Day Six

Tuesday, February 17th

Today, some of us are departing Quebec with five days of fond memories watching our boys play and interact with players from other parts of the country and world.  The boys play two games today; one

Game vs. Roy-Cardinal High School

against Roy-Cardinal High School, our billet captain's (Dave) alma mater; the other is against the New York Jr. Islanders at the famous Hersey Park Mall.  Through real time updates, I was updated on the outcomes of the games.  The boys won both their games today. Congratulations Jr. Sharks!  Although not present to see it, I'm sure smiles abound in the locker room; nothing like getting that monkey off their backs.  The afternoon game, I assume was a challenge as well with the roller coasters and sounds of the amusement part all round them.  They stayed focus and won that game as well.

The boys didn't really get a chance to enjoy the mall/park afterwards.  They had to grab a quick dinner at the player's cafeteria and then head off to the Remparts game that evening.  Pretty sure that was exciting and fun to watch as well.  With the schnide officially over, the boys can now get down to business.  Aller Les Requins!
On a side note, we met Jason Demers' mom at the airport.  She worked behind the airline counter and saw the Jr. Sharks logo on our apparel.  She told us about her experiences as a hockey mom and that Jason also participated in the PeeWee Tournament.  She also mentioned that Jason misses San Jose. We miss you too, Jason.

Sharks score!

Let's Go Sharks!

The traditional greeting and pin exchange.
