Peter McKellar was a 4th and then the coach Derek Laxdall (now with Idaho in the ECHL) was a former teammate or opponent in CP's junior hockey days in the MJHL.

Nathan Grobins was the goaltender the following year and he was one of my brother-in-law's best friends growing up in Houston, BC....my wife knew him well too, of course. He hadn't seen her in a dozen years or more and thought it was so weird they both ended up in Wichita at the same time.

The whole situation was pretty crazy when you think about it.
