TRIBUTE TO A FALLEN COACH
Josh Chamberlain has goalie mask custom airbrushed

OSHAWA -- The North Oshawa Thunder Peewee hockey team knows what it's like to have to battle off the ice more so than on it.

About two years ago, their trainer/assistant coach Vic Weatherall suddenly passed away. A realization that life is short and that you have to live it to the fullest made the team united as they rallied around the Weatherall family to get them through the painful loss of a father, a husband, and a role model.

The team's goalie, Josh Chamberlain, now 13, was especially close to Weatherall. The coach had mentored the young goalie, and recently to pay tribute to a man that selflessly volunteered his time and wisdom, 
Chamberlain had his mask custom airbrushed with Weatherall's face on it to show his gratitude.

"He helped me out a lot," said Chamberlain. "I just wanted to dedicate it to him and show how much he meant to me."
