Ice Wolves ready to welcome NHLers for Sportsman Dinner

Nov 10, 2021 | 5:28 PM

It will be an evening of entertainment as the Ice Wolves prepare to host former National Hockey League players, including two-time Stanley Cup champion Dwight King.

King, who will be joined by Steven MacIntyre in-person and professional hockey player Jon Mirasty via Zoom, will appear Nov. 20 for a Sportsman Dinner at the Lac La Ronge Indian Band’s Jonas Roberts Memorial Community Centre. The event was originally advertised to feature just King and Mirasty, both from Meadow Lake, but the former was unable to attend in-person due to his upcoming appearance on Shoresy, a spin-off to the award-winning TV series Letterkenny.

King was a member of the Los Angeles Kings when the team won the Stanley Cup in 2012 and 2014, while MacIntyre spent many seasons with the NHL, most recently as a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins.

“I think all three of these guys will have some good stories to tell,” Ice Wolves head coach Kevin Kaminski said. “It’s not easy. It’s a lot of hard work and a lot of discipline. These guys found ways to get there. I think it’s going to be an exciting evening.”

While at the event, King will talk about his life story, his progression through hockey, as well as teams and places along the way. He added part of the secret is to set goals, enjoy life and to surround yourself with people who only have good intentions.

“Personally, it was all I strived to do for the first 22 years of my life, so I was extremely thrilled and blessed to have that come to fruition so early, but as far as everybody else, it’s pretty common in any Canadian town or city to strive to reach the pinnacle of whatever your interest is,” King said.

King also mentioned it was Mirasty who invited him to appear at the Sportsman Dinner, noting Mirasty has a reputation for being a good role model for First Nations youth and someone who worked hard to establish a career in hockey.

Tickets can be purchased online here or from any Ice Wolves board member by Nov. 12. The event will begin at 6 p.m. and proof of vaccination will be required.
