Peewee Reps skate with Toronto Maple Leaf Centerman Peter Holland
On Saturday January 24th the Mitchell Peewee Rep team got a surprise visit from National Hockey League player Peter Holland.
Minutes before taking the ice for a practice in St. Mary's, Joey Hill a defenceman for the Peewees entered the dressing room followed by his cousin Holland. Peter casually asked if the team would mind if he skated with them and naturally they all agreed. The 24 year old NHL'er spent the hour interacting with the players joining them on regular practice drills, chatting with the team and encouraging any job well done.
This was one practice that the boys wished would never end. Afterwards Holland, the Bolton native, shared his hockey timeline playing for the Brampton Jr. Battalion, playing Jr. for the Guelph Storm, being drafted in the first round 15th overall by the Anaheim Ducks and in 2013 being trade to his favorite team the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Thank you Peter for taking time out of your schedule to inspire our young athletes good luck!
