The teenager from the small municipality of Ripley near the shores of Lake Huron in southwestern Ontario has higher credentials than the National Hall of Fame and Canadian Hall of Fame outfielder, however, when it comes to the art of stopping pucks.
Smith, who is off to Bryant and Stratton College in Akron, Ohio this summer to pitch and play the outfield for the NJCAA Division 2 Bobcats, put a rather tidy bow on his minor hockey career in late March by backstopping the Huron-Bruce Blizzard to the Ontario Minor Hockey Association under-18 Tier 2 championship in Halton Hills, Ont. “
