Reinhart WHL & CHL Player of the Week

The Western Hockey League announced today that Kootenay Ice forward Sam Reinhart is the WHL & CHL Player of the Week for the week ending February 9, 2014.

Reinhart netted three goals and eight assists for 11 points to go with a +8 rating in three games over the past week, leading the Ice to three straight wins in that span.

On Tuesday, February 4th, Reinhart scored once and added four assists for a five-point effort while claiming 2nd Star honors in a 6-3 victory over the visiting Saskatoon Blades. On Friday, February 7th, Reinhart tallied a goal and two assists to lead the Ice to an 8-1 win over the Hurricanes in Lethbridge, AB. On Saturday, February 8th, he extended his point streak to 13 games with a goal and two assists while earning 1st Star honors in a 4-2 triumph over the visiting Hurricanes.

Reinhart, an 18-year-old from Vancouver, B.C., is in his third season in the WHL with the Kootenay Ice. He is currently tied for fourth in WHL scoring with 76 points in just 43 games. Selected by the Ice in the first round, 15th overall, in the 2010 WHL Bantam Draft, Reinhart has amassed 92 goals and 225 points in 186 career regular-season games. Reinhart, the 2011-12 WHL Rookie of the Year, is eligible for the 2014 NHL Draft.

Happy Kootenay ICE Fans (center) receive the first Sam Reinhart bobble head from (l-r) Tiffany Johnson (Kootenay ICE), EKFH Chair Brian Clifford, President Carolin Hockley (Kootenay ICE Fan Club), EKFH Directors Don MacMillan, Mark Dickson & Russ Colombo

Cranbrook, BC – This past weekend the East Kootenay Foundation for Health hosted a special Kootenay ICE “Sam Reinhart Bobble Head Night” as a way to show the community its gratitude for the continued outpouring of support to EKFH and its many different ICE fundraisers over the past decade.

With only 950 officially autographed Reinhart bobble heads available (yes, Sam took over 5 hours to complete the task), it made them a coveted item. Eager fans came out in numbers and lined up early to get their chance to take one home.

When the foundation and volunteers arrived to get everything in place a line had already started at 4:00 pm and yet it would be another 2 hours before the bobble heads would be handed out. By just after 7:00 pm the full complement of bobble heads was gone.

“It was incredibly difficult for our volunteers to have to turn away several fans who weren’t able to secure a bobble head,” explains EKFH’s Chair Brian Clifford. “As much as EKFH wished it could have given one to each and every person, it just wasn’t possible,” adds Clifford.

Just watching the smiles on the faces of those who did get a piece of ICE history was entertaining as young children skipped through the lobby with a box in their arms, and you could witness the gentle smiles of many fans who have been there from the hockey club’s beginning. One of the most enjoyable moments was to see and hear squeals of delight as those who thought they were out of luck receiving their Sam original.

But the most incredible result of the evening is the unrivalled generosity of fans that made an additional $750 in donations to EKFH bringing the total of the Sam Reinhart “Shoot for the Star” fundraiser to $6,063.63. The bobble head night was the last official event of the 2013 Starlite Campaign. The campaign officially closes with a final fundraising tally of $131,440.40.

EKFH wishes to recognize the assistance from members of the board and our volunteers ~ Brian & Trudy Clifford, Don MacMillan, Mark Dickson, Russ & Joy Colombo and Fran Lawrenow; from the Kootenay ICE Fan Club ~ President Carolin Hockley and volunteers Gary Cook & Merv Anderson; plus representatives from the Knights of Columbus #8631 ~ Rick Hoeg, Don Sharp, Paul Gaudet & Ken Bettin and Tiffany Johnson from the Kootenay ICE as well as many of their volunteers (ushers, security, staff members - so many that we may miss a name).

Thank you as well to the Shivers & Coyote Jack’s outlets and the City of Cranbrook for their patience when the lobby swelled up to overflowing. EKFH and the Kootenay ICE sincerely appreciated your understanding.

Most importantly, thank you to Sam Reinhart for allowing EKFH to utilize his persona. And to Sam and his teammates for making Saturday night’s game a winner. EKFH wishes continued success to both the team and Sam on future endeavours.
