Waiting game begins on City Centre development City of Colwood expecting tax money, anticipates new owner Don Descoteau News staff

In a way, the exposed rebar at the stalled Capital City Centre development at Colwood Corners resembles metal weeds that

have sprouted up from a period of neglect.

With the liquidation of its assets expected to start in earnest soon, it’s clear the League group, which once had a grand vision for the 13.9-acre site, won’t be the developers of the site.

The recent decision to include the Colwood site with League’s other holdings in the court-ordered mass selloff is good news to Colwood Mayor Carol Hamilton.

“We’re still sitting with a hole in the ground,” she said. “But I’m hoping there’s

Some choices are hard.

some attraction to it that will bring somebody to the forefront. Hopefully there will be somebody out there who can realize the benefit to what has already been done.”

By the time construction stopped on the project last summer, the only work completed was essentially an underground parking lot.

While investors in the failed company will receive their vastly diluted share of the funds once the company’s assets have been liquidated, Colwood expects to see the out-

standing property taxes and fees in full.

It also includes interest that has accrued.

The current amount owed, with interest, is approximately $350,000, according to city finance staff. The mayor stressed that “Colwood is not at risk.”

The City Centre situation is far different than when the Lehigh gravel pit closed in 2007-08.

Denise McCormick, left, and Lindsey Hay of the floral department are hard at work setting up at the new Quality Foods grocery store on Langford Parkway.

Langford store makes it an even dozen for Quality Foods Family owned grocery chain brings its game to the West Shore Don Descoteau News staff

For more than 30 years, Quality Foods has built a following on the mid- and North Island.

In the span of a year or so, the independent grocer will open not one, but two stores on the West Shore, its first outlets in Greater Victoria.

“We’ve long had an eye to Victoria, but the opportunities were few and far between,” said Rob McKay, Quality Foods marketing director.

This week’s opening of its store in Langford marks the company’s first foray into what McKay admits is a highly competitive grocery market.

Quality Foods has some momentum going in, he said.

“There seems to be a pent-up demand for Victoria. We’ve been getting phone calls and emails and personal comments from people asking us, ‘when are you guys coming down here?”

The Langford Parkway location is store number 12 for the company, which began in 1982 when partners Ken Schley, John Briulo and Noel Hayward restored an abandoned grocery store in Qualicum Beach.

The next location in this area will be in View Royal, on the site of the development at the corner of Helmcken Road and Watkiss Way near Victoria General Hospital. It

is due to open sometime in 2015.

Langford Mayor Stew Young is excited for the economic opportunities the new Quality Foods will bring to his community, with 75 to 100 jobs to be filled initially.

“The jobs that it creates is obviously number one for our community. It’s great that another large employer has decided that Langford is a great place to move,” he said.

“We have some of the strongest growth in the region. A lot of our residents need the jobs.”

In addition to offering employment opportunities, the new Quality Foods will also provide another grocery option closer to home for Langford residents, said Young, as well as injecting some friendly competition into the mix.

“It’s healthy for our community … and it’ll possibly lower prices for food which is always a good thing,” he said.

McKay said the location of the store is ideal, with its proximity to the new Capital Iron store, as well as City Centre Park.

“We’re hoping to draw from a greater population area, but our focus, of course, is the West Shore community,” he said. “That’s pretty good in and of itself.”

Capital Iron owner Mike Black said at the time of his store’s opening in April that the impending opening of Quality Foods was part of his company’s decision to locate in the former furniture store plaza.

Jordan Schley, Ken’s son, is manager of the new store and brings enthusiasm and family pride to the job, McKay said.

Among the features the new

McKay said Quality Foods has been a pioneer in terms of bring-

ing specialty foods and services to its stores, from freshly made Chinese food and in-store cafés to old-style delis.

Metal rebar tubes stick up on the Capital City Centre development site near Colwood Corners. The project was stalled last year and is part of a disastrous financial situation for League Group investors. However, the City of Colwood, as a secured creditor, expects to see the nearly $350,000 it is owed in unpaid property taxes.

That property, now central to the massive Royal Bay development project, was re-assessed at the time and transformed from a revenue-producing operation to a fallow piece of land.

“It took a million dollars out of the coffers of the city in taxation,” Hamilton said.

A report released last month for stakeholders by court-appointed monitor PricewaterhouseCoopers laid out the reasons for League’s collapse, including the devastating blow to the market value of the Colwood property, on which it embarked upon its first “ground-up” development. League’s property holdings primarily consisted of existing buildings.

The report states that League intends to liquidate all operations and assets by the end of 2014, rather than consider restructuring and attempt some form of development on the Colwood property.

Answering residents who point fingers at the City of Colwood in this scenario, Hamilton said even with staff and council’s best efforts, it’s difficult to foresee the market changes and other factors that can lead to the financial ruin of development companies.

“We would probably be safer to look (only) at small residential subdivisions, but what does that speak to at the end of the day for the overall health of the community? Not much.”

Facilitating economic growth requires taking chances with well-established, well-backed developers who are willing to dig deep and invest in the community, she said. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

West Shore RCMP are looking for those responsible for stringing fishing line across two Langford roads.

Police responded to two calls June 29 of vehicles driving through fishing line strung across the streets.

The near-invisible lines were intentionally strung across Hull Road at Jenkins Avenue, and near the roundabout on Glen Lake Road at Alouette Drive, said West Shore RCMP Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz.

“It is fortunate that no one was injured by this, as the fishing line was strung at a height that would impact a person riding a bike,” she said.

Anyone with information on either case is asked to call RCMP at 250-474-2264 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).” alim@vicnews.com

Bees in trees at Colwood golf club Apiary venture has multiple objectives, says beekeeper Don Descoteau

Royal Colwood Golf Club GM Philip Nurse, left, and beekeeper Barry Denluck of View Royal stand next to honeybee hives built by Denluck and placed on the course.

News staff

In a rather wild area a mere duck-hooked drive away from the 17th tee at Royal Colwood Golf Club, Barry Denluck pulls a bee-filled panel out of one of five hives he recently set up there.

Before pointing out the queen for the visitors, the beekeeper and breeder mutters, “I shouldn’t really be doing this.”

“That’ll probably set them back about two or three days,” Denluck says of the show-andtell session. He notes that honeybees need to be left mostly undisturbed to produce honey.

“We won’t see any honey of significance until next year,” he says.

The beehive project is a joint venture between Denluck, who is field testing his new design of a coastal weather-sensitive hive, and the golf club.

The project emerged from a professional encounter last year between club general manager Philip Nurse, who had a major bee swarm to deal with on the course, and Denluck, the View Royal-based expert called in to take care of it.

The experience got Nurse thinking about creating a place for bees to gather on the course.

“We looked at it from an environmental standpoint,” he says.

The combination of having bees around to pollinate flowers and trees on the 160-acre course, and doing their part to help stem the annual winter die-off of bees in the area, was attractive to club

Don Descoteau/ News staff

members, Nurse adds.

“I wanted to put them somewhere where they’d be visible to members, otherwise it’s out of sight, out of mind,” he says.

The hives developed by Denluck, an executive with the B.C. Honey Producers Association, are designed to attack the issue of bee loss head on. “(It) is designed to accommodate for the changes in temperature and humidity,” he says.

“Winter loss is way too high.

It’s been as high as 40 per cent among our members in Victoria and as high as 60 per cent across the Island. Sustainability requires somewhere around 10 per cent (loss).”

The plan for the hives is to monitor them this season and through the winter and create beehive towers to increase the number of bees and their production as the years go by.

Honeybees, or Apis mellifera as they are scientifically known, are the only strain of bees that do not hibernate, Denluck says.

The goal is to breed bees, particularly queens, that have devel-

oped a tolerance to changes in temperature.

Currently beekeepers on the Island are getting about three years out of queens, but with a specialized apiary, they may be able to live even longer, Denluck says.

The existing hives have about 5,000 bees each in them. At the project’s peak, he expects there to be in the neighbourhood of one million bees in total.

As for the honey, the objective is to produce about 1,000 pounds per year, with roughly one quarter of that going to the golf club for use in the restaurant and for sales in the pro shop.

Nurse is excited about the potential for the bee operation and says club members are as well.

“It’s interesting, when you start talking about it, everybody’s eyes light up,” he says.

The gazebo covering the hives will eventually be painted with the Royal Colwood Golf Club colours to blend in with its surroundings. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW

‘Big Ride’ helps take stigma away Few can argue that mental illness touches everyone.

There are, of course, those who have been diagnosed. Then there are their children, siblings, parents, friends and co-workers.

Talking about Even complete mental health strangers are often hit struggles works with the ripples, as society bears the burden of missed work days, medical visits, inadequate treatment options, etc.

It doesn’t matter that research has led to many strategies and treatments that can help sufferers live productive, even normal, lives.

Perhaps if it felt easier to talk openly about mental illness, things would be different.

For those directly affected, it can feel simpler to try to ignore the reality.

While there have been great strides in the realm of mental illness, society still has a hard time accepting it as a disease.

‘Mental illness’ is still a phrase that doesn’t dare get said in polite company.

But slowly that shroud is lifting.

Some people are becoming more brave to step into the spotlight, to talk about their own struggles.

Clara Hughes, for instance. The former Canadian Olympic cyclist and speedskater shared the story of her own family’s battles with mental illness as she cycled 12,000 kms across Canada.

Clara’s “Big Ride” concluded on July 1 in Ottawa and connected with more than 23,000 young people in 105 communities.

People like Hughes, and those enduring their challenges less publicly, know the difference that acceptance – both of the conditions and the person trying to live with them – makes, and we can all learn from them.

But there is still a long way to go.

No one should feel the need to hide something they cannot control.

The reality is, many of us share the blame for the fact so many people do just that.

McGillivray writes: “When the What remains true today is that Liberal Party won the 2001 election no society has made significant (with all but two seats), it launched social and environmental progress a province-wide referendum on without individual property treaty negotiations, prompting rights. See the woeful state of commentators to suggest the most of Canada’s communally government was ‘trying to impose owned aboriginal reserves, where 19th century ideas on a 21st individually owned property isn’t century problem’.” permitted.

the highest court, a wise move considering that pushing people from their homes would lead to violent confrontations.

Other referendum questions related to preserving public access to Crown land for hunting, fishing and park use. All were endorsed.

The only new question asked if aboriginal self-government “should have the characteristics of local government, with powers delegated from Canada and British Columbia.”

Arguably, that’s what has emerged from the Tsilhqot’in case, which upholds provincial jurisdiction over public forest policy on environmental and fire protection on aboriginal title lands.

By 2009, frustrated with a lack of progress, due to Ottawa’s inaction as well as inconsistent leadership from aboriginal communities, the Campbell government tried to cut the knot. Its proposed Recognition Act would have accepted a form of aboriginal title across the province, based on 30 historical “indigenous nations.”

That idea originated not with the province but with the First Nations Leadership Council. It was rejected by a broader group of aboriginal leaders later that year.

The best way forward, also endorsed in the 2002 referendum, is sharing land use planning. B.C. has also begun sharing resource revenues.

The most likely path, however, is back to court for years to come.

Rebels gain stability as season nears

Vision Matters Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

Coaching, QB situations ironed out for 2014 Don Descoteau News staff

There’s been a few bumps along the way, but the Westshore Rebels are moving forward with some key pieces in place for their football puzzle.

The B.C. Football Conference junior squad staged what was, by most accounts, a successful training camp last weekend at Westhills Stadium.

“You can tell there’s a lot of excitement on this team,” said head coach Andrew Axhorn, who lost co-coach Tom Fong due to personal reasons last week, but gained a new assistant head coach in former Rebel Sheldon Sulliman.

“There’s a lot of players looking forward to this season.”

Some elements of the weekend workouts left Axhorn smiling, including the way the offence stepped up their game for the Sunday scrimmage.

Part of that had to do with the appearance at camp of Hunter Lake, who will help

The 20-year-old Richmond native put finding a job or going to school on hold to come back for a third year with the Rebels, and sounded awfully glad he did.

“Camp was awesome,” he said. “Everyone’s going gungho. You could hear the hits around town, it was lots of fun.”

Lake, the leading passer for yardage in the BCFC last season with 2,051, was also the team’s leading rusher last year with 329 yards. While he would love to pilot a run-andgun style offence, he expects the ground game to be a big part of the Rebels’ attack.

“No matter what the play is, we’ll be doing a lot of running, I’m not worried about that,” he said. “I trust my feet more

than I do my arm.”

Sulliman has some football “cred” with the players, having played for the team and won a BCFC title in 2003 playing alongside new Rebels defensive co-ordinator Ryan Henderson.

“Guys already came up to me to say, ‘it’s nice to have someone who played for the team coaching,’” Sulliman said. “They believe in you that you respect the tradition of the Rebels and that you understand where the team has come from and where we all want to see the team (go).”

The team’s goals for the season are simple, he said.

“We’re not going say we’re going to be the champion, our goal is to have a successful season and build on that. Our plan is to build this program for the future. Our team’s a very young team, which gives us an advantage, cause these guys will be our core guys and that’s the way you really become a championship team.”

The Rebels open the season on the road in Kamloops on July 26 then return to Langford for their home opener against the arch-rival Vancouver Island Raiders, on Aug. 2 at Westhills Stadium.

There will no doubt be home field pride on the line in that game, since the Raiders hammered the Rebels 71-0 in the final game of last season. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Spare glasses • Sunglasses Spare contact lenses A copy of the optical prescription (if traveling outside Canada) It is not just Murphy’s Law that causes those most in need of an optical correction to experience the most difficulty getting a quick replacement lens in an emergency situation. Complex, strong or difficult prescriptions can take longer to make. If you are helpless without your glasses, be prepared for loss or breakage.

Whether in the jungle, on safari or on a luxury cruise, the nearest optical lab can be a long way off.

Sunglasses are a must if you are headed for a sunny spot. You can slather sunscreen on your skin but it really stings if you try it in your eyes! Sunglasses purchased in Canada will generally provide adequate protection from ultra violet light. If you wear prescription glasses, matching clip-ons, photochromic lenses (glass or plastic) or separate sunglasses are all good options. Polarized lenses are particularly good if you plan to be on or near the water.

Contact lens wearers should be especially careful to anticipate problems. If you wear expensive custom made contact lenses, you may balk at the idea of buying a spare pair. Disposable contact lenses might provide tolerable vision in an emergency even if not a precise match for your correction. Discuss this idea with your Optometrist.

Contact lens wearers should wear glasses for long airplane flights because of the dry air supply. In fact, everyone could benefit from lubricating drops in these dry conditions. Contact lens wearers should also be aware that some countries have high levels of air pollution and contaminated water supplies so be careful about hygiene. Fastidiously wash your hands before handling your contact lenses. Montezuma can take revenge on your eyes as well as your tummy. Bring your own solutions if you are not sure of their availability at your destination Ask your Optometrist for advice about “back-up” eyewear and don’t wait until the last minute.

Girls softball provincials hit View Royal Don Descoteau News staff

Thirteen teams will battle it out for provincial under-14 A girls supremacy at this weekend’s Softball B.C. championship tournament in View Royal and Saanich.

And there’s a good chance at least one local team will be in the hunt right up until the end.

The Langford Lightning edged out the Victoria Devils 2000s for the South

Vancouver Island U16C league title – the girls play up an age group to gain experience – and both have done well in tournament play this season.

The Lightning have been finalists in a number of outside tournaments this season and have only lost a half dozen or so games, while chalking up more than 40 victories. Head coach Pat Guiney says the team’s strengths include its balance and the players’ great work

ethic, not to mention their athleticism.

“We’ve got some exceptional athletes in some complementary sports like basketball and soccer,” he says.

“That really helps us.”

The Kevin Bobroskecoached Devils 2000s – named for the players’ birth year – have an equal amount of depth, with four strong pitchers and some serious power at the plate.

“When we talk about power, we have had some girls hit home runs this year,” he said.

“It’s certainly power that I’ve never seen at

this level before.”

The Devils 2001s, coached by Paddy Strandlund, are also playing in the tournament, but are not expected to challenge for the title this time around.

Among the top out-of-town teams entered are the White Rock Renegades, who Bobroske said play more of a singles style of game that focuses on putting the ball in play. Guiney agreed that the Renegades, who will host the nationals this summer, are the “big dog” of the tournament. Also

expected to stick around late in the draw are the Surrey Storm 2000s.

Pool play runs all day Friday (July 11) starting at 8 a.m. at Helmcken-Centennial Park, with opening ceremonies there at 6:15 p.m. The playoff round begins at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at both Centennial and Hyacinth Park in Saanich, continuing Sunday at 8 a.m. at both parks.

The championship game goes at 4:30 p.m.

Instructors and students are in the classes, but the discussion isn’t about high school, it is about art.

Participants from Belgium, the United States and across Canada come year after year – some have been coming for decades – yet pottery co-ordinator Meira Mathison said many locals don’t know it exists. “(It is) more than 40 classes over the two weeks with more than 450 students,” she said. “Because we are bringing in absolutely incredible renowned instructors, it has been wonderful. I have been able to see the best in the world and get to know them and get to see what they are doing.”

LETTERS Colwood sewage letter hits the mark Re: Colwood should think twice before locating sewage plant (Letters, July 2) Kudos to Dave Wing of Langford who sums up in his letter the concerns residents of Colwood should have about letting council proceed with putting a sewage plant, given the fiascos of the two real estate projects on Wale Road and Colwood Corners.

He expressed my concerns exactly. Small councils do not have the necessary experienced staff to deal with large construction projects, as evidenced by the lack of requirement of a performance bond to guarantee satisfactory completion from the companies whose projects failed.

If a performance bond had been held on the first stage of the Capital City Centre project, steps could at least have been taken to protect what had been built so far against the weather as opposed to it being a total write-off. Council has a duty to protect the city and its taxpayers against the impact of incompetent and/or inadequately funded construction companies.

Change orders are the norm on large projects – just look at

the example of the contractor for the Johnson Street bridge, who requested an additional $7.9 million on a fixed price contract of $90 million.

The prospect of large cost overruns on a wastewater plant project, or the cost to fix a plant having a catastrophic failure such as (what) happened in Halifax being borne by the small base of Colwood taxpayers is a very daunting one indeed.

Eileen Bell Colwood

Council too idealistic for residents’ liking Bravo to Dave Wing for telling it like it is.

Colwood, unfortunately, has a reputation for building holes. In fact it has become a bit of a joke, but not to this Colwood taxpayer. While I realize development company bankruptcies are not totally council’s fault, they must learn to examine proposals more carefully and get their collective heads out of their “we are the greenest,” airy fairy mindset that seems to prevail.

Sure, being green is important, but not to the extent of overlooking more

pressing, more realistic aspects of municipal development.

Who cares if we win awards for solar schemes when not enough people have embraced the concept and signed on.

Who cares if we win the race to install more electric car charging stations than any other municipality before we surveyed how many Colwood residents own electric cars.

In 2011 I voted for people I truly believed would bring good management to our city. Instead we get waffling, poor decisions and on top of that, a weak declaration that not enough people were interested in putting the amalgamation question on the ballot this time.

Who did you ask?

On amalgamation, look at Langford, which, by being more aggressive, is getting things done. Think what this attitude and some sound business acumen could mean when merged with Colwood’s land bank – a high-end real estate development with parks, sports facilities and more.

Here’s to Langwood or Colford, whichever you want to call it.

Rock the Shores kicks off weekend with Friday concert Arnold Lim News staff

One of the biggest events on Vancouver Island is back.

Thousands of music fans will descend upon the West Shore Parks and Recreation, July 11 to 13 when Tom Cochrane, The Cult, Billy Talent, Sloan, Our Lady Peace, Mother Mother and many more bands take over the lower soccer fields for the biggest local music festival of the year.

“The people on the Island love rock and here we are happy every year to bring that to people of the West Shore,” said Melanie Ransome of Atomique Productions, which runs the festival. “Every year we got the chance to expand, because the people of the Island want to have an event like this.”

Atomique expects 37,500 people to attend over the three days. The event has grown from 12,500 fans for the one-day concert in 2012 to 20,000 over two days last year.

“We seem to have a growing fan base, which is exciting. We have a ton of Seattle concert goers and (Vancouver) concert goers. It is (also) a nice way to show another part of the Island,” Ransome said. “We display downtown Victoria for Rifflandia and it is Colwood’s chance to sing with Rock the Shores. It is a very local event, but it is an awesome way to show people from out of town what it is all about.”

Colwood Mayor Carol Hamilton also looks forward to the new visitors the larger-than-life event will bring to her neck of the woods this weekend.

“It is an opportunity that the West Shore doesn’t see too often. Downtown they have all kinds of music festivals and events and cultural opportunities, so this has been a great opportunity to turn the tables,” she said. “(It) gets the downtown folks coming in our direction.”

Guitarist-vocalist Chris Murphy of Toronto band Sloan, which performs Saturday night (July 12), plans to arrive a few days early and said he looks forward to getting to know the area.

Come show time, he said, as much fun as the fans will have, he will reciprocate.

“I always have fun. I have fun playing greatest hits, have fun showing off our newest songs … I just like to work,” Murphy said.

The multiple Juno-nominated and award-winning quartet make their return to Victoria after playing Rifflandia two years ago.

Murphy said he and his fellow band members not only look forward to the spectacle of performing in front of a big crowd of fans who not only sing along and know the words, but playing for new fans who may not have grown up with their music.

“We are my own favourite band, because as a fan of music I feel like we do everything I want a band to do, except succeed internationally and commercially,” he said, half jokingly. “We make a living and don’t have to deal with fame. It is perfect.”

Sloan take the stage Saturday along with headliner Billy Talent.

Friday’s top bill goes to Tom Cochrane with Red Rider, The Cult and Gord Downie and the Sadies, while Sunday’s finale features Mother, Mother and

Rules laid out for concertgoers

Rock the Shores attendees have some new guidelines for their experience.

New liquor laws now allow for a site-wide open liquor license, meaning festival goers may enjoy alcoholic beverages across the grounds without need for a fenced beer garden. Rock the Shores is one of the first festivals to adopt the policy.

While not new, there will be especially strict enforcement preventing alcohol from being brought into the event. Anyone caught is subject to immediate ejection.

Parking will again be extremely limited but a dedicated taxi loop, a bike check and lock up area and additional buses running to and from the recreation centre before, during and after the event have been set up to make access to and from the event as seamless as possible.

For details see rocktheshores.com.

Our Lady Peace among other bands.

Ransome said the third iteration of Rock the Shores is one event not to be missed.

“There is definitely a classic rock influence for a lot of our headliners. But we have three days and a lot of artists people can discover. People are going to fall in love with the acts that are here.” alim@vicnews.com (MJHP TZY \JJPQ^ Ć^JWX

In a dressing room at Island Centre of Excellence (ICE) Hockey and Fitness in Colwood, Alec Dillon stops to reminisce a little.

Still in his bulky goalie gear after he and longtime buddy Dysin Mayo were drilled by their former bantam rep coach Trent Brandvold, Dillon thinks about he and Mayo’s earliest hockey days.

“Dysin sent me a picture of the first year we played together,” he said. “Now that we’re here, it’s still weird cause we honestly were the worst players on our initiation team. We were awful, we couldn’t get to the blueline and back, so this is pretty special.”

Going from stumbling around the ice together to both being selected in the fifth round of the recent National Hockey League entry draft definitely represents a quantum leap, albeit one that wasn’t made without a lot of work and ice time along the way.

Brandvold coached both players in bantam at Juan de Fuca and won a pair of provincial titles with those teams. Looking back, he saw a lot of dedication to the game in Mayo, whose attendance at the Pursuit of Excellence camp in Kelowna geared him for play with the Edmonton Oil Kings of the Western Hockey League.

He recalls Dillon winning some games outright for the Grizzlies in his second year of bantam.

“He still competes really hard,” Brandvold said.

“And his size now (six-foot-four) is a huge factor.

But he’s able to keep the puck out of the net and that’s what NHL teams are looking for.”

After taking a month or so off to soak in a Memorial Cup win and rest up from a season-long WHL workload, Mayo said he needed to hit the ice again.

The 18-year-old defenceman, drafted 133rd overall by the Arizona Coyotes, had this week’s prospect development camp in Glendale, Ariz. to think about. “Draft picks from the last three years will be there and some invites. It’ll be tough working out on the ice each day. You gotta be in shape for that,” he said.

Mayo and Dillon, chosen 150th overall by Los Angeles and anticipating this week Kings’ development camp outside L.A., called on Brandvold to help them get ready.

“We’ve been working on lots of footwork drills, lots of skating, lots of shooting to try and get back into it,” said Mayo. Getting drafted, he said, was a “surreal” experience that he enjoyed with friends and family back home on the West Shore. In general, he added, the past season was like a dream.

“I don’t know if it’s totally sunken in yet. We won every thing we could this year, so it’s quite a feeling, pretty unreal.”

While former Grizzlies junior Dillon’s WHL rights are owned by the Oil Kings, he has a scholarship to attend and play college hockey for Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York next season.

“I’m committed to RPI and I’m loyal to them, but if I go down to L.A., they’re obviously going to tell me where they want to see me playing in the next couple of years,” he said. editor@goldstreamgazette.com
