Ryan Kuffner and Max Veronneau have dreamed of playing in the NHL since they were children. Now that dream has come true. HockeyScanner has the story:
Veronneau’s father, Marc, was once a track athlete at Laval and works as a geophysicist for Natural Resources Canada. Max’s mother, Pamela Cross, is an Ottawa lawyer. Sister Sophie plays hockey at Yale.
Among those wearing No. 56 Kuffner sweaters were Kuffner’s parents, Joe and Debbie. Joe was a longtime Ottawa Sting coach, Debbie a former school principal. Ryan’s younger brother, Brendan, also played Sting hockey and enjoys men’s league hockey while attending Queen’s University. “It was a tremendous pleasure and opportunity to coach them,” Fogarty said of Veronneau and Kuffner. “And now to see their NHL dreams come true is remarkable.
