Dylan Cozens wants to clear up a couple misconceptions about Whitehorse. Cozens learned hockey on his family’s backyard rink that would often stay frozen from November to March. What isn’t normal is a hockey player from north of the 60th parallel getting to where Cozens finds himself. Martin Lawrie, who coached Cozens (pronounced “cousins”) at various youth levels, said that while the passion was evident, Cozens didn’t dominate early on. Lawrie said the path Cozens cut for himself will give hockey players in northern communities a boost.
