JOE COLBORNE - AJHL (Camrose Kodiaks) The AJHL’s second-leading scorer during the regular season (33G 57A 90P), Joe Colborne has solidified himself as a top prospect for the 2008 NHL Entry Draft with a 2007-08 season that included a gold medal at the 2007 World Junior A Challenge, two assists in the CJAHL Top Prospects Game, a spot on the AJHL South Division All-Star Team and a trip to the National Men’s Summer Under-18 Team selection camp.
Off the ice Colborne carries himself with the same poise he shows on the ice, as the Calgary native is active in local schools, reading to children and tutoring those that need help with their school work. Despite missing more than three weeks to join Team Canada West for the 2007 World Junior A Challenge, Colbornewas able to sustain his 90% average, a testament to his drive not only on the ice, but off it as well. .
Committed to the University of Denver for the 2008-09 season, Colborne will bring the same leadership qualities to NCAA hockey that he brought to the AJHL for the past two seasons, helping his team win a league championship in 2006-07 and 2007-08.
