On we go to Appleby College, where St. Thomas, Ont., native and Canadian under-18 national team member Lexie Adzija is filling her days with hockey and education, and following in the footsteps of the likes of Brianne Jenner.
Did you know that the Queen Elizabeth Community and Cultural Centre houses the Oakville Sports Hall of Fame? And within those walls, odes to the likes of Jack Davidson and Ron Zamuner.
After a look at some of the legends Oakville has produced, it was important Ron take you to where greats are made. Our fourth stop takes you to retired NHLer Jamie Allison’s Oakville Hockey Academy.
