Hammond/Kehler/Calvano Audio

Salmon Arm Silverbacks' forward Mike Hammond has 24 points in 16 games since joining his new team. The 1990 born Victoria resident discusses responding to falling behind in the point's race, avoiding giving up a 20 point game, a great defensive system, and loving Salmon Arm.









Salmon Arm Silverbacks' General Manager & Head Coach Tim Kehler discusses a terrific defensive effort, celebrating Hammond's achievement, and how important second place is.









Coquitlam Express' Head Coach & Director of Hockey Operations Jon Calvano is in his first season with the organization after three years as the head coach of the BC Major Midget League's Vancouver Northwest Giants. In his three seasons the Giants finished first each year with a combined record of 98-13-9. This season the Express started off well with a 8-4-0-1 record but then faltered going 2-10-1-5. In their last 28 games Coquitlam's record is a little better at 11-14-0-3.

He discusses not selling off at the trade deadline, the difference coaching Junior compared to Midget, great seasons from Massimo Lamaccia/Destry Straight/Riley McIntosh, Khaleed Devji getting valuable experience this season, why it didn't work out with Brad Reid in Coquitlam, and what's on the line after clinching the 7th seed.
