Junior hockey team pushes bus out of snow rut!

Some players hope that their coaches can switch things up during practice and keep training interesting. 

Well, a junior hockey team surely managed to do so. 

The QMJHL's Blainville-Boisbriand Armada needed to get out on the road for their upcoming contest, however, the Montreal weather hasn't been very accommodative to travels on the road. 

That's why the players of the Armada were asked to push their team bus out of a snow rut so they could get on the road. 

Players have been going together and supporting each other especially in the past week. At the start of the month, the Armada lost one of its players has died, apparently from complications from epilepsy. Alec Reid, 18, died on March 2nd, surrounded by loved ones.

Reid had been acquired from the Drummondville Voltigeurs before the trade deadline and was playing his first season in the QMJHL. He had two goals and three assists in 37 games, 11 of them with the Armada.

"Alec was part of the Armada family and the entire organization is in mourning," Mario Marois said in a statement.

"All the players, and the hockey, training and administrative personnel are united in offering their most sincere condolences to the members of his family as well as his friends."

Let's hope the Armada remains safe on the road and that the players can keep their spirits up - spirits that allowed them to push a bus out of the snow! Keep it up, boys!
