didn't
take
long
and
he
was
skating
at
the
local

once
a
day
and
twice
if
he
could,
he
loved
to
play
hockey
at
the
rink
on
the
street.
Even
in
the
house.
His
love
of
hockey
and
countless
hours
of
skating
would
serve
him
well

in
April
2020.

This
kid
is
special.
You
can
imagine
how
excited
his
family
was
not

the
entire

people
throughout
the
Robson
Valley.
You
see,
Tanner
molendite
grew
up
in
McBride
and
the
arena
he
learned
to
skate
in
was
the
Robson
Valley
Recreation
Center
in
his
home
community
of
McBride
as
a
defenseman.
Tanner's
job
is
to
stop
people
from
scoring,
but
he
takes
every
opportunity.
He
has
to
put
points
on
the
board
as
well.

was
selected
to
play

team
won
the
gold
medal,
the
first
time
that
Canada
won
the
Medal

in
four
years

who
playoffs
are
underway
and
after
losing
the
first
three
games
in
their
second

a
historic
comeback,
winning
four
