MANITOBANS NAMED TO
WHL ALL-STAR TEAMS
It was certainly a great Western Hockey League season for three
young Manitoba players.
Winnipeggers’ Cody Glass (West) and Adam Brooks (East) have
been named to the WHL’s First All-Star teams while Strathclair’s
Morgan Geekie (West) was named to the Second Team, the West-
ern Hockey League announced last month.
Glass, 18, who should be selected in the first round of this year’s
National Hockey League draft, is a centre with the Portland Winter
Hawks. He had 32 goals and 94 points in 69 games this season.
Brooks, 20, who was drafted last year by the Toronto Maple
Leafs, finished with 43 goals and 87 assists for 130 points and
missed winning his second straight WHL scoring title by one point.
Like Glass, he’s a former Hawks Bantam and Thrashers Midget.
Geekie, 19, played all 72 games for the Tri-City Americans and
had 35 goals and 90 points. He played bantam and midget for the
Yellowhead Chiefs and played two games with the Neepawa Na-
tives in 2014 before being called up to Tri-City.
KILDONAN NORTHSTARS CELEBRATE
50TH ANNIVERSARY
If the Kildonan Northstars were still in the MJHL, they’d be
50-years-old. As it is, the Northstars have just held the 50th anni-
versary of the club and they had an outstanding turnout.
“We actually had an amazing turnout of Alumni on Apr. 1,” said
Ken Sutherland. “We had more than 50 attendees from all over
North America with some notables such as Perry Miller, Chris
Walby, Karl Friesen, Warren Skorodenski and Gord Tumilson. Also
Paul Charles, who is now a scout for the Minnesota Wild, joined us.
“Once a Northstar always a Northstar. The next gathering prom-
ises to be bigger and better.”
