The Richard "Bert" Bertrand Local Prospect

Gilles Roy and Raphaël Lafontaine.

The Gatineau international midget Kiwnanis Tournament gave a scholarship to Raphaël Lafontaine, the best local prospect during its 45th edition.

The Richard « Bert » Bertrand scholarship recognizes the excellence of a local midget hockey player. The number 71 of the Gatineau Intrépide also saw his name engraved on the souvenir plaque. Raphael was the 7th player to receive this grant of $ 1,000.

In January 2003 the tournament instituted the Richard « Bert » Bertrand commemorative plaque, in honour of the one whom past away due to cancer in November 2002. He was president of the International Midget Kiwanis Tournament in 1993 and 1994. « Bert » was well known in the Outaouais Hockey community and made his mark as a scout for the Hull Olympiques for a number of years
