Residents of Kimberley, B.C., were ecstatic last month when they heard that their fledgling junior hockey team was going to receive a whopping $7.5-million donation from a Calgary benefactor. “Everybody is in a very cautionary stance right now,” said Don McCormick, the mayor of the city in southeastern British Columbia. “This is an opportunity for me to publicly thank the community where I grew up, to pay it forward,” he told the Kimberley Bulletin. “Hockey is everything to me.”Gould told Cranbrook, B.C., country radio station CHBZ his late mother would have been in the arena to support him. There is no record of a Mike Gould from Canada among the public winners.
