CONNER lukan 21 YEARS OLD, SLAVE LAKE, ALTA.

AFTER THREE YEARS IN the Alberta Junior League, Lukan was traded to the Broncos this season and billeted with Garinger, who would relish the opportunity to wait up after games and talk to him when he got home. “He was appreciative for everything, it didn’t matter what,” Garinger said. “It was, ‘Thank you, thank you, thank you.’ He was a superstar on the ice and a superstar off the ice, no question.” In a playoff game, he blocked five shots while killing a penalty. “He would do anything for Kevin and (wife Kathy),” MacLean said. “That kid you want representing your community.”
