Former Sport Études students

Since the start of the post-season, many Sport Études alumni’s are doing great during their respective playoffs.

In the NHL, Jason Demers is seeing a lot of power play time with the Sharks and contributing to the Sharks Stanley Cup drive.

In the QJMHL, defensemen Mark Barberio and Simon Despres are battling it out in the finals. Barberio, a 6th round pick by Tampa Bay in 2008, and the Moncton Wildcats are up 2 games to 0 over Saint John Sea Dogs. Despres, Pittsburgh’s first pick overall in last year’s draft, hopes to even things up as the series heads over to Saint John.

We would also like to congratulate Michael Matheson on being named the top prospect by the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League Central Scouting (CSR) for the upcoming entry draft, while Dillon Fournier is ranked #8 and Patrick Walsh #24. We wish them all the best for the upcoming draft on June 5th.

Dear Parents,

As many of you might be aware, Lynn Guillotte, mother of Owen and Phil Johansson, is presently battling ovarian cancer. Trudy Clarke is captaining a Weekend to End Cancer walking team on August 28th, in support of Lynn.

One hundred percent of the funds raised by this amazing cause directly benefit the Jewish General Hospital Segal Cancer Center, where Lynn is presently being treated. To date, this walk has generated over 36 million dollars for the hospital's Cancer Center.

Unlike in the past, where funds raised were directed only towards Breast Cancer research, this year the walk will benefit all women's cancers. Teams choose which cancer they wish to dedicate their funds to, and of course, our team, Lynn's Sistas, will be walking for ovarian cancer research.

Please go to the following link to make a donation to this wonderful cause:

To donate securely on-line, click on the team member of your choice and then the green Donate button. Remember, any donation, no matter how big or small, is a step closer to finding a cure for this horrendous disease. Donations over $10 will entitle you to a tax receipt.

Cancer affects everybody, so if you too want to join Lynn's Sistas team, call 514-393-WALK

On behalf of Lynn, her family, the Segal Cancer Centre Research team and the entire Lynn's Sistas walking team, thank you.

Congratulations to Courtney Bolduc on being selected to the team Quebec U18 try-outs. Dave Coughlin, head instructor had this to say about Courtney "She's a great skater and she always works hard on and off the ice". Head girls coach Frank Boyer summed it up when he said "She's a gamer, she shows up to play every day and always brings her "A" game".
