A Williams Lake couple won the trip of a lifetime.
Christine and Murray Dyment were in Montreal Feb. 6 to watch the Montreal Canadiens and hometown hero Carey Price beat the Vancouver Canucks, 5-2.
The trip was a result of the Williams Lake Minor Hockey Association’s tier two Bantam Female Timberwolves’ and Midget Timberwolves’ Dream Hockey Raffle, held earlier in the season, which included tickets for two to the game, air fare and accommodations for two nights.
Price kindly donated the tickets to the game.
“What a wonderful experience,” Christine said.
“Not only did we have a great hotel, got to see a Canadiens’ practice and meet Carey, have wonderful seats at the game, complete with guest passes to meet up with Carey post-game and have more stuff signed, but we also got to spend the rest of our trip with friends who toured us everywhere.
“We had poutine, smoked meat sandwiches at Smartz Meats, went to the biodome and planetarium, stuck our noses in where the Brier was happening, met Dan Ackroyd, got to fly around in a Montreal four-seater plane, and saw the fabulous views from the top of Mount Royal.”
The Dyments extended their thanks to the teams for the tickets, and added they discovered just how much everyone in Montreal loves Price.
“Our waiter in a restaurant at the Montreal airport said, in a very thick French accent, ‘He is a superstar!’”
