YellowknifeSA国际影视传媒檚 Liam Tereposky has been playing in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL) for a few seasons but heSA国际影视传媒檚 yet to play a full one due to Covid-19.

HeSA国际影视传媒檚 hoping this season will be the one where he gets to finish what he started.

The 19-year-old is back as one of the goaltenders for the Waywayseecappo Wolverines. He already has five games under his belt in the 2021-22 season. As of Oct. 4, he had an official record of four wins and one loss, the first defeat coming this past Saturday at the hands of the Swan Valley Stampeders, 6-1.

SA国际影视传媒淚t would have been nice to go 6-and-0 to start the season but thatSA国际影视传媒檚 the reality of playing in a good league,SA国际影视传媒� said Tereposky.

He joined the Wolverines in 2019 after impressing Josh Lee, the teamSA国际影视传媒檚 assistant coach, during the Canadian North Rec Hockey Tournament that April.

SA国际影视传媒淛osh was watching me in the final against Deline and that got the ball rolling,SA国际影视传媒� said Tereposky. SA国际影视传媒淗e saw me again at the (2019 National Aboriginal Hockey Championship) later on and thatSA国际影视传媒檚 where I got the invite to camp for the next season.SA国际影视传媒�

His first season with the Wolverines was shortened when the pandemic began to take hold in March 2020. The MJHL shut things down during the first round of the league playoffs. Last season was pretty much a complete write-off as the Wolverines played in just six games before the league cancelled the remainder of the 2020-21 season.

SA国际影视传媒淭echnically, this is my third season in the league but ISA国际影视传媒檓 hoping this will be the first one that I get to complete from start to finish,SA国际影视传媒� he said.

One thing Tereposky likes about the MJHL is the competitiveness among the teams.

SA国际影视传媒淭hereSA国际影视传媒檚 lots of skill around and the level is pretty equal,SA国际影视传媒� he said. SA国际影视传媒淎ny team can win on any night and itSA国际影视传媒檚 just as good as any other junior league out there.SA国际影视传媒�

The MJHL is considered one step below the Western Hockey League. While Tereposky isnSA国际影视传媒檛 looking at the WHL as a goal, he said he wouldnSA国际影视传媒檛 turn his nose up at it if he had the chance to play.

SA国际影视传媒淚SA国际影视传媒檓 working toward getting myself a scholarship to play (college hockey) in the U.S., but I wouldnSA国际影视传媒檛 be opposed to playing the WHL if the right opportunity came up,SA国际影视传媒� he said.

ThereSA国际影视传媒檚 also the prospect of a professional opportunity, and Tereposky said that would be something heSA国际影视传媒檇 jump at if he had the chance.

SA国际影视传媒淓very kid who plays hockey dreams of playing pro,SA国际影视传媒� he said. SA国际影视传媒淭he National Hockey League is the ultimate goal, but thereSA国际影视传媒檚 a lot of good hockey in North America and in Europe. If I got the right chance, I would definitely consider turning pro.SA国际影视传媒�

The Wolverines have two players from Yellowknife are on the same team, a rare circumstance. Lonan Bulger is a teammate of TereposkySA国际影视传媒檚 and thatSA国际影视传媒檚 been one of the highlights for Tereposky during his time in Waywayseecappo, which lies near the Saskatchewan border.

SA国际影视传媒淚tSA国际影视传媒檚 been a ball playing with him,SA国际影视传媒� he said of Bulger. SA国际影视传媒淭wo hometown kids playing on the same team SA国际影视传媒� nothing better than that. ItSA国际影视传媒檚 a great group of guys here and weSA国际影视传媒檙e battling for game nights.SA国际影视传媒�
