Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthay to Honoured Member Sean Whyte from Sudbury!

Sean has played Professional and Junior Ice Hockey for over 15 years, as well as 6 seasons of Professional Roller hockey. During his career, he has amassed over 1032 games, 339 goals, 530 assists, 869 points and 1442 minutes in penalties. He has won 4 League Championships and 1 World Championship Gold Medal for Team Canada.

Sean was drafted by the Los Angeles Kings in 1989 and played with them during the seasons of 1991-92 and 1992-93. While in their farm system with the Phoenix Roadrunners, he led his team in scoring one year and also made the IHL All-Star Team. When the Roadrunners folded in 1996, the fans voted Sean to the All-Time Roadrunner All-Star Team as top Right Winger. As well as playing for other teams across the continent, Sean finished his career back in Phoenix with the Mustangs for the last four seasons. During this time, he also had the responsibilities of Assistant Coach, and in 2000, his team won the WCHL League Championship.

For the past 16 years, Sean has been involved in instructing and coaching young hockey players. He has worked for well-known hockey schools such as Can/Am, Huron, and Hawkesbury. Sean owns and runs his own hockey school in Canada, called Northern Edge Hockey School. He has run many other schools, clinics, and private lessons throughout the US and Canada in both ice hockey and roller hockey.

Sean states, "I take great pride in developing young hockey players. The most important aspect to remember when playing hockey is to have fun. My philosophy is, and has always been, to work hard and have fun. People who enjoy what they do, will naturally work their hardest."
