NHL dream comes true for Glebites Kuffner and Véronneau

By Marina Rowbotham

Best friends and Princeton graduates Ryan Kuffner and Max Véronneau, both from the Glebe, are bound to see some action in the big leagues this season. The 23-year-olds made their NHL debuts last March after signing two-year entry-level contracts – Kuffner with the Detroit Red Wings and Véronneau with the Ottawa Senators. After attending NHL training camp this fall, both players were sent down to the AHL but will likely be called back up at some point during the season. Kuffner and Véronneau learned to skate when they were little more than toddlers. Kuffner’s father Joe built a tiny backyard rink, complete with red and blue lines and circles. Kuffner and his younger brother Brendan spent hours on the rink. Their mother Deb

He praised Detroit as an “unbelievable” organization – “so professional and so welcoming” – and said it’s the place he wanted to be. He admires the team’s history and believes the support he gets will make him a better player.

I didn’t want to make this very big trip. While I’m passionate about nature and was keen to visit some storied national parks, I wanted to do it in shorter bursts: fly west, rent a car and see selected destinations. But I acquiesced to my hus- band’s pleas. The trip was his “forever dream” and he wanted to do it with me. I’m glad I agreed. Our 12,000-plus- kilometer, six-week summertime journey On the Alcan Highway was filled with memorable moments. Canada’s national parks are treasures. We hiked at Kluane National Park in the Yukon and traversed Rogers Pass which snakes through four mountain parks on the way from Revelstoke to Golden, BC. We camped at Banff, Waterton Lakes, Grasslands and Pukaskwa National Parks. We got kitted out with bear bells (which we used) and bear spray (which, thankfully, we never had to use). We took bracing hikes to glorious views. In Banff, the mountains, glaciers and turquoise lakes were stunning. In Water- ton, the mountains, post-burn forest and waterfalls were majestic. Grasslands was very different but special – rolling grass prairies, cacti, vast vistas topped with huge skies, prairie dog colonies, songbirds and birds of prey, badgers and bison. Pukaskwa on Lake Superior combines classic Group of Seven land- scape with the beautiful starkness of a Colville painting. We travelled the historic 2,200-kilo- meter Alaska Highway (also known as the Alaska-Canadian or Alcan Highway) from its easternmost point at Dawson Creek, BC as far as Disaster Bay, Yukon.

Mastering time is not the same as time management. It’s not learning to get more out of a limited 24-hour day. Mastering time is realizing that real life does not actually occur within a time framework at all, and time is powerless to limit life. Exercise your God-given freedom from the relentless limits of time including age, aging, stress, inefficiency, frustration, past mistakes and missed opportunities.

Bhat Boy’s painting, “Great Glebe Fire, November 7, 1999,” commemorates a devastating fire that happened in the Glebe on First and Second avenues, spreading rapidly and wiping out 13 homes, displacing some 30 people. Arson was suspected. The fire brought forth a Glebe Fire Relief group that mobilized community support for the victims in the form of clothing, toys, a trust fund, fundraising, organizing temporary homes, copying photos that included fire victims and more.
