In the News...

What a journey it has been for these two amazing young men! Ty Hipkin and Alex Izyk have grown up playing hockey together in High River, enjoying many years as much respected team mates with our Foothills Bisons, before moving on to AAA Bowmark Oilers. Now they share the ice together again in Fort McMurray playing for the Junior A Fort McMurray Oil Barons! And what is Ty Hipkin doing holding those two pucks you ask!? He is proudly displaying the game pucks from his first TWO goals with the team (unassisted), breaking a record that has stood since 1972 for the shortest time between goals; 6 seconds, now the third fastest time in AJHL history)! Its amazing to see their dedication and incredible work ethic pay off!
Congratulations Ty and Alex!! We could not be happier for you!

Congratulations to Ethan MacIntyre!
Even after Ethan moved on from Bisons to the AAA Oilers, he still came out to cheer on his team mates every chance he got these past few years. This even included hopping on the bus with us numerous times, to far away places like Medicine Hat and Taber. Your Foothills Bisons family could not be happier for you Ethan (don't worry, we'll look after Wyatt)!
Very best of luck in Ontario!
"Ethan is a strong forward that creates opportunities for himself and his line-mates," said Head Coach Jeremy Blumes. "His teammates feel a couple of inches taller and 10 pounds heavier when he's on the ice with them."

Congratulations to Sam Callahan!
Your future just keeps getting brighter!
Sam had this to say "When I was talking with the coach he really liked the way I play, I'm a bigger guy obviously, using my size and the way I win battles in the corners and in front of the net are the main things."

"One of the most easy going and likeable guys you will ever meet, and a great team mate" is what we say. Best of luck Sam!
