Win for Quinn ASHL Bruins playoff game Aug. 7th, 2013. The following video shows the shootout goal that Shea scored for this brother - chilling! Nicole Beatty (photo teacher at Centennial) took pictures of the game and presented this collage picture to Shea. I do not recollect the details, but the final score of the game had a significant meaning. It is hard to imagine the Quinn was not watching us considering Shea's goal and the final score.
Natalie (Yatsina), another friend of Quinn's, followed her dad as he biked across 6 countries dedicated to Quinn (#bikedforquinn).

Blue Jay Bantam AAA baseball team coached by Pat Boehm played for Quinn in their 2013 Provincials and Westerns tournaments. Notice the QS16 that was engraved by hand on the official plaque. Obviously, the first-year players felt the QS16 would be along with them in their 2014 quest for the Provincial title. Pat stopped by our house and presented a Provincials keeper plaque and signed baseball to us.
