When members of the Sports Zone Boltz men’s hockey team take to the ice tonight, they will each wear a special patch on their jerseys. The patch will sport the initials “TV” in memory of their friend and teammate Tim Vallee. Vallee, whose full name was Themy Alexandre Vallee-Apostolakis, was

shot and killed during a robbery last Wednesday in Honduras. Team member Alex Peterson said the close-knit squad is still in shock since hearing the tragic news on Thursday. The team gathered the following night to share memories of their FrenchCanadian friend. Peterson said Vallee, 34, played with passion on the ice. “Tim was very big on making our team

feel like a family, always encouraging us to go out for drinks after the game or getting together on other nights even when there wasn’t hockey,” he said. Peterson was one of the first people to meet Vallee, a conservation officer with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, when he moved to Abbotsford from Montreal about two years ago.
