Golden Opportunity
Prime Minister Harper meeting our boys
Our Durham Attack 14U boys went on their first road trip of their club volleyball careers this past weekend. They travelled to Ottawa for a tough tournament and they again emerged with the Gold medal, their second in two outings.
It turned out to be a special weekend for the boys and their parents. Not only did they go on their first road trip together, which is so important for team bonding and development, but they also had a chance to meet our Prime Minister. Their gold medal match was watched by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his wife Laureen, whose son plays on the Ottawa Fusion team that battled us in pool play and in the finals.
As parents we relish the time we are able to spend with our kids, cheering them on, in the sports that they love. As we know the Harper family did today. With their busy schedules their time is extremely limited. So we truly appreciate the time that Prime Minister Harper spent with our boys after the match, getting to know them and taking some photos with our parents.
And we wish the Ottawa Fusion team the best of luck in the future – they are a great team and we’re sure we will meet many times this season.
