Discover The Well Kept Secrets Of How To Become A Hockey Drill Pro And Be Your Team’s Star!

March 5th, 2007

To many boys living in Canada, playing hockey is as much a part of life as attending school, because to Canadians hockey is more than just a game it’s an institution.

One of these boys who carried skates as well as schoolbooks was Bill L’Heureux. Raised in Port Arthur, Ontario, Bill learned his early playing skills by participating in pee-wee, bantam, midget, and high school hockey. At the same time, he “hit the books” hard enough to earn a college scholarship at the age of sixteen.

While attending Assumption College at Windsor, Ontario, Bill played Junior “B” and later Senior hockey with the Windsor team in the Michigan-Ontario League. After graduation from college at the age of nineteen, Bill had to decide whether to accept or refuse one of three offers to join a National Hockey League club. After much thought, he refused them all in favor of a teaching career in physical education, for in this field he could combine his keen interest in sports with his desire to work with boys in athletics.

To obtain his teaching certificate, Bill attended the University of Toronto. While there, he played defense for the varsity hockey team, which, on a coast-to-coast tour of the United States, defeated 13 American college teams in 13 games.
