“The students gained a great understanding of the dedication and training required to be a member of a hockey team as well as the hard work by those behind the scenes that make sure the event goes off without a snag,” explained the LJC Honor Guard Command Sergeant Major Roger Felix, who is also the Military Prep Instructor at the school and oversees the student government association.
“The students performed with distinction and were invited to return again in the future,” Felix added.
Participating members in the Pirates opening ceremony included Casey Hudson, Linda Nag, Steven Cleveland, Tatina Mathurin, Thomas Martinez, James Jackson, Mederick Polius and Dylan Michaud.
