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 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.

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”.
