Added Hitmen teammate Reese Hamilton, "I never heard of him being a long-drive competition guy but I saw that he drove the ball 340 yards, so that's pretty impressive, for sure."By winning the Canadian U17 title, Behm qualified to compete in the worlds but he won't be able to make it because of hockey.For now, hockey is his priority but holding the long-drive trophy is a memory he'll have forever.
