Let’s get this out of the way: The guy’s name sounds like a cross-between a Harry Potter spell and a Star Wars creature. Say it with me: HAL-beh-gah-walks. I’m not going to lie, it’s fun to say. I hope to say it for years to come, screaming it in joy from my seat in the Tank or at my TV. (Hopefully if it does cast a spell, it’s a favorable one).
While his enjoyable-to-yell name may not yet be a household one for Sharks fans, it certainly is for Moose Jaw Warriors fans. That tends to happen when a guy puts up 230 points in 143 WHL games over his last two years, 70 of which were goals last year.
