Selects
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  Congratulations go
to Karlen Dillman for being Select "Player of
the Month" for October 08. Karlen has a
great team attitude. He is the starting goalie for the U15
Boys Wolves. He shares the position with his team-mate who
also likes to play in goal. He cheers on his counter part in
goal when he is not. He will fill any position on the field
when asked. Last Sunday he came with in a whisker of winning
our 0 - 0 game vs. Nanaimo when playing forward. Karlen was on
a break away and touched the ball past the goalie; how the
Nanaimo player got back just in time to tip the ball wide will
never be known; he came from nowhere. Karlen's first concern
is always the team and always gives 110 %. Karlen's coach
Steve Betts views him as a complete team player.
