From Craven, Sask. to Vancouver
The following article featuring former Dartmouth standout Tanner Glass appeared December 31 on the Vancouver Sun Web site.
They are called grinders, gritty, greasy, tough to play against and every team has some. These players usually play on the fourth line but if their scoring talent is as such, you may also see them on lines one through three.
Most of them make it to the grit line because they also know how
to duke it out, drop the gloves, grab a dance partner and have done
so since they can remember. Coming through minor hockey into junior
they were usually the biggest and if not, the most physical on the
team. Their role was to stand up for their team mates when the
occasion warranted it.
Tanner Glass was one of those grinder types, who came from a Saskatchewan village called Craven, of which he was one of the 230 people that called it home. Like a lot of small prairie villages, towns and cities, country music reigns and Craven was no different. In fact, it was host to the annual country music festival and appropriately named after the village, the "Craven Country Jamboree".
