Rockland when they were part of the CIHL campus. “It’s nice to come back and see everybody here,” Girouard said during an early-after- noon interview Jan. 19, prior to the Islanders practice session. “I had five very good years here.” Girouard is now the assistant general manager and assistant coach for the Islan- ders and Grouchy is the team’s third line centreman. The Islanders stopped in at the academy to borrow one of the rinks for a practice session before heading on to Gati- neau for the next game in their road schedule in the QuébecMajor Junior Hockey League (QMJHL). Following practice, Girouard, Grouchy, and Saku Vesterinen, a Finnish player for the Islanders with NHL dreams of his own, sat down for a meet-and-greet with this year’s academy class. “It’s a different game here,” Vesterinen said, noting that the standard hockey rink back home in Finland is larger. “So it (hoc- key) is a lot faster here, and the guys are bigger.” “Getting used to a different, faster speed was a huge challenge for me,” said Grouchy, regarding his QMJHL experience so far. In the end, Grouchy observed, the lessons he learned at CIHL spell success for himnow with the Islanders the same as they did when he played for the academy on the Voyageurs. “Don’t make excuses,” he said. “Get up every morning. Do what you’re supposed to do, and give it 100 per cent.” C’était presque comme une «vieille semaine à la maison» quand les Charlottetown Islanders s’arrêtaient à l’aréna Clarence-Rockland pour utiliser la patinoire principale pour leur séance d’entraînement avant de se rendre à Gatineau pour l’un de leurs matchs de route prévu au Québec Junior majeur Ligue de hockey. La liste des entraîneurs et des joueurs des Islanders comprend deux visages familiers de l’Académie canadienne de hockey international: l’ancien Matthew Grouchy comme centre de la troisième ligne de l’équipe et Guy Girouard, ancien directeur du hockey de l’ACHL, et maintenant l’entraîneur-adjoint et le director-adjoint des Islanders. —photo Gregg Chamberlain
