It was a special night in Churchbridge as the community honoured one of its hockey heroes.
Former National Hockey League player and now head coach of the LaRonge Icewolves Kevin Kaminski brought his Junior club to his hometown for a Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League game versus the Yorkton Hyundai Terriers.
Unknown to Kaminiski the town took the opportunity to mark his career and community spirit unveiling signage pre-game identifying the arena where his career began is now the Kaminski Arena. (See the full story posted here).
The emotion of the unveiling would not quite translate into a win for Kaminski’s Icewolves, although they would get a point out of the contest.
Samson Mouland and Jake Gudjonson would score for La Ronge, while Evan Sare and Ethan Robson scored in regulation for Yorkton, the 2-2 tie sending the teams to overtime.
Jordan Guiney would put one past Icewolves netminder Liam McGarva putting just a bit of a dampener on festivities for Kaminski, and his loyal followers in his hometown.
