Just a quick update on something that happened while I was on holidays. Smokies defenceman Tyler Johns decided to quit hockey and become a police officer. Johns told Mountain FM's Jeff Sargeant that if he had continued to play he would've loved to play in Trail. The former Merritt player says he just wasn't as happy playing in the BCHL as he expected. Johns was part of the five player deal that brought Chad Gehon and Shane Oatway to the Smokies for Cam Brodie and Brad Davis. Johns says he hadn't informed Merritt of his decision before the trade was made. Jeff did interviews with Johns and Ingram on the issue. Just follow the links:- Tyler Johns on Mountain FM's Overtime (Part 1, Part 2)
- Jim Ingram on the Johns retirement (Part 1, Part 2)
In two BCHL seasons with Cowichan Valley and Merritt, Johns scored 5 goals, 21 points and had 91 minutes in penalties. Good luck in your new career, Tyler! We can always use more good cops.
