PANCAKE BREAKFASTS

The Adam Harlow Fellowship Fund held four fundraiser breakfasts last month at the North Grenville Municipal Centre. Our greatest thanks go to Bill Osborne Buick GMC for the sponsorship again this year. Thanks also to the Bulk Barn for their donations, which collectively helped to raise enought profit to sponsor at least 3 children in the up-coming 2010-2011 hockey year.

Our appreciation as well to the Atom C Team A Wolverines from Nepean, who graciously donated $100.00 to the Fund, even though the Fund does not benefit their area. Also thanks to Linda Cheff for her generous donation of $100.00.

A very warm and heartfelt thanks to all who helped make these events the successes that they were. And of course the volunteers... without your commitment and hard work, we could never achieve these accomplishments.

Adam School Pictures

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.

Adam Harlow Trophy

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”.
