HAWES - PAYNE - PLESKACH - UPDATE

The Selkirk Steelers are extremely pleased to announce that Steelers alumni Adam Pleskach, Russ Payne and Blair Hawes have all come to terms with new hockey programs for the 2009/10 season. Adam Pleskach has committed to a scholarship at (AIC) American International College Yellow Jackets NCAA Division 1. Pleskach joins former Winkler Flyer Josh Froese. American International College plays in the Atlantic Hockey conference. Russ Payne has accepted a scholarship, and will be joining former Selkirk Steeler Matt Stengl and Portage Terrier Jeremy Dawes at St. Scholastica University NCAA Division 3. Blair Hawes has signed a professional contract to play for the Laredo Bucks of the Central Hockey League (CHL). Former Selkirk Steeler Hans Benson played for the Bucks prior to moving onto the American Hockey League. The Selkirk Steelers are sure that these young men will excel in their new hockey/school programs and we wish them all the best in the future.

Who cares?

I imagine any parent would who has to foot the bill for an education. Not a Steeler fan but good for you guys - makes the MJHL look better all the time.

Haven't seen a more deserving line come out in quite a while. It would have been a black eye to the league and Selkirk's program if any one of the three had missed continuing their carreer. All are local and all played every one of their Jr games in Selkirk.

Congrats to Payne,Pleskach, and Hawes. All 3 are well deserving of their latest accomplishments. Great hockey players,very classy guys, and above all 3 great individuals. Do the Steelers and the MJ proud !!

Good thread, well said, good luck gentlemen - keep in touch thru your station, love to hear your progress!
