MPP Lecce Cheers on Local Olympians with Former Coach

As the 2026 Olympics began, Stephen Lecce, MPP for King—Vaughan, showed his support for Team Canada by gifting his former coach and President of the City of Vaughan Hockey Association, Barry Harte, an official Team Canada jersey. 

"Barry is a legend in our community — and we go way back. The first year he coached was in 1992, and I was on that team," said MPP Lecce. "With the Olympics underway, I can't help but think of how many "Barrys" exist across the nation -- the quiet yet determined coaches that inspire their kids to be the best and own the podium. We came full circle back to the arena we played in as kids, where I thanked him with a Team Canada jersey. Let's go Canada!"
