PEAC‘s own Piranha, Mykolai, played with the Mississauga Braves Spring team at the Spring Showdown Canlan tournament this past weekend, and it was Mykolai’s goal in the final game that made his team the champs on Saturday.

In the semi-final game Mykolai scored with less than 2 minutes in the 3rd to tie up the game at 5–5 and lead his team into overtime.

In the final, he scored with 1:18 min. left in the 3rd, making the final score 4–3 against the Vaughan Rangers Spring team.

Mykolai had a great weekend, 6 games played and a total of 3 goals and 2 assists. He played tough in very physical games, drawing many penalties for the other teams but also sitting his own at a total of 20 penalty minutes over the weekend!

Peac Alumni Sean Milne, currently attending Queen’s University to study accounting, has recently been hired to the executive board of the Queen’s Accounting Association (QAA). The QAA is comprised of Queen’s most enthusiastic, diverse, and outstanding student’s who govern and run all accounting related conferences, events, and student relations. Sean will be taking on the role of the Industry Liaison Officer, and will be directly communicating with companies such as Deloitte and Touche, KPMG, Price Waterhouse Coopers, Ernst and Young, RSM Richter, and other accounting firms. In speaking with Sean, he has noted that the valuable lessons regarding confidence and composure he learned from his PEAC Teachers and all the support staff, made a big difference in his application process. “I knew that there were hundreds applying, and that they very rarely give positions out to first year students. However, I also knew that I had to show up, be confident, and give it everything I’ve got. I relied on the many experiences I had at PEAC, from managing the Tuckshop and reporting to PEAC‘s CFO, to assisting with administrative duties, to running a stock brokerage simulation and more. These experiences, coupled with PEAC‘s strong academic preparation and my current performance, allowed me step above and beyond the competition to secure this position.” We want to wish Sean the best of luck in his future aspirations to becoming a Chartered Accountant, and look forward to hearing more stories of success.
