I can see another long term suspension coming up. Any similarities?? WJHC disappointment, trouble adjusting to Q play again, underachieving with their (new) club... Hit to the head. hahahahahahaha!!!! WJHC disappointment!?!?!?! He wasn't even supposed to make the team yet was one of the top scorers. Underachieving here!?!?!? LUKE ADAM!?!?!?! I guess the only classy QMJHL'ers play in Saint John, like Mike Thomas  |

Nope. You're wrong JB. The Remparts have had classy players too. J Roy and Paquette gotta be up there.  Anyway back to the original thread, both guys (Lagace and Bourque) have to be labeled as disappointing in terms of point production, for sure. Bourque is less of a disappointment in my eyes though. He's still out there working hard and contributing in other ways that would lead you to believe/hope his scoring will come around eventually. Lagace on the other hand....well the times I've watched him, he doesn't seem into the game at all, which gives me much less hope that his scoring will eventually turn around. |

One tough >SOB..........he hits to make a difference. He could spark this team into what it takes to contend. So far legacy has dissapointed me. |

I was impressed with Legault this weekend. He definitely plays hard for you guys...is a little dirty out there too, and pissed off more than one Sea Dog this weekend. I mean dirty in a good way too. Nothing dangerous to someone's health...just dirty enough to get people angry and off their game. |

why is he a role model? role model to whom? he's a fucking kid... not a role model I don't really know anything about Luke Adam other than the general stuff ... nor what the CB players do within their community ... but maybe this article from todays T&T will shine some light on how these Q kids are viewed as role models ... timestranscript.canadaeast.com/opinion/article/954572not sure playing some shinny hockey with kids is role model worthy.. I am fairly certain most any Q player could write almost an identical column nice gesture to be sure but doesn't really change my comment to littlewolf p.s. I've seen Moncton wildcats players hit guys from behind and even flip the bird to some hecklers in the crowd.... but I am sure those players have also played some shinny hockey with a few kids before as well.. doesn't make them rolemodels....just makes them normal teenagers IMO |

They aren't normal teens ... normal teens go to school all day ... normal teens don't have scouts following them around ... normal teens don't have their own hockey card or have their poster on a kids bedroom wall ... normal teens don't get asked for their autograph ... normal teens don't get named the best player in Canada for the month of .... Normal teens don't get to play for their country on television. Normal teens go to school every week day and sleep til 1:00 on weekends ... they answer your questions with one syllable responses ... often grunting ... many work at MacDonalds, Wendys, BK or Subway. Normal teens are usually the generic suspects when vandalism happens in the community. Normal teens live at home and don't move away to live with another family. There is nothing normal about the teens that play in the Q. These kids are role models for kids in their communities. |

There is nothing normal about the teens that play in the Q. These kids are role models for kids in their communities. they are role models, but from thier perspective they are still kids, and no it is not a normal teenage life, they grow up faster and more is expected...........some dont even go down this road because they would rather be normal..........but even role models are not perfect and they are going to do something like that or become intoxicated once in a while........thier behavior will at times be normal.....because that is exactly what they are...... in thier perspective. |

I am sorry you think being a good hockey player automatically makes one a role model.... teenagers screw up all the time whether they are the kids flipping burgers at Wendy's or playing for the Moncton Wildcats of the QMJHL.. it is normal teenage behaviour and part of the growing up aspect of life |

The burer flippers at wendy's tend to be less of a role model than the mcdonald flipper and in turn burger king flippers tend to be the worst flippers and role models overall |

I am sorry you think being a good hockey player automatically makes one a role model.... teenagers screw up all the time whether they are the kids flipping burgers at Wendy's or playing for the Moncton Wildcats of the QMJHL.. it is normal teenage behaviour and part of the growing up aspect of life Yes ... I did ... in a discussion about Luke Adam's actions. Do you not think Luke Adam is role model in his community to young kids and hockey players especially ? Do you not think that playing for his country elevates him to an even higher celebrity status in his home town, home Province, and the CBRM community. According to the laws of this country ... Luke Adam is not a kid ... he can vote ... he can buy alcohol ... he can enter into a legally binding contract ... and he can go to prison with other adults. If your argument is that a kid playing hockey should not be considered a role model ... well thats too bad. Being in the spotlight forces them into that role whether they like it or not. Kids look up to them and want to be like them. In fact ... IMO they are much more of a role model to their community than many NHL guys are ... because they are accessible to the fans ... they are their talking to the kids ... in their schools ... at their hockey practices, etc. There have been many guys that have passed through the Q that have been poor role models (your team has had a few) ... but they are still role models because the kids look up to them. The reason I posted the article was to show how the kids look up to these guys and relish the time they get to spend with them. My kid was at a power skating school when he was 11 or 12 ... he was a pretty good hockey player but not the greatest skater ... he always favoured one side when stopping over the other and so they were working on stops and starts and forcing the kids to get out of their comfort zone ... good drill ... but my kid was struggling on one side. So ... one of the helpers on that day took my kid aside for some one on one help. For about 10 mins my kid was working on his stopping on all edges with Steve Bernier. He still remembers and talks about that 10 mins today and he is now 19 ... and I remember it vividly also because it was a huge moment for him at that time in his life. That is the type of impact these kids can have on others ... they have no choice but to accept that they are role models in their community. I'm sorry that your team is not viewed as role models in the community ... perhaps that is why nobody comes out to the rink anymore. |

and my step daughter was at a practice one time when Evan Mosher came on the ice and helped her out...... she thinks he's hot
you don't need to post an article to point out that kids look up to these guys...... my point is all the teams do that stuff... it isn't something special your beloved Wildcats have done
do I think Luke Adam is a role model in his community? I don't know as I'm not from that community..... I certainly would not think he's more of a role model than Dan Cleary is tho.. how is playing hockey in Cape Breton more accesible to a kid from whatever part of Newfoundland Adam is from more accessible to them than an NHL'er is?
the entire discussion started from littlewolf claiming because Adam hit some SeaDog into an open door and alegedly flipped off the hecklers from the lovely city of Saint John that this somehow makes him a non role model.... my argument is he shouldn't be considered a role model just because he plays hockey very well... I don't consider Tiger Woods (golfs exceptionally well) or Charlie Sheen (high profile tv actor) or lady gaga (not really sure what she is supposed to be) role models either.... being well known doesn't force one to become a role model
plenty of people who aren't in the spotlight influence your child's life.. at least I hope they do... more than 10 minutes with Steve Bernier does
