On the ice, Gilroy native Dustin Wolf and his Calgary Flames are fighting to stay on the edge of the race for the NHL playoffs.
After a slow start, the Flames got back in gear by the end of December. However, a losing streak in January has put the team a few games back of the last playoff spot.
Off the ice, Wolf—who was born in Gilroy and spent his childhood in Morgan Hill—has big news. He and girlfriend Sawyer Norman announced their engagement on Instagram. The Dec. 7 engagement came with a video that can be seen at instagram.com/p/DSDpi-vDytU/?hl=en&img_index=2.
“12.07.2025, the day I got to say yes to forever with my best friend,” Norman wrote in the caption.
Norman is also a hockey player. She played in U18 AAA with the Battlefords Sharks and later for the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology in Edmonton.
She played on the school team for the NAIT Ooks (a shortened form of “Ookpik,” an Inuit term for a snowy owl) in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference. While playing, Norman pursued a degree in Occupational Health and Safety at NAIT.
Most recently, she played in 2024-25 with the Western Prairie Klippers in the Saskatchewan Junior Female Hockey League.
