Penny anxious to learn on ice and in class

I want to have my best effort in hockey and my best effort in school.

University of Regina Cougars recruit Tyler Penny plans to work hard as a rookie next season. And he’ll be diligent on the ice, too. Going back to school, you have to go in there and give an honest effort, the 21-yearold Weyburn product said Tuesday, when the U of R announced he had committed to the Canada West men’s hockey team. If you have that willingness to want to learn, you’ll do fine.

I’m looking forward to the challenge of going to school again.

Penny hasn’t been a full-time student since graduating from Notre Dame College in 2007, but he did take courses at Red Deer College during his seasons with the WHL’s Red Deer Rebels.

It’ll be a little different going back to school, admitted Penny, who spent the past seasons with the SJHL’s Weyburn Red Wings. The (hockey) schedule won’t be as vigorous as it was in junior. At the same time, I’ll have to try to manage both school and hockey.

I want to have my best effort in hockey and my best effort in school.

The 5-foot-10, 170-pound Penny had 25 goals and 21 assists in 57 games with the Red Wings during the 2009-10 SJHL regular season. He’s also a specialist who can kill penalties and play on the power play.

He’s a real workhorse, said Cougars head coach Blaine Sautner. He plays hard every shift. He plays smart, too. He’s one of those kids you don’t have to coach very much because he has such a good understanding of the game.

Making the jump from junior A, I just want to contribute and work hard every game, added Penny. I don’t expect to come in and get a lot of time on the power play right away. I’m just going to work hard — and when you work hard, you get results.
