Jr. B Glens Founders

​More than 50 years ago, a group of businessmen in Alexandria had the idea of creating a local opportunity for young hockey players to continue pursuing their passion on the ice, at the conclusion of their minor hockey careers.
This led to the creation of the Alexandria Junior ‘B’ Glens Hockey Club.
 
Guy Cholette, of Alexandria, with help from former resident Jean-Luc Caron took on the challenge of building the franchise.
They reached out to gentleman in the community, soliciting $250 from each one to form a founding group that would give the fledgling hockey club the financial backing to get up and running.
 
This group of men with the foresight to establish the Glens in 1967 included Guy Cholette, Gilles Lefebvre, A.W. Hope, Gary Shepherd, Duncan Macdonell, Wilfred Menard, Duncan Morris, J.P. Touchette, and Roger Roy.
 
These directors drew from the expertise of well-known sportsman and Hall of Fame inductee (1995) Gerry Simpson, who, along with others, provided the hockey knowledge needed to find a league in which the Glens could play, after completing a couple of seasons of non-league action.
 
A half century later, the Glens tradition continues, providing junior hockey in Alexandria, for players and fans.
