There91裸聊视频檚 no such thing as a Christmas break for hockey super fan Steven Guinther-Plank.

As usual, the Surrey man91裸聊视频檚 calendar is filled with plans to watch a number of minor games at local arenas, as December comes to a close and a new year begins.

91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檝e been invited to two tournaments that weekend (after Christmas) and a showcase, so it91裸聊视频檚 going to be a busy,91裸聊视频� Guinther-Plank explained with a wide smile.

He watches games 91裸聊视频渇ive to seven times91裸聊视频� a week, from peewee to junior league, Kamloops to Gibsons, but 91裸聊视频減robably double that91裸聊视频� during tournaments.

A fixture on the local hockey scene, Guinther-Plank is known for his jet engine-loud voice and sheer enthusiasm for cheering on everyone.

Seriously, ev-er-y-one.

91裸聊视频淕ood job all three officials 91裸聊视频� and scorekeeper and DJ, too!91裸聊视频� he yelled Monday night at Sungod Arena during a game between Bantam rep teams from North Delta and Langley visitors.

91裸聊视频淕ood job whoever got that goal!91裸聊视频� he hollered, moments after a reporter91裸聊视频檚 question distracted him from watching the home team score one, in a thrilling 4-3 win settled later, in the dying seconds.

Guinther-Plank91裸聊视频檚 green Jr. Steelers jersey, with 91裸聊视频淏roncos #1 Super Fan91裸聊视频� printed on the back, offers a clue about some of his motivation to watch so many hockey games in recent years.

91裸聊视频淚 watched the Beaver Valley Nitehawks (of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League) in my hometown, Fruitvale 91裸聊视频� near Trail, up there,91裸聊视频� he explained. 91裸聊视频淥ne of the players for that team, he was playing so good that he got called up by the Surrey Eagles, and then he got traded later, to the Humboldt Broncos, and he was one of the 16 (who died in a bus crash last spring).91裸聊视频� Jaxon Joseph, yeah. I got to know him just a little bit, just watching him play, just cheering him on in Beaver Valley. He played so good that he was only there until January (of 2016), when Surrey called him up.

91裸聊视频淭hat helps me motivate everybody out there,91裸聊视频� Guinther-Plank continued, 91裸聊视频渂ecause you never know when something like that can happen to anyone, right. And if you don91裸聊视频檛 cheer for that team before that, you kind of feel bad for it, so I just kind of, like, try to motivate everybody on the ice, including the officials.91裸聊视频�
