Love, unite, and cherish were the three words Luc Gosselin lived by before his sudden passing in April 2005 at the age of 15. He attended College Regional Gabrielle-Roy School in Île-des-Chênes and had a true passion for volleyball.
That same month, Luc’s family and friends developed the Luc Gosselin Commemorative Bursary to continue Luc’s legacy by encouraging future students to pursue their dreams. To qualify for the bursary—given to those attending post-secondary education, undertaking a special project, or pursuing sport at an elite level—students must demonstrate leadership qualities, be an encouragement and support to their peers, have a positive attitude, and engage enthusiastically in their community or school.
This year, the twelfth annual Luc Gosselin Commemorative Volleyball Tournament will be held on Friday, May 27 and Saturday, May 28. The tournament will take place at Gabrielle-Roy in Île-des-Chênes, with a few teams scheduled to play at Centre Scholaire Leo-Remillard in south St. Vital on Friday.
New this year is a 40-team limit for registration, and the deadline to register is May 16.
There are three categories of play: elite, intermediate, and recreational. To play in the elite tournament, players must have club, university, or college experience. To play in intermediate, players should have experience playing on an organized team. First-time players are welcome at the recreational level.
The cost is $90 per team, for any level.
