It has been 1 year this week end past since the death of Potsdam forward Anthony Proteau. A beautiful charming witty laughing young man. His memory is so fresh it is difficult to write this. His Dad Alain and I coached Anthony, Kief Orsini ( Maine/Concordia ) Max Noreau ( Houston Aeros AHL ) and my son Gavin ( Amherst ) when they were 7 and 8. The boys together Pee Wee AA, Bantam AA, Midget...then everybody splitting up in different directions at Prep and Jr. In retrospect a gentle time with Anthony in every picture. Getting together to train at Rapid, and Painstation in the summers with all the Montreal guys, lifting at the Y, pre drinking in my living room before they hit the clubs just talking trash and howling with laughter. I loved the sound. Anthony was so much a part of all our lives, the travel, tournaments, scrimmages, dinners over the years. Everyone who knew Anthony misses him and his beautiful mother Joanne who died a few months before him.
Explosive goal scorer, quick feet, quick release hard shot good hands. A good man. Peace.
