Kitchener, ON - Anthony Jacques experienced a "homecoming" this past November that he won't soon forget!  The Quebec native participated in a referee exchange program that brought him back to the City of Kitchener, the very city where he attended university just a few years ago.

Accompanying Anthony on the exchange was his brother Maxime and Yannick Brasseur.  All three refereed games in the Kitchener Blueline Tournament as part of a reciprocal exchange program that also saw 3 Kitchener Officials travel to Granby, Quebec.  Matt Karley, Nick Gouthro and Brett Steele completed their part of the exchange officiating 9 games in the 40th Anniversary Granby Tournament, January 28-30, 2010.  "Their hospitality was way above our expectations!  The hockey was awesome and the camaraderie was a great experience.  We look forward to doing this again!", exclaimed Matt Karley.

 

Congratulations to all involved including the referees, the exchange program organizers and the tournament Hosts!
