At only 15 years old, Adam Houle has established 14 years of solid hockey experience. The Junior Bantam player from the Saulteaux First Nation has been playing hockey since age one.

"I remember him loving it when he was only a year old," said Joyce Night, Houle's mom. "He used to play in the living room on the rug and he would say, 'Hey mom, I'm skating backwards' and I used to laugh at him."

Aboriginal forward Mike Wirll of the Western Hockey League's Brandon Wheat Kings is expected to go fairly early in this summer's National Hockey League draft, but he probably won't be selected as early as he could have been.

After a solid rookie season with the Wheat Kings in 1998-99, the 18-year-old suffered what some might call a sophomore jinx when it came to the injury bug.
