Canada - Celebrating Uncle Dick & Canadian Hockey

Ron went fishing in Canada at Nestor Falls to celebrate the life of Richard Demnicki. The boys enjoyed a great week of fishing and memories and had a nice memorial service for Uncle Dick, who now has a permanent memorial in one of his favorite spots.












That very same week, Canyon had his first hockey tournament in Winnipeg. Mom and the kids drove up to pick up Ron in Cloquet where we had a quick visit with Uncle Wally (who drove there with Ron) and then headed north and west to Winnipeg. In Canada, his hockey team faced some very tough teams (in all ways). After a couple of losses, his team did win a couple of games and Canyon even won Game MVP for one of the games. The experience was a big one for him, with strong team bonding both on and off the ice. When not playing, the kids enjoyed swimming in the hotel pool and checking out Assiniboine Park, Winnipeg's oldest park, complete with zoo, nature playground, and restaurants.
