It didn’t take long for this Syrian refugee to complete his first hat trick.

Meet Tareq Hudhud.

Yes, he scored three goals in his very first street hockey game on Boxing Day but more importantly he has a new country, a new province and calls himself an “Antigonisher.” That’s a hat trick that thrills Tareq.

But he has other goals besides filling the net. He wants to help his family become acclimatized to Antigonish. He wants to continue his studies to become a doctor. And he wants to become involved as a volunteer in our community.

Oh yes, he also wants to be able to feed himself so that means cooking for the very first time. His fried eggs were a big hit even though his mother back in Lebanon thought she could smell something burning as he consulted with her.

Ciad mile failte.
