turned back. “Kyle was a first round draft pick (53rd overall in 2007) and had some decisions to make about taking the pro route or going to college on a full ride scholarship,” St. Jules said. “Kyle passed on school and paid his dues and tooks some lumps in minor ball, including coming back and dominating from a potential career-ending elbow surgery. Kyle’s comeback and complete domination for Canada landed him a spot on the Reds’ 40-man roster for next season. “It’s Kyle’s attitude that brought him back bigger, stronger and better than ever.” St. Jules says Lotzkar is living proof in the old saying, “believe and achieve.” Lotzkar will be at BodyNetix (2260 Cousins Rd., Courtenay) on Friday, Dec. 9 from 3-4 p.m. “Your $5 donation to the food bank and any non-perishable food items and/or clean blankets and clothing gets you in the door to meet and hear Kyle speak about the road to the big leagues, playing for your country, goal setting, visualization, staying on track, overcoming obstacles and how to avoid the most common situations
teenage athletes face, particualrly Grade 9-12,” St. Jules said. “Kyle will also be signing hats, clothing, balls and what have you so bring your gear. With your $5 donation you will also receive a free trial session in the Wednesday afternoon youth athlete development program at BodyNetix. Parents are also encouraged to come down and meet this rising star and will
have the option to participate in a BodyNetix class.” On Saturday, Dec. 10 Lotzkar will be in Comox at the Purple Onion Deli (146 Port Augusta Ave.) from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and invites friends and fans to come down for a bowl of soup and sandwich. He will be taking time for photo opportunities and signings. A small cash donation, non-perishable food
items, clean blankets and clothing is encouraged. St. Jules said both BodyNetix and the Purple Onion will match the money and food raised for the food bank. This is the second time Lotzkar has come to the Comox Valley to raise food, money and awareness for those less fortunate in what is a very difficult time for many families during the holidays.
