The Provo Predators 12U D1 team had a weekend of hockey (and fun!) in Boise. The Boise Jr Steelheads and Idaho Falls Eagle teams are both great competition for our 12U D1 team.

Talmage Anderson: “Honestly, it was really fun, but, you can’t let fun take over your pride. There is a time to be funny, and a time to be serious. This weekend was definitely a time to be serious. We would have fun in the hotel, but on the ice it is time to be serious!”

Calvin Watabe: “It was really fun, we went swimming a bunch and played cool games. We also played four hockey games, and we lost all of them, but three of them by only one goal, but it was pretty fun.”

Jack Smith: “It was fun playing those teams and the stadium we played in was really cool. They were really good teams and it was a good challenge.”

Please mark your calendar for Feb 23rd and 24th!

Lifetouch Sports photographers will be at the Peaks during practice times on those Wednesday and Thursday dates to take photos of individual players and teams.

More details will be posted next week.

COACH'S SPOTLIGHT: Tyler Firth

Coach for 6U

I started hockey when I was 3 years old because a close family friend had their son starting his first year as well. Over time I grew to love the game and hockey became more of a lifestyle rather than just a game to me. I grew up in St. Louis, Missouri and moved out to Utah to attend Utah State University where I played hockey for the Aggies. I became a coach for a lot of reasons. I started coaching Skyview High School hockey when I was still in college because I love the game and love to teach what I know to others. I have 3 kids who play hockey two of which are playing on the 6U team this year. This year coaching my own kids as well as their friends has been one of the most rewarding things I have ever done and am very grateful for the opportunity to still be so close to the game I love.
