Amazing story from the Concordy

You should definitely read the story about former Union hockey player Tim Schwarz and his journey as a student-athlete over the past four years. It is truly inspiring and one of the best stories I've ever heard and been a part of. Check it out on Concordy.com. Oh, and the photo you see on the website was taken by myself... it's my first official photograph. Mark that one up for the resume!

Valery-Trabucco and Boileau honored at senior dinner

At the 2010 Union Athletics Senior Appreciation Dinner tonight senior forward Mario Valery-Trabucco and junior forward Stephane Boileau each won the William B. Jaffe '26 Award. I don't know what the award is for. But, one thing that alarms me is why Boileau was honored if he has one more year of eligibility. Again I'm not sure if this was a "senior only" award, but there were rumors circling around a few months ago about Boileau leaving Union before his senior season. I haven't been able to get any info on the matter, but I'll keep looking.

Also, senior laxer Tim Schwarz was honored at the dinner as he was given the Award for Community Service and Community outreach. In his first to years in Schenectady Tim was a member of the Union College Hockey team in a minimal role. For the past two seasons Schwarz has been a member of Union's Lacrosse team where he has been a faceoff specialist. I had the privilege of living down the hall from Tim last year, and he is truly a great guy. He's an extremely nice and out-going individual who is always up for a good conversation about anything. I've never had a class with Tim, but I've heard that he is a tremendous student.
