It is with great sadness that we learned of the death of Christophe Babin, a former player of our organization. Christophe proudly wore the colors of the Pionniers for several seasons, leaving behind him the memory of a committed teammate, a respectful young man and a true hockey enthusiast.
He made a mark on our organization not only for his on-ice talent, but more importantly for his unifying personality, infectious smile and exemplary team spirit.
We offer our deepest condolences to his family, his loved ones, and all those who were fortunate enough to be by his side. His visit with us will have left an indelible imprint. The whole large family of the Pionniers de Lanaudière is mourning today.
Rest in peace, Christopher. You will forever remain in our memory.
