“We’re ready to jump,” said Valedicto- rian Colleen Castro. “We can see our whole lives spread out before us. When we hit the ground, I know we’ll be running. Because we each have a burning desire to succeed.” The Class of 2016 took their seats in the cafeteria at the Canadian International Hoc- key Academy (CIHA) for the June 9 gradua- tion ceremony, with family and friends flying from as far away as the Czech Republic or driving in fromnearby Ottawa. CIHA foun- der Robert Bourdeau had this advice for the grads: work hard and believe in themselves. “As youmove forward, you and only you are responsible for achieving the person you want to be,” said Bourdeau. “I hope we have helped you along the way. Think of life as a
jigsaw puzzle. You add to it, part by part. Be happy with your life. Be safe.” TheClass of 2016 includes EvelynBourque (Toronto, ON), Cole Burton (Ottawa, ON), Colleen Castro (Redwood City, CA), Nicole Dunbar (Coto de Caza, CA), Taylor Elias (Winnipeg, MB), Trevor Finch (Ft.
