There is that inevitable time during a junior hockey career when a young man must assume a larger, more significant responsibility. In Chase Lang’s case, that time is now.
The Calgary Hitmen put a capper on their training camp on Tuesday at the Don Hartman Sportsplex with their annual Black versus White intra-squad game, Team Black eking out a 6-5 victory. Lang contributed with a goal and an assist and earned kudos from his head coach, who is expecting big things this season from the soon-to-turn 17-year-old.
“I’m definitely very eager,†admitted the 6-foot winger. “Coming from last year, I wasn’t getting a lot of ice time. But getting a bigger role on the team would definitely mean a lot to me. Just keep working hard and earn my spot.
“I definitely have a lot more experience. I picked up from what (the veterans) taught me; keep working hard over the summer and come to camp ready.†- Chase-ing down a dream (September 2013)
Chase Lang is doing his best to ignore the enormity of this season.
As a 17-year-old Western Hockey League player, the NHL draft is always looming at the end of the campaign.
But the Nanaimo product is more concerned about carving out a bigger role as a two-way centre with the Calgary Hitmen with their season starting tonight in Edmonton against the provincial rival Oil Kings.
"I'm just trying to work my way up in the lineup and prove to the coaches that I deserve some ice time and just show them what I can do and do the best job that I can," he said.
