SERGE BÉLISLE AT THE HOCKEY SCHOOL
An honoured guest!

On July 8 during the Hockey School, certified trainer and conference speaker, Serge Bélisle, paid us a visit and delivered his 1350th conference to the Group C campers.

Blind for 10 years as a result of complications from diabetes, Serge raised our awareness about his motivational program called "Juste pour Voir." His projects and themed action items apply equally to schools and businesses.

Thanks, Serge; yours is a message we soon won't forget!




HBB VIDEO CLIP
Because a picture is worth a thousand words...

We produced a short video clip that shows actual footage of what we do at the Summer Hockey School and Pre-Season Camp so players and parents can know us better. Our video underscores the friendly atmosphere that characterizes all our activities. The Benoit Barbeau Summer Hockey School, as well as the Pre-Season Camp are a sure-fire way to have fun while learning the basics of hockey and sportsmanship. The glowing faces of smiling kids and the positive feedback of satisfied parents are our best publicity. See you there!

THE FRIENDS OF VILLE-ÉMARD MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Free spots at the Pre-Season Camp awarded to four young players!

Once again this year, The Friends of Ville-Émard gave some promising young hockey players the opportunity to participate free of charge in the Pre-Season Camp. We see here Benoit Barbeau posing with the players Francis Robert, Renaud Cossette-Laneville and Mathieu Lafaille-Théberge. Absent from the photo: Alexandre Hamel. All these players were part of Group B. Well done!

In addition, Mathilde Bolduc-Tremblay and Gabriel Webster from Group A each won themselves a free spot at the Pre-Season Camp. Our six lucky athletes enjoyed a great week learning in a one-of-a-kind environment. Congratulations!

As part of the 2009 Sud-Ouest Bantam-Midget Tournament, Samuel Brouillard-Leclerc of Pointe-aux-Trembles earned the chance to participate free of charge in the Pre-Season Camp. The TSO is one of the biggest single-letter Bantam-Midget tournaments in Quebec. For more information, see www.tournoiso.com.

REMEMBERING ANDRÉ LALONDE
Farewell to a good friend

Last October, The Friends of Ville-Émard lost a long-time and dedicated volunteer. André Lalonde was taken from us after losing a short battle with illness. He will be fondly remembered for his dedication to the cause of the children of the Sud-Ouest.

Over the years, The Friends of Ville-Émard have provided more than 50 youngsters with the opportunity to attend the Benoit Barbeau Summer Hockey School or the Pre-Season Camp free of charge. The Friends’ primary source of funding is their annual golf tournament, which draws over a hundred golfers and friends.

Thanks for everything, André; you will be sorely missed.
