Congratulations to Jim Nill who was born in Hanna, one of three children of Ed and Maxine Nill, on being named the NHL’s General Manager of the Year. The Nill family has some connections to the Endiang area as Jim’s dad Ed Nill, one of eight children of Chris and Ottilie Nill, was raised on the family farm south of Endiang.
Jim has been the General Manager of the Dallas Stars for about 10 years. His hockey career started by playing hockey in Hanna, Drumheller and Medicine Hat as well as a year at the University of Calgary. In 1980, Jim was on the Canadian National team in the Olympics, which was a growth experience for him. Jim’s NHL career, which began in 1982, took him to St. Louis, Vancouver, Boston, Winnipeg and Detroit. In management, he spent 19 years with Ottawa and Detroit before going to Dallas. The honour of the Jim Gregory General Manager of the Year award is the icing on the cake of Jim Nill’s distinguished hockey career.
Happy Birthday wishes are sent to these seniors — Gordon Groat celebrating his 81st birthday on July 30, Art Gutsche celebrating his 93rd birthday on August 1 and Margaret Jones marking her 88th birthday on August 3. We hope you all enjoy your special day.
