“I began playing hockey when I was about seven or eight, after a few years of skating lessons and intense mini-sticks games. Initially, starting in my second year of novice, I had a habit of only skating with my right leg. This issue was quickly corrected by my new coaches. That year was my first introduction to hockey, and to EGHA. My family and I have made lasting friendships since that year that span far beyond just hockey.

Some of my favourite memories are driving to rinks and tournaments with my friends from hockey, and messing around after practices and games. Wickfest has always been a good opportunity to make these kinds of memories, with plenty of time for bonding and creating new friendships. I have a distinct memory of driving to Provincials in Brooks with my teammate Beth McCarthy, and stopping in Drumheller to see the big T-Rex, and take plenty of pictures from the top. That drive was long, and incredibly fun thanks to my friends made from hockey.

The opportunities for mindless fun will probably be what I miss most about Minor Hockey, since a long drive with the excitement of a weekend of hockey at the end is a feeling that cannot be replicated. Though that memory may seem to have little relevance to hockey itself, it would not have happened without it, and I owe some of my favourite memories with friends to hockey.

The game itself is also something I will miss deeply, and I have many coaches and parents to thanks for making my EGHA experience so rewarding and memorable. Every year brought a new team and new lessons from coaches, and I am especially grateful to Brent Young, Mike McCarthy and Darren Hutton, to name only a few who have had a big impact on me over the years. They have coached me for multiple years and have taught me important things both on and off ice.

I am happy that I was able to play EGHA for the years that I did, and I hope hockey can continue to have an impact on my life when we are able to play again.” #ClassOf2021

😍 The 2020-2021 season may be one, many of us would rather forget, but looking at this, brings nothing but smiles and gratitude.

Thank you Scott and team, for another season of amazing photos! Your business has grown and evolved, over the years, and at the perfect time was prepared to do these amazing photos during a pandemic! Without your new location, this would have been near impossible feat. We truly appreciate the work that has gone into this beautiful creation, and getting each of our players and coaches, photographed safely. ❤️ Stick tap to @scottmolnarphoto 🏒🏒🏒 #yeg #iamEGHA

Kaitlyn Haraphongse is our Senior Spotlight today! We are really enjoying seeing these players who grew up with EGHA! Thank you for sharing these Minor Hockey years with us!

“I started playing hockey in 2007, when I was 4. I did my first year with SWAT and then moved to EGHA the next year, in Initiation 2. I can’t pick my fondest memory of hockey so I’ll say two. The first was in my first year of midget, when I scored the game winning goal to move on in playoffs. The feeling of scoring at such an important moment was so incredible and I felt so amazing. The second was when I got the opportunity to play against Team India at Wickfest. It was so cool and I felt like a professional. My biggest influence in hockey is the Might Ducks movie and Hayley Wickenheiser. I love the movie and Hayley Wickenheiser helped bring girls into hockey and wants to be a doctor. I will miss being a part of the team and all the good memories. Minor hockey has helped me grow so much as a person and has allowed me to have some of the best experiences of my life.” #classof2021 #senior #iamEGHA #yeg

Erikah Cardinal, from EG703 is our next feature 2021 Senior. We are happy that you chose to join us in Atom and spend so many seasons with your EGHA family. Keep skating!

"I began playing hockey when I was in my second year Novice. But even before I began playing, I always went skating on the weekends with my brother and sister. I remember how much I loved skating that I didn’t want to get off the ice. I was so inspired to play hockey after watching my brother at one of his practices. My first team was with Whitemud West. During one of my final games of Novice, I played against an EGHA team. After that game I wanted to play for EGHA, so the next year I got to play with them for my first year of atom.

Some of my fondest memories of minor hockey would be when I got to play at Rogers Place. I really enjoyed the experience of being able to skate on the same ice my favourite NHL team plays on. It was a fantastic experience and opportunity. Another one would be when I got to play against Team China as I represented my First Nation. I remember seeing how packed the rink was as I saw my family and friends come to support the team and hearing the cheers of my family members as they watched me play.

My biggest influences would be my parents. When my practices and games were so early in the mornings and also so late during the nights, they would drive me. Or when the weather was cold and the roads were icy, they would drive me. I would also include my siblings as they were also a big influence for me during hockey. If my brother hadn’t played hockey, I probably wouldn’t be playing. Both of my siblings had helped me become a better player and helped me improve on things I struggled with like slap shots.

Even though my final year of hockey was put to an end so suddenly, I hope I can continue playing hockey in my junior years. I enjoy the sport so much that I want to continue, even though I couldn’t finish my minor hockey. " #EGHAproud #iamEGHA #ClassOf2021

Essiyah Weis, from our U18 A EG701 team, is today’s Senior Spotlight! We have been honoured to have Essiyah with us, since her early days in Novice (U9). Thank you and your family for sharing all of these seasons with us.

“I began my first year of Initiation when I was 5 years old in Hull, Québec. As a shy kid and one of the only girls on my team, I remember finding it hard to make friends and to really enjoy the game. When my family moved to Edmonton I joined EGHA in my first year of novice, but was reluctant to play again, (so reluctant in fact that I refused to go to any of my tryouts). But once my dad dragged me out to the first few practices I began to realize that girls hockey was a much more fun experience from what I had previously known hockey to be. I quickly bonded with my team and became friends with girls who I later would go on to play with throughout the rest of my minor hockey career.

I have lots of great memories from minor hockey, but I always find that the best ones were at hockey tournaments. Tournaments were always the most exciting part of the year and they were always when my team bonded the most. There is something about cramming 15 girls into a hotel room and eating pizza together and playing back to back games for 3 days straight. I loved chatting with my teammates about the last game over 5 squished together tables at a restaurant and the collective buzz after a huge win. Some of my favorite tournaments have been winning gold at Wickfest, playing in the 2016 and 2018 Alberta provincials and playing in a mini-series against Harbin, China.

My dad has always been my best coach and greatest influence throughout my minor hockey experience. I will be forever grateful to him for really pushing me to start playing hockey and for all the work that he does to make my hockey experience that much better. There are so many things that I will miss about minor hockey (except for 6am practices), but above all else I am going to miss the girls that I have gotten to know through hockey. I have made some great friends throughout my 11 years with EGHA and I wish everyone the best.”
