The success of Hockey Night in Albert Head landed a Langley resident a prestigious award recently.
Lt. Brad Rouleau was presented with an Innovation Award at the final graduation parade at Albert Head Air Cadet Summer Training Centre (AHACSTC), near Victoria, by Commanding Officer Lt.-Col. Richard Mudryk.
Rouleau, 21, received the award for organizing “Officer vs. Staff Cadet” ball hockey, held two nights per week at the training centre. Rouleau, a flight commander for the Basic Leadership course, is the only recipient of an Innovation Award in 2010.
Known affectionately as “Hockey Night in Albert Head,” these intra-mural games addressed physical fitness (one of the aims of the cadet program), and promoted camaraderie, teamwork, sportsmanship, and leadership.
The hockey matches also inspired the first ever Vancouver Island inter-CSTC Officer ball hockey tournament, held at AHACTSC.
During the year, Rouleau is the training officer at 746 Lightning Hawk Squadron in Langley.
He was an air cadet for seven years and attained both his glider pilot and private pilot’s licences through the program. he is currently completing a bachelor of business administration at the University of the Fraser Valley.
The cadet program is designed to contribute to the development and preparation of youth for the transition to adulthood, enabling them to meet the challenges of modern society through a dynamic, community-based program.
