January has been a busy and difficult month for the Canmore Eagles. Despite their 2-11 record there were a few bright spots including the return of Ryley Risling. With 14 points (5 G, 9 A), the 19-year-old forward is the Mountain FM Player of the Month for January.

I spoke with Ryley about where he was for the first half of the season and why he came back.  He’s also positive the team can turn things around with about a month left in the regular season.

Congratulations Ryley!  Fans can catch the Eagles back on home ice for a pair of games on the Family Day long weekend, Saturday the 13th against the Calgary Canucks at 7 PM and Monday the 15th at 2 PM against the Calgary Mustangs.
