It was awesome. “Sid and Nate do so much to give back to our hockey association. The last couple of years we started Sidney Crosby and Nate MacKinnon awards. Each year we give out one to a player on each team, and they both send a little clip back thanking all the guys. “That’s what makes it so special, because they can relate to them.” Red Wings player Ethan Birmingham is one of them. “It was pretty special, pretty electric, sitting there, seeing players from the little town we’re from being the top players out there,” he said. “Just the speed, the way they control the game. “It’s just so cool to see people from where we live play in front of so many people.

He’s been fortunate enough to have coached several NHL players, including Sidney Crosby, who will play for Canada in the 4 Nations Face-Off and Crosby’s parents own Top Shelf Pro Shop at Cole Harbour Place Paul can often be found at the pro shop or on the ice there Mason talks about the growing excitement throughout Nova Scotia as Canada prepares for its first game of the 4 Nations Face-Off against Sweden at Bell Centre on Wednesday (8 p.m Crosby is the captain for Canada and is playing on a line with Nathan MacKinnon where the local minor hockey rinks are located working the skate sharpening and memorabilia shop located in the center of the facility Often the conversations center around Sidney Crosby, because of his connection to our community. Increasingly, conversations about Nathan MacKinnon, another Cole Harbour graduate, and his dominance during the last several years are topics that are covered with morning coffees. The pride in our community of these two tremendous ambassadors is far reaching. When we travel with our hockey team, it never fails that people ask if anyone on our team knows Sidney or Nathan. What is in the water in Cole Harbour or do they ever come home are questions that are always asked. These questions and others still occur, but there is a different excitement in the air with our morning java and hot stove session at the skate shop or in local arenas. When it was announced that three of the first six players selected to represent Canada at the 4 Nations Face-Off were from our local region, the pride increased exponentially. Frequently, when Canadian teams are announced to represent the country in international competitions, our Atlantic Canadian region is not always represented. But this time, Team Canada tabbed three Nova Scotians among the first six players named to the roster: Crosby, MacKinnon and Marchand. Those players come from two minor hockey associations in suburban communities outside of Halifax: Cole Harbour and Hammonds Plains. Complete coverage of 4 Nations Face-OffCanada “High Button Sports,” recently sent a social media reminder Nathan MacKinnon and Brad Marchand will be teammates in less than three weeks.” People in our region are excited to see how this all unfolds If any of us can influence the Canadian lineup I’m sure the starting forward line would be 87 I continue to coach the same team that Crosby played for in the late 1990s and early 2000s We are planning our annual trip away to Quebec in February a trip that Crosby and his teammates made as well This trip includes a long bus ride to Quebec City Two members of our coaching staff have excused themselves from the bus trip instead flying up early to Montreal so that they can watch the Finland vs They’ll drive from Montreal to Quebec City to join us for the week in Quebec Other friends of ours are hoping to see the three Bluenosers in the final They have purchased their tickets and made their travel arrangements to Boston heading to Montreal or Boston to see how our local superstars will do in this event One minor hockey team from Cole Harbour will be in Montreal during the tournament and many of them will be attending the 4 Nations Face-Off games Teams from a neighboring association are going to be in the United States One of the staff members informed me that they were ensuring that the Wi-Fi on the bus would be sufficient so families could watch the games while travelling Families in our region who aren’t traveling don’t have to go very far to find a viewing party Many local establishments are partnering with vendors to provide venues that will be go-to locations for fans who want to show their Canadian spirit with a large group of other supporters 29 and 63 will be prevalent on jerseys and other paraphernalia at these

their own Hallmark Christmas movie moment when they discovered they held a winning ticket in the Lotto 6/49 Classic Jackpot draw Heather and Peter Bryan split the $5-million jackpot with another winning ticket purchased from the Western Canada Lottery Corporation when they matched all six numbers in the Dec Heather Bryan said she was wrapping presents and watching Christmas movies with her daughter when she learned of the lotto win from her husband Peter Bryan said the shock of winning kept him from delivering a Hallmark-worthy line to his wife but I couldn’t,” Peter Bryan said in a news release Heather Bryan shared her perspective on the unbelievable Christmas gift 21 winning ticket was purchased in Dartmouth he immediately went to find his ticket My coat was downstairs where I knew my ticket was and then when I grabbed the ticket and looked I opened the Atlantic Lottery app on my phone and used the mobile scanner to scan the ticket.” After processing the news of their $2.5-million win the Bryans placed the winning ticket in a cookie tin for safekeeping before claiming the prize The couple plans to use their winnings to support their family one of the things that comes with this win is the unburdening of a particular worry,” said Peter but money is not one thing we have to worry about now.” The Crown will seek a lengthy prison sentence for a Cole Harbour man convicted of sexually assaulting a transgender woman he met online in December 2021 stood trial in Halifax provincial court on charges of assault and sexual assault by choking Judge Christine Driscoll found Marczak guilty on both counts in a decision last month Marczak will undergo a forensic sexual behaviour assessment prior to his sentencing The complainant’s identity is protected by a publication ban She testified at trial last June that Marczak visited her apartment in south-end Halifax on the night of Dec The pair had drinks and snacks before getting into bed where they watched anime on her cellphone and engaged in some sexual activity The complainant said she had not disclosed to Marczak that she was biologically male and was relieved when he didn’t react negatively after touching her genitals and discovering she had a penis She said that after she performed oral sex on him She said she began crying because she realized Marczak was not interested in dating her and had only wanted to have sex She told the court she wanted him to stay for the night but was not consenting to further sexual activity spit in her face and insulted her with derogatory terms She said Marczak set up a small video camera to record them and then sexually assaulted her for an estimated two hours pulled her hair and choked her throughout the attack The woman said she did not consent to being anally penetrated Marczak forced the woman to take a shower and removed the sheets from the bed put them in the sink with laundry detergent and ordered her to wash them He also made her unlock her cellphone so he could delete their interactions on social media The woman called 911 a few minutes after Marczak left the apartment at about 4 a.m where sexual assault nurse examiners documented injuries to her face and neck and bruises all over her body Marczak testified that everything that went on that night was consensual He said the complainant never asked him to stop and he believed she was consenting He said they had discussed their sexual preferences earlier that evening and the complainant had agreed to give rough sex a try the woman said no such conversation ever occurred Marczak said he had struck other women just as hard while having sex and they had not been injured He said he watched video of the encounter once but deleted it because he “wasn’t into it.” the judge said the complainant testified in a thorough and logical manner “She had an excellent recollection of the details of connecting with the accused online meeting at her apartment for the first time and how the evening unfolded,” Driscoll said She said the woman’s testimony was corroborated by other evidence “I found her evidence to be internally and externally consistent the judge said he readily admitted some uncomfortable things about himself and answered difficult questions during cross-examination But she noted several internal inconsistencies in his testimony and said parts of his evidence were not plausible “I do not accept the evidence of the accused nor does it raise a reasonable doubt,” she said “When I look at all of the evidence presented by the Crown I’m satisfied that the accused assaulted the complainant repeatedly by punching at her face I’m satisfied that he choked and strangled the complainant while committing a sexual assault.” She said there was no air of reality to Marczak’s belief that the complainant had communicated consent in advance and no evidence he took reasonable steps to ensure she was consenting to each portion of the activity “The evidence showed that any belief that he had that she was consenting to that activity was the result of recklessness or a mistake about what lawful consent was,” Driscoll said This requires even more care and attention to obtain consent.” the judge said that even if she had found that the complainant had consented any consent would have been vitiated by the bodily harm Prosecutor Cory Roberts said he was pleased with the verdict who doesn’t live here anymore,” Roberts said “She’s obviously to be commended for coming forward going through this difficult process and being so brave to get up on the stand and talk about a very difficult event.” Marczak has been in custody since July 2023 when he was caught using a camcorder hidden in a cooler bag to surreptitiously record about a dozen girls at Rainbow Haven Beach in Cow Bay Police obtained a warrant to examine the contents of the camcorder and Marczak’s cellphone and found evidence he had made similar recordings of females earlier that month at other locations in the Halifax area The cellphone contained about 5,300 images and 16 videos of child pornography Most of the illicit material showed girls between the ages of six and nine being sexually abused Marczak stood trial in Dartmouth provincial court on one count of voyeurism from the Rainbow Haven arrest and was found guilty last April He was sentenced in September to four months in jail he pleaded guilty in Halifax provincial court to five charges of voyeurism and one count of possessing obscene material for the purpose of distribution He was sentenced in October to five months behind bars He also pleaded guilty in Dartmouth provincial court in September to a charge of possessing child pornography Nova Scotia… RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment is seeking information

RCMP releases photo of vehicle of interest after shots fired in Cole HarbourBy Natalie LombardPublished: January 08, 2025 at 12:07PM EST Nathan MacKinnon has never been one to shy away from the big moment He rose to the occasion with the Halifax Mooseheads more than a decade ago leading the franchise to its first and only QMJHL and Memorial Cup titles in a memorable show of dominance He punctuated his major junior career with an unforgettable five-point performance in the Memorial Cup championship game that cemented him as the first overall pick in the 2013 NHL draft the 29-year-old from Cole Harbour has added a Stanley Cup and NHL MVP award – among countless other honours – to put him on an extremely short list in the debate around who is the best player in the world it might even be as short as him and Connor McDavid With the 4 Nations Face-Off set to kick off under the hot spotlight in hockey-mad Montreal on Wednesday the Colorado Avalanche superstar sounds hungry to lean into the heft of the occasion one more time Absolutely,” MacKinnon said in a media session on Monday “I think pressure is a privilege and I’m glad there’s pressure “We’re maybe an inspiration to some young kids around the country I’d be tuned in to this tournament so definitely excited.” Although he is more than a decade into his NHL career and is one of the highest-profile players in the tournament MacKinnon still can’t hide his reverence for the elder statesmen on Team Canada “It definitely feels like that,” he said in an interview with TSN’s Ryan Rishaug “If you look back at 2014 (Olympics) or 2016 (World Cup) those were definitely older rosters and all of us weren’t really at that level yet so it’s really special Sid (Crosby) – a lot of these veterans guys – it’s really special.” But despite that respect for his more experienced teammates He’ll centre a line with Crosby and Mark Stone on the wings and the two Nova Scotians will also team up for a downright intimidating Canadian power play The two Cole Harbour legends will be joined by McDavid 1 unit that dove into the assignment with some lengthy discussions and extra work on the first day of practice on Monday little positional chemistry or whatever you want to call it is so key,” MacKinnon told Rishaug I think our set-up’s perfect having Reino in the middle I’m on the other flank and obviously Cale’s the best shooter and the best defenceman in the league so I love the set-up But I think the best work you can get is after practice Canada opens the tournament against Sweden and MacKinnon made it sound like the coaches are encouraging a free-wheeling brand of hockey that should electrify the fans They’re obviously putting the systems together but it’s up to us to play hockey and try to play an aggressive style (Assistant coach) Pete (DeBoer) said today if we’re going to make mistakes do it aggressively and just not be passive But I think it’s definitely in our hands just to go play and obviously be responsible but not be too tight.” The United States and Finland are the two other teams in the tournament They open against each other on Thursday at the Bell Centre RCMP are at a residence in Cole Harbour investigating the deaths of two people Guillaume Tremblay said police were called at 9 a.m by someone reporting the discovery of the bodies of two adults in a residence on Poplar Drive but police aren’t commenting on the relationship Tremblay said police won’t be releasing information on the ages or genders of the individuals until likely Tuesday “We’re still very early in the investigation,” he said “Investigators will be there all day and probably through the night.” He said people can expect to see a lot of police activity on the street Pawel Marczak went to great lengths to surreptitiously record girls and women for a sexual purpose in the summer of 2023 The Cole Harbour man used a camcorder hidden in a thermal bottle inside a cooler bag to make the recordings at various locations in the Halifax area A Bluetooth connection allowed Marczak to control the zoom function on the concealed video camera with his cellphone pleaded guilty in Halifax provincial court this September to five charges of voyeurism and one count of possessing obscene material for the purpose of distribution He was sentenced recently by Judge Kelly Serbu The judge imposed a five-month jail sentence Four of the voyeurism charges involved teenage girls who were recorded at Crystal Crescent Beach outside Halifax on July 18 The fifth count involved about five unidentified teens or young women who were recorded near the Halifax Dockyard or at a Canadian Tire or Sobeys store between July 5 and July 23 Marczak’s conduct came to light after he was caught recording about a dozen girls at Rainbow Haven Beach in Cow Bay on July 24 Police obtained a warrant to search the contents of the camcorder and the cellphone when he was denied bail on the Dartmouth voyeurism charge and on charges of assault and sexual assault by choking from a December 2021 encounter with a transgender woman at her Halifax apartment His trial in Halifax provincial court on the assault and sexual assault allegations got underway this July Judge Christine Driscoll heard closing arguments last month and is scheduled to deliver the verdict Dec Marczak is also awaiting sentencing in Dartmouth provincial court on a charge of possessing child pornography He pleaded guilty in September and was supposed to be sentenced Monday but defence lawyer Mark Holden got the hearing adjourned so he could have further discussions with his client Before giving his sentencing decision on the Halifax voyeurism charges Serbu asked Marczak if he had anything to say to the court Marczak said he began making videos as a hobby because he was interested in pursuing a career in photography after his military career He said it was his understanding that he didn’t need a person’s permission to photograph or record them in public then they don’t need to know that they’re being recorded,” he explained if I don’t need their permission and they don’t need to know whether from a lens far away or a hidden camera.” He said he was “baffled” when he was arrested for secretly recording females for a sexual purpose “What I recorded is essentially what I believe to be natural,” he said Marczak was kicked out of the Royal Canadian Navy because of the charges Serbu said Marczak clearly understands that his actions have consequences has accepted responsibility for his crimes and his guilty pleas saved the victims and witnesses from having to testify But the judge said he wasn’t buying the offender’s explanation that he thought it was OK to videotape young females at the beaches “I’m a little skeptical of what you’ve told me this morning lengths that you took to hide this camcorder,” Serbu said showing people you were videotaping them.” Marczak’s two probation orders require him to participate in the provincial forensic sexual behaviour program and any counselling his supervisor believes is necessary daycares or community centres where persons under the age of 16 are likely to be present He also cannot work or volunteer in any capacity that would be a position of trust or authority toward children and is banned from having contact with his victims RCMP say the investigation into the deaths of two people in a home on Poplar Drive in Cole Harbour was a case of homicide and suicide and was an incident of intimate partner violence Guillaume Tremblay says the investigation has determined that a 72-year-old man killed a 71-year-old woman before taking his own life in the home not far from Sir Robert Borden Junior High School after someone found the couple dead inside Investigators were at the home much of Monday and into the evening hours Tremblay said the investigation remains ongoing “as there are still some things in the background that investigators have to look at … There is always a process of analyzing anything that we may have seized.” Volume 70, Issue 9, May 5, 2025 Feb 10, 2018 | Treasury Board of Canada President Scott Brison and Dartmouth-Cole Harbour MP Darren Fisher were joined by members of Maritime Forces Atlantic and the Canadian Naval Memorial Trust Jan 26 as they announced new federal funding for repairs to HMCS Sackville Canada’s last Flower-class corvette HMCS Sackville is set to receive extensive repairs this summer following the Federal Government’s announcement of a $3.5 million contribution to the Canadian Naval Memorial Trust (CNMT) The news was delivered by Treasury Board Secretary Scott Brison on behalf of Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan during a small ceremony at CFB Halifax’s HMC Dockyard Jan Work on the ship will mainly be completed at Fleet Maintenance Facility (FMF) Cape Scott and the Royal Canadian Navy will be responsible for managing the contribution agreement to cover the repair costs including labour Brison spoke about the importance of maintaining the ship which served during the Battle of the Atlantic and famously engaged three German U-boats in a 24-period during the summer of 1942 Sackville was designated Canada’s Naval Memorial in 1985 and is berthed next to the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic during summer months where it hosts tours and supports different naval and community functions “Being able to board a ship that actually served in these battles and now exists as a living memorial and treasured museum and learn about an important chapter in Canadian history,” said Brison who was joined at the jetty by Dartmouth Cole Harbour MP Darren Fisher and one that served through fierce battles she is weathered and she needs a lot of repair,” he said while crediting the work of the CNMT since 1983 in keeping the ship maintained and open for visitors up until this point and the rest of us a place to pay tribute to those who fought for the freedoms we enjoy today This an investment we are proud to make,” he said Sackville is currently at its winter berth near Jetty NC at the dockyard but tours and visits to the ship will now be discontinued while assessments begin

He's been fortunate enough to have coached several NHL players, including Sidney Crosby who is playing for Canada in the 4 Nations Face-Off own Top Shelf Pro Shop at Cole Harbour Place The Quebec International Pee-Wee Tournament is a busy week with games and events scheduled throughout A watch party was a definite must for the championship game of the 4 Nations Face-Off The conference room at our hotel was secured on a first-come parents and coaches on our team stationed themselves in the conference room 4-1/2 hours before game time The room filled up with our parents and players There were two teams and families from Gatineau enjoying the festivities along with our families and even a few others When the pregame show was getting closer to game time the energy in the room was obvious Kids were cheering for every image of a Canadian player who appeared on the TV and booing at every image of an American player The kids and adults proudly joined in for the singing of O’ Canada the Cole Harbour kids led a variety of chants as the game unfolded The most common chant was “Let’s go Crosby” but they chimed in with others such as “You can’t do that,” when the USA took a penalty I thoroughly enjoyed the uncomfortable feeling in my stomach as the tight contest unfolded My phone was buzzing from people I knew who were at their own watch parties People in Cole Harbour sent messages from two of the watch parties scheduled at our local arena A group of golfers from Nova Scotia who were in the Dominican Republic reached out Several former Cole Harbour natives living abroad in Boston were proudly wearing their Canadian attire When Nathan opened the scoring the room exploded as it likely did in homes and venues across our country The mood quickly changed when the USA tied the game and then it sank a little lower when defenseman Jake Sanderson scored the go-ahead goal. You could feel the increased tension in the room, which quickly turned to joy when Sam Bennett roofed a beauty to tie the game 2-2 Bid to Win 4 Nations Face-Off Game-Used Jerseys & Pucks!Now available on NHL Auctions as well as pucks used in games throughout the tournament For the third period and the overtime the tension was only interrupted by the “Go Canada Go” cheers Everyone was on the edge of their seats every time a player entered into the offensive zone There were several times in OT, when people would flail their arms and gasp, particularly when Jordan Binnington made some spectacular saves When Mitch Marner made the pass to Connor McDavid in the slot The place went nuts when McDavid ripped the puck in the top corner The Canadian win had secured their place at the top of the hockey charts. Our local boys, Crosby, MacKinnon and Brad Marchand had galvanized our Nova Scotia and the team, well as all of Canada. No matter whether you are political or not, this game carried some meaning if you are a fan of hockey. I doubt the kids from our team really know the significance of the game (Canada vs USA) in these political times. I would’ve had the same lack of understanding watching the Summit Series in 1972 when I was a young boy. Either way it was the stepping stone of the many Canada, best-on-best, hockey clashes the young players will experience. This one will be special because their hometown heroes were actually playing. I’m sure they can hardly wait for the Olympics. I know I can’t!
