Cochrane steer wrestler wins second
Canadian Finals Rodeo title

Cochrane Eagle
Bromley Chamberlain/Athabasca Advocate
Got Him -Cochrane’s Tanner Milan reached for a
steer as older-brother Baillie hazed for him at the
Canadian Finals Rodeo matinee performance on
Nov. 8 at Edmonton’s Rexall Place.
It’s a long, dusty road that ends
in Edmonton.
But don’t tell Tanner Milan
it isn’t worth every ounce of
blood, sweat and tears he’s put
into a full Canadian Pro Rodeo
Association (CPRA) season to be
the 2014 national steer wrestling
champion.
The 31 year old Cochranite
prevailed at the 41st annual
Canadian Finals Rodeo (CFR)
in Alberta’s capital, winning his
second Canadian steer wrestling
championship in three years.
“It’s outstanding. I don’t even
know how to explain it right
now,” Milan said hours after
winning the title on the competition’s final day in Nov. 9. “I absolutely can’t believe it. I’m kind of
kiss for words.”
Riding Paul Guenthner’s CPRA
award-winning horse, Itzy, Milan
was up against it on the show’s
final day.
Needing a win in the sixth
(last) go, he put up his secondbest time of the week – a 3.5-second run that was best on the day
putting him over the top.
He won CFR Day 1 on Nov. 5
with a 3.4-second pass.
“Coming down today (Nov. 9),
I knew I had to win the round
and I needed some other stuff to
go in my favour. It happens I was
the last guy out today,” Milan
recalled. “Right before we rode
in, my brother Baillie slapped me
on the leg and said; ‘Tanner, you
go after it. You don’t back off.’”
“That’s what I did,” he added.
“I got a (heck) of a start and
made a good run, and everything
worked in my favour.”
Baillie Milan was Tanner’s
hazer all week at the CFR. As the
man tasked with keeping steers
on line for the catch, he did
his job perfectly, earning some
post-CFR refreshments on his
brother’s tab.
When the dust settled,
Tanner’s combined CFR and
CPRA season earnings totalled
$64,618.90, just ahead of
Neepawa, Manitoba’s Justin
Miller at $62,023.53.
“I was so set on winning it
this year and that’s what I was
practising for. I absolutely put
all my time into it,” Milan said.
“My mind was on winning first
up here this year.”
But, as in everything rodeo, it
didn’t come easy.
“I had some good runs and I
had some bobbles too, and it
was a battle right to the end”
Milan said.
“I put some pressure on and
then I’d mess up and someone
else would put some pressure
on and then it just kind of kept
switching back and forth like
that.”
“There’s always the ups and
downs,” he added. “But you just
have to ride out the high times
and enjoy every moment of it.”
Chestermere defenceman helping Kodiaks to great start in AJHL this year

Rocky View Publishing
As a seasoned veteran in the Alberta
Junior Hockey League (AJHL),
19-year-old Chestermere native Trevor
Costello is enjoying his most successful year to-date with the Camrose
Kodiaks.
Costello, who is in his third season
with the Kodiaks as a defencemen,
has already surpassed his career high
in points with eight in 22 games and
has been a key part in the team’s 18-22 record this season.
“In my first two seasons here in
Camrose, we went out early in the
playoffs, and that was not what
we wanted to do at all as a team,”
Costello said.
“This year, everyone is pulling
together as a group and playing a
team game, and hopefully it will only
go up from here.”
“During the summer, myself and the
other returning players on the team
made a goal to become stronger and
faster, and that training has paid off,”
he added.
“The new players on the team
have bought in to what we are doing
here as well, and it’s been a healthy
match.”

Mustangs at the Father David Bauer

native and Camrose Kodiaks defenceman Trevor Costello gave directions
to his teammates during the Kodiaks’
5-0 win over the Calgary Mustangs in
Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL)
action at the Father David Bauer Arena
in Calgary on Nov. 11.
Arena in Calgary on Nov. 11, the
Kodiaks were all alone in first place
in the AJHL South Division, and
were tied for the most points in the
league (38) with the defending league
champion and North Division leading
Spruce Grove Saints heading into a
pair of home games on Nov. 14 and 15

overall style of play, and that’s started
to pay off.”
While Coach Rybalka believes that
Costello has what it takes to play at
the pro level one day, the Chestermere
native admits that he isn’t looking too
far ahead and wondering about where
his hockey career may take him.
“It would be great to make it into
the professional ranks or to play in
the (United) States for a college hockey program, but I’m more focused on
what we are doing here in Camrose
right now,” Costello said. “Our team
has a chance to win it all this year,
and my main goal is to do whatever it
takes to win the Gas Drive Cup.”
In order to win the Kodiaks’ first
AJHL league championship since
2008, Costello said the team can’t
afford to rest on its laurels despite its
red-hot start.
“There are always things that you
can improve on, as no team can have
the perfect hockey game,” Costello
said. “The biggest thing we have to do
is to pay attention to detail, as if we
start to get away from our game plan,
we may have problems.”
Costello and the rest of the
Kodiaks will be back in action on
Nov. 21, when they will pay a visit
to the Lloydminster Bobcats at the
Centennial Civic Centre Arena at 7:30
p.m.

“The biggest difference from this
year to last has been the overall attitude of the team,” Kodiaks General
Manager and Head Coach Boris
Rybalka said. “We wanted to have
guys here that love to work hard and
compete hard, and the new faces we
have brought in are melding well with
the players who are returning.”
One of those returning players is
Costello, who had a pair of six-point
campaigns for the Kodiaks in the
2012/13 and 2013/14 seasons, and has
become a key player on the team’s
blue line.
“Trevor’s a big guy (who stands at
6’5” and weighs 212 pounds), but he’s
a guy that we can put in on the power
play and penalty kill, and have him
paired up with anyone on the team,”
Rybalka said. “He’s really starting to
come into his own here and he’s made
a lot of strides since when he first
arrived in Camrose back in 2012.”
“The coaching staff here has been
a huge help in my overall development, and I think it’s a huge privilege
to be able to play in so many different
roles on this team, as we have eight
defencemen that can do the same
thing,” Costello added. “My skating
has improved a lot this year and I’ve
become a lot more physical with my
