The former forward describes that generation of Petes as possessing strong leadership, with guys that he wanted to learn from. “I enjoyed my three years in Peterborough thoroughly, it was a great developmental time for me as a young athlete and hockey player. Some great friendships, and most importantly I gained another family: Scott and Laurie Phillips and their sons Drew and Brad.”

Gaining billet dad Scott lent Liam an active support when the traditional insecurities of being a young player who is pushing to make the lineup lurked.

“Everyone struggles with new types of adversity you haven’t seen before. You go from being a player who is always called upon in minor to entering a new role and trying to get in the lineup. I was trying to get in the lineup my first and second year. I was really struggling with my confidence. My father and my billet father had recognized this and I was able to just chat with they and they were just so supportive.”

“I think from that I really learned a ton, specifically how to manage my own confidence.”

Atop these lessons assisted by his Petes family, Heelis has fond memories of walking into the dressing room to find water cups under guys’ helmets or taped up visors, the secret Santas and evenings spent in Jamie Doornbosch, Justin Larson and Chad Lowry’s basement, unable to describe the details of these stories without pausing to laugh.

Since his days at the Memorial Centre, Heelis’ time can be summarized as a transient academic pursuit in search of what makes the perfect coach.

After leaving the Petes, Liam spent his overage season with the Owen Sound Attack, capping his time in junior hockey with a J. Ross Robertson Cup. From here, he embarked on the early stages of becoming a full time student, attending Acadia University in Wolfeville.

I went out to Acadia and it was a really small, tight knit community. The athletics department was very cohesive, where athletes weren’t only hanging out with people on their own team, it was really special and it was something I wanted to be a part of.”

The mental and physical effort put in early while with the Petes didn’t go to waste, but rather manifested itself into substantial success for the Axemen. While at Acadia, Liam was voted AUS and CIS All-Canadian, won AUS men’s hockey MVP, and was named CIS men’s hockey player of the year in 2014. In addition to these individual achievements, Liam played a significant role in the red, white and blue’s first AUS championship win since 2006.

So you’re booked and confirmed for your winter sun getaway. The time is counting down to your trip and now you have the daunting task of packing your bags. To help you out we have a few tips and tricks to get you ready for some fun in the sun…or wherever you are going.

My best advice is to look for wrinkle free clothing. No one wants to mess around with a hotel iron while on vacation. Marlin Travel now offers cruise and resort wear for ladies with all wash and wear material handy for packing. Now the age old question, fold or roll? Well it is up to personal preference however I find that you can fit more in and clothes wrinkle less if you roll so I am definitely on team roll.

A new trend in travel accessories is travel cubes. You can find these online or at your local luggage store. I found that the packing cubes took up more room in my suitcase however were very handy for separating clothes, packing shoes and dividing dirty clothes Liam’s innate desire to analyze relationships between teammates and from clean. coaching staff - a mindset developed in junior hockey - made him a great fit Be sure to have a travel checklist to make sure for the Acadian psychology program.
