Alicia L.

Profile and story

Who better than Alicia—always with a hockey stick in her hand—to embody the heroine of the Charles-Bruneau Cup in Montreal?

In August 2024, her life was turned upside down when she was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia type B. Since then, Alicia has been undergoing treatment with determination, despite the many restrictions that limit her passions: fewer outings, less sports... and above all, less hockey. Yet nothing has prevented her from completing her senior year of high school with flying colors.

When asked what she is most proud of, she simply replies: “Everything I've accomplished.” And she's absolutely right!

Insatiably curious, Alicia loves to learn about a thousand and one subjects. But her heart beats to the rhythm of hockey. Her dream? To play in the PWHL. Her idol? The inspiring Marie-Philip Poulin.

For her parents, the Charles-Bruneau Foundation is “a team that takes children's health to heart.” And they add, with smiles on their faces: “We are happy to have met all these kind-hearted people, whom we affectionately call our hearts on two legs.”
