Harrison shines on world ball hockey stage
Just mere days after setting a new Sask West Hockey League scoring record on the ice, Battlefords native and current Warman resident, Brock Harrison was on a plane to Puerto Plata of the Dominican Republic, swapping out his skates for running shoes, to represent Canada on the world ball hockey stage.
Donning the country’s iconic Maple Leaf at the 4-on-4 Ball Hockey World Championship, which officially kicked off Wednesday and will run until Sunday (Nov. 8-12), this marks already the third time in the last two years Harrison will play for his country on the international stage.
He was a key piece of Canada’s bronze medal win at last year’s Men’s Masters Championship in Kladno and Nové Strašecí, Czech Republic, leading the tournament in scoring with 19 points (five goals, 14 assists) in eight games.
In August of this year, he then followed up the performance with the Saskatchewan Mammoth at the 5-on-5 Worlds in Buffalo, NY. There, Harrison earned Top Forward honours, finishing just a point back of the tournament scoring lead with 15 points (three goals, 12 assists) in seven games, as the Mammoth finished just shy of the podium in fourth place, with a 3-1 loss to Greece in the bronze medal game.
