HISTORY IS IN WHAT TOMORROW BRINGS TO THE PAST

The title of this micro-article is a think about it and since our last publication in this section, several years have passed. How do we remember the past and how do we interpret it? Our memories embellish certain moments just as they can tarnish them. What we think is so important can go unnoticed by the majority of others. So the story of a season is unique to everyone and what better idea than delving into the articles published over the years since the beginning of the LFA for a better understanding ? This is what we invite you to do to get a better idea of how the story was written and who the protagonists were. As the prelude to this section indicates, you will be able to relive the best moments of the LFA since its beginnings. To find out who were the first champions of the first regular season or those of the ultimate championship. Flying over names tattooed in your memories. You will be able to see the time that stretches across the faces of your friends and relive important moments of your life and those of the people with whom you share it. The platform of the eternals is now a reality, it's up to you to build the rest of the story..... Sounds better in French ;)

You will find all this and more in our LFA Journal https://www.lfahockey.com/journallfa-fr with the English version not has complete here https://www.lfahockey.com/journallfa-en

Good reading !

THE COVID YEAR

THE COVID YEAR

As every year, I take stock of the last season spent together with the highlights of the regular and summer calendars. Normally, this is an exercise I do on Labor Day while the uniforms are drying, that I’m dealing with special requests while shaping the teams that will form the new season. This year is an exception in many regards and it’s in the midst of a second lockdown that I approach this text without quite knowing where I am headed on my keyboard.

THE STORY OF THE GAME THE TIME OF A SEASON

"Wait until I remember," said ti-poil aka René Levesque ex Quebec prime minister.. Well this is the exercise that I give myself at the end of each season to share stories of people, facts and events that marked the last regular season spent together. By "last season" I mean that of 2018-2019 as our summer seasons pass in a flash and are rarely as eventful except some championship games (including the last one) which that were very exciting to say the least.

THE YEARS OF TRADES

THE YEARS OF TRADES

As we mark this third year season of operations for the league with our annual pre-season barbeque, I strongly believed we had reached a certain level of maturity and that this season would be the best to date. Given the past season saw us host Montreal’s first REAL Winter Classic, and the first relay game in international hockey history, I write these lines with a certain bad taste from my experience in charge of the LFA.

THE LFA, THE YEAR THAT WAS.....

THE LFA, THE YEAR THAT WAS.....

The on-ice activities of the first season of the LFA are barely over with a series of three games to see in action our young (and not so young) recruits who want to join our league that its time to look back at the last few months. I’m sitting in front of my screen for my first Saturday without any responsibility or problems to resolve. It’s a dead calm....

I love hockey in all of its forms, the rich history, the passions it provokes. The self-expression, the teamwork, the camaraderie. Organizing this sport also brings some joys, but it’s also a burden that can be difficult to bear at times. That’s why I am so happy to get to this summer pause as hockey boss, if I can frame our Saturday games in such terms. It’s a job I’ve held for 15 years, going back to the HOCKEY BROTHERHOOD where many of our players come from.
