Student Life after Life as a Student-Athlete: Mr. Pharmacy
November 14, 2016What does a student-athlete do when their playing career comes to an end? … This is a hard question that I was forced to ask myself this year as I moved to study Pharmacy at the University of Alberta. That brings me back to my question, I was kept up late many nights over the summer and the beginning of the semester thinking to myself “how am I going to fill this massive gap in my life that hockey used to occupy?”. I was confused with how I was going to use my time and make friends as playing competitive sports was all I knew from an early age. That is when I was given a fantastic opportunity to be a part of something greater than myself.

Ponich joins Vikings Hockey roster
August 30, 2016After almost a decade playing hockey in the States — first with the Portland Winterhawks in the WHL and then with various professional teams after being drafted by the St. Louis Blues in 2009 — Beaumont native Brett Ponich is excited to be coming back home to Alberta to play for the Augustana Vikings. Spending five years moving due to trades, Ponich said he's lived "basically everywhere you can imagine, from Springfield, MA, to Anchorage, AK, to Chicago. I've been in St. Louis and Columbus," he said, adding that while he's thankful for the opportunities he has had, he's also looking forward to playing hockey in one spot and the stability of school life.
