Hockey player leaves an impression on and off ice
File Hills Qu’Appelle’s (FHQ) Midget AA boys hockey team took to the ice on Thursday, led by a captain that the team’s coach describes a role model.
FHQ did not make it to the finals – which were ultimately won by the Saskatoon Tribal Council– but Gordon Wasteste, was a notable presence on the ice, helping the team on the score sheet with a goal early in the game.
It isn’t just Wasteste’s play that has FHQ’s brass impressed, but his effect on the younger players – and the community.
“He’s a real good role model in the room and he does help out the weaker skaters and weaker players,” Wasteste’s coach, Eddie Tawiyaka, said.
