16-year-old Zary has proven his worth in first half of season
KAMLOOPS — From the time Connor Zary stepped on the ice in the preseason, you could tell he was a special player, even at 16.
He’s only one of a handful of 16 year olds playing in the Western Hockey League this season.
“It’s pretty cool being here,” said Zary, who’s enjoying a road trip back home to Saskatchewan. “I’ve really loved every moment of it, and I’m not taking it for granted.”
Forty-one 16-year-old players are listed on WHL rosters, but only a few like Zary are regulars making an impact.
