St. Charles College Hockey Hopeful- One to Watch For

Posted on June 19, 2012 by admin

He’s just a fourteen year-old St. Charles College student but he’s already dreaming big. Cameron Lizotte hopes to one day see his NHL jersey grace the walls of the St. Charles College gymnasium and he’s hoping his big break next month might put those wheels in motion.

Lizotte has been selected as one of the top 42 bantam-aged hockey players in Canada by the National Hockey League Players’ Association hosted by former NHLer Gary Roberts. The title means he has been invited to the second annual Allstate All-Canadian Mentorship Camp working with some of the best in the NHL.

Cameron says many of the players who participate in the program become first round draft picks in the Western and Ontario Hockey Leagues when they turn fifteen years of age.

Lizotte is one of two northern Ontario boys participating in the Mentorship Camp from July 17th to the 21st. The other is Blake Speers of Sault Ste. Marie. The week will conclude with an exhibition game that will be broadcast nationally on TSN Saturday, July 21st at 1 p.m.

Lizotte currently plays for the Copper Cliff Redmen. In August, he’ll represent Team Canada’s under-16 team in Austria.

St. Charles Cardinals Take On the Wolves

Posted on February 15, 2012 by admin

It’s not everyday that high school kids get to challenge the Wolves at a game of hockey. On February 14th, Life Skills students at St. Charles College went head-to-head with four members of the Wolves team for a couple friendly rounds of floor hockey.

Classroom teacher James Suchoplas organized the event. “Events like this build special memories for the students whether they are fans of hockey or not. It’s also an important lesson in being a team player and a way for the kids to showcase their school/team spirit.”

Wolves player Ryan Hanes says “It’s a win-win situation for the kids and us players to come in and give a little back to the community that we play for.”

The boy’s Senior Hockey team won the Nippissing District Association tournament in North Bay on the weekend of December 2-4th.

The boys had a round robin record of 2-0-1 which gave them a birth in the quarter finals versus the Scollard Hall Bears. The boys won the game 6-4 which lead to a semi-final game versus the Franco Cite Patriotes.

SCC Student Leaves His Mark at St. Charles College, Staff Pitches In

Posted on May 15, 2006 by admin

The St. Charles College football changeroom has gone through a major renovation. Matt Dumont, a Cards football player since 2002 came up with the idea of building individual lockers for the players in the football changeroom. He began designing the lockers with the help of the woodworking teacher, Mr. Baxter, in November 2005. Their design called for 43 individual booths.

Construction began in February 2006. Matt spent many hours of his own time on this project. Matt has truly left a legacy to his school. In his honour, a permanent plaque commemorating his efforts was installed in the changeroom. Many future Cardinal football players will now enjoy the luxury of sitting in their own personal booths in the locker area.

In addition to Matt’s contributions, special thanks also goes to the following; the Sudbury Catholic District School Board Maintenance Department, St. Charles College Custodial Staff (especially Mr. Louis Chretien and Mr. Rick Boudreau), Mr. L. Baxter, James Rand-student, Mrs. Dagostino (Athletic Director), Mrs. Mardero (Principal) and to the Friends of St. Charles College Football for their continued financial support. A very special thank you goes to Head Coach, Mike Fabiilli for his continuous commitment to the SCC Football program.

The Cards are now starting to prepare for their upcoming season in hope of capturing its 20th Senior Football championship. Go Cards, Go!
