A teacher for 31 years at C\u00e9gep Champlain Coll\u00e8ge St Lambert, John was able to inspire the school with a rugby ethic by inaugurating the C\u00e9gep Champlain men&rsquo;s team in 1979. Five years later, in 1984, John two former Champlains formed the Saint-Lambert Locks rugby club.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In addition to his role as builder of these two clubs, John saw himself in charge of the national under-19 tournament for men women for a time. In addition, he was the cornerstone of the Quebec Combined Old Boys.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Federation would like to thank all those who contributed to the success of this scholarship.
