Can-Am Connection

found this on the AMS website, nice article about Jordan Messier and Nils Moser both being from Canmore. d'awwwwwwww

Messier, a 6-2, 193-pound second-year right-winger, says it’s been nice to share this year’s on-ice success with someone from his hometown.

“It’s been fun to be a part of this together,” said the 17-year-old, who, after establishing himself as a two-way player during his rookie campaign with the Americans, has brought his goal-scoring act to Tri-City this season, burying five goals in his last five games. “Nils and I joke around a lot in the dressing room… he’s just a fun guy to be around. It’s also nice having someone to talk to about home when we’re away from the rink.”

For a 16-year-old rookie having to make the transition from midget to major junior hockey, and becoming accustomed to the difficulties of life away from home, Moser says it’s been particularly welcoming to have a hometown acquaintance around to guide him in the right direction.

“It’s definitely been great to know someone from back home, especially being one of the younger guys on the team,” said Moser, who notched his first WHL goal in Friday’s 8-2 home win over the Vancouver Giants.

“It helped going to Notre Dame for a season, but it’s the guys that have been through this before, like Jordan, that have helped me the most.”
