More of Our Great Game

We just published the winners of our 2010 Hockey Contest in the April/May issue of Our Canada. There were so many great stories and we will hopefully be publishing more soon, but in the meantime, here are a few more runners-up!

Our Hockey Heritage

It was great fun reading all your hockey experiences from across the country. Many stories stood out, but none as much as our three winners and honourable mention.

First Place:
“Good Old Hockey Days” by Paul Huemiller of Kitchener.
Prize: $600

Second Place:
“Imagining the Game” by Brian Pounder of Orillia, Ont.
Prize: $400

Third Place:
“Call me Coach” by Bert Brazeau of Timmins, Ont.
Prize: $200

Honourable Mention:
“Kiwi Hockey Convert” by Heather McCabe, Sudbury

Though it was a writing contest, we also received some great photos that we published alongside the winning stories, one of them by Darla Galley of Kanata, Ont., that captured the joy of hockey through a bunch of Atom A boys. From left to right: Etienne Laroche, Joshua Sylvain, Justin Cloutier, Patrick Cloutier and Thomas Desveaux.

    Thank you all for your great stories. It was a lot of fun (and tough work) reading all the contest entries. Thankfully most of the editors here at Our Canada are hockey fans! - OC editor Johanna
