His biggest goal as a King was scored on April 1, 2023.
That's when Deepkaran Hans lit the twine just 29 seconds into double-overtime as Dauphin got back in their first-round playoff series with the Swan Valley Stampeders. It was Hans' third goal of the series. Deepkaran's junior career would then come to a close three days later when Dauphin's season came to a close after a 4-1 defeat in front of 1229 fans.
While his junior chapter has closed, Hans' book of hockey has not as the former King is heading south of the border. Hans has announced his committment to join Marian University as his NCAA Division III hockey days will begin in the fall.
A member of the Northern Collegiate Hockey Association, Marian is one of the strongest programs in their conference.
Hans split two seasons in the MJHL between Swan Valley (2021-22) and Dauphin (2022-23) where he scored 15 goals and 26 assists. In six playoff games with the Kings last season, Hans added three goals and three assists.
"I'm extremely excited to get things going with the Sabres coming up here in the near future," offered Hans. "It has always been my goal to advance to the next level while continuing my studies. Hockey is my passion and it should be a great ride."
Hans also will never forget his time in Dauphin.
"Playing with the Kings was incredible, such a great organization from top to bottom," ended Hans.
