Athlete of the day March 6, 2013: Corbin Litchfield

Corbin Litchfield

Hockey
Defenceman Corbin Litchfield is currently a member of Pincher Creek's Atom 2 Chinooks hockey team. "I've been playing since I was 4 years old," he explained. His favourite game of the season was "When we beat Warner most recently".


Atom 2 Coach Kayne Evans has been very pleased with Corbin's efforts. "Corbin is a player who comes to play every day, whether it be practice or games he always gives 100%," said Evans. "He is one of our top shutdown defenseman and always does his best to help his team win. In our last game he was so sick he couldn't even speak but still went out and had a great game!"

Judo

According to local Judo Coach Jennifer Parker "Corbin Litchfield has been a judoka (member of the Barracuda Judo Club) since September. He works hard at practice and demonstrates the true spirit of judo: to never give up. Corbin was recently awarded his yellow belt. After class, Corbin helps clean up the dojo at Monster Fitness by putting mats away, even though he has to rush off to hockey!"
