The Town of Wakaw is celebrating its own Olympian - hockey player Linden Vey - in five different ways.

For starters, Mayor Steve Skoworodko has declared February 14, the day before Team Canada hits the ice, as Vey Day. Wakaw will be wearing red in support of Linden, with many sporting custom Vey 91 shirts, according to a news release from the town.

A large Canada flag is making its way around the town collecting well wishes. Vey's family will take it to Pyeongchang and deliver it to him.

For the duration of the Olympic Games, local businesses and institutions will decorate their windows, facades, storefronts, entrances or outbuildings to show support for Linden and Team Canada. To kick start the patriotism and pride, the town has purchased flags for each business. An adjudication group representing all ages will go around on Vey Dey to choose the top three displays.

For Canada's first game on February 15 at 6 a.m., the town will be spearheading a social media campaign with the hashtag #SmallTownBigPride. Alarms across the community are set to go off as residents rise to watch the game.

A free all-ages viewing party is planned for February 16 at 9 p.m. in the Wakaw Rec Centre as Canada takes on the Czech Republic. Proceeds from food and bar sales will go to Wakaw Minor Hockey as per Vey's direction.

Vey plays right wing for the ZSC Lions of Zürich, Switzerland in the National League. He has five points in seven games.

He had stints in the NHL with Los Angeles, Vancouver and Calgary, and led the Canadian Hockey League in scoring in 2010-11.
