The Carter Kosick Memorial Society

Just like Carter would make friends wherever he went he continues to bring people together. Tonight a friend from Salmon Arm ended up at the Liard River Hotsprings at the same time good friends from Fort St John were visiting. A random meeting that may have ended in simple hello turned into a hour long fireside conversation because both were wearing their CK shirts. We absolutely love hearing stories like this and love how a simple shirt or hat is bringing people together and making random friendships in random places all while supporting the society.

This past week SD60 once again hosted Project Heavy Duty in Fort St John. We were able to offer 2 Bursaries to two outstanding individuals that showed great operator abilities as chosen by their foreman. The bursaries are eligible to help further their education or fund work related items such as PPE to help them get a jump start into their selected fields. Congratulations to Eve Infeld and Hudson Jansen and also a big thank you to Kathy Wolsey for presenting on behalf of the society. https://www.prn.bc.ca/programs/project-heavy-duty/

Thank you to David Alexander and the NEBC Chill organization for honouring Carter with an award in his memory. Good times and good memories from Carters youth. Congratulations Walker on receiving this award.

NEBC Chill Hockey Club is proud to announce the recipient of our 1st annual Carter Kosick Memorial Award — Walker Huhn.

This award was presented to a player who represents the game of hockey both on and off the ice and enjoys the comradery as much as he loves the game. Carter’s character inspired his teammates, his work ethic drove his successes and his leadership elevated his team.

Walker exemplifies all of these characteristics and we are honoured to recognize him as the first recipient of this memorial award.

Congratulations, Walker Huhn
