Eight-year-old Gavin Glen Desjardins from
Williamstown has been named South
Glengarry’s Athlete of the Month. He plays
both hockey and soccer, sports he has enjoyed
for the past three years. Gavin plays forward/
right wing in hockey and enjoys being part of
a team with his friends. His short-term goal is
to win a hockey tournament, and his long-term
goal is to one day play in the NHL. Outside
of sports, Gavin hopes to work for Lauzon
Trucking in the future if he does not pursue
professional hockey. One of his proudest
accomplishments so far is being named MVP Overall for soccer in the
summer of 2025. Gavin believes that sports are important for the community
because they help people make new friends and have fun. He looks up to his
cousin, Colby Lauzon, and hopes to one day play for the Cornwall Colts like
him.
