With the kids staying back with their billet families, I took the opportunity to look around Quebec City and get in a little souvenir shopping. The old city is really beautiful - very European feel with old stone buildings and narrow cobblestone streets. There are pubs and bistros all around and little boutique shops. It would probably be a better place to visit in the summer month(s), when there is not slushy snow on the ground or brisk wind blowing. I am not quite sure what all the boys did today - I believe that there was talk of getting some of the boys together for a pond hockey game (which it was a beautiful day to do it...snow stopped and the sun was out). A few of the boys went to their "billet brother's" hockey game. But I am sure that whatever they all did, they are having a good time.
Tonight we will all be meeting together to watch the Legend's game. From my understanding of this game and the men who will be taking the ice - they all played in the Quebec International PeeWee Tournament when they were all 11-13 years old. Several of the Legends who accepted the invitation to participate are; Guy Lafleur, Arthur Quoquocchi, Real Cloutier, Gaetan Boucher, Pat LaFontaine, Mario Lemieux, Sylvain Cote, Joe Juneau, Manon Rheame, Gilbert Perrault, Pierre Lacroix, Pierre Larouche, Mario Gosselin, Patrick Poulin, Yves Racine, Florent Fortier, Pat flatley, Pierre Turgeon, Mark messier, Gilles Lavasseur, Craig Wolanin, Steve Larmer, Ron Tugnutt and Walter Gretzky as honorary coach. I plan on having my camera there (and a few sharpies...just incase).
Hope all is going well at home...we will see you all very soon!
