Hockey star @drydenhunt was born in Cranbrook and

Hockey star @drydenhunt was born in Cranbrook and raised in Nelson and like many other Kootenay youth, he had dreams of playing in the NHL. He went through the junior leagues and did well but when it came time to showcase for the recruiters, it didn’t go according to plan. Things were looking grim until… hat trick after hat trick after hat trick!

We share his story in our "Young Dreamers" episode, which you can find at headwaterspodcast.com or wherever you stream your podcasts.

Meet the man who competed Alone. In the History C

Meet the man who competed Alone.

In the History Channel's hit show "Alone," 10 people are left in solitude in the remote wilderness. With no camera crews or producers, they have to survive using only what they can stuff into a backpack. They hunt, build shelters and fend off predators as they face extreme isolation, psychological distress and the terrifying plunge into the unknown.

Canal Flats resident @gregovensofficial was on Season 3 of the show and he survived without human contact for over seven weeks before hypothermia caught up with him in the remote wilds of Patagonia, Argentina.

@jeffpew recently met with Greg to learn some survival tricks and he will be sharing his story in the upcoming season of the podcast.
