Saint-Eustache power!

It was touching last week. The Rangers showed a lot of class and attention to their first choice, our Alexis Lafrenière. We hailed his arrival on the beautiful big screens of Broadway, and in French on top of that. Also, he was presented his sweater, not forgetting the serious accent at Lafrenière. A great mark of respect for the young francophone.

The last time the Rangers had a first pick in the draft was in 1965.

Be careful, the Blue Shirts had chosen a Quebecker.

This is a defender, André Veilleux, who has never managed to carve out a place in the National League.

What is a little weird is that this man lives in Saint-Eustache, where Alexis Lafrenière is from.

André Veilleux, now 72 years old, had a very successful career as a police officer in Montreal.

FLOWER POWER

It is during the next week that Guy Lafleur will begin a series of treatments to fight the cancer that has returned and is affecting his lungs.

Guy has excellent morale, is positive, and has agreed to join a research group that involves 700 patients around the world.

Immunotherapy and chemo as needed, Guy is strong-willed and confident.

He never ceases to praise the CHUM medical team, for which he has become a spokesperson. The CHUM and Lafleur, an association that can only win.

He’s worried, but he keeps smiling.

Guy Lafleur gin is a resounding success and, keep a secret, in the coming weeks, Guy Lafleur champagne is coming. This man is a living SAQ.
