Kyle Goodman punched in a pair of points against the Royals while teammates Nicho- las Gaumond, Logan Lefebvre, and Jacob L’avant vedette des Hawks, Dovar Tinling, a été nommé élève émérite Hockey Hair de la Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL), une distinction qui souligne le rendement scolaire de joueurs encore à l’école secondaire. «C’est une belle récompense», reconnait timidement le jeune homme de 16 ans, qui étudie à St. Thomas High School, dans sa ville natale de Pointe-Claire, au Québec. C’est aussi un gage de la discipline et du sérieux qu’apporte l’attaquant à sa vie à l’extérieur de la patinoire. «Chaque jour, après l’école, mon grand frère vient me chercher et nous partons pour l’aréna», a-t-il expliqué. Son frère, c’est Azzaro Tinling, qui est également son compagnon de trio chez les Hawks. Alors, est-ce que c’est son ainé qui l’aide à faire ses devoirs dans la voiture, entre Pointe-Claire et Hawkesbury? «Non, a-t-il dit en souriant, c’est ma sœur.» Lors de son séjour avec l’équipe natio- nale, il recevait ses leçons par courriel et avait des appels vidéo avec certains professeurs.
