"He's a really hard worker," said Tony Crepinsek, Hulbert's coach for the past four years. "His skills improve more and more every year."

"I thought there were a lot of really good players so I didn't know if I would make it," he said. But Hulbert made a favourable impression on the Ontario coaching staff and earned one of the 20 spots on the team. Asked what he was looking forward to about the tournament, Hulbert said, "Probably the experience of playing with other players that are really good." His coach believes Hulbert will fit right in. "He's athletic, he's quick, he's strong. He's got all the physical tools," said Crepinsek. This season, the peewee Hawks are playing in A -- the highest level in their age group -- for the first time and are hoping to qualify for provincials. Crepinsek said Hulbert has helped the team hold its own at that level. "He's taken a real leadership role on the team," the Hawks coach said. "He's especially tough against the big powerhouses like Whitby and Halton Hills." Crepinsek said Hulbert is an allaround performer, although he is one of the team's key offensive threats. That's something Hulbert prides himself on. "I can score a lot of offence, but still play well on defence," he said. Ontario will be one of the favourites in both bantam and peewee play at the nationals. British Columbia and Iroquois squads are also perennially strong. -- with files from Herb Garbutt
