Holinaty’s new found confidence leads to success
Two years ago, 18-year-old Keaton Holinaty came to North Stars camp and was cut by coach Kevin Hasselberg.
Now, he’s lighting the lamp early and often for Battlefords in his final season of junior. He is currently second on the team in goals with 12 in 26 games.
“Yeah, had some bad blood here,” Holinaty chuckled after practice on Tuesday, recalling his first time trying out for the North Stars. “Then Kevin wanted me back here. Unfortunately he couldn’t coach me this year but Nate [Bedford] has been an awesome coach.”
Holinaty, a Hardisty, Alta. native, returned by way of a trade this past summer.
