The Kings are proud to announce that former players and teammates Kyle Leahy and Reid Campbell continue to find success in their NCAA Division 3 careers.
Campbell was a key component of the Kings’ backline for four years. He joined the Kings in the 2006-2007 and grew as an individual not only the ice but in his role as a young leader in the community. He played four season with the Kings including 2 runs in the Fred Page Cup league finals.
Head coach and General Manager Kent Lewis was ecstatic to hear of Campbell’s award. “Reid had a fabulous four years here in Powell River. He was a pleasure to coach and it’s amazing to see his accomplishments. He grew into a solid defence man at our level and we’re proud to see him continue to succeed at college.”
Kyle Leahy was 'the tough guy' and a heart and soul player for the Kings from 2006-2008. In his last year, Leahy wore an 'A' and was a key component of the Kings' working their way to their first Fred Page Cup finals run in a number of years.

“Johan is the physical and emotional leader of our team,” said St. Norbert head coach Tim Coghlin in a news release. “He is our captain, leading scorer, top defensive player, leading shot blocker and hardest worker on the ice and in the classroom.”
Wick also won top coaching honors in 2009 and this year, guided the Saints to a 14-7-4 regular-season record and a second-place finish in the NCHA.
