GOLF TOURNAMENT
Many thanks to the North Grenville Sports Hall of Fame for their
generous donation of $1500.00. The money was raised during a golf
tournament held at the Rideau Glen Golf Course in Kemptville on May 15.
Thank you to all that participated. This donation will go a long way to
help the kids of Kemptville continue to play hockey when they would
otherwise not have that opportunity.
PANCAKE BREAKFASTS
MARCH 2011
During the month of March, the Adam Harlow Fellowship
Fund held four pancake breakfast fundraisers in correspondence with
three KDMHA
tournaments held at the North Grenville Municipal Centre. The
Initiation tournament was named the Adam Harlow IP Funday. We are very
honoured by this association! Below Bob and Lajla with Spartacat at the
official puck drop.

We would particularly like to express our sincere gratitude
to Bill Osborne Chevrolet Buick GMC for sponsoring two of these breakfasts.
This is the third consecutive year that we have been supported by Bill Osborne.
Thanks to Bulk Barn for their continued support, and Linda Cheff and Ron Donnelly
for their generous donation. Let’s not forget Grahame’s Bakery for the goodies
they sent, too! And a very special thanks to Angie Kirk and Neil Whyte for
their outstanding work on behalf of the Fund over the past many years. Your
absence will be greatly missed.
During all four breakfasts, the Fund sold tickets for a
signed hockey jersey from Johnathan Toews of the Chicago Blackhawks. Thanks so
very much Archie Hill for this donation. As a result the Fund raised $335. Other
donations we received came from the Novice B-1 team ($100), the Adam Harlow IP
Funday ($1,000), and bequests from Roger St. Martin ($725) and Sean Doyle ($70).
Thank you everyone for your generosity and continued
support.

Adam Harlow died tragically
on March 24, 2002 at the tender age of ten.
He began playing hockey in
1999 for the Kemptville Panthers and, like many children, suffered from
low self esteem. In 2001, a very noticeable improvement came
over him
when he was chosen as his team's only goalie. This change was directly
attributed to the camaraderie and team spirit provided by his team
mates and the game of hockey, which became his greatest passion in life.
In 1999 both Adam and his
best friend decided to join the
Kemptville District Minor Hockey
League to play on the same
team. After registration, Adam called his buddy and was
very discouraged to hear that his friend's family could not afford the
high registration fees and therefore could not play. A very touching
moment occurred when Adam innocently
turned to
his mother and asked if she could pay his friend's
registration fees, too.
As a tribute, the
"Adam Harlow Fellowship Fund" was created to help
give Kemptville District children who would not otherwise be
able to play hockey, the opportunity to learn and continue to
enjoy the sport by financing their hockey registration fees.
Donations are welcome in
supporting this very worthy cause.

Adam Harlow
Trophy
The Ottawa
International Hockey Festival,
more commonly known as the Bell Capital Cup, takes place in arenas
throughout the Ottawa area each year in late December to early January.
It began in 1999
and showcases the
talents of Atom and PeeWee aged players around the world.
Through time the tournament has grown to become the largest of its kind
in the
world today.
In addition to the regularly
scheduled games there is a Skills Competition and an All
Star Game for all competition levels.
The
All Star Games award three stars per game with trophies for:
- best
defenceman
- best forward
- best goalie
It
is a great honour that this prodigious tournament has chosen to
name the best goalie award after Adam, and called it the
“Adam Harlow
Trophy”.
