Côte Saint-Luc's Director of the Parks and Recreation Department, David Taveroff (pictured below),, officiated his 1,000th game in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) on Sunday, October 17 in Verdun. That is a remarkable achievement. It's also quite impressive that he kept track of all those games.
Taveroff joinied only two other officials at the 1,000-game level. He has been officiating QMJHL games for 28 seasons. His first game was on September 25, 1983. His association with the league led to a career highlight when Taveroff officiated at the World Junior Hockey Championship in Sweden in 1993. He is also the video replay judge for the National Hockey League for half the Canadiens games played in Montreal.
“People who know me, know how much I love sports in general and hockey in particular,” said Taveroff, who joined the City of Côte Saint-Luc in 2002. “Officiating games across Quebec, the Maritime provinces, and Maine has put a lot of kilomteres on my car, but rewarded me ten-fold with lifelong friends and wonderful memories.”
Taveroff says officiating has given him invaluable experience in managing people and building consensus.
“When you’re on the ice with young, strong players, you learn how to defuse situations quickly,” Taveroff said. “Hockey—like life—can be a tough, emotional experience and the job of the official is to make sure everyone feels they were treated fairly.”
QMJHL teams are based in Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Maine. Many hockey greats have passed through the league en route to National Hockey League, including Mario Lemieux, Luc Robitaille, Patrick Roy, and Sydney Crosby. The Montreal Juniors and the Quebec Ramparts are two of the league’s 18 teams.
“It’s been a blast watching the development of young players and of hockey in general over the past 28 years,” Taveroff said. “Officiating has allowed me to retain a passion for the sport of hockey and to participate at a high level.”
David certainly has his hands full these days in CSL, as he helps to oversee the construction of our new $18 million Aquatic and Community Centre.
Hold oneself accountable for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. In no way excuse oneself. Thank You!!!
Nailed it!
I think I might have to try this sunshine sauce myself. As I read it, it reminded me of a Bahamian cookbook I have. This sauce is very “islandy” in both it’s content and name.
I might add just a hint of cumin to it, hopefully that won’t muddle the color too much.
Great job.
Um…like the style of your writing.*_*
The downside of the game for taller rollers is that it’s a really $.5 game, and will only be played with less than forty-five credits. Although usually are very well more expensive than basic cards, they are inexpensive in the long take as they are designed to last longer. iphone 5 charger samsung galaxy s3 case accessories for galaxy s3 ipad mini cases best iphone case ipad cases (grizzlygadgets.com) best iphone 5 case (grizzlygadgets.com) ipad case with keyboard Ipad case cool iphone 4 cases Ipad 3 Cases ipad 3 cases and covers – grizzlygadgets.com, aluminum iphone 4 case best iphone 4 cases best ipad 2 case case for galaxy s3 ipad cases iphone 4s case, grizzlygadgets.com, ipad mini cases best case for iphone 5 iphone 4 case Ipad accessories case for samsung galaxy s2 cute iphone 5 cases aluminum iphone case unique iphone 4s cases cases for samsung galaxy s2 Iphone 4 aluminum Case samsung galaxy s2 accessories unique iphone 4 cases cases for iphone 4 iphone 5 screen protector (grizzlygadgets.com) samsung galaxy s2 case keyboard for ipad [grizzlygadgets.com] Best iphone 4s cases cool ipad accessories iphone 5 cover Samsung Galaxy s2 cases iphone 4 case ipad 3 cases and covers Iphone 5 Covers; Grizzlygadgets.Com, iphone 4 battery leather iphone 5 case leather iphone cases (grizzlygadgets.com) ipad mini keyboard (grizzlygadgets.com) Best Iphone Cases iphone 5 charger (grizzlygadgets.com) zagg ipad keyboard best case for galaxy s3 leather ipad 2 case samsung galaxy s3 cases amazon ipad case galaxy s2 phone cases iphone 5 headphones; http://grizzlygadgets.com, ipad accessories Iphone 5 cases Mini ipad Case ipad keyboard waterproof iphone 4 case waterproof iphone case, http://grizzlygadgets.com/iphone-accessory, iphone 5 cable (http://grizzlygadgets.com) iphone 5 waterproof case – grizzlygadgets.com – case for ipad 2 (http://grizzlygadgets.com/ipad-2-cases) iphone 4 charger leather iphone 4 case targus Ipad 3 case (http://grizzlygadgets.com) iphone case ipad mini cover galaxy s3 case otterbox accessories for Samsung galaxy s3 ipad cover best case for iphone 4 ipad mini covers iphone 4 cases ipad cases best galaxy s3 cases ipad 3 cases (grizzlygadgets.com) ipad 2 covers and cases (grizzlygadgets.com) galaxy s3 waterproof case, http://grizzlygadgets.com/accessories-for-samsung-galaxy, best ipad keyboard case ipad 3 keyboard (grizzlygadgets.com) best ipad keyboard case iphone 5 aluminum case speck iphone 4 case ipad case ipad case with keyboard leather ipad 3 case ipad 3 covers cases for iphone 5 (http://grizzlygadgets.com/iphone-5-accessory) iphone 4s case Ipad case With Keyboard iphone case iphone 5 case best iphone 5 cases apple ipad accessories iphone 5 case iphone 5 bumper case mini ipad cases – grizzlygadgets.com, cases for ipad 2 (grizzlygadgets.com) best iphone 5 accessories iphone 4 case ipad 3 cases cool iphone 4 case Ipad Mini Keyboard Case ipad cover with keyboard best case for galaxy s3 – grizzlygadgets.com – ipad mini accessories
