Welcome back to Cloverwood

B.C.’s booming film industry rediscovers the town centre By Jennifer Lang Cloverdale’s unofficial designation as the Centre of the Universe certainly seems to be holding true lately, if the number of TV and film productions choosing to come here is an indication. In the past two months, as many as six productions have shot scenes in Cloverdale, which may want to consider a new nickname: Cloverwood. “There’s been a huge influx,” says Paul Orazietti, executive director of the Cloverdale Business Improvement Association, which acts as a local liaison. “It’s a record because of the amount of productions coming through. We’ve never had this many.” A cursory list includes Canadian and American titles such as the Comedy Network’s TV series, Impastor (which has been to the town centre twice) and Fox TV’s Prison Break, which involved elaborate rooftop chase scenes. Surrey’s historic heart – rich in heritage buildings, a defined downtown, and a cosy, small-town vibe – also recently hosted not one but two Christmas-themed Hallmark

Holiday TV movies. Last week, Nickelodeon’s Rufus 2, a TV movie sequel aimed at younger viewers, took over several locations Cloverdale, where a handful of businesses welcomed the production for extensive interior and exterior scenes, or functioned as green rooms. More productions are on their way. Next up is The Rogue (Season Four), which will spend two days in Cloverdale July 20-21. But the biggest news of the summer is the arrival of the celebrity-infused heavy hitter, Why We’re Killing Gunther, a comedy written and directed by Saturday Night Live’s Taran Killam (The Heat, 12 Years a Slave) and starring Vancouver’s Cobie Smulders (How I Met Your Mother), Kumail Nanjiani (Silicon Valley) and a certain former California governor and action film star, Arnold “I’ll Be Back” Schwarzenegger. For the most part, the productions are being welcomed with open arms. The secret is short-duration shoots – days, not weeks – a little advance See COOLNESS FACTOR / Page 3

Devon Holcroft is a relative newcomer to kayaking; he hung up his hockey skates last fall to try the sport.

By Jennifer Lang With the B.C. Summer Games just a week away, a pair of kayakers from Clayton Heights Secondary are eager to represent their hometown on the waterways of the Fraser River. Newbie Devon Holcroft and Elissa Elmadani of the Fort Langley Canoe and Kayak Club have been training five days a week to prepare for the games, set for July 21-24 in Abbotsford and Fort Langley.

There’s coolness factor in having productions here From page one

Some business owners still feel burned by their experience with Deck The Halls (2006), which was to spend eight weeks in Cloverdale but the shoot ballooned to 11 weeks. “It was a nightmare,” Orazietti says. No one has forgotten, meaning Hollywood North has to be mindful of not wearing out its welcome, as is increasingly the case with Cloverdale-like location favourites Ladner and Fort Langley. “Everybody has a threshold level,” he says, adding it’s easier to accept short productions and those with deeper budgets that adequately compensate for lost

business. The feeling is, “When you come here, you’re costing me money,” he explains. “I think the city is recognizing that.” He says tying up a street for weeks creates hard feelings and compromised bottom lines for businesses that depend on walk-in street traffic and ease of access, such as the restaurants, services and retail stores that make up Cloverdale’s core downtown businesses. Orazietti says Rufus 2 was asked to film later in the day to minimize disruption for local businesses. Not scheduling overlapping or backto-back productions is another key to keeping local businesses happy: For ex-

The former Maple Leaf Foods plant in Cloverdale was torn down last month. Local Roger Bose says the site has been home to several processed meat operations.

More to the story There is an addendum to our recent update (“A plant with roots,” June 22) to a story about the origins on the former Maple Leaf Foods plant in Cloverdale (“Maple Leaf plant torn down,” June 1). The plant – which closed in 2011 – has been torn down, and nearly all traces of it are being carried away. The location, former farmland at 55 Avenue and 176 Street, has been home to a number of meat processing businesses over the years, starting with the Bolters’ Homestyle Chicken and Turkey plant at 5523 Pacific Highway (176 Street). The site was more recently the location for a massive Schneiders plant that eventually became a Maple Leaf Foods. Local historian and Roger Bose, a life-long resident of Cloverdale, says in between the Bolters homegrown operation and Schneiders, there was one more business on the site: Fleetwood Sausages.

Long memories

A crew from the TV movie Rufus 2 films outside the Hawthorne Beer Market & Bistro last week.

Free Friday night movies are back this summer, thanks to the City of Surrey’s family movie program. In Cloverdale and Clayton, the weekly movies alternate between Don Christian Park, 6220 184 Street, and Katzie Elementary School, 6887 194A Street. The series kicked off last Friday at Don Christian Park with Night at the Museum. Next up is Toy Story July 15 at Katzie Elementary, followed by Frozen July 22 at Don Christian Park, and Aladdin on FriFriday at Katzie Elementary day, July 29 at Katzie Elementary.

notice and a generous dose of careful diplomacy, according to Orazietti. He also credits the City of Surrey’s current film liaison – James Monk – for demonstrating a savvy understanding of the needs of local small business operators and the needs of B.C.’s booming film industry. However Orazietti sees room for improvement. For instance, Surrey requires 78-hour posted notice of parking disruption. He believes that’s too long for small businesses that depend on reliable access to their establishments and that 24 hours is sufficient. “The majority of people driving by are only going to see the No Parking sign” and not the dates and hours, so there’s a greater risk shoppers will simply drive away rather than find alternate parking, he explains.

ample, not scheduling productions that would impede Cloverdale Market Days, slated for the last Saturday of the month this summer, Orazietti said. There was a time when Cloverdale was known as the Home of Smallville because of its connections to the long-running, filmed-in-B.C. TV series, which ended in 2011. The show was Cloverdale’s number-one tourist draw, an association that produced spin offs for years as fans made pilgrimages to such landmarks as the Clova Cinema, which retains its Smallville era makeover and paint job to this day. In 2016, his advice to businesses is embrace the trend and roll with it, such as by capitalizing on connections to particular episodes of old shows to blow away “superfans.” He points out the city received in the neighbourhood of $5,000 in filming permits and fees for Rufus 2’s three-day shoot in Cloverdale July 6-8. It’s not known how much local businesses were compensated, but the production earned rave reviews up and down 176 Street. In his view, when managed properly, welcoming instead of shooing away the film sector can be an important component of a multi-faceted strategy of attracting new business to the historic centre. Orazietti hopes BIA members will recognize that in the short term – and in the long run – “Cloverwood” is good for business. “We’ve seen people come back here years later because of Smallville. They stopped filming [here] in 2006,” he says. “There’s a coolness that comes from all these people coming here.”

The Minister of Finance says he wants Lower Mainland cities to continue to densify in order to keep house prices steady. However, the Ministry of Finance also holds the purse strings when it comes to funding new schools so if he wants Surrey to continue to densify he needs to be proactive in funding new schools in our city.

Foreign purchases were most prevalent in Richmond, where they made up 14 per cent of the total counted, followed by 11 per cent in Burnaby and four per cent in Vancouver. De Jong said he doesn’t want to draw major conclusions until more data comes in, but said the province will finally have real evidence to base policy on. “It is actual, it is factual and it is beyond conjecture,” de Jong said. “It is beyond theories and speculation. I attach importance to the data and we’re going to approach it with an open mind.” The province also released statistics showing 108,000 new housing units are at various stages of development within six Metro Vancouver cities. They include 30,000 in Burnaby, 25,500 in Vancouver, 20,000 in Surrey, 16,500 in Richmond, 10,500 in New Westminster and 5,500

By Jeff Nagel Foreign nationals, mainly Chinese, bought 5.1 per cent of the homes sold in Metro Vancouver in a threeweek period of June, according to the first release by the B.C. government of data on the impact of offshore real estate investment. Speculation has swirled for years about the effect of offshore buyers, particularly from China, but the province only began tracking the citizenship of home buyers in June. Buyers are now required to declare on their property tax transfer form if they are Canadian citizens or permanent residents, or else provide their country of citizenship. Of the 5,118 property transactions in Metro from June 10-29, there were 260 deals with foreign buyers and 234 of those or 4.6 per cent declared Chinese citizenship. No other country accounted for more than 0.1 per cent of transactions, and Korea, Taiwan, India and Romania were the next highest sources. A total of 337 purchases by foreign nationals were made province-wide. Finance Minister Mike de Jong noted the average purchase price paid by foreign buyers was significantly higher at $1.1 million, compared to $735,000 for the average Canadian citizen or permanent resident. As a result, the homes bought by foreign nationals accounted for 6.5 per cent of the Metro Vancouver total by value, or $350 million worth of property. In Surrey, foreign transactions made up three per cent of the total but accounted for five per cent of the

Mall expansion in the works a new modern look, with “spirit of the West Coast architecture,” a 1,000-stall underground parking facility, and a focus on pedestrian comfort. “It’s going to be a different kind of space. It’s going to be lifestyle oriented (and) pedestrian oriented type retail,” said Chrystal Burns, vice president of asset management for Bentall Kennedy, which manages the mall.

“We believe that people in Langley, both in Willowbrook and around, are actually leaving Langley to do the shopping they need to do at Guildford (in Surrey) or elsewhere, and we want to provide that shopping in the neighbourhood.” Part of these upgrades includes the relocation of Sport Check and Toys ‘R’ Us stores to the old Target storefront, which has

sat empty since the U.S. retail giant pulled out of Canada in 2015. Those plans came to Township council on June 27 for public hearing, where they received praise from several councillors.

By Miranda Gathercole Langley’s largest mall is set to receive a significant upgrade.

The mall will have

Although they are still in the process of securing new tenants, Burns said the outdoor mall will likely include a grocery store, restaurants, coffee shops, local retail and fashion stores, and will have “somewhat like a Park Royal village feel.” “We’ve done surveys from our shoppers, and the retailers at the mall, and they’ve all said we need more retail, we want to see this type of retail, we want to see that, we would like a place to eat, we want a place to hang out and relax and be together,” Burns said. “Because really, in Langley we’ve got strip centres and then we’ve got Willowbrook Shopping Centre, so we’re

responding to what the community needs and that site is big and can accommodate more retail.” A budget for the project has yet to be released, and pending approval, the earliest construction could begin is late 2017. Phase one of Willowbrook Mall was built in 1979, with the last major renovation completed in 2007. Currently, there are 6.9 million shoppers who visit the mall’s 150 stores each year, as

well as 500,000 website visits, 45,000 digital followers and 68,000 daily drive-by traffic trips. The mall’s largest tenants are Hudson’s Bay, Sport Chek, Toys ‘R’ Us and Sears.

Many say the resources required, such as good addictions services and long-term psychiatric help, are hard to find. Waterhouse understands those concerns. “Definitely, one of the aspects we’re looking at is ensuring the appropriate resources are in place,” Waterhouse said. That will mean significant buy in from senior levels of government, primarily the province. “It’s a case where, ideally, all levels of government play a role,” Waterhouse said. As to the requirement of an actual court, 1996, one of Bhogal’s first jobs was at a Chapters store – she was curious about what Canadians read, she says. She says she had familiar issues immigrants have in a new society, even though she spoke the language. Twenty years later, she’s responsible for all of Surrey’s nine libraries. “They’re all very different and very unique,” she says, adding she’s got lots of work to do to get acclimated to her new role. “I’m going to eat the elephant one bite at a time.”

along with a dedicated judge and crown, Waterhouse said the jury is still out on how necessary that is. “We haven’t done

enough work to know that is an absolute requirement,” Waterhouse said. He noted the key element to this strategy will be the provision of

Surinder Bhogal is Surrey’s new chief librarian. A veteran of the Surrey Libraries system since 1997, Bhogal takes over from Melanie Houlden, her former boss, who had been at the helm since 2011 and retired in June. “I’m very proud to be here at this moment in my life,” says Bhogal, the former deputy chief librarian, at her new office at the City Centre Library. “In September, I will have been here for 20 years.” Bhogal has worked for the Surrey Libraries as a branch manager at the City Centre, Strawberry Hill and Whalley branches, and as the Manager of Information Services at Guildford Library. She was instrumental in the planning and opening of both Strawberry Hill and City Centre libraries. Half a decade ago, she was part of the team that designed the unique North Surrey landmark. Admitting to a personal bias, she calls it a “fantastic building” – not yet to full capacity, and a major gathering place ready to evolve with the needs of a growing community. “We are extremely pleased to have

a combination of the two,” Watts said. “You need the integration between justice and health and the intergovernmental aspect of it. “But you still have to have a component where there is accountability in terms of the criminal justice aspect of it. It would still require community court.” With that court, the surrounding supportive services are also required, she said. “But you’ve still got the integration, and that’s where the justice and the health comes in.” Terry Waterhouse, Surrey’s new Director of Public Safety Strategies, is spearheading the initiative for the city. “Offenders who have multiple needs around homelessness, mental health, addictions, … in a cycle of offending” would be provided services they need to break that cycle, Waterhouse said.

✃

With no movement on the creation of that court, the Surrey Criminal Justice Task Force was created in February, 2014. At a two-day workshop at city hall the task force opted for the integrated services model instead. “… the task force determined that increased communication and collaboration promised to be a more effective response to the identified challenges than creating a specialized or community court,” the task force found in the report prepared for then-Mayor Dianne Watts and Attorney General Suzanne Anton. The Vancouver Community Court has the structure without the needed support services, now Surrey is planning the services without the physical structure. Watts doesn’t think that will work so well. “That’s why you have

✃

By Kevin Diakiw Surrey is examining an alternative to community court, zeroing in on a plan forwarded to the city more than a year ago. On June 20, Surrey’s Public Safety Committee considered an Integrated Services Network (ISN), a collection of services that will model a long-sought after community court in this city. The ISN, which will likely be located in the old city hall building near the provincial courts, will focus on people with addictions, mental health issues and challenges with housing. Services for those people will be available in the one building and will hopefully bring them assistance, rather than simply mete out punishment. It’s what the city and province are aiming for instead of the community court Surrey has asked for since 2006.

By Boaz Joseph Lyanne Smith was driving buses in the Lower Mainland at a time when another Trudeau was prime minister. She and commuters have history. Smith, who grew up in Surrey, collected things over her nearly 39-year career – old bus tickets, passes, transfers, pamphlets, even company magazines like The Buzzer and The Intercom. Now, her memorabilia, which hails from the 1890s to the early 2000s, is on display at the Museum of Vancouver’s (MOV) interactive exhibition – All Together Now: Vancouver Collectors and Their Worlds, which runs until Jan. 8, 2017. “I love the old tickets,” says Smith, now retired and living on Vancouver Island. She began her career as a Vancouver bus driver in 1975, moved over to SkyTrain field operations in 1985 shortly before Expo 86, then headed south to White Rock shuttle bus operations before finishing her career as a duties manager with transit communications in 2014. In all, she worked under four umbrellas: BC Hydro, Metro Transit, BC Transit (with its SkyTrain subsidiary) and Coast Mountain Bus Company. By the 1990s, she had gotten to know some old B.C. motormen and antique dealers, and began to pick up uniforms, belt buckles, lighterss and other trinkets linked whatever company ran the buses and trains. The exhibit includes eclectic curiosities from collectors of Chinese restaurant menus, pinball machines, drag queen memorabilia, 19th-century corsets, concert posters and vintage artificial limbs collected by the son of a prosthetist. “The act of collecting is a fascinating way to engage with one’s identity, history and community,” says MOV Curator of Contemporary Culture Viviane Gosselin. “This exhibition enables visitors to enter into the rich, often-unknown worlds of collectors, and to think about how private collections can affect our understanding of the past. In this way, it reminds us of the importance of collectors as memory keepers.” Smith’s collection – joined by a couple of items from fellow B.C. transit enthusiast Angus McIntyre – goes back further than the companies she worked for. They include the BC Electric Railway and the even older National Electric Tramway

and Lighting Company. She notes that one train ticket in her collection, from 1980, might be the oldest one in existence in B.C. Although her employment only goes back so far, there’s still much in the way the region evolved since. “Transit was incredibly different,” she recalls of her work behind the wheel in the 1970s. “When I started, there was still a respect for the uniform.” Although she hasn’t driven a bus is years, she had noticed over the years – anecdotally or otherwise – the increased traffic and less cordial behavior of passengers and subsequent stress for present-day bus drivers. Smith says that while she doesn’t miss the dayto-day work, she’s still got certain nostalgia for the things she picked up along the way. One other thing Smith collected while a transit operator: Norm. “We met on the job, got married, and here we are,” she says. “Like Stan and Olive,” she adds, referring to characters in a 1969-73 British sitcom called On the Buses. Whittling down her possessions in the last several months, Smith Sm has donated some of her items from the exhibit to the MOV’s perm manent collection. But she still finds herself oc occasionally browsing the odd ant antique store. ““I thought I was just done col collecting, but I don’t think you ever are.” The Museum of Vancouver is at 1100 Chestnut St. at Vanier Park. It’s open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and closes at 10 p.m. on Thursdays. Admission is $15 for adults, $11 for students, seniors and kids aged 12-18, and $5 for kids aged eight to 11.

Monique Tamminga If 2015 was the year of the bear at Critter Care rehabilitation centre, 2016 is the year of coyotes and fawns, said founder Gail Martin. At one point last year 32 orphaned or injured bear cubs crowded the wildlife rescue facility in Campbell Valley Park. This year, the picture is quite different. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have 19 coyotes and 18 fawns, and counting,â&#x20AC;? said Martin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had to enlarge the fawn enclosure and actually put in a tunnel linking it to another enclosure just to make room.â&#x20AC;? The increased numbers are the result of habitat loss and human intervention. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mom will leave her babies in tall grass, and they will lie still there while she goes out to graze,â&#x20AC;? said Martin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But people see that as an abandoned fawn and feel the need to rescue it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best plan is to monitor the situation and see if mom returns.

of the year the facility is open to the public, when the animals can be viewed. Tours, led by volunteers, give visitors a chance to get up close to baby raccoons, fawns, otters, beavers and skunks. The barbecue food stop will be on site and the four Campbell Valley wineries â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Backyard Vineyards, Vista Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oro, Chaberton Estate Winery and Township 7 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will sell glass stem-

Cavities are permanently damaged areas in the hard surface of your teeth that develop into tiny openings or holes. Cavities, also called tooth decay or caries, are caused by a combination Dr. Ishtpreet Mangat of factors, including bacteria in your mouth, frequent snacking, sipping sugary drinks, and not cleaning your teeth well. If cavities aren’t treated, they get larger and affect deeper layers of your teeth. They can lead to severe toothache, infection and tooth loss. Regular dental visits and good brushing and flossing habits are your best protection against cavities and tooth decay. The signs and symptoms of cavities vary, depending on their extent and location. When a cavity is just beginning, you may not have any symptoms at all. Decay present in between teeth can only be detected on x-rays until it becomes very large. As the decay gets larger, it will cause symptoms such as a toothache, sensitivity, pain on biting and visible holes or pits. Evening & weekend appointments available

I want to start my own business. What do I do?

Preventing Identity Theft Want A Mortgage-Burning Party? 5 ways to do it sooner.

It’s always exciting to begin your own business. When to go 100% or work part-time at your old job is a tough decision. Do I need to charge GST or not devan Delden, pends on the income you make. Not Kevin CPA, CGA, B.Ed registering for GST means you cannot get a refund on items purchased but you don’t collect GST on sales either, giving you a 5% advantage on your competitors while you build your business. Just a couple of things to consider. Need more? Feel free to stop on by anytime for no obligation chat.

The faster you can pay off your mortgage, the more you’ll save in interest and the faster you can build wealth. Here are five ways to do it sooner:

Feisal Panjwani, AMP 1. Add a bit to your monthly payment. Finding an extra $50 each month could shave years - and thousands of dollars - off your mortgage. 2. Make a yearly pre-payment. Put a lump sum on your mortgage each year, eg. tax refund or bonus. There is a much greater impact when made early in the mortgage.

3. Increase your income? Increase your payments. Just pretend your income didn’t increase and maintain your usual lifestyle.

4. Choose bi-weekly payments. Instead of paying monthly 12 times per year, pay every two weeks for 26 payments, giving you one more payment each year.

5. Stay informed. Don’t let your mortgage go on auto pilot. Save money at renewal and take advantage of opportunities.

Your Financial Advisor Expert

Q: A:

We just bought a DIY Will kit for our estate planning, we have a house, investments & GIC collectively $950,000 and couple rental properties that we bought almost 15 years ago. We would like to distribute it among our children; Do we need anything else apart from the will?

In 10 years that i have been helping my clients with estate planning tools, I can never stress this enough: A Will alone is not an estate plan! A Will is a key component of an Manmeet Kaur (Nina) effective estate plan. A true estate plan is a reasoned Financial Coach strategy for arranging your personal and property affairs. Estate plan requires you and your financial advisor to work very closely with your accountant and lawyer to make sure a well-tailored plan is created. Estate planning goes beyond simply deciding who gets what; it’s about taking care of yourself and your property while you are living, and making decisions about caring for your family when you have passed on. Advertisements for do-it-yourself Will kits leave the impression that one need only fill in a few blanks to create a legally enforceable Will. Be careful: You may miss out on tax and personal planning opportunities that do not require a Will, and in fact may require that a Will not be involved • Without being properly informed about tax, estate, family and property laws, you run the risk that your wishes are rendered void — or worse — you create unintended legal results that cause increased costs and grief for your family • There is no ongoing monitoring to ensure your estate plan continues to be effective • All else being equal, do-it-yourself Wills are much more easily challenged than a Will prepared after full consultation with a lawyer

GET EQUIPPED - Visibility: of the scooter Bobbi Sharon and scooter operator. Consider ways to Law Langlois increase visibility including lights, directional White Rock Surrey Manager indicators, a horn, rear-view mirror, rear Manager & Owner reflectors and a pole with a flag.

Only travel on the road when there is no sidewalk or when the scooter driver crosses the road from sidewalk to sidewalk. • Avoid using the scooter at dusk or in the dark. • Drive at the same speed as other pedestrian traffic. • It is recommended that scooters continue to travel against the flow of traffic (ie. facing traffic). • Obey all traffic signals intended for pedestrians. • When using a bicycle lane and when there is no sidewalk, scooters must travel with the flow indicated on the bicycle lane.

A bouncy castle run amok: the Insane Inflatable 5K.

Insanely ‘fun’ obstacles

Q: I have nerve pain in my feet and do not

like the side effects of the prescription medications my doctor prescribed. Are there safe alternatives that I can try?

A: BROCCOFUSION® is an ointment

that makes use of Sulforophane ®, a phytochemical found commonly Christine Cheng, in cruciferous vegetables such as R.Ph. broccoli for its antioxidant and antiinflammatory properties. Rubbing BroccoFusion® ointment onto the soles of the feet two to three times daily has been reported to help with neuropathic pain. Another option is NEURAGEN®, a botanical blend containing Geranium oil known to relieve pain from shingles, diabetic neuropathies, sciatica, and fibromyalgia. A few drops massaged into the affected area can provide quick relief. Both of them can be safely used on intact skin. The homeopathic complex PERIPHERAL NERVE MIX can be used orally to complement these topical options.

Cloverdale players called to NHL draft By Rick Kupchuk Three local players had their names call at last month’s National Hockey League Entry Draft in Buffalo, New York. Cloverdale Minor Hockey alumni Jakob Stukel and Tyler Soy, as well as Delta’s Beck Malenstyn, were drafted June25 morning. The Washington Capitals selected Malenstyn in the fifth round, 147th overall. Stukel

was claimed by the Vancouver Canucks in the sixth round, 154th overall. Soy went to the Anaheim Ducks in the seventh round, 205th overall. All three players were in the Western Hockey League (WHL) last season. Malenstyn was with the Calgary Hitmen, where was the recipient of Calgary’s Chrysler Canada Inc. Scholastic Player of the Year

Award and was a gold medalist with Canada at the 2015 U18 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup. One of five Hitmen players drafted, the sixfoot-two, 190-pound centre scored eight goals and 25 points in his second full season in the WHL. Stukel is a teammate of Malenstyn in Calgary, and led the Hitmen in scoring last year with 36 goals. The five-foot-11, 182-pound

left winger began last season close to home with the Vancouver Giants, but was dealt to the Hitmen after a dozen games. In 2012-13, Stukel led the B.C. Hockey Major Midget League’s Valley West Hawks with 30 goals in 38 games played, but struggled offensively in the WHL until moving to Calgary. He tallied five times and had 16 points in his

rookie season in 201415, and netted just two goals in the 12 games with the Giants at the start of last season. In 57 games with the Hitmen, he scored 36 times and added 22 assists. “Extremely honoured to be a part of such a great organization and the team I grew up watching,” Stukel tweeted after he was selected by the Canucks. “Can’t wait for camp!”

A five-foot-11, 174-pound centre, recently completed his third season in the WHL. He played all 72 games and totaled 85 points with a team-record 46 goals, He added seven goals and 12 points in a dozen playoff games. “It’s definitely a dream come true,” said Soy of his selection by the Ducks. “To be selected is a great feeling, and it

speaks to the success of our team to be one of four players drafted.” Soy was named the recipient of the Brad Hornung Trophy as the WHL’s Most Sportsmanlike Player at the end of the season. He has played in 213 career WHL regular season games, all with the Royals, He has 90 goals and 180 points.

Former Surrey Eagle forward set to join SFU By Nick Greenizan A former Surrey Eagle is set to continue his hockey career on Burnaby Mountain. Sam Chatterley – a Semiamhoo Minor Hockey Association alum – has committed to play next season with the Simon Fraser University Clan. Chatterley, a forward, has spent the last two seasons at the junior ‘A’ level, split between the Eagles and the Kindersley Klippers of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. Over 90 games split between the two teams, he tallied 11 goals

Sam Chatterly will play this fall at SFU.

and 14 assists. Chatterley will be expected to add some grit to the SFU lineup, a news release from the team notes. “Sam is the type of player you are happy to have on your team, but is a real handful to play against,” said SFU assistant coach Tom Spencer, who coached Chatterley as a major-midget player with the Valley West Hawks. Head coach Mark Colette praised the forward as someone who “is willing to do whatever it takes to… help the team win each night.”

Chatterley will be the fourth member of the SFU team from Surrey, joining Mac Barden, Jordan Liem and Tyler Basham. All three local minor-hockey associations – Surrey, Cloverdale and Semiahmoo – are represented on the team’s current roster. SFU plays in the BC Intercollegiate Hockey League, a circuit that includes Castlegar’s Selkirk College, Trinity Western University, the University of Victoria and Eastern Washington University in Cheney, Wash.
