Brent Tremblay

Hershey holds a special place in the heart of former Bears defenseman Brent Tremblay. The North Bay, Ontario native began dating his wife Catherine while playing in the late 1970's for Hershey. Tremblay was drafted by the Washington Capitals in 1977 and played parts of two seasons in the National Hockey League.
Today, Tremblay is a pastor at a North Bay Evangelical Church. According to Tremblay, " I have travelled extensively as a missionary aid preaching revivals and crusades while helping to establish churches worldwide."
With five children and work, Tremblay doesn've have much time to do anything else. However, he still manages to find a little time to skate and play hockey.

Ray Kinasewich

"Kemo" was originally signed with the Detroit Red Wings, but he never got to Motown. There were stops in Edmonton, Seattle, Cleveland, Hershey - but never the big time. From 1959-1962 Kinasewich played right wing for the Hershey Bears. In 208 games he tallied 132 points for the chocolate and white.
After hockey Kinasewich went into the family business running a commercial linen company. The business provides linen service to the healthcare industry in Canada, USA and England.
In his spare time, "Kemo' enjoys playing a round or two of golf.
At last report, the 73 year-old Alberta native was living in Coquitlam, British Columbia.

Eric Veilleux

Eric Veilleux was a favorite of Head Coach Bob Hartley as the Bears won the 1997 Calder Cup over the Hamilton Bulldogs. Veilleux followed Hartley from the Cornwall Aces to the Bears. In two seasons with the Bears, Veilleux scored 123 points and worked as one of the teams top pests.
Now, Veilleux looks to follow Hartley into the NHL coaching ranks one day. In the late 1980's Hartley got his first big break coaching the Hawkesbury Hawks of the Central Junior Hockey League. A few years back, Veilleux got his coaching break with the same Hawkesbury team. Next Hartley was on to the QJMHL and the Laval Titans.
Last year, Veilleux landed the Head Coach postion with the Shawinigan Cataractes of the same QMJHL. So how long will it be before Veilleux is coaching in the AHL or NHL? If he follows in the footsteps of Hartley, the future will include a Memorial Cup, another Calder cup and mayber, just maybe a Stanley Cup.
