Despite the Sherbrooke International Bantam Tournament's longstanding tradition and regional significance, recent volunteer recruitment challenges have emerged, prompting a crucial discussion on the event's future.<\/p>\n
CJMQ interviewed Robert Legault, communications spokesperson for the 41st International Bantam Tournament held from Nov. 1-5 in Sherbrooke, Qu\u00e9bec. Legault said the tournament was successful this year, highlighting the participation of 35 teams from across Quebec, as well as international contenders from Slovakia.<\/p>\n
\"Everything went well as far as the competition and attendance are concerned,\" he notes.<\/p>\n
In addressing the shortage, Legault emphasizes the strain on organizers, noting, \"It causes a lot of stress in any type of activity where we need those people.\"<\/p>\n
His plea for community involvement echoes a broader sentiment.<\/p>\n
\"People will have to realize at one point that we do need volunteers. Or there's no way we can organize these events,\" he said.<\/p>\n
Offering a nuanced perspective on the issue, Legault suggests practical ways for individuals to contribute, saying,<\/p>\n
\"If people can come and give a couple of shifts, 3-4 hour shifts during the week, that will help us big time.\"<\/p>\n
He underscores the tournament's unique position, where all benefits go to support hockey in Sherbrooke, involving 1,500 hockey players.<\/p>\n
\"How come the parents don't get involved as much as they could?\" Legault questions.<\/p>\n
Looking ahead, Legault discusses the future events of Hockey Sherbrooke, encouraging interested individuals to reach out.<\/p>\n
\"People are already interested in investing some time in the tournament,\" he notes, providing contact details and directing potential volunteers to the Hockey Sherbrooke website.<\/p>\n
