Meaghan Mikkelson announces retirement from hockey

RED DEER – On October 29 at the NHL’s Heritage Classic, St. Albert’s Meaghan Mikkelson announced her retirement from hockey.

“To the little seven-year-old Meaghan with a dream, I am so proud of you. Today, nearly 32 years later, I am officially retiring from professional hockey,” Mikkelson said in a statement posted to social media.

“This chapter of my life has been nothing short of a dream come true, filled with unforgettable moments, hard-fought victories, and valuable lessons that have shaped me into the person I am today.”

The 38-year-old began playing hockey at the age of six in St. Albert and her career flourished from there. She played on all-boys teams until she received a full ride scholarship to the University of Wisconsin, where she played four seasons and helped the Badgers win back-to-back NCAA national championships before making her debut for Canada’s National Women’s Team.

Mikkelson went onto help Canada win back-to-back gold medals at the Olympic Winter Games in 2010 and 2014 while adding a silver medal in 2018. She also won gold twice at the Women’s World Championship in 2012 and 2022 and took home silver in 2008, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2016 and 2017. She earned Top Defence honours and was named to the media all-star team at the 2011 tournament. Mikkelson wore the Maple Leaf on four different occasions at the 4 Nations Cup, winning two gold medals in 2009 and 2010 and two silvers in 2008 and 2017.

“Winning three Olympic and eight World Championship medals with Team Canada has been the ultimate honour, and I’m grateful for every opportunity I’ve had to represent our amazing country on the international stage,” Mikkelson continued in her statement. “It is a privilege I will cherish forever.”

Professionally, Mikkelson won a Clarkston Cup as CWHL champion in 2016 as a member of the Calgary Inferno and an SDHL title in 2018 with Lulea. She also played four seasons in the Western Women’s Hockey League, suiting up for the Calgary Oval X-Treme, with whom she won the 2003 Esso Women’s Nationals, and the Edmonton Chimos.

With all her professional and international success, Mikkelson said playing her minor hockey and growing up in Alberta had a major impact on her career.

“Some of my greatest memories come from going to Zone 5 camps and trying out for Zone 5 to play in the Alberta Winter Games to experiences in the Alberta Winter Games and from there to making Team Alberta to play at the Canada Winter Games,” Mikkelson said.

“I know that if I didn’t have those experiences, I wouldn’t have made it to where I am today. I was scouted for Team Canada when I played at the Canada Winter Games, so I value not only my experiences in minor hockey, but my experience with Hockey Alberta as well.”

Prior to announcing her retirement, Mikkelson joined the broadcasting industry in 2020, serving as an intermission analyst for the Edmonton Oilers. She was recently announced as Sportsnet 960’s new radio colour commentator for the Calgary Flames.

In addition to her broadcasting duties, Mikkelson is completing her Master of Business Administration degree at the Smith School of Business at Queen’s University.

“Thank you all for being a part of my incredible journey,” Mikkelson said. “Here’s to new beginnings and keeping life’s lessons close.”

Team Alberta U16 Male brings home Silver from WHL Cup

RED DEER – After a hard-fought gold medal game against Team Manitoba, Team Alberta came away from the 2023 WHL Cup with a silver medal after a 6-5 shootout loss on Sunday, October 22.

The Albertans got off on the right note early in the contest when Patrick Sopiarz (Edmonton) opened the scoring with his third marker of the tournament 2:21 into the first period. The remainder of the period was a back-and-forth affair, as the two teams would trade off goals with Caelan Joudrey (Airdrie) potting Alberta’s second goal of the game to level the playing field at 2-2 after one.

The deadlock would only last 56 seconds into the second as Cruz Pavao (Calgary) found the back of the net with his third of the event to make it 3-2 in favour of Team Alberta. Midway through the second stanza, Manitoba broke the game open with three consecutive goals to turn a 3-2 deficit into a 5-3 lead heading into the final period.

Jordan Duguay (Edmonton) made it 5-4 six minutes into the third and Sopiarz tied the game at 5-5 with his second goal of the afternoon and fourth of the tournament. The game headed into a 10-minute overtime period, and while there were chances at both ends, neither team found the back of the net which pushed the championship game to a shootout.

The shootout went six rounds and while Pavao found the net on Alberta’s fifth attempt, Manitoba scored on their fifth and sixth tries to take a 6-5 victory and the gold medal.

Joudrey wrapped up his strong tournament with a goal and three assists in the final game, while Ty Meunier (St. Albert) chipped in with three assists. Goaltender Ryley Budd (Calgary) turned aside 29 of the 34 shots he faced throughout the game. Joudrey was tied for the team lead in points (8) with Meunier and Jordan Duguay, and goals (4) with Patrick Sopiarz. The trio of Joudrey, Duguay and Meunier were tied for third overall in tournament point leaders.

Alberta’s path to the gold medal game began on Wednesday, October 18 when they defeated Manitoba 4-2. The group followed up that performance with 3-2 loss to Saskatchewan and a convincing 8-1 victory over British Columbia to close out round robin play with a 2-1 record. Alberta would exact a measure of revenge on Team Saskatchewan in the semi-finals with a 7-3 victory that pushed them to the final against Manitoba.

How the WHL Cup helped paved the way for Sebastian Cossa

To say Sebastian Cossa has been part of some big games would be an understatement.

Cossa, who is now suiting up for the American Hockey League’s Grand Rapids Griffins, was part of the 2022 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship Gold Medal Game where Team Canada defeated Team Finland 3-2 in overtime.

He also played in multiple Western Hockey League playoff series during his final junior season which concluded with Cossa and his Edmonton Oil Kings teammates hoisting the Ed Chynoweth Cup after defeating the Seattle Thunderbirds in six games. He then played every minute for the Oil Kings that same spring when Edmonton went to the 2022 Memorial Cup in Saint John, NB.

But before he was backstopping his team to WHL glory or part of the group that helped return the gold medal to Canada, before he was drafted with the 15th overall selection in the 2021 NHL draft by the Detroit Red Wings, Cossa was part of the goaltending tandem for Team Alberta at the 2017 WHL Cup.

“Ah, the high stick goal that got us a silver medal,” said Cossa, when asked about what he remembers from that tournament.

Team Alberta went undefeated through the round robin, with Cossa splitting the netminding duties with Washington Capitals prospect Garin Bjorklund. Team Alberta earned a spot in the gold medal final against Team British Columbia, but lost 4-3 when BC’s Ben King deflected a high shot past Cossa. Team Alberta immediately called for the goal to be disallowed due to a high stick, but there wasn’t a review process so the call on the ice stood.

While the result of the tournament didn’t fall in the favour of Cossa and his teammates, it was an unbelievable experience.

“It was really fun and really competitive,” Cossa said. “Obviously the best players from BC, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Alberta all gathering at Winsport in Calgary. I have a lot of good memories from that tournament.”

“We had a strong round robin, fell a little bit short there in overtime against BC, but looking back at the rosters, there’s a lot of guys on both teams that are now playing professional hockey. That tournament overall over the years has had a lot of players get drafted to the NHL, a lot of first-round picks as well so playing with and against a lot of those guys was really good for me and my development.”

Cossa, who was originally born in Hamilton, ON, moved to Alberta at a young age. He played his minor hockey with the Fort McMurray Oil Barons as well as the Fort Saskatchewan Rangers, where he helped the U15 AAA Rangers win the provincial title in the 2016-17 season.

He said playing in the WHL Cup with so many other elite prospects really gave him the confidence that he could compete at the Western Hockey League level.

“That’s the highest level of competition I had played at to that date. It’s the best of the best from each province and there’s a couple of steps you have to go through in order to make Team Alberta,” Cossa said.

Cossa also had accolades for the volunteer coaches and Hockey Alberta staff for creating a solid program that ensures a positive experience for the participants.

“They’ve been doing it for a long time and have had a lot of players go through their program and make the NHL. They know what they’re doing, and it was a lot of fun to go through that process,” said Cossa.

The 2023 edition of the WHL Cup is set to get underway on Wednesday, October 18 when Team Alberta takes on Team Manitoba. Alberta will then take on Saskatchewan on Thursday and British Columbia on Friday. Semi-finals are Saturday, with the finals on Sunday.
