Ty Gretzky, son of hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, will be bringing The Gretzky Hockey School to Servus Credit Union Place in St. Albert in the summer of 2015. 

Founded in 2014 by Ty Gretzky and Eric Kleineck, the Gretzky Hockey School was created to give hockey players a rare opportunity to learn the "Gretzky Hockey Philosophy," the same instruction Walter Gretzky gave Wayne and his other children about the great game of hockey.

"We are extremely excited about bringing the Gretzky Hockey School to the City of St. Albert," says Ty Gretzky (in November's press release). "St. Albert has a storied history of producing some of the best players to ever play the game. The five days in July will be a fun and rewarding experience for everyone." 

Spots are filling up quickly. For more information, and to register, visit the Gretzky School website.

Sean Danchuk, owner of Wheelz Inc., is excited to bring a unique new business to the heart of Downtown; "We're a scooter shop- we sell scooters, scooter apparel and accessories, and there is nothing in the Edmonton area like us, period." A father himself, Sean's business is about more than selling scooters to kids; "we want to grow with the kids as they get older; we can help them build and teach them how to use different tools to fix their own scooters."

Sean is also quick to point out that Wheelz aligns well with St Albert's value of living  active lifestyles; "I think we're going in the right direction of the young vibe- having some fresh businesses down here geared towards young families and physical activity. We have bike paths that make it easy to go for a walk, go for a cruise, do some outdoor shopping." As a lifelong resident of St Albert, it's easy for Shawn to talk about the factors that make St Albert stand apart from other communities; "We're a city, but we have a small-town attitude. You always see someone you know and no one is afraid to say 'hi.' Being close to Edmonton, we get all the big city benefits but still have our small town."  

Commenting on St Albert's business community, Sean is happy to be a part of a tight-nit crew; "I've had opportunities to talk to downtown business owners, and it's a great group of people focused on building this area." Sean is also excited about Downtown's future: "it excites me because there's been a lot of facelifts to the buildings- it doesn't feel old and stagnant, and there's a lot of new businesses down here that are really geared on changing the Perron District and want to have a "fresh" kind of Whyte Ave vibe in our community."

Most of all, Sean is looking forward to summer and what it holds for Wheelz; "The Farmer's market is awesome and brings a lot to downtown. It's all about summer down here- the summer vibe."
