Hockey, beer and a frozen lake in the mountains.
It doesnB次元官网网址檛 get more Canadian than that. Five young men decided to put their love of hiking together with all those good things and make a little video of them hiking up to Lindeman Lake in the Chilliwack River Valley to skate around just after New YearB次元官网网址檚.
Nicholas Thielmann posted the end result on his Facebook page and it received hundreds of shares and likes, and by Feb. 9, more than 19,000 views.
B次元官网网址淏asically the point was to go have a good time and hopefully have a sweet video as a byproduct,B次元官网网址� Thielmann told The Progress.
The 22-year-old Thielmann hiked up Lindeman with his friends Isaac Johnsrude, Ryan Heppell, Levi Ens and Solomon Thiessen. The guys brought sticks, skates, a case of Molson Canadian, hot dogs, snacks and a whole load of wood to make a fire.
B次元官网网址滿y buddy texted me one day that he wanted to hike up Lindeman and go skating,B次元官网网址� Thielmann explained. B次元官网网址淭hat reminded me of an idea that I had been thinking of for a while to go hike up to a frozen lake, play some hockey and hopefully film it and get some cool material for a video.B次元官网网址�
While his lofty goal was to get the attention of Hockey Night in Canada, he made a last-minute decision to bring Molson Canadian since he knew the NHL is sponsored by Molson and, of course, the new Molson-Coors brewery is under construction in Chilliwack.
And while he hasnB次元官网网址檛 been offered any filmmaking or commercial jobs, Molson did respond pretty positively on multiple platforms to the short video.
B次元官网网址淣othing really resulted from it,B次元官网网址� he said. B次元官网网址淛ust a B次元官网网址榯hanks for making thisB次元官网网址� essentially.B次元官网网址�
Originally from Manitoba, Thielmann is a recent degree graduate from Briercrest Bible College in Saskatchewan. He moved out west a year ago to pursue his love of filmmaking. He currently lives in Abbotsford and works on a chicken farm in Chilliwack to afford living in B.C., explore the area and create photos and videos.
B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檓 not sure how that fits into my career ambitions at this point but I love it and I donB次元官网网址檛 think it is something that I will stop doing anytime soon.B次元官网网址�
