Interveiw with president of Spruce Grove Saints

An interveiw with the president of the Spruce Grove Saints, Darren Myshak: Q:Are you satisfied with your team's performance so far this year? A:The team is in it's rebuilding phase so there is a huge learning curve this year. We may have a tough time getting to the finals this year but i think next yesr is our year. In jr A we don't just measure sucess on wins and loses. We provide jr hockey so young men like yourselves have the oppurtunity to get a scholarship from american colleges. They can play high level hockey for 4 more years, get a free university education of their choice,and a great life experience. At the end of the year when we know how many of our players had that oppurtunity to receive such a privelage that's when we determine if the year was succesful or not. Q:What team has been your hardest team to beat so far this year? A:With out a doubt Grand Prarie has been our toughest team this year. We are 0 wins and 6 loses against them in the regular season this year. Q:Who has been your biggest player contributor this year? A:Shane Lemans was our top scorer in the regular season but as far as the biggest contributor I think would be our captain Jordan Kary. He's the leader on and off the ice. Q: Do you give more credit to your players or coach for your team’s success this year? A: The coach looks for players a year in advance. He puts the team together and gives them the guidance to become better individual players and team players. saying that it is still the players that are on the ice taking the hits and making the plays. So you see that's the beautiful thing about are game it teaches total team work from the management to the coaches right down to the players.To answer your question the credit goes to everyone. Q:Where does your team enjoy playing the most? A: Every player likes to play at home but as far as away rinks go I would like to think the players would like to play in the newer bigger rinks in Grande Prairie, Ft. Mac & Camrose. Hope you enjoyed the interveiw!
