The GILLES HEBERT Story

I first met Gilles in1977 when he was playing for Shawinigan in the Quebec major jr league. He wanted to enter Concordia but had not completed CGEP. I suggested he get in touch with the Hawkesbury hawks jr A team. He had a difficult time obtaining his release but after a court order he was allowed to play in Hawkesbury. Gilles joined the stingers in 79 and entered the engineering program. He was a great player and leader and was sensational in our bids to win the nationals in 82 and 83.He finished his career with 253 pts in 220 games, our 2nd all time leading scorer. One fond memory I have was in Dundee Scotland in 1980.We won the first ever British challenge cup and were treated to a tour of the famous Edinborough castle. The tour guide was a war vet who had a thick scottish accent. We finished the tour and I asked Gilles ,how he liked it. He said " I really enjoyed it ,but what language was the guide speaking"?
