BELLEVILLE – Matt Puempel is not your typical teenager. At just 18, his trophy case is already full and he’s a philanthropist. The native of Essex, Ont., near Windsor, is now in his third year with the Peterborough Petes of the Ontario Hockey League.

                “He is a special individual,” says Petes’ Head Coach Mike Pelino. “He has a heart of gold and wants to do anything he can for his fellow human beings. He does volunteer work at the school and work with the less fortunate. Anytime we have a community event, Matt’s open to all of it.”

The 24th pick of the Ottawa Senators in the 2011 NHL entry draft, Puempel recently started his own charity, “Puempel’s Purpose”. Every time Puempel scores a goal or gets an assist, money is donated to the Children’s Wish Foundation.

Pete Dalliday, who has broadcast Petes’ games for 15 years and has known Puempel since he came to Peterborough at 16, says the charity has gotten the city’s attention

                “It's only been a (a few months) now, and it's starting to snowball. More companies are hopping on board. They really like Matt. (He’s) mature beyond his years. He's a really personable young man and he's a fan favourite here,” said Dalliday.

Barry Larkin - Hall of Famer?

Loyalist College Sports Journalism student Shawn McLeish says Larkin is not due any post-career recognition in baseball.  Maybe a Barry Larkin Appreciation Day in Cincinnati, but that’s it.
McLeish writes about Larkin's election to the Baseball Hall of Fame on Smackblog.
