Local hockey product Kris Versteeg enters Lethbridge Sports Hall of Fame

It was a good turnout Friday night for the Lethbridge Sports Hall of Fame’s induction ceremony at the Trade & Convention Centre.

Seven new entries were added into the hall including former Lethbridge Hurricane and Chicago Blackhawk Kris Versteeg who remembers playing hockey at a young age.

“I used to play for my church team up until about seven years old, but first real memory is actually when I got into a bit of a fight in the corner,” Versteeg recalls.

“My grandpa had to pull me off someone with an open skate, so, I think from there, they realized I was a hockey player.”
