Featured

Mikey DiPietro is a familiar name to Canucks’ fans. He is a star between the pipes for the Abbotsford Canucks and has “future NHL starting goalie” written all over him. However, despite his superhero status on the ice, the 22-year-old netminder is a very relatable figure to so many of us off the ice. Cancer has impacted his life in a significant way and taken someone he loved dearly away from him far too early.

“My mom passed away from cancer in 2004 when I was only five years old,” said Mikey. “It started with breast cancer and then unfortunately spread throughout her whole body. She was a few weeks away from turning 39 when she passed on. She really made me feel loved as a little kid and as I get older, I really appreciate all that she sacrificed and what she was going through.”

The Windsor, ON product was five years old when he lost his mother, Rebecca, to cancer in 2004. Despite only being 38 years old, it was a long battle for Rebecca, dating back to the early days of her marriage to Mikey’s father, Vic. The love they had for one another was deep and the support shown by Vic to his wife and newborn son did not go unnoticed by Mikey.

![Mikey small.jpg](/uploads/Mikey_small_a4d3b5d13e.jpg "embed-right")
“My dad and mom got married in 1990,” said Mikey when asked about his parents’ relationship. “Throughout their entire marriage, she was battling cancer in and out and fortunately she was able to get pregnant in between. She was in remission in 1999 and that's when I was born.”

“My dad loved her so much and they really loved each other. My mom needed his support and then my dad would put on a brave face and come play with me in the living room. One day I hope I can find a love like that in my life.”

The bond between father and son is a tight one, but when one parent is forced to take on the role of two, the bond becomes that much closer. Even though Mikey was so young, Vic and Mikey relied on each other to get through the pain. 5-year-old Mikey obviously relied on his dad to support him and look after him, but Vic could also count on his son to make him smile after a long day at work.

“I have always said from day one, my dad is my best friend, and I'll keep saying that till the day I die,” said Mikey when asked about his connection with his father. “He's always been there for me. He is a blue-collar, hard-working man. And you know, he's somebody that has always found ways to get through hardships and stay positive in our lives together.”

“I think going through the loss of my mom brought us closer together. My dad has always kind of instilled in me that ‘life sucks sometimes, but you have to move forward because nobody's going feel bad for you.’ I call my dad every morning and he is my best friend.”

One of the most heart-wrenching aspects of losing a loved one is the realization that they won’t be present for your future critical life events. For most of us, that means someone important in your life will be missing from your wedding or won’t be there for the birth of your children. For Mikey, he has those same feelings and also knows his mother wasn’t afforded the opportunity to see all of his success on the ice leading up to his NHL debut with Vancouver in 2019.

“2004 was actually the year I first started playing hockey,” said Mikey. “She passed away in November of that year, so she only got to see me play a couple times. But the times she did see me play are still in my mind and it's definitely a main reason why I keep playing hockey today.” 

“Seeing what she was going through and how hard she was battling, how determined she was to come to the arena to watch me play. It inspired me to work hard in hockey and in life because I know how much energy she was using to make me happy.”

Italians are known around the world for two things: delicious food and deep family connections. Thankfully for Mikey, he has received plenty of love and support from not only his immediate family but also his extended family. His mother’s side of the family has stepped up to keep the memory of Rebecca alive.

“My grandmother on my mother's side is still alive and I’m very lucky to have her in my life,” said Mikey. “I’m also grateful to have my aunts, my uncles and my cousins on that side.”

“My memories of my mom unfortunately kind of fade because I was so young when she passed away. Obviously a few stick out, but I rely on my mom’s family to tell me stories about her and show me pictures.”

Thankfully, Mikey’s story has a happy ending. Vic remarried a few years after losing Rebecca, giving Mikey a new mom and a new brother to grow up with. Those two individuals have provided Mikey and Vic with love and support, helping them heal after suffering such a painful loss. Mikey describes his stepmom and brother as two of the most important people in his life.

“We were blessed for my dad to have met my mom, Assunta, now and my brother, Mark,” said Mikey. “I've got multiple moms in my life. I'm very blessed to be in that situation. I have a phenomenal mother at home who loves me and cares for me and I have a great brother.”

“And it’s been really awesome how my mom and brother have embraced my birth mom’s side of my family. It feels like I have one big family, which I love.”

It’s rare to find someone who’s life has not been impacted by cancer in some way. Whether it be a family member, a friend or yourself, cancer has touched so many of our lives. This is something we need to change. Hockey Fights Cancer is an opportunity to raise awareness, but also an opportunity to join the fight to end this awful disease. 

![Mikey 2.jpg](/uploads/Mikey_2_ba9f2c86e2.jpg "embed-right")
People like Rebecca DiPietro have suffered far too long. We need to come together as a global community to find a cure for a disease that has plagued us for generations. 38-year-old mothers should not be losing their lives and five-year-old sons should never have to grow up without their birth mother.

“My wish is that one day we don't have to deal with cancer anymore,” said Mikey. “Unfortunately, we aren’t there yet but I love having the opportunity to be part of Hockey Fights Cancer. This program not only raises awareness but also brings us together.” 

“On the ice, we fight to win but off the ice, we're fighting for one common goal. I think Hockey Fights Cancer is near and dear to everybody's hearts. My prayers and thoughts are with everybody who is battling cancer, beat cancer and those who have passed on.”

Mikey’s story is inspirational and the way his entire family has come together to support him would make his mom proud. His experiences shaped him into the man he is today, which is a man of great character, generosity and maturity. Even if he had never put on a pair of skates, any parent would be proud to call someone like Mikey DiPietro their son.

“Cancer took a lot away from me,” said Mikey on the impact cancer has had on his life. “Not a day goes by without me thinking of my mom and I will always miss her. But I have to find ways to keep moving forward because I know she would want me to be happy.”

“It makes me feel better to know that every time I’m in net, my mom is watching me from the best seat in the house.”

Mikey and the rest of the Abby Canucks will battle the Ontario Reign on Tuesday, November 30th at Abbotsford Centre. This will be the Canucks’ Hockey Fights Cancer game and it promises to be a special night for all in attendance.

**RECORDS ARE MEANT TO BE BROKEN**


The Abbotsford Canucks established a new franchise record for goals in a game when they lit the lamp seven times against the San Jose Barracuda during their 7-1 victory on Nov. 12 at Abbotsford Centre. Sheldon Rempal (2-0-2) led the way by scoring a pair of goals in the decisive win. Prior to Nov. 12, the Canucks had never recorded more than three goals in a single game.

Additionally, Sheldon Dries (1-3-4) and Phil Di Giuseppe (0-4-4) set new franchise records for individual points scored for a single game with four each. Di Giuseppe’s four helpers are a franchise high for assists in a single game.



**DANGEROUS DRIES** 


Sheldon Dries has been the most productive player in the Abby lineup throughout the season. The Western Michigan alum is tied for 34th in the league with 14 points (7-7-14) through 12 games. His seven goals lead the team, and his six assists are tied for the third highest tally. Offence has been hard to come by for Abbotsford through their first 13 games, but the problems scoring goals have had nothing to do with the play of Dries.

Not only has Dries been productive on the offensive end, but he has also been a key figure on the penalty kill and defence. Sheldon is 12th in the league with a +7, which suggests that he has been a very reliable defensive forward for Abbotsford.



**A REMPAL IN TIME**

Sheldon Rempal has gotten off to a fast start in 2021.22 with the Abbotsford Canucks. The former BCHL star has recorded 10 points (3-7-10) through 13 games with the Abby Canucks. Rempal’s seven assists second on the team, and he has scored all three of his goals in the last four games.

Additionally, Rempal has been a valuable defensive forward for the club. Seeing minutes in key defensive situations, including on the penalty kill, Rempal has registered a +6 so far this season. 



**JETT FUEL** 


Jett Woo had a bit of a turbulent take off to his season. Through the first nine games of the season, Woo had a total of 0 points. That changed in a big way during the Canucks’ 7-1 win over San Jose on Nov. 12. Since then, the 21-year-old Winnipeg, MB product has put up five points (1-4-5), including his first goal of the campaign. 



**DI GIUSEPPE PIZZA DELIVERIES** 


The veteran winger has been a steadying force for the Abby Canucks in 2021. Phil Di Giuseppe enters Tuesday’s game against the Reign with a team leading eight assists. His 10 points rank second on the team and his +2 is tied for third on the club. The University of Michigan alum has great chemistry with his line mates Sheldon Dries and Sheldon Rempal, and fans can expect more points from this potent line this week against the Reign.


**LOCKWOOD CATCHES FIRE** 


Will Lockwood has been a man among boys since retruning from an early season injury. The University of Michigan alum has registered a point in four consecutive games (2-2-4) and his speed has made a difference at both ends of the ice for Abby. 




**THE GREAT WALL OF DIPIETRO** 


Michael DiPietro has been very reliable for the Canucks during his past four starts. The 23-year-old former Windsor Spitfire has allowed a total of 10 goals in his past four outings. Even more impressive, DiPietro has stopped 133 of the 143 shots he has faced. That translates to a .930 save percentage. The Canucks have gone 1-2-0-1 in the four starts, but Mikey has given Abbotsford a chance to win all four games. Mikey is clearly seeing the puck extremely well right now, and that is good news for Abby fans.




**FREE HOCKEY LOVERS** 


The Abbotsford Canucks and Ontario reign love to play hockey, so much so in fact that they prefer to play beyond the required 60 minutes. Three of Abby’s four games against Ontario this season have gone to overtime and one game went to a shootout. The Canucks are (0-2-1-0) in overtime games vs the Reign. 



**FAMILIAR FACES IN NEW PLACES** 


The Abbotsford Canucks feature a trio of Ontario Reign alums. Sheldon Rempal spent two seasons with Ontario in 2018.19 and 2019.20. Rempal had 19 goals and 42 assists for a total of 61 points through 115 regular season games with the Reign. 


Cameron Schilling suited up in 32 games with the Reign during the 2016.17 season. The Carmel, IN product produced nine points (1-8-9) in the regular season and an additional two points (0-2-0) through five postseason games with Ontario. 


Vincent Arseneau played in 17 games with the Reign when they were a member of the ECHL in 2014.15. The bruising forward had two points (1-1-2) and 62 penalty minutes for Ontario.

recap

The Abbotsford Canucks (7-6-2-1) picked up a huge two points on Wednesday night, beating the Ontario Reign (11-5-0-1) 5-4 in a thriller at Abbotsford Centre. The Reign took an early 2-0 lead but the Canucks rallied and fought their way back into the game. This was the second win in a row for the Canucks against the Reign, and Abby is once again over .500 this season.

It felt like deja vu for the Abby Canucks on Wednesday night, as for the second consecutive game the Ontario Reign took a 1-0 lead just over a minute after the puck dropped in the opening period. Tyler Madden scored what will never be described as a “pretty goal”. Martin Frk and Bobby Russell had the assists on the play for the Reign.

Ontario’s powerplay was on fire tonight and Frk doubled the Reign lead at the 6:40 mark of the first period with the man advantage. Jaret Anderson-Dolan and T.J. Tynan added helpers on the goal to give the Reign a 2-0 lead.

Sheldon Dries made it a 2-1 game at the 14:51 mark of the first period following a pair of sweet passes from Phil Di Giuseppe and Sheldon Rempal. Di Giuseppe’s feed was perfect as he found Dries on a cross crease feed before Dries finished the job.

Rempal tied the game for the Canucks at the 18:38 mark. The former Ontario Reign winger dispossessed Austin Strand in the corner, then waltzed out towards Reign goalie, Garrett Sparks, and sniped a shot that found twine. It was a fantastic goal and gave Abby the momentum heading into the second period.

The Canucks dominated the second period, outshooting the Reign 18-6. However, despite constant offensive pressure from the Canucks, Ontario broke through first when Samuel Fagemo found the back of the net on the powerplay. Gabriel Vilardi and Helge Grans assisted on the play.

Sheldon Dries recorded his second goal of the night at the 18:42 mark of the second period to knot the game at 3 goals each. The goal came on the powerplay after a Jack Rathbone slapshot deflected off Dries and trickled past Sparks. The Western Michigan product is so hot right now that even when he doesn’t try to, he scores a goal for Abby. Rathbone and Nic Petan had the helpers for Dries’ ninth goal of the campaign.

Tristen Nielsen gave the home side a 4-3 lead after he scored a gorgeous breakaway goal, pulled a sweet dangle and slid it past a sprawled-out Sparks. The goal was the former Vancouver Giants’ star’s first of his AHL career and it was a highlight reel worthy play by the 21-year-old. A lead pass from Petan sprung Nielsen and his speed took over from there as he blew past the Ontario defence. Rathbone got the other assist for Abby on the play.

“I saw the puck scrambled out and Petey put the puck right on my stick,” said Nielsen. “From there I had a step on the d-man and took it to the net. I try that move a lot in practice, so it was nice to have it work in a game. I was watching the puck rolling and then once I hit the wall I lost sight of it. I was a little nervous there but then saw that the ref signalled goal. It was a great feeling.”

The Reign tied the game at the 10:47 mark of the final frame when Vilardi jammed a puck past Abby goalie Spencer Martin. 

With the score tied and the game on the line, Abby once again turned to their leading scorer, Sheldon Dries. End to end goals are not common in the professional ranks, but that is exactly what fans were treated to tonight. Dries collected the puck in his own end and did not relinquish it until it was sitting in the back of the net. To top it off, Dries deked out Sparks parking it top shelf for the highlight reel goal.

 “I was telling the guys, I haven’t done an end to end like that since youth hockey,” joked Dries postgame. “It felt good to get the hat-trick, but it felt better to get the win. That last goal was quite the contrast to my second goal, one goes off the foot and in and the next one I showed the little bit of skill I had.”

Despite the Reign ramping up the pressure, the Canucks were able to hold on to their slim lead for a 5-4 win. It was their second win in a row and third this season against the Reign. The two Sheldon’s came out for curtain calls post game, as Dries was the first star and Rempal took home the silver.

“It was a huge win for our team,” said Jack Rathbone to reporters on Wednesday. “Coming out of Tucson, we were pretty excited to come home and beat a team like Ontario. That was big for a little bit of momentum as we head into the San Jose games this weekend.” 

After playing each other six times through the first two months of the AHL season, the Abby Canucks and Ontario Reign appear to have developed a bit of a rivalry. All six games have been competitive and four of the six games have been decided by a single goal. There is also a noticeable uptick in intensity for the Canucks when they see the Reign starring back at them.

“There is definitely a rivalry developing between us,” said Dries on the intensity of the past two games. “That’s a good team over there. We know we are going to get their best every game. Their lineup is very skilled and they are a determined team out there. We like the way we match up though.”

You had to have the name “Sheldon” to be allowed to score for the Canucks during the first two period in this one. The two Sheldon’s combined to tally five points in the victory including four of the Canucks’ five goals. It was clear that the Abby offence ran through these two on Wednesday night.

“100% confidence is important,” said Dries post game. “During my career I’ve been down in the dumps and I’ve been to moon. It’s all about keeping it even, keeping it flowing and then seeing where that takes us.”

Fresh off two huge wins over the Reign, the Abbotsford Canucks (7-6-2-1) will play host to the San Jose Barracuda (5-8-1-0) in a weekend set starting Saturday at Abbotsford Arena. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 pm and the game will be the inaugural Teddy Bear Toss for the Canucks. Abbotsford enters the game with 17 points and the Barracuda are the cellar dwellers of the Pacific Division with 11 points.

The Abbotsford Canucks (7-6-2-1) picked up a huge two points on Wednesday night, beating the Ontario Reign (11-5-0-1) 5-4 in a thriller at Abbotsford Centre.

Abbotsford Canucks First Intermission Teddy Bear Toss for Toys for Tots

The Abbotsford Canucks (6-6-2-1) bested the Ontario Reign (11-3-0-1), 3-2 on Tuesday night at Abbotsford Centre. The Canucks were clearly the better team, outshooting the Reign 26 to 23 and dominating the pace of play. It was truly a team win tonight, as six different players recorded at least one point and every Canucks’ skater had a quality showing in the victory. 

The Ontario Reign opened the scoring tonight, getting an early 1-0 lead thanks to a nifty play by Adam Johnson. The Reign forward received the puck in front of the net and pulled the string on Abby tender Mikey DiPietro, beating him five-hole for his first goal of the season. T.J. Tynan and Gabriel Vilardi pitched in with assists on the play.

Nic Petan was a sparkplug for the home side all night and he got the Canucks on the board, tying the game at 1 at the 7:25 mark of the first period. Petan pounced on a rebound from a Vincent Arseneau point shot, burying it between the legs of Reign goalie, Matthew Villalta. Arseneau and Jett Woo both registered assists on the play.

“What Nic brings is a composure with the puck,” said Canucks’ head coach Trent Cull. “He brings a calmness and a savviness to our team offensively and gives us confidence.” 

The Abby Canucks added to their lead in the second period thanks to a beautiful play from Sheldon Rempal and Phil Di Giuseppe. Rempal hit a streaking Di Giuseppe perfectly in stride as he entered the attacking zone, and Di Giuseppe did the rest. The 28-year-old Toronto product undressed Villalta with a gorgeous deke, then shot from it between his legs past the outstretched blocker of the goalie.

“What a pass and what a nice goal,” said Cull postgame. “I thought it was a really good pass by Sheldon Rempal.”

“It was a move in my arsenal, and I decided to pull it out,” joked Di Giuseppe. “I just remember shooting up the ice and didn’t have much time to think. I had my stick on the ice and I wasn’t sure the puck was going to get to me. That pass was really the highlight of the play, it’s a saucer pass probably 30 feet.”

Rempal got in the fun with a goal of his own coming on the powerplay at the 15:49 mark of the second period. The former Ontario Reign winger has now scored four goals this season for the Abby Canucks. Petan registered his second point of the night with a beautiful cross ice pass and Jack Rathbone made an appearance on the scoresheet with a helper.

The Reign managed to shrink the Canucks’ lead to a single goal but that’s as close as they could get. Alex Tucotte got the goal, but it was too little too late for the visitors tonight.

“We knew we had a tall challenge with the Reign, that’s a pretty good team over there,” said Cull. “I liked how we started, stayed resilient and battled back, and did a good job. I think specialty teams were good too.”

The highlight of the night was Di Giuseppe’s remarkable between the legs goal. Scoring a goal on a breakaway is always something that catches fans attention, but to do it with such pizazz and with such a beautiful feed from Rempal, made it arguably the most memorable goal of the season for Abby fans.

“I just grabbed the puck off the wall and had some time with it,” said Rempal postgame. “I saw Phil beat their defenceman with some speed. I saw there were two sticks there and I tried to get it over them. Thankfully it landed on his tape and you can’t get a better finish than that.”

Mikey DiPietro stumbled during his previous outing against Tucson, but he returned to his typically exceptional form during tonight’s 3-2 victory. He made numerous saves on odd man rushes and breakaways to secure the important win for the Canucks. Not even an errant elbow to the head from a Reign player late in the game was enough to slow the Abby goaltender down.

“I thought Mikey was really good,” said Cull when speaking to reporters postgame. “We got hemmed in there a little bit there in the second period and I thought he made some really big saves for us. Really good to see him back to form, so to speak.”

Tonight’s win was critically important for the Canucks. Fresh off a two-game skid and facing the Pacific Division leaders, Ontario Reign, this was a must-win for the home side. Not only did the team need a victory, but the entire community of Abbotsford was in need of something positive to cheer about. It was nice to see so many smiling faces out in the crowd tonight.

“It was the biggest win of the season,” said Rempal. “We were desperate for a win and the guys really came to play. I think our whole lineup really dug deep. It’s a lot more fun when you’re winning. We needed this one for sure, and hopefully we get another one tomorrow.”

The Abbotsford Canucks (6-6-2-1) will be back in action tomorrow night against the Ontario Reign (11-3-0-1). Puck drop is scheduled for 7:00 pm at Abbotsford Centre. The Canucks are the first team this season to snag two wins against the Reign and they will hope to add to that number tomorrow. Tickets are still available to watch the Canucks battle Ontario on Wednesday night.
