious smile are always present, uplifting those around him. Whether he’s on the ice or volunteering at the local food bank, he’s always the first to step up. His commitment to improvement is evident every single day, as he continues to push himself to be the best version of himself in all areas of life.

All in all, Mason has a big heart and would go above and beyond for his teammates and anyone in need, always putting others first.”
