(As the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League awaits word on when competitive sports can continue due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Director of Communiciations Emamuel Sequeira has been updating hockey fans with stories from around the league.)
Hunter Floris wanted to have fun playing hockey again, so he decided to join the Nelson Leafs in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL).
The Vanderhoof native had spent the last two seasons in the Alberta Junior Hockey League with the Olds Grizzlys. Floris experienced team struggles on the ice and multiple coaching changes off it, including before he arrived.
