“The hockey season for the Ascension Collegiate Astros is now complete and as we reflect on a very successful year highlighted by winning the provincial championship we must attribute this success, in no small measure, to the “Coca-Cola” Classic Moncton experience. The experience for us was positive in every aspect and the memories are still very clear. They include:
– The prompt and friendly reception at the airport; – the courteous and accommodating staff at the host hotel; – the excitement of the skills’ competition; – the spirited and fair competition of the games and the opportunity to play in your beautiful Coliseum; – the genuine friendliness of the staff at the Coliseum and the willing help of anyone wearing a “Coca-Cola” Classic sweater; ….. Mesdames et Messieurs, please be assured that participation in a tournament of this magnitude has immeasurable positive consequences for a team. We here at Ascension Collegiate sincerely thank you.”
-Keith Vokey, Head Coach, Ascension Collegiate, Bay Roberts, Newfoundland
