MEDICINE HAT, AB — Every player remembers their first WHL goal.

Rarely are they as tenacious and highlight-reel-worthy as Corson Hopso’s gem from Sunday night.

The 17-year-old rookie for the Medicine Hat Tigers, playing his 11th career game, took a page out of Sidney Crosby’s playbook. He blocked a shot in his own zone, one-armed his way around a Calgary Hitmen defender, and knifed it over-top the goaltender with one hand to open the scoring.

Jubilation erupted from the Tigers bench, congratulating the Duncan, B.C. product on a remarkable effort.
