Ken Houston played minor hockey in the @MunicCK<\/a> and then went on to play in the NHL, but never forgot his roots. After his playing career, Ken continued to be involved in minor hockey in the area, until he passed away earlier this year. May he always be remembered. pic.twitter.com\/f22VKxbmN8<\/a><\/p>\n
