Tribute for Arianne

“This Friday will be a special day for our organization. Indeed, this will be the tribute part to Arianne Dubé, spouse of our player Nicholas Lepage. Arianne unfortunately died in a tragic automobile accident on November 16.
The large Rimouski Shaker family invites you to come to the match in large numbers, to pay tribute to a golden person who was loved by all.

A final goodbye for our #1 fan, our friend who will always be there in our hearts,” the team wrote.
