Ken Holland (Edmonton GM), Dennis Holland (Dallas scout) meet with Stanley Cup final berth on line
The National Hockey League’s Western Conference final – with the winner advancing to play for the Stanley Cup – features the Edmonton Oilers against the Dallas Stars. Edmonton won Game 1 Thursday, May 23, with McDavid scoring in the opening minute of double overtime to give the Oilers a 3-2 victory in Big D.
“I’m so proud of Dennis,” said Ken Friday morning, May 24. “He was a great player in Junior and when I was Western scout for Detroit, we drafted him in the third round . He was a great American Hockey League player but never made it to the NHL. He tried coaching for a bit win Toledo but he really found his passion in scouting.“We haven’t talked. I texted him after we beat Vancouver, and I texted him before Game 1, saying we’ll talk after the series.
Caught in the literal middle of the family feud is sister Diane Bowers, the second of three kids born to Rienie and Lee Holland in Vernon. Both parents have passed away. “It really is a hockey family’s dream come true. We can’t win and we can’t lose. It’s a win-win for us Hollands.” Lots of friends have extended good wishes to all three siblings. And those who grew up with the Hollands in Vernon know that the city will be represented in the Cup final. Bowers echoed the comments of both brothers when asked for a prediction.
“My mom and dad would be thrilled,” said Bowers. “My mom would be a nervous wreck. She would be so stressed but a happy stress. My dad would be quietly taking it all in and beaming with pride that his boys and their teams are in the Western Conference Final.
