The Cloverdale MHA contingent of the Fraser Valley Flames, featuring goalie Wesley Ellingsen, Malcolm Livingstone, Shaun Simpson and Jaron Peck – players who attend Clayton Heights and Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary schools – hoists the championship trophy from the 39th annual Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association’s Midget Scholarship Tournament, held Jan. 25-31.
Players are nominated by their club teams, and must fulfill a set of criteria to enter, including demonstrating grades, good sportsmanship, and hockey ability.
The Flames took on the Fraser Valley Oilers in the final, winning 4-3 in overtime play. Flames goalie Ellingson, pictured at far left, was named MVP.
He also plays for the Cloverdale Colts Midget AAA Tier 1 team, which has won its division title.
