| with Michael O’Rafferty |
I’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate the 2012 AJHL Rookie of the Year, on behalf of the OHS staff, past and present.
Anthony Petruzzelli,19, joined the Brooks Bandits after scoring an electrifying 101 points with the Helena Big Horns of the NORPAC league. He caught the eye of the Brooks Bandits and became a key contributor to their championship season.
Anthony’s ‘overnight success,’ has been years in the making. He spent most of his teen summers training and developing with the Okanagan Hockey School, while his friends and family stayed in Washington. Petruzzelli’s passion and work ethic will take him as far he wants to go.
All the best next season, Anthony!

Entering into our 50th summer Okanagan Hockey School is the longest running hockey school in the world. OHS currently has 18 full time hockey staff, with over 50 years of NHL experience. Here is your chance to take advantage of this wealth of hockey knowledge. OHS is looking for questions from you, our customers, that our staff can answer for you. We are looking to build a resource centre on our website that will provide customers with answers and suggestions on everything hockey and we thought that this would be a great place to start.
Whether you have a 4 year old or a 20 year old player we are looking for questions that are relevant to you and your son/daughter. How to fit a helmet correctly? How do I play a 2 on 1? What does the proper stride look like? What should I be eating to maximize my performance? How do I get to the NCAA? Any topic you want….it is your question.
