his grand father built the rink in smithers it was an old airport hanger from terrace him and a crew he got together dismantled it ,brought it to smithers and put it back together its still there still used. dan hamhuise contributed money and helped with the fund raising to get the second rink built. the old rink is known for its hard ice really good old rink to play in. I played a partial season there ,got a little knocked around up there ,they have been playin good hockey in smithers for a long time. The hamhuise family has been connected to hockey in smithers since the start . dan is a lot like his grand father ,easy going ,very polite, A highly respected family.

good for a really great guy. my first recollection of dan was seeing him and a friend sitting outside the fence at the number 3 green of the smithers golf course, selling golf balls to golfers that they had found. i could see them from my kitchen window.
there are a group of homeless people, mostly native that lived out in the bush. dan, bought up a number of blankets and winter coats and went in and gave them to these people.
i played ball against marty, his dad. super athlete.
