亚洲天堂 Lake Timbermen sign more players as the hockey season approaches.
Arieus Carifelle is 16 and from Peace River, AB. When he鈥檚 not playing or practicing hockey he鈥檚 playing guitar, enjoying the outdoors and working out. He will be going into Grade 12 and attending Lakes District Secondary School during the school year.
鈥淚鈥檝e been playing hockey since I was five, and I gotta say it鈥檚 everything, I don鈥檛 know what it is but I just love it so much being on the ice. Being more than an offensive player and battling for the puck,鈥� said Carifelle.
Carifelle will be moving to 亚洲天堂 Lake and joining the Timbermen Junior A Hockey club for the 2022-23 hockey season.
鈥淚t is my first time away from home. I heard [亚洲天堂 Lake] is a beautiful place, not much else but I鈥檓 excited to move nonetheless,鈥� Carifelle stated. He played with the Peace River Wranglers as a center last season and had 20 points, 12 goals and eight assists, in a total of 23 games played.
鈥淚鈥檓 very excited to go to 亚洲天堂 Lake, it鈥檚 something new, especially for a 16 year old,鈥� said Carifelle, who does not have a billet home yet.
Kevin Filipowski, the director of player development for the team stated, 鈥淲e鈥檙e really excited to get the season started. There鈥檚 lots of support from the 亚洲天堂 Lake community. We鈥檙e still looking for volunteers to help on game days as well as billet families for players coming from out of town. There are currently around 13-14 players signed to join the 亚洲天堂 Lake Junior A Hockey Team and more to come.
