The High River Flyers will pay tribute to long time NHL Referee and High River's own Tom Kowal during their game Friday, January 27, against the Coaldale Copperheads.

Kowal worked his 1000th NHL game last week in Calgary and the Flyers want to show their appreciation by letting him drop the puck on a ceremonial face-off before the game.

Kowal, will stick around to chat with fans and sign autographs during the game.

In the meantime, the Flyers Davis Sheldon has been named the Heritage Junior "B" Hockey League player of the week for his four goals and an assist in the Flyers two wins over the Three Hills Thrashers this past weekend.
