THE 2003 BENOIT BARBEAU SUMMER HOCKEY SCHOOL:
Many Familiar Faces!
The Benoit Barbeau Summer Hockey School was held June 30 � July 11 at Montreal�s YMCA arena. A record number of over 150 hockey enthusiasts came together in an extraordinary environment and had a great time while learning and perfecting their skills. The coaches in charge of the groups for Power Skating and Puck Control, Basic Offensive and Defensive Individual Tactics, as well as Introduction to Body Checking and Basic Offensive and Defensive Team Tactics, not forgetting the goaltenders, outdid themselves by offering an exceptional level of instruction.
We said our good-byes at the Molson Centre's La Cage aux Sports Restaurant with a grand gathering of over 250 players and parents. Next year, the hockey school will be held July 5 - 16 at the YMCA, Hochelaga Street, as always. Photos from this year�s hockey school are available in our photo gallery.Once again, Mike Ribeiro is part of the team!
Mike Ribeiro of the Montr�al Canadien never misses the opportunity to stop in at the Benoit Barbeau Summer Hockey School and spend time with the campers. Of a truly giving nature, he even paid us a visit on the day before his wedding!

AUGUST 9 � 13, 2004!
To meet the growing demand, Hockey Benoit Barbeau will be offering a Pre-Season Camp August 9 � 13, 2004 at the YMCA Arena.
The BENOIT BARBEAU SUMMER HOCKEY SCHOOL will take place as usual over the first two weeks of July (July 5 � 16, 2004) at the Montreal YMCA Arena. One two-week session based on our time-proven formula is available: two hours of ice-time per day in a day-camp format with emphasis placed on teaching techniques, theoretical and practical individual and team tactics along with a two-hour off-ice activity period for children from seven to sixteen years of age.
The PRE-SEASON CAMP held August 9 to 13, 2004 includes three hours of ice-time per day for each group, including a one-hour game. In addition, 90 minutes of off-ice activities are planned. Emphasis will be placed on practising skating and puck control movements, in addition to developing the players� vision of the game and decision-making skills. Goaltenders receive specialized, targeted instruction and will be given the opportunity to refine their technique while sharpening their reflexes.
This program is designed for players and goaltenders from eight to sixteen years of age, offered in a day-camp format. The August PRE-SEASON CAMP is the ideal complement to the traditional Hockey School in July. The intensive nature of this program ensures participants will be in top shape when the season gets underway! Click here for more information.

For the second straight year, the "Friends of Ville-�mard" Foundation and Hockey Benoit Barbeau will unite their efforts to offer a free spot at the 2001 Benoit Barbeau Summer Hockey School to two young hockey players from the South-West area. The "Friends of Ville-�mard" Foundation raises funds through its annual golf tournament, which hosted over 80 golfers at the Beauch�teau Golf Club. A tribute was made post-humusly to Daniel M�tivier, ex-player of the Montreal Canadien organization, who was recently deceased. Daniel was one of the project's founding members. The Daniel-M�tivier and Benoit-Barbeau Bursaries will help to put smiles on a few happy faces in the South-West area. Bravo!
FRAN�OIS CARON WITH THE CHICOUTIMI SAGUEN�ENS OF THE QMJHL
Fran�ois Caron, graduate of the Sport-�tudes program at Montreal's �douard-Montpetit Secondary School and former participant at the Benoit Barbeau Summer Hockey School, has seen one of his dreams come true. Although only 16 years of age, he has found a spot with the Chicoutimi Saguen�ens of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. Benoit Barbeau was his coach and mentor for a period spanning several years. It goes without saying that Fran�ois' hard work and determination are already paying off. Good luck, Fran�ois!

MIKE RIBEIRO BACK WITH THE MONTREAL CANADIEN!
We recently learned that Mike Ribeiro has returned to the Montreal Canadien. We already know that he will enjoy a long, successful career in the NHL and we hope that it will be with the Montreal Canadien! Mike paid a visit to his former coach Pierre Barbeau (not a family relation), now head coach for the Lachine Maroons of the Quebec AAAJHL, as well as to Benoit Barbeau, technical advisor for the Hochelaga Hurons, for whom Mike played for several years. Also a former participant of the Benoit Barbeau Summer Hockey School, Mike Ribeiro didn't need to be asked twice to sign autographs for the many young players present. Thanks, Mike, and best of luck!
