Hammer’s fired up for hockey homecoming
There are certain people or places that can have a profound impact on your life, personally and professionally.
Prince George and its people is one of those places for Dan Hamhuis.
The Vancouver Canucks defenceman wouldn’t be where he is now without the significant contribution of the northern B.C. community where Hamhuis and his Vancouver Canucks teammates begin training camp today.
Hamhuis could not be more proud to bring his teammates back to his old junior hockey stomping grounds.
He played four years with the Prince George Cougars, leaving his Smithers home at age 15 to join the Western Hockey League team. He joked Thursday that he was excited about the move, his mom not so much.
