News – “And the crowd goes wild!” Having an enthusiastic cheering squad is a big key to success, and three Canadian Olympic medalists stopped by St. Mary Catholic School in Ottawa South on June 4 to thank them for their support
and to share some stories from the Sochi Winter Games. Hockey gold medalist Natalie Spooner, ski-cross silver medalist Kelsey Serwa and pairs figure skating silver medalist Dylan Moscovitch arrived to a packed gym of students proudly belting out the national anthem and wildly waving their miniature flags. The visit was part of a three-
day Celebration of Excellence Tour of Heroes to Ottawa-area schools, organized by the Canadian Olympic Committee and the Canadian Paralympic Committee. By the time the three athletes had answered all the students’ questions, posed for all of their pictures and signed all of their autographs, they were all but swept through the school on a
wave of excited students hoping for just one more intimate moment with the gods of Canadian sport. “I love visiting schools, especially elementary schools,” said a breathless Serwa after she was released by the enthusiastic masses. “People make you feel like a rock star.” See ST. MARY page 20
