Haden gives new meaning to electrifying off-season
MEDICINE HAT, AB — Last summer, Gary Haden took up kickboxing to better prepare him for the 2017-18 season.

“My parents finally told me to get a real job,” The Airdrie-product said with a smile. “I worked at a golf course which was lots of fun for about three years.”
