Alex Stewart Memorial Game Friday 29 November, Constantine Area, 7:00 pm
In April 2024 the RMC Paladins Hockey community lost former player 24855 Alex Stewart, Class of 2010.
Alex succumbed after an aggressive 2.5-year battle with esophageal cancer. Born on 23 May 1985, Alex is survived by his loving spouse, Ashley, his cherished daughters, Aubrey and Anna, his parents Kenneth and Margaret “Peggy” Stewart, and his brother Kyle (Yuna), as well as his niece Noa.
Alex was a goaltender of 3 years at RMC and was the ultimate teammate, appreciated by all members of his team, the coaching staff, support personnel and classmates.
To celebrate Alex’s life and his value as a member of the RMC Paladins Men’s Hockey Team, RMC Hockey along with the RMC Hockey Alumni Association will be holding the Alex Stewart Memorial Game on Friday 29 November 2024 as the Paladins host the Waterloo Warriors at Constantine Arena at 7:00pm.
A pre-game ceremony with Alex’s wife, Ashley, their daughters Aubrey and Anna as well as his parents Kenneth and Peggy will honour Alex as a father, a son and as a former RMC Paladin.
We would like to invite all of Alex’s former teammates, classmates and those who may have served with him to attend this game to honour him.
