Congratulations
The Maple Leaf Athletic club would like to extend congratulations to a few of its members who have made significant contributions in the hockey community recently.
Firstly, congratulations goes out to two MLAC Scott Pump Bantam AAA defencemen who were selected in this week's WHL Bantam Draft. Zach Smith was taken in the 6th round, 124th overall by the Kootenay Ice and Luigi Naccarato was taken in the 11th round, 229th overall by the Kelowna Rockets. Congratulations to both of these young men on taking the first step in their Junior careers.
Congratulations must also go to Maple Leaf Athletic Club Bantam AAA coach Jason Wiwad on coaching the Team Northeast to gold at the Alberta Cup in late April. The Alberta Cup is a tournament featuring the best 1997 born hockey players in the Province, who represent their zones in a weekend tournament under the watchful eye of many spectators and WHL Scouts. To be requested to coach in this tournament is a great recognition by the hockey community, and winning the tournament is a huge accomplishment.
Successes such as these are a great positive mark on the Maple Leaf Athletic Club. Congratulations once again to these members on their accomplishments.
