South Branch Garage presents
“Game On” in South Glengarry
Meet our Athletes
Anderson Pawsey
Age: 9 Grade: 5
Hometown: South Glengarry
School: Rose Des Vents Elementary
“My main two sports are hockey and baseball,”
says Sports Energy’s Game On athlete for
November, Anderson Pawsey. “This is my 5th
year playing hockey. I’m a winger.”
“I love the speed and the contact of hockey,”
Anderson continues. “Skating fast on a breakaway
is a big rush! My personal goal for hockey is to
improve my shot so I can snipe corners, and my
team goal is for us to win the championship.”
Anderson aspires to be a professional athlete and then some. “When I retire [from
sports], I want to be a doctor, like my mom,” he says.
This young athlete’s notable accomplishments include winning a Most Improved
Player award with his hockey team, making the AA Seaway Surge baseball team,
and winning a big tournament. “I also won a gold medal for the fastest kid in my
grade,” Anderson adds.
Anderson feels that hockey is important to Canadians. “It’s cold here for a lot of the
year,” he explains, “so it’s a sport we invented that we could play outside in winter.
Canadians also win a lot of the Olympic medals and most of the players on Stanley
Cup winning teams are Canadian.”
