Every year things keep getting better and 2009 was no exception.   On Friday June 26 I was at the Bell Centre in Montreal along with my son Wes, Dawn Braid and her husband Robert as John Tavares was selected #1 overall in the NHL Entry Draft.  I cannot describe the emotions at that moment but my memories flowed back to September 2004 when John first showed up on my doorstep.  It was mere days before his 14th birthday and he wanted to train with me.  Five years and hours and hours of work in the gym and on the ice and John was realizing his dream.  I recall a car ride home from a Milton IceHawk practice in late 2004.  John was telling me how he planned to help his parents once he reached the NHL.  I replied what if you are not drafted and he looked me in the eyes and said “...c’mon Rich”.  It has been quite the journey and it is only part way done as a great NHL future lies ahead.

Matt Moulson signed in the off-season with the Islanders and is having a breakout season teaming with long time workout buddy Tavares.  Wojtek Wolski is on pace to have his best NHL season to date in both goals and assists.  After being out of hockey for two years Victor Oreskovich made the Florida Panthers.

August – the Canadian National Women’s Rugby Team (ranked 4th in the World) chose the ATC to hold a 3 week training camp while participating in a 4 nation tournament in Oakville.  Chris Corbeil was drafted 14th overall in the National Lacrosse League entry draft.
 
September – three ATC athletes made OHL teams directly from midget hockey.  Brandon Alderson (Sarnia), Braeden Corbeth & Julian Luciani (Belleville).  Alderson’s play has gotten him on the NHL ranking for the 2010 entry draft.   A record number of ATC athletes entered University (NCAA & CIS) to continue their playing at the next level.  Lindsay Sparks, Domenic Monardo, Jeremy Welsh, Chris Moulson, Braden Birch, Zack Shepley, Luke Turcotte, Brent McGrail, Nicholas Soubry, Katie Jamieson, Krystyna Bellisario, Paige Goloubef, Sasha Nanji, Kathryn Miller, Kristin Maton, Luke Moodie.
