Bravo a Zachary qui a réussi son premier tour de chapeau (3 buts dans un match) ce matin lors du match de son équipe MAGH-2 (rouge) vs. St-Lambert…
Zach était particulièrement en forme pendant que Tristan, et moi, l’encourageai de nos superbes places dans les estrades a l’aréna Jean Rougeau à St-Basile-le-Grand.
Après son deuxième but Tristan est allé donner quelque conseils a Zachary, durant un changement de ligne, concernant l’idée de faire des feintes sur le gardien de St-Lambert. J’avais dis à Tristan que ça, c’est le travail de l’équipe de coaching (Patrick Germain est le directeur de coaching des équipes Pre-Novice / MAGH a Saint-Basile) mais bon, que veux tu, un frère veut toujours (sans le dire) aider son plus jeune a mieux jouer. Ca fonctionné et quelques minutes plus tard, Zachary avait réussi son 3e but.

Hats off to Zachary who had his 1st hat trick (3 goals in a game) this morning in the game between his MAGH-2 (red) team vs. the visiting St-Lambert…
Zach was particularly in shape while Tristan, and I, cheered him on from our great spots in the stands at the Jean-Rougeau Arena in St-Basile-le-Grand.
After his second goal, Tristan went to give a few tips to Zachary, while there was a line change, suggesting he try faking shots on the St-Lambert goalie. I had said to Tristan that it was the job of the coaching staff (lead by Patrick German, coaching director of the Saint-Basile pre-novice / MAGH teams) but alas… a brother always wants to help out (without admitting it) his younger sibling to play better. It worked and Zachary scored his hat trick 3rd goal a few minutes later.

06 Nov 08 Tristan à l’évaluation Novice pour l’hockey junior St-Basile-le-Grand Junior hockey novice tryout – Day 1
Alors voila Tristan le 25 octobre quelques seconds avant d’embarquer sur la glace pour son évaluation Novice suite au début de la saison d’hockey junior MAGH-3 à St-Basile-le-Grand. Tristan est un goalie (qui adore aussi jouer le rôle d’attaquant et défenseur) mais l’évaluation a commencé avec lui comme jouer… le plus important ? Bien regardez son grand sourire… c’est ca qui compte, et c’est pour ca qu’il est si bon 
So here’s Tristan on October 25th a few seconds before getting on the ice for his Novice try-out evaluation after that start of the MAGH-3 junior season in St-Basile-le-Grand. Tristan is a goalie (at heart, but loves playing forward and defensive too) but the try-out evaluation started with him as a player… What counts the most? Well, check out that big smile… that’s what really counts, and it’s because of that that he’s so good

28 Oct 08 October 28 : First snowfall in Montreal for 2008 – 2009 winter :)
Well, after a day of meeting with school staff for Tristan, then a couch-served yummy omelet with potatoes & onion, then nap, then novice hockey level evaluations and tryouts for Tristan… finished up with Jambalaya Fetuccini at Boston Pizza ….
and watching a bit of the Habs win againts the Carolina Hurricane in a close match that finished 3-2 for the Canadiens in a second overtime shootout…
it is now bedtime and * snowing * in Montreal … OK wet snow, perhaps we won’t get the 10-15cm that Ottawa got…. we’ll see if tomorrow is white morning

04 Oct 08 CTV W5 report on Canadian National Sledge Hockey team – a lesson for Tristan and all junior hockey players
CTV W-5 (W-Five) had yet another most interesting piece on tonight. This episode was covering the Canadian National Sledge Hockey team at the Paralympics to try and defend their Gold medal title in sledge hockey after a stupendous win at the games in Torino – or Turin depending on which language you prefer.
The team went on to win gold in the World Championship in Marlborough, MA as well as gold in the World Sledge Hockey Challenge held in Kelowna, BC.
It covers the usual locker room coaching and rallying the players, but it’s even more touching when you realize these people have to overcome both the physical and emotional demons that come with living with a serious disability and going on to practice a sport.
