The Maritime Forces Atlantic Sports Recognition Breakfast is hosted annually at the end of May, on behalf of the Formation Administration Officer by our PSP Halifax Staff. Each year a notable celebrity is brought in to help us recognize our Formations Athletes and those who contribute to their success. In the very recent past, guests have included, ex-NHL player Brian Trottier, TSN Analyst Rod Black, and this year's guest was veteran NHL coach, Rick Bowness. Mr. Bowness was a phenomenal speaker this year, and as CFB Base Commander Capt(N) Newton mentioned, he "drew a lot of parallels between the military life, and that of a coach"
