I found that it was the place I enjoyed being the most. It’s not a job, it’s a passion.”

To him the best part of the job comes down to having good ice, something Long Sault is known for, but in achieving that goal, he often gets a less than pleasant reaction from the people in the stands. You have heaters, they ask, why don’t you use them more?

“To have good ice you can’t always have the heaters on,” says Swerdfeger, “which makes the parents mad. My rule of thumb is that I don’ t turn the heaters on if it is above zero, (above freezing) outside.”

In a way, achieving the best part of his job also plays a role in creating what for him is the worst part of his job: dealing with upset parents.

“Dealing with parents who are upset after a game that I have nothing to do with,” says Swerdfeger, “but I’m a ref so I hear about it. Whether I’m in here (the office) or out there I get blamed for it. That’s the worst part of it.”

Away from the job and the officiating, Swerdfeger is still an active athlete, playing hockey about four times a week. He was a member of the 55 and over team that went to the national championships this year.

We had an over 55 team that went to the national’s this year. He says he is having as much fun as he has at any time in his life.

“Oh, yeah, more fun, actually,” says Swerdfeger. “You enjoy them (the games) more, take more pleasure from them, playing the games, being with the people.”

Do you see a day when you won’t be involved in sports?

“When I’m in the ground,” he says without taking even a second to think.

“Our goalie who plays for the 65 and over team he’s 76-77 and he’s still good. He bought brand new goalie equipment last year and everybody thought he was crazy. He struggled with it for about three months till he got it broke in and now he’s playing fine with it.”

It is rare in today’s world to find many people who can say that they love what they do for a living, and wouldn’t change it for anything, but Dale Swerdfeger is one of them.

“I’m only a lottery win away from leaving,” says Swerdfeger, “ but what’s the point? I’d still spend all my time here.”

SHINES THE SPOTLIGHT ON OUR MEMBERS

From one marathon to the next: Ian Callan training with your other work and family obligations.”

By Derrick LoRusso

F

or many people, the love of running, exercise, and sports can start at a young age. Once that rush of excitement is in you, it never leaves.

For local elementary school Phys.

Ed. and Health teacher Ian Callan, that first experience with running didn’t convince him all too well. “I used to run as training for soccer and recall that I didn’t overly enjoy it,” he says.

Even in the midst of all this training, Callan still remembers one very crucial detail: listening to his body. “After a few injuries over the years I have learned to better listen to my body’s signals when it needs rest to recover from the hard training,” he says.

Everyone remembers their first race, marathon, or event and Callan is no different. He recalls his very first marathon in great detail. “I ran it in Ottawa with Martin who was also running his first. I can say that nothing really prepares you for that first experience,” he says.

His brother, Martin however, kept trying to have his brother adopt the lifestyle. “I was a little hesitant when my brother Martin kept pestering me to join him on runs. About seven years ago he finally convinced me to give it a try and we soon signed up for half-marathons in Toronto and Philadelphia. I was hooked by the race experience.”

“I had done the required training, had read books and online articles, as well as sought advice from experienced marathoners. So I figured I knew what I was up against.” During the race however, his body decided to send a clear message on the dangers of over exhausting yourself. “There was a point in that first marathon when my body and mind seemed to scream, ‘Stop!’ My legs seized up with cramps around the 40km mark. It was a pain I had never experienced.”

Through sheer determination and iron will, not even pain could slow him down. “I did manage to drag myself along until the end, even pulling out a semi-sprint for the last Continued on page 5

With a new fondness for the idea of running a marathon, it’s time to start the long process of training. “Training programs to run the marathon usually work out to three to six months. It’s a 42.2 kilometre race so you have to get your body used to running a long time,” says Callan. He also adds that the most important goal of training is the two to three hour weekly run. “If you have a time goal, you have to teach your body to run at your target pace is a solitary sport, but the support of family can have a direct Running impact. with those types of workouts.

Continued from page 4 hundred metres or so. The sense of achievement after crossing the finish line was worth it.”

What many might not know is Callan lived in Japan for 10 years.

Japan appears to have a deep love for racing and marathons, just as North America does. “Running is extremely popular there and races get huge TV ratings,” says Callan. “Their elite runners are household names.”

In January 2013 Callan decided to race in an event he never attempted before. “I often run a 10k there every August but the Tokyo Tamagawa Grand Prix in January 2013 was my first full marathon in the country. It was the inaugural race and had about 150 runners, so it was quite small.”

While running may appear to be the same everywhere, the Japanese have a very different way of not only taking care of their racers, but how they hydrate them. “One of the more interesting differences I found between Japanese and North American races is what is provided as nutrition. Rather than Gatorade or energy gels like we get here, it’s more common for races in Japan to offer just water, oranges and bananas,” says Callan. “Postrace goodies can include cucumbers with miso (fermented soybean paste), watermelon and wheat tea.”

Every race brings a collection of memories and Callan continues to add to his list. In 2011 he decided to race in the Ultimate cross-country half marathon crossing the path of Mt. Tremblant. “It turned out to be quite technical,” he says, “meaning you had to be very careful of your footing due to the uneven terrain, rocks, roots and branches.” Callan describes the course as more than just a walk in the park. “In some spots I just let gravity take over. I’ve never run faster …. A real rush! Thankfully I didn’t end up tripping and busting my head open.”

And what training did he do for this race? “My training for the XC included a lot of stair climbing at the Ed Lumley Arena and an 8 mile race up Whiteface Mountain.”

In June of 2011, Callan went into the “1 Run 2 Remember” chase. This is a race where people young and old can participate, with the elder having a head start. Callan says he did it for the simple cause of charity and test of skill. “I ran the race because it was for a good cause and it was also a chance for me to test my speed in a race-setting,” he says. He encourages other runners to get out and support

a good cause. “For runners there are many opportunities like the Run to Remember, such as the MS Run in April or the Salvation Army Santa Shuffle where we can get our runningfix while supporting worthwhile charities.”

Callan has a long list of races and marathons he would love to just participate in, but two really stand out for him. “I have a pretty long list of races I would love to do. Of course, I’m excited about running the Boston Marathon for the first time next April,” he says. “But, one of my next goals is to run the Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc. It’s a 170 km race with 10000m of positive altitude change going through towns in France, Italy and Switzerland.”

If, like Callan, you’re someone who wasn’t interested in racing but would like to give it a try, he has some advice on how to get into it.

“Volunteer at a race once and you may just be inspired enough to get out there yourself. There are folks of all ages and body types pushing themselves and having lots of fun doing it. And even if you are not overly competitive most of these events are so positive,” he says. “I’ve run in races of all sizes, from those in small towns with just a couple of dozen runners, to New York, Chicago and Washington where you share the experience with thirty to fortythousand others. I enjoyed them all.”

The desire to succeed in competition may be a universal goal, but in the time he spent in Japan, Ian Callan discovered first-hand some of the cultural differences in the sport. This photo was taken in 2014 during a mountain run in Japan.

Myriam Fontaine will live out her hoop dreams at Queen’s University

By Alina Martin

L

a Citadelle Patriotes basketball star Myriam Fontaine is preparing to further her career on the court by joining the Golden Gaels at Queen’s University for their 20152016 season.

Fontaine has been shooting hoops since a very young age, first taking to the court when she was just eight years old, She has a long resume, playing for the Cornwall Lions from fifth grade up until last year, for the Jewel League; an Ontario competitive league for elite athletes, the Army Nationals team, a Provincial team in 2012 and she also spent some time at a Toronto summer program called A-Game. Two winters ago, Fontaine was invited to play with Canada Basketball as well, however an injury hindered her ability to play for them.

Playing for Queens will be just another step in what has become almost a storybook tale. This season, Fontaine and the Patriotes captured a Provincial title at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) championships, which were hosted

by Rothwell-Osnabruck in Ingleside.

With life-long friends and supporters by here side there was no better way to close the door on one part of her life while walking through another.

Fontaine knew as soon as she stepped on the court at Queens, that this was going to be the place where she was going to continue her basketball career.

“I felt an immediate bond with the coaches and the players. I knew it was right for me as a person and as a player and I also know I can achieve my academic goals there too. I just By looking at her long list of felt comfortable there and I knew I achievements and seeing her take to was going to get along with everyone the court, Queen’s University offered really well,” says Fontaine. her a scholarship to join their roster Fontaine has big dreams for what while she completes her studies her basketball career will be down “It’s kind of summing up everything the road, for now she’s hoping to I worked hard for, I was extremely win a few championships as part of happy because this is what I’ve been the Golden Gaels squad and succeed working towards,” says Fontaine on academically as well. hearing the news of being granted a “I hope to be playing with the scholarship. “Obviously I’m looking university for five years, I want to forward to it.”

MURPHY’S SPORTS LAW

By David Murphy

Let’s kick off this article wishing all Sports Energy News readers a safe and happy 2015!

Now, on for some sports talk. Tony Luis will be making another appearance on ESPN2’s Friday Night Fights at the end of January.

Luis will be headlining the card from Foxwood Resort in Mashantucket, Connecticut against North American Boxing Federation Lightweight Champion Karl Dargan.

Luis will look to improve on his 18-2 record (7 KOs) while Dargan brings an unblemished 17-0 (9 KOs) to the 10 round bout.

Luis’ last TV tilt had many, not only in Cornwall but in the boxing community feeling he got the short end of the scoring in a decision loss to Ivan “Red” Redkach.

push myself to be the best basketball player I can be, to reach top level and see what kind of opportunities come from there, to see if I get another shot at Canada Basketball,” says Fontaine.

“Next year, playing at the university level, it’s really going to be about playing to my best ability and seeing if we can win a championship there.”

Your chance to cheer Cornwall’s own boxing prodigy will be on Friday, January 30th.

With the Christmas break behind them, the Cornwall Colts have reached the stretch run towards the 2015 Fred Page Cup. The Colts should have a deep playoff run with injuries healing and players (Zac Tierney and Ross Craig) returning from the World Junior “A” Hockey Challenge. The Fred Page Cup Eastern Canadian Championship is April 29th-May 3rd, 2015.

Planning is well underway for the 51st Cornwall Lions Club Sports Awards. Mark your calendars to watch the best that Cornwall sports community has to offer on Wednesday, May 13th. Word is the guest speaker will be announced soon.

The Cornwall Motor Speedway is venturing into snowmobile racing. The fan- friendly snowmobile racing circuit debuts at the quarter-mile fast track Jan 30-31 & Feb 1st.

If their summer program is any indication, the Cornwall Motor Speedway will ensure a fun, exciting event for fans of all ages.

Daniel Alfredsson says see you soon

By Terry Tinkess

I

t’s a day that everyone knew would someday come to pass, but when Daniel Alfredsson left the Ottawa Senators to become a member of the Detroit Red Wings, most felt his career would not end the way it should. He had ruffled a few feathers in his departure, and the word was that under the current ownership, “Alfie” would never again be a part of the team that on so many nights, he carried on his shoulders.

Ottawa, both on and off the ice, he got to “come home” to say goodbye.

On the morning of December 4, Alfredsson signed a one-day contract with Ottawa so that he could retire as a Senator. At a media conference held to showcase the event, he said he was overwhelmed.

“I’m extremely thankful to get this opportunity to come back and retire as an Ottawa Senator,” said Alfredsson with his family, friends and current members of the Ottawa Senators watching in a conference room at the Canadian Tire Centre. As Fortunately, time apparently to the future, it is too early to say. does heal all wounds and when it “It’s still so early on in this became apparent that nagging back process,” he said. “I’ve spent the problems would not allow him to be last few months trying to make it so a productive teammate, Alfredsson I could play another season. I don’t made the only decision he could and know what’s going to happen next prepared to enter into the next phase of week. I’m going to try and step back his life, that of a retired NHL’er. The and evaluate what the next chapter Senators, including owner Eugene is and I don’t have a good answer Melnyk, welcomed him back. (about the future) right now.”

Fortunately for Alfredsson, the The December 4th game against the Senators and every person to whom New York Islanders, which probably he meant so much during his time in would have had an announced

attendance of between 16,000 and 17,000 ended up as a sell-out, and as word of Alfredsson’s retirement spread, tickets to the game became the hottest ticket in town. Every one, it seemed, had an Alfie story, and wanted to be there when the man who was the Ottawa Senators told everyone it was really over.

Through his career, Alfredsson had been a polarizing player. At different times he was loved, then vilified and finally appreciated by the people who fill the seats, buy the jerseys or wave the flags. He is remembered as the rookie of the year in 1996, but also as the young captain who, when his leadership was questioned, offered to give up the “C” if that was what was best for the team.

He was the forward playing defense in 2006 who allowed Jason Pominville to get around him to score the goal that eliminated the Senators from the playoffs. He was the player who pasted Darcy Tucker into the boards, stole the puck and scored the game winning goal in game five of the 2002 playoffs against the Leafs.

He was one of the scapegoats when the Senators could not defeat the Maple Leafs in various Stanley Cup playoff matchups, but he was the player who scored against Buffalo in overtime in 2007 to send the Senators to their first and only appearance in the Stanley Cup Finals. He was also the player in 2013, who, when asked if he thought his team could come back from the hole they had dug themselves to win a playoff series against the Pittsburgh Penguins stated a matter-of-factly, “probably not.”

He was one of many players who routinely drove a snowmobile to practice on snowy winter days, an action that seemed to infuriate the Toronto media even more than feigning to throw a broken stick into the stands, mocking the actions of his good friend Mats Sundin, who did so absentmindedly and ended up with a suspension for his efforts.

Cornwall hockey fans were treated to some exciting, if a bit sloppy hockey during the 2012-2013 lockout year when a selection of NHL players, including Daniel Alfredsson, played an exhibition game at the Photo by Terry Tinkess Civic Complex.

He was also the player who became the face of the “You know who I am” campaign created by the Royal Ottawa Hospital to draw attention to the stigma associated with mental health issues.

The stories could go on, and on

7 and for everyone you hear, there are probably another five, or a hundred that, to many, are just as memorable.

Seventeen seasons. 1,246 regular season games, 444 goals. 1,157 total points and as many memories as any player in any sport could ever be expected to provide.

Now, his playing days are over, and many can’t help but wonder if he might make a return to the team in a different capacity.

Most knowledgeable hockey prognosticators agree that the departure of Alfredsson cost Erik Karlsson, his protégé, more than a year in terms of development, and Karlsson, more than anything, needs someone he is willing to trust and listen to.

And he is still among the most recognizable Senators, and he has roots, and family in Ottawa. His parting words would seem to leave the door open.

Let’s not say goodbye,” said Alfredsson, “It’s merci, à bientôt.”

(Thank you, see you soon.)

What ever happens, however, it was fitting that he got to skate around the ice one last time, a reminder that players, some of them at least, are more than just a part of the sum.

Happy New Year

Rookie of the Month Corinne Anderson

Roxmore Public School (Avonmore)

Corinne has been a great teammate with her NGS atom C Braves this season. The second-year atom was recently asked by her coaches to move from her familiar forward position to defence. Realizing she will probably sacrifice some individual point totals, she was happy to make the switch and help her team. With smart decision-making, solid positioning and accurate shots on net from the blueline, Corinne has stabilized the Braves’ lineup. Starting her hockey career as a senior IP player, Corinne has come a long way in her 5 seasons. She is very conscious of the mood of her teammates and is never shy to share kind words of encouragement if someone is down. Among her past awards are being named as Most Improved Player and Most Sportsmanlike Player. She has been invited on a few occasions to join her older sister Chloe’s team, NGS peewee C Braves, this season as an affiliate. One of her favourite memories is scoring a goal during a tournament in Kemptville as a call-up for the NGS novice B team two seasons ago. Corinne is an avid athlete who also thrives on the soccer pitch in the summer, with her Maxville GSL teammates. Away from the rink Corinne is a nature lover. She enjoys camping, fishing and hiking.

They played most of the last two minutes two players down. The defense was rock solid as was Hughes in nets making two highlight reel saves to send the game to overtime

The coach’s message was clear after the second. They needed to be responsible in their own zone and make sure the puck got out of the zone. Hughes had to be sharp and alert as Saratoga only mustered four shots total in the game.

What I wish for Boxing in 2015

By Jorge Luis

W

here is boxing going in 2015? Where does boxing stand? Boxing is a sport of survival. Survival brings hope.

Boxing despite all its misgivings always brings hope, often to those who have little or no hope. Boxing always reflects our changing times. Often we can see this in its champions and how they behave and the current political scene. Think Jack Dempsey and his sluggish style in the roaring twenties. Joe Louis, the quiet African American with explosive fists who ruled for 12 years and 25 title defenses, suffering prejudice in silence and yet was a symbol of hope and greatness. Defended his country and title with honor and grace like many of our young men and women who did the same and went off to war to defend against tyranny and to protect our freedom.

Think Muhammad Ali in the turbulent 60’s, who rebelled and brought with him a boxing style unseen by anyone as a heavyweight, and who spoke freely against oppression to his people and the Vietnam War. He did what he thought was right and along the way inspired a whole new generation of young people and athletes.

Think of athletes today like Floyd Mayweather…”Money” Mayweather. Where “Money” is, is what motivates and dictates his

and all actions of the world. It’s about “business”. Times change and boxing always reflects our changing times.

So here are some of my wishes for the New Year and what I am thankful for. First off I am thankful I live in Cornwall, Ontario in a community where our leaders still help out youth and allow us to occupy space at an old club house in a Park on Jarvis St. and see the good in keeping young people off the street in a hard-working environment and allow us to keep some dreams alive. Kudos to our recreational department and our city fathers and forefathers.

Thank you to my dedicated members who sweat and toil night after sweaty night to better themselves. Thank you to my competitors who teach me the meaning of never giving up. We only lose when we give up. For all those nights when we came short of victory in the ring, but held our heads high, shook hands with our opponents, shrugged, trained harder and asked for a rematch.

You are the future and hope of our young generation. Here’s to a year filled with hope, glory, victory and losses too, but victories outside the ring, in life as well.

Here’s wishing Champs Eastside Boxing a triumphant return to the frays of tournaments such as the Brampton Cup and for a local champ or two at the Canadian Golden Gloves to be held in Cornwall again this year. Represent us with honor and respect and may all our opponents know and feel they were in a fight. When you face someone from Champs Eastside Boxing you are in for a fight.

To Boxing Ontario and Boxing

Canada remember once again that success begins at the grass roots level and help out the clubs and coaches. Funding one athlete helps one athlete but helping a coach or club helps many more. Remember that the more your separate the coach from his athlete the less success we have on the national and international scale. Here’s hoping the brass will look at our past history and remember Shawn O’Sullivan and Willy DeWitt in the Olympics of 1984; Edgerton Marcus and Lennox Lewis in 1988 as well as Marc Leduc of Kingston in 1992 in addition to countless others who were all trained, funded and cornered by their personal hometown coach. Here’s wishing our brass and government will help fund the hometown clubs and coaches and our youth to greater heights, realizing that charity begins at home not at the top and having more administration.

Here’s hoping for a heavyweight champion from North America who captures our imagination and brings boxing back to network TV. Here’s hoping and wishing for more boxing on TV. If it’s on you will watch. And wishing and hoping it will inspire young people to become fans and be intrigued by the sport of Kings.

Last but not least here’s wishing that the super fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather finally takes place. Money is not an issue…the money is there and in place. The great champions of the past always wished to test themselves against the best of their time and took great pride in this and were well paid for doing it. The fighter should get paid the lion’s share, not the greedy

9

promoters.

Here’s wishing it will come together. My personal preference is Manny Pacquiao as much as I appreciate and respect Mayweather’s majestic skills.

Mayweather does not embody or represent what I would want any of my athletes at Champs to become and emulate in their personal lives even though I love the way he dictates policy and terms to the establishment and shark promoters of the game…he has overcome.

Here’s wishing for a national commission with uniform rules across the board for professional boxing to eliminate the alphabet soup of inept commissions and inept judging and corrupt promoters.

To Tony Luis, my son and world class professional…may the road to your dream be opened and you get your just reward and opportunities you have toiled and sweated for come to you. That you be rewarded both financially and with justice in the ring where it counts and matters and continue to be the role model and example by your actions that you are for the youth and everyone at Champs Eastside Boxing Club.

May you and the team at Champs; Tony, Tevin, Max, Neica, Leah, Mirin, Leland and Lane, assistant coaches Matt and Elaine…. you are the reason Champs Eastside Boxing is the little club that could and will. A note from Elaine…

Jorge may your passion and love of boxing continue to be the guiding light and ignite that spark for all that step into Champs. You are the solid foundation of Champs and develop the skills, talents and character of all that come through the door.

Yours in sport Jorge Luis

Simple Core Exercises To Kick Start A Healthy Spine performance yet are still perplexed as to what exactly the core is and how it works. For information on fundamental core biomechanics please refer to last month’s article. In this article we will review some basic core exercises that can be completed daily to effectively activate your core and encourage a strong and injuryfree spine.

Front Plank

Dr. Kylie Draper BMSc, DipAc, DC of Cornwall Spine Care Plus The ‘core’ is a complex series of musculature spanning the length and circumference of ones midsection.

These key spine stabilizing muscles run from the rib cage and lumbar spine down to the pelvic floor with many intricate insertions along the way.

In last month’s article I attempted to demystify the core, noting that many people are aware that a strong core is essential for injury prevention and

Side Plank

To do a proper side plank, lie on your side with your elbow directly underneath your shoulder. Make sure your body is in one straight line. With your abdominals gently contracted, lift your hips off the floor, as shown. Keep your hips square and your neck in line with your spine.

Hold 10-30 seconds, building up to 1 minute. Alternate sides and repeat.

If this is too challenging, start with bent knees.

The Modified Crunch

To do a proper front plank, start by lying on your stomach with your elbows tucked under your chest and shoulders. Lightly squeeze your abdominal muscles and then lift up on to your toes and forearms, as shown.

Make sure that your whole body is straight (like a plank!) and that your pelvis is neither lifted too far up or sagging too far down. Hold 10-30 Full sit-ups are not recommended for people with back pain, as they seconds, building up to 1 minute.

Sports Energy

put a lot of unnecessary strain on the intervertebral discs of the spine. A modified crunch, however, allows you to work your core while at the same time sparing disc integrity. To complete a modified crunch, lay on the floor with one leg bent and one straight, as shown.

Place one hand in the small of your back and the other over your abdomen.

Lightly lift your head and shoulders off the floor in to a crunch position. Use your one hand to ‘rake’ your abs (feel the muscular contraction of your core) while the other monitors low back position.

The low back should be ‘locked’ during the crunch and thus you should not feel the spine lift up away from your hand or push down in to your hand. Complete 3 sets of 10 repetitions.

For more information on core stabilization and spine health join us on Wednesday, February 4th @ 7pm for our “All About The Core” education night.

The event will be open to existing patients and the general public and will address several key tips to maintaining a healthy spine as well as include interactive core stabilization exercise demonstrations.

Our advertiser’s “Goal” is always to “Assist” their customers.

Continued from page 14 describe “Le Gros Bill,” many of them not usually associated with the game of hockey: classy, humble, quiet, humanity, grace, and elegance.

They all combined with the soul of a warrior to make up the man that many simply referred to as Mr. Beliveau, a man who created memories for so many people.

“The first time I met Jean Beliveau, I was only twelve year old,” says Wayne Gretzky. “I was playing in the Quebec pee wee tournament, and he came in the locker room and I remember just being mesmerized how nice he was and how tall he was and how big he was. I don’t know if the game will ever see another person like him.

“There’s such a premium on winning and this guy just won so many times. You know you always dream of winning the Stanley Cup and guys like Gordie Howe and Bobby Orr lifting the cup, but the one image we as kids in our era, because they seemed like they won it every second year, we remember Jean Beliveau lifting the Stanley Cup, and I don’t know if there has ever been a more gracious player both on the ice and off the ice as Jean Beliveau was. “ Geoff Molson, the Montreal Canadiens owner and president,

speaking to the media commented on the role model that Beliveau was.

“Whenever I bump into people outside of Montreal, his name comes up.

‘You know I don’t like the Montreal Canadiens, but I like Jean Beliveau.’

So, that says a lot, and I think our players recognize that as well. I heard them a little bit today as they were reacting to what’s happened, and to aspire to be anything close to Jean Beliveau is a great ambition.”

In his time with the Canadiens, Beliveau saw his name entered into the record books many times.

He spent 18 full seasons with the Canadiens from 1953-71. In 1,125 games, he scored 507 goals, added 712 assists and finished with 1,219 points. He played in 13 NHL All-Star Games, was a Hart Trophy winner as League MVP twice (1956 and 1964), captured the Art Ross Trophy as top scorer in 1956, and was the first winner of the Conn Smythe Trophy as MVP of the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 1965.

Even more impressive, Beliveau won ten Stanley Cup championships as a player and seven more as a senior executive in the Canadiens organization. His name is on the Stanley Cup more than any other individual. In his final game in the NHL, he hoisted the cup one last

time.

Beliveau is second all-time in Canadiens history in points and assists, third in goals, and fourth in games played. He became the fourth player in NHL history to reach 500 goals when he scored on Feb. 11, 1971, and was the second player in League history to score 1,000 points,

joining Gordie Howe of the Detroit Red Wings in that exclusive club on March 3, 1968, in his 911th game.

His 10-season run as captain, during which Montreal won the Stanley Cup five times, is tied with Saku Koivu’s as the longest in Canadiens history.

He was inducted into the Hockey Continued on page 21

Zaché Gauthier is enjoying a remarkable season with the NGS atom C Braves. As of December 20, the first-year atom led the Lower-St. Lawrence League with 26 points in 13 games. Gauthier has chipped in a lot of those points while playing as a forward for the Braves, but has also patrolled the blue line as a defenceman, where he started the season.

A summer full of stick-handing practice at home has led to a lot of highlight-reel goals on the ice this winter. Gauthier has also been very receptive to taking in all information provided by his coaches, and has yet to miss any ice times scheduled by his team. A truly dedicated athlete with great sportsmanship.

Seaway Valley Rapids Minor Atom Submitted by Johanne Sullivan

T

he Seaway Valley Rapids minor atom team opened a busy weekend against the top-ranked Gloucester Rangers (white) on Friday, December 5, 2014, at the Benson Centre. Although, the Rapids got off to a great start and were pressuring Gloucester, the Rangers were the only team to score in the first period. The Rangers scored again in the second period and again in the third period on a power play. With the Rangers up 3-0, Carey Terrance, Jr. scored in the closing seconds of the game on an assist from Braxton D’alessio for a final score of 3-1.

The Rapids played at home again on Saturday, December 6. The Rapids were looking to end a two-game losing skid against the visiting Nepean Raiders. It was a game that saw no scoring until the third period, when the Raiders scored.

Ethan Montroy scored unassisted to tie things up for the Rapids. In the final two minutes of the game, Carey Terrance, Jr. got the go-ahead goal on a pass from Jett Jock. The final score was 2-1 for the Rapids and it ended the team’s drought.

The Rapids played again at home

on Sunday, December 7, against the Eastern Ontario Cobras. After winning the day before, the Rapids were playing with more confidence. The Rapids’s Jock scored within the first minute of play on an assist from D’alessio. The Rapids then took advantage of a power play in the second period when Montroy got the rebound after defenseman Josh Esford blasted it from the blue line. The Cobras, however, also took advantage of two power plays when they were able to score each time. The game was tied going into the third period. In the opening minute of the third period, Esford got the puck during a face-off, he carried the puck and blasted it to make the score 3-2.

The Cobras were not deterred and scored halfway through the third to tie it up. Net minder, Connor Fox, made some terrific saves during the game to keep the game tight. The Rapids’s Terrance then got the go-ahead goal in the final seconds of the game when he and Jock connected.

A little more than midway through the season, the Rapids are tied for second in the league with a record of 11-3-3 for total of 25 points

hen Sports Energy caught up to Carly McPhail, she had just completed playing into two basketball games and had just arrived at the Seaway Karate class where she both teaches and learns. She is, to say the least, a busy young woman with a very bright future.

Currently in her final year of high school at Rothwell-Osnabruck in Ingleside, she is enjoying being a part of a very successful Lancers senior girls basketball team and is looking forward to participating in the OFSSA “A” championship tournament, which being hosted by RO November 2022, 2014.

When she isn’t playing basketball, Carly’s other love is Karate, and she has been a member of the Seaway Karate Club for seven years. She was awarded her black belt after passing eleven katas at the World Kobuto Confederation, and is recognized as a Sensei, teaching at many of the different age levels that make up the club. Her strength, according to Sensei Jim Riddell, is in her kicking, and she has (deservedly) become a role model for many of the younger students in the class.

Carly was inducted this year into the South Stormont Sports Hall of Fame (student category.)

St. Vincent De Paul benefits from Colts charity game Submitted article The Cornwall Colts along with the Benson Group and several local personalities raised $720 and collected more than 350 pounds of food for the St. Vincent De Paul Society.

The money and non-perishable food was donated at the second annual charity hockey game held at the Benson Centre.

“The Colts organization is more than happy to assist St. Vincent de Paul especially heading into the Christmas season,” said Colts owner and head coach Ian MacInnis. “It’s an opportunity for us to give back to the Greater Cornwall & Areas Community Sports Newspaper community.”

Sport is often referred to as a pleasant diversion, a sort-of make-believe world that we let intrude into our day-to-day lives every so often. There are, however many people who, through their actions both in their respective games and away from them made a real impact on a great many lives. We lost quite a few of these people this year.

This month, we’d like to know which of the sports celebrities who left us in 2014 meant the most to you and what is your richest memory of them?

Robert Walker

Jim Riddell

Seaway Karate Club

To lose our childhood heroes is always difficult, and when it happens we usually think of their sporting achievements but there are some that use their influence far beyond their sport.

For me, the loss of Jean Beliveau means the most. I was fortunate as a young child to be able to watch him play and even then I could see not only his talent but also his commitment to his teammates and the game.

After retirement, I would hear of his various charitable activities and his continued relationship with the people of Quebec, none of which ever seemed like an obligation to him. Class and respect, he embodied these words and his teammates and competitors said the same. We should all try to live by those words. The gentleman shall be missed but remembered.

Of the sport celebrities who left us in 2014, the one that I found the most interesting was Rubin “Hurricane” Carter. A highly skilled middleweight contender from Patterson, New Jersey, Carter was wrongly convicted of triple homicide at the top of his boxing career and spent nineteen years in prison before being exonerated.

During this time Carter had the support of many athletes, entertainers and politicians. Several books were written, a song by Bob Dylan, which he played at every concert became popular, and a movie starring Denzel Washington was an award winner.

After his release Carter moved to Toronto and was often in the news working in a high profile position for an association defending the wrongly accused. Carter was also in demand as a motivational speaker.

My memory of Rubin Carter is not of a particular happening, but rather the longevity and diversity of his story. For a period spanning more than fifty years, Rubin “Hurricane” Carter was in the news on a fairly regular basis.

Baseball lost one of its greatest ambassadors on February 6, 2014 when Ralph Kiner passed away at the age of 91. A home run hitter for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians, Kiner made his greatest impression on people from the broadcast booth.

As a kid, baseball was my sport. I lived in northern New York for a while, and it only made sense to cheer for either the Mets or the Yankees, and since the Mets were the underdog, they became my team. I, like so many others, had no idea that they would go on to win the 1969 World Series, defeating the powerhouse Baltimore Orioles.

I knew all their names and collected all their cards: Agee, Seaver, Harrelson, Koosman, McGraw and all the rest. I watched them on Canadian Press Correspondent TV as players, but it was Ralph Kiner who introduced them to me as people. He was a gentleman who had been around the Mets from their first spring training in 1962 and he had stories he could tell about every player who ever wore the blue and orange. In a world that didn’t have 24/7 sports programming, he made them real.

I had no idea back then that I would end up following a career path in journalism, but a lot of what I learned about dealing with average people with above average skills I learned from listening to Ralph Kiner. He earned respect by giving respect. He made any group he joined better, and I have tried to follow that example.

Pat Quinn: He’ll always be remembered

t’s that time again: the Cornwall Minor Hockey Association Winterfest Bantam and Midget “B” Rep tournament will be taking place at the Benson Centre from January 29-February 1, 2015.

This will be the 53rd year for the tournament, and as always it will feature a selection of teams, some local, some not, but they will all have the same goal: to play hard, have a great time, and maybe, just maybe finish off the weekend with a trophy.

Teams from the Cornwall Minor Hockey Association will be trying their hardest to make sure visiting teams leave with lots of pleasant memories but that the hardware stays at home!

For most teams, they are heading into the final part of their regular season, so this tournament can serve multiple purposes, depending upon

how their year has gone so far.

For a team that has been putting up lots of wins, it is a chance to try different line combinations, or simply just work at getting better, knowing that their playoff season is fast approaching.

For a team that hasn’t been winning a lot, it can be a chance to press the reset button. Every team is guaranteed three games, and if you happen to get a bounce of two you could end up doing well. It wouldn’t be the first time that the confidence gained by playing well at a tournament could help a team turn around their season, just in time to play playoff spoilers.

Alain Savard, who coaches the bantam “B” team has just that in mind.

After having played 16 games of a 24game schedule, the Cornwall bantam “B” Colts are in fourth place in their division with a record of 5-7-4. Savard reports that his team has been playing well. They were finalists in two

Wensink returns, along with Bruins Alumni for charity game

By Marc Benoit

F

ans of the Boston Bruins were star-struck on an early December Saturday night, when the Boston Bruins alumni roster descended upon Akwesasne for a charity match against the Akwesasne Mohawks, a team made up of local hockey players. The A’nowara’ko:wa arena held around more than 500 retro hockey fans, who watched the former stars of the NHL score six goals against the home Akwesasne squad.

The Bruins stars included Terry O’Reilley, Rick Middleton, Ken Linseman, Ray Bourque and Cornwall’s own John Wensink.

Wensink, known as “Moose” during his junior hockey days, was born north of Cornwall in Maxville, Ontario. where he grew into a powerful junior hockey enforcer before entering into the NHL with a reputation as a tough guy who could also put the puck in the net.

John Wensink with his physical play and willingness to drop the gloves created a lot of space for his teammates on the Royals.

Ignite the Night to take snowshoe racers through 1860

By Terry Tinkess

J

anuary 10, 2015 will be a night of bright lights at Upper Canada Village in every sense of the word because it will be the night of the first Ignite the Night snowshoe race.

The DION Ignite the Night Snowshoe Race is an exciting new race in the Dion eastern Ontario Snowshoe Running Series and will be held at Upper Canada Village, near Morrisburg, Ontario. This is the first race of the 2015 Dion Eastern Ontario Snowshoe Running Series.

The race is scheduled to take place at 6:00 .m. with race-day registration from 4:30 – 5:45 p.m. at the Harvest Barn at Upper Canada Village.

There will actually be three different events combined in the one, the “main event” being the 10 kilometre Dion Points Series Race. There will also be the five kilometre challenge (no series points awarded) and the children’s fun-run (there are 35 pair of free-to-loan kids snowshoes.)

Gilles Parisien is one of the organizers of the Ignite the Night race as well as being one of five board members for Snowshoe Canada. He says interest in snowshoe racing in this area is high and this event should

only increase interest.

“Upper Canada Village and area has always been an area I love,” says Parisien. “SDG has been an area hot bed of sort for snowshoe racers, since the addition of the snowshoe trails in the Summerstown Forest 6 years ago. It proved to me that if you give people a place to play they will come.

“This additional race at UCV with the lights was designed to introduce new people to the sport. I’m extremely passionate about snowshoeing and wanted a place that would help attract snowshoers and believe the magical lights at Upper Canada Village will be the place.

The course itself should be magical!

It features a five kilometre loop (two loops for 10 kilometres) snowshoe run touring Upper Canada Village and its “Alight at Night Christmas lights. This will be an experience that transports you back in time to the 1860’s. The annual Alight at Night Festival this year runs from December fifth to January third, but the Parks of the St. Lawrence have agree d to keep the lights on for this race, making it a true winter wonderland!

The popularity of snowshoe racing is apparent from this photo taken at the second annual Dion Snowshoe race at the Summerstown Forest in January 22014. The runners are still bunched a few seconds after the start

perfect postcard setting! Having close to one million lights adorning the heritage buildings, trees and fences creates a one-of-a-kind magical backdrop for this first annual snowshoe race.

Once you leave the outside area of the village you need to be wearing a headlamp to locate the single track open field flagged course.

Karate Komments - Reaching a Plateau

By Jim Riddell, Seaway Karate Club

K

arate is a martial art, or sport, which has a beginning, an intermediate period, but no ending. Karate is something that, if one chooses, can be participated in for a lifetime. For some this journey is a smooth and incident free one, for others, a few stumbling blocks are encountered along the way.

When starting karate classes, the ultimate long-term goal of most beginners is to achieve the rank of Black Belt. Unfortunately, of all beginning students, far less than one per cent will ever make it to that level. The reasons for dropping out are numerous: education, family and employment commitments, marriage, divorce, and re-location to name just a few.

For some others the roadblocks come during the classes, somewhere in the four to five year period of constant training that it will take the

committed student to earn that Shodan rank (first degree black belt).

During the beginning to intermediate phase, which takes approximately one and a half years, everything is new, and progress is easily recognized. This is the period where the foundation is put in place, the drills, skills, and techniques are learned and then built on. Once in the intermediate zone, the time between grading’s, or belt testing will increase, there will seem to be less new material to learn, and more time is spent on refinement of technique.

Progress at this point is most definitely being made; it is seen by the instructor, but is not nearly as easily noticed by the student. At the level of green to blue belt most martial artists have acquired enough knowledge, skill, and experience that they can occasionally begin to mentor a few beginning students. Some will see the value in and enjoy this level of development, will remain inspired and continue to progress without difficulty. For others the lustre that once was has faded, the improvements that are being made go unnoticed and training becomes

points series 10 kilommetre race.

Spectators, of course are welcome and there is no admission charge so you are encouraged to come out and watch this unique event.

The Harvest Barn will be available for registration, washrooms, awards ceremony and to stay warm when not racing and there will be plenty of parking. Follow the signs to the Harvest Barn in the Village.

For those that don’t own a pair of snowshoes, there are a limited Continued on page 26

somewhat of a grind.

The reasons for this happening are usually different for each individual, but regardless of what caused this to happen, a plateau has been reached. This is also often referred to as being in “a slump,” or “hitting a wall.” Whatever you call it, it happens.

These plateau’s are not uncommon, but must be dealt with as soon as possible. It is important that the student recognizes and admits that there is an issue, and that the cause is identified and discussed with the instructor. An experienced instructor will have seen this problem many times before and will assist in getting thru this period.

Maintaining a proper attitude, staying focused and training hard will all become worthwhile when that next belt is earned. Having the perseverance to overcome these “dips” will help to boost selfconfidence and develop mental toughness that will help to overcome future obstacles not only in the martial arts but in life as well.

Karate Quote: If you ever have thoughts of quitting – remember why you started.

presents “A look at our Sports History” This month, Dulux Paints would like to remember Bob Taylor, who passed away suddenly Nov 29, 2014 at the age of 81.
