THE JOY OF CANADIENS HOCKEY…
By Bernard Bujold -
I love sports, but I’m not a fan of the Canadiens club or hockey, even though I used to be when I was younger…
But the success of the Canadiens hockey club goes beyond mere athletic victory. It is a source of life for thousands of underprivileged people. It was a friend, in another life, Cardinal Jean-Claude Turcotte, who explained to me that hockey for the homeless, such as those at Accueil Bonneau, is a source of joy pure in the face of their life’s challenges. If the Canadiens’ hockey victories make the poor and homeless happy, then I am happy…
It’s not a “direct source of happiness” for me, since I’m not a Canadiens fan, but I find poverty and destitution sad… No form of life (human or animal) should suffer because of a lack of financial resources or food!
