FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. – There is positive news coming from the Fort St. John Huskies this week, including a 50/50 sellout and a pair of players headed to Marian University in the fall.
Huskies general manager Jeremy Clothier says defenceman Aiden Tegart and centre Dean Whitcomb have committed to Marian University, making them the third and fourth Huskies players to move on to Marian.
Aiden Tegart has been with the Huskies for six seasons. Playing in 117 games, he tallied 11 goals, 32 assists, and 302 penalty minutes.
Clothier says Tegart’s size and passion meant he needed to be reeled in from time to time as a youngster, but as the years went on, the imposing defender learned to pick his spots.

Captains in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL) provide leadership in their own way. There are different things to shoulder off the ice for a leadership group. What is it like being a leader in a pandemic impacted season?
That’s what has been asked of this group. They share what they have been doing to help get their teammates through an unusual time, especially when league play has been forced to pause until at least the first week of 2021.
Castlegar Rebels captain Josh Wiens says one of the big reasons it’s different is because he isn’t able to see his teammates as much or be in the room. Wiens, 20, has been working to know his teammates.
