Henry Baer, 12, has been named Westmount\u2019s player of the month for November by the Westmount Minor Hockey Association. Playing on the city\u2019s M13A (under age 13) team, Henry started his hockey career with Westmount at age 5 in the M7 program.\u201cHe has developed into a fantastic player,\u201d said Andrew Maislin, operations manager at the Westmount recreation centre. In announcing the recognition, he said: \u201cSeeing him progress the way he has over the year is amazing.\u201d Henry was nominated by his coaches \u201cbased on his hard work, strong offence, defensive game and demonstration of leadership,\u201d Maislin explained. \u201cI noted during the evaluations back in September that he is stronger, faster and more aware of what is going on on the ice. During the drills, he would turn on his \u2018beast mode\u2019
and just take off.\u201d Although the team is struggling this year against very strong adversaries, he added that \u201cowing to strong coaching leadership and player dedication,\u201d the team had improved \u201ctremendously\u201d over the course of the first half of the season. \u201cI look forward to seeing where they end up in March.\u201d Having Henry part of the minor hockey organization \u201cis not only a moment of proudness but also a testament to the dedication of our families and players within our community to play sports.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
