Being from Paris, Texas, Vivian's standout hockey career doesn't get the recognition some may think it deserves. I hate to break it to you, but Texans don't care anything about hockey. The town of Paris doesn't realize they have an outstanding trio of hockey siblings in Ontario (GOMHL), Brandon(VHLM), and Vivian. Well actually, didn't realize, would be a better way to put it. When Paris officials realized that the LeBlancs existed, they decided to honor them at the yearly Balloons and Music Festival. Every small town in Texas has their own festival from the Rice Festival to the Crawfish festival. I'm assuming the Balloons and Musica festival is Paris's answer to this Texas Tradition. In the middle of the performance of problably the least exciting musician to perform at the festival, the LeBlancs were all three brought on stage and recognized for their charity work and hockey achievement. Those presenting did not know anything about hockey so it got awkward... But...


The Kelwona Knights could not manage to make it to the Finals this season after losing in a game 7 in last season's final. Of course, they lost some key players, but Kelowna should make it to the Finals consistently. Why would you every miss the Finals in the SMJHL? That's just ridiculous. Obviously, a big reason they could not make the Finals was the loss of All-Star goalkeeper Vivian LeBlanc. Now, she may not have been an actual all star ever, but she most certainly should have been. She was literally the Finals MVP on the team that did not win the finals. You cannot deny the impact playing in front of a girl goalie had on her teammates. They played their best to impress her. Now, don't discount the fact that Vivian was a talented goalie. Obviously, she had more impact than just being a girl. Ok, this 150 word mumbo-jumbo is done.
