Profiling Garet Hunt

When it finally came time to play in juniors at age 15, it was a dream come true for Hunt that he got to play for the team he loved growing up, the Chiefs. Coach Harvey Smyl played a big role in Hunt’s early development as a player. He then moved on to play with the Vancouver Giants, under the leadership of Don Hay who molded Hunt into the player he is today.

“Even now, when things aren’t going the right way I try to think of what he would be saying to me, or what he would do or how he would be coaching. I even try to use that in my leadership role with the team. Not only was he a great coach he was a great leader. He was a huge inspiration to me and I wouldn’t be where I am today without having him coaching me and developing me.”
