The Comic Asylum

Shippagan, New Brunswick needs your help in the name of fallen Vancouver Canucks defenceman Luc Bourdon.

As part of TSN hitting the road during the 2011 Kraft/TSN Celebration Tour to visit 10 Canadian communities in 10 days, 10 communities will also receive a grand prize of $25,000 for a new facility.

Shippagan has proposed building an outdoor rink in memory of Bourdon and Yanick DeGrace, the first player drafted into the NHL out of the town of roughly 3,000 who was also lost in a car accident, in 1991.

Jonathan Gagne, a representative speaking on behalf of the Shippagan bid, said that with the exception of a few pieces of memorabilia, neither Bourdon or DeGrace have been properly remembered. He wants to rectify the situation.

"This rink will provide a place of all kids to skate and play hockey, this most loved of all sports, outdoors," said Gagne. "The rink will serve during the summer for street hockey leagues and tournaments."

Shippagan, entered in the 2011 Kraft/TSN Celebration Tour under Centre Real Cormier, is matched up against the Sackville Curling Club in Sackville, NB, with the winner coming away with funds for their dream facility.

Gagne and Shippagan are asking for your support between July 20th at 9 a.m. PST until July 21st at 8:59:59 a.m. PST, during this time you can vote for Shippagan and help push it over the top.
