Young Recruit

Normally professional hockey teams don't begin recruiting players who are not yet out of their teen years but, in this case the Ice Bears may already have their eye on a new young talent.

Corbin is a 6-year-old who goes to kindergarten at Ritta Elementary. In his first year playing the game, he helped his Mite Division team win the KAHA Season Championship.

You may have guessed by now that Corbin is the son of Ice Bears coach Scott Hillman. Corbin plays left wing for the silver bullets and he scored 2 goals in his team's championship victory. "yeah we were really proud of ourselves,” Corbin added.

Corbin and his brother Gunhar often practice after home games with assistant coach Marc Rodgers' boys Dalton and Garrett

It may seem early to be recruiting Corbin for a professional hockey club, but coaches can't risk letting the good ones slip away.
