Read More“Tanner Smith (Ripley, Ont.) has an awful lot of kilometres to cover for entering the same sacred space Larry Walker occupied as one of Canada’s most-decorated sandlot stars.
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.
