The first reaction from Rankin Inlet rec director David Clark, when approached by the CBC to do a piece on him during the Hockey Day in Canada telecast, was to tell the reporter he didn't want it to be just about him.
Par for the course for Clark, who would likely give up every medal and trophy he's won playing hockey SA国际影视传媒 and that's quite a few SA国际影视传媒 if it meant protecting or bettering his annual hockey camp for the kids.
It wasn't that Clark wasn't blown away by the offer of being part of the telecast. Far from it. He's spent his entire life around the game of hockey SA国际影视传媒 and what hockey fanatic doesn't daydream about being on Hockey Night in Canada?
He was just being honest with the TV folks, while also being really busy SA国际影视传媒 and a little stressed out SA国际影视传媒 planning and scheduling the start of the hockey season around his annual hockey camp, as well as being ready for the Arctic Winter Games selection camp for the bantam team he's coaching.
And this was all going on while the opening of Rankin's new arena kept being delayed due to unforeseen difficulties with the freezing system.
SA国际影视传媒淚t was just a busy, busy week when they first approached me about it,SA国际影视传媒 said Clark, SA国际影视传媒渁nd at the same time all that was going on, we were trying to get a film done on the hockey camp.
SA国际影视传媒淚 wanted to get a little film done to show camp funders rather than always writing proposals, which, to be honest, I'm not that good at.
SA国际影视传媒淭his is a new age when everyone has gone to video and I, for one, appreciate it because I don't learn from books.

Clark said the piece on him for Hockey Day in Canada came together quickly.
He said with Hockey Day in Canada originating from Yellowknife Feb. 8, much of the broadcast was to focus on Northern hockey and it was felt he fit the bill.
SA国际影视传媒淭he people working the show told me that my name keeps coming up, so they wanted to do a story about me,SA国际影视传媒 he said.
SA国际影视传媒淭hey were asking me for ideas on what we could do the story on, so I told them the things I'm most proud of are the hockey school and my coaching.
SA国际影视传媒淎nd, don't forget, at the time I didn't even know if the arena was going to open on time, so it was all a little stressful.
SA国际影视传媒淲hen I got the OK from the Government of Nunavut to hold the camp, I contacted Nick Murray right away in Iqaluit and he came over and did the story on me.SA国际影视传媒
Clark said he liked how the piece on him was approached, with a number of kids from the camp being part of it.
He said it was also a lot of fun to tell stories about Rankin hockey over the years.
SA国际影视传媒淚 was pretty excited about it, but I was also a little nervous.
SA国际影视传媒淲e've all dreamed about being on Hockey Night in Canada SA国际影视传媒 of course those dreams are about playing SA国际影视传媒 but I didn't quite get that far so, I guess, this will just have to do.
SA国际影视传媒淚'm also really curious to see what the finished product will look like from the filmmaker we had come to Rankin for our hockey camp.
SA国际影视传媒淪he does mini documentaries too, so I'm looking forward to seeing what she came up with.SA国际影视传媒
