Danielson commits to Western University

Danielson Commit

The Dragons veteran forward Noah Danielson has been one of the most productive and consistent players for the team this year, and it has earned him a commitment to the Western Mustangs Men’s Hockey Program.

Western University which is located in London, Ontario, is a member of the OUA West division of USport Men’s Hockey. USport is the national governing body of university sport in Canada.

Danielson has been one of the most valuable members of the Dragons hockey club this season, bringing veteran leadership and a calming presence to a young roster while also being one of the team’s top scorers.

In 34 games played with the Dragons, he has recorded 21 goals and 40 points, sitting second among the team for points per game average.

Prior to his time with the Dragons, Danielson was a member of the Medicine Hat Tigers of the Western Hockey League. Over his three seasons in the WHL, he played a total of 103 games and recorded 41 career points.

Morrin School hockey program wraps up

Morrin School Hockey program finished up the season with its annual game against staff and parents of the students in the program.
The hockey program runs each year from September until the end of January when the students get to play against their teachers and some of their parents.
Students receive 30 on-ice sessions of instruction and skill development, and do off-ice activities from the beginning of the school year until the end of October when the ice goes in. They then get two off-ice sessions and three on-ice sessions each week until the end of January.
The hockey program is set up to allow any student enrolled in Morrin School from Grade 7 to 12 to participate. This year there were 18 students in the program.
The program is open to both girls and boys of any skill level.
“We are always looking for more students to come to Morrin School to experience what we have to offer. Our hockey program is only one of many opportunities our students have. We also offer shop classes where students can take woodworking, welding and automotives,” said Morrin School Principal Don Yavis in a statement.
