Otters sign Falls native

By Bill Potrecz - March 16, 2021

BPSports Lowe OttersCam Lowe will never forget his 17th birthday.

As well as gifts, phone calls and messages from friends and family, Lowe received a text from Erie Otters vice president of operations/general manager Dave Brown offering him a contract.

Lowe, a 6-foot, 156-pound centre, was selected 128th overall the seventh round of the Ontario Hockey League Priority Selection in 2020.

“Basically, it came out of nowhere,” said Lowe, a Niagara Falls native who attends Saint Michael Catholic High School. “They told me the news on my birthday, which was crazy.

“It was probably one of the best birthday presents I ever received.”

Lowe admitted he didn’t see the offer coming.

“I was startled. It didn’t expect it. It was a big goal of mine to make the team this year,” he said. “It was a shock and a bit of a surprise.

“I didn’t expect there to be a season due to the COVID. It was crazy news to receive.”

There has been no official announcement if the OHL will have a season, although the rumour mill is heating up.

“I’m hearing rumours about hub cities and stuff and a season coming up so I’m just preparing myself for that and waiting for the call to go to camp and get started,” Lowe said. “It’s kind of quiet right now. We’re just waiting for everything to be announced.

Mahoney commits to Mercyhurst

By Bill Potrecz - January 6, 2021

Kylee MahoneyKylee Mahoney didn’t need much persuading to commit to Mercyhurst University.

The 18-year-old Niagara Falls native visited the school last year before the COVID-19 pandemic and came away convinced the NCAA Division 1 institution was the perfect fit for her, on and off the ice.

“They were always on the top of my list,” said Mahoney, a Grade 12 student at Saint Michael Catholic High School. “They are a top 10 school in the nation.

“Last year I was recruited and was able to go and see the campus and watch a couple of games. It was really nice there.”

Mahoney appreciated being able to see the school in person.

“It was definitely a lot better than virtual,” she said. “I got to see everything up close and personal. The coaches gave me a tour of the campus and I saw the dressing room. It was a really cool experience.”

The Lakers, who play in the College Hockey American conference, began the recruiting process last year but only recently did Mahoney put pen to paper to make it official.

“It all happened so quickly, honestly. It really was amazing,” she said.

Mahoney appreciates the opportunity to continue to play while she majors in biology/medical imaging.

“I’ve always wanted to play at the highest level, the D1 level, and a lot of coaches helped me out to get there,” she said. “Everyone around me has supported me throughout my career. My dad (former college player Brent Mahoney) always told me he knew I could do what I wanted to do.”
