Six young Ukrainian athletes proudly donned the green shirts of their new school as they hit the books in Quebec City for the first time Friday morning.
Maksym Shtepa, Artem Kovalenko, Mykyta Staskevych, Ehor Kosenko, Matvi Kulish and Ehor Pyshalko captured the hearts of Canadians at the Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament in February.
They decided to make Quebec City their temporary home and eventually enrolled at St. Patrick's high school to be part of its hockey program.
Recently, the six teens received special temporary visas allowing them to study and play hockey in Quebec City until it is safe for them to return home.
