Posted on Sept. 9: Pat Quinn kicks off alumni luncheon series

Pat Quinn, head coach of Canada's gold medal winning men's ice hockey for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, and general manager and head coach of The Toronto Maple Leafs, will open McMaster's fall luncheon series Thursday.

McMaster alumni are invited to go one-on-one with Quinn as he talks on his career, his Olympic memories and the drive to bring the Stanley Cup back to Toronto.

Steve Milton, sports writer for the Hamilton Spectator will facilitate the interview session with Quinn. The event will be held at the Hamilton Convention Centre, Chedoke Room and begins at 12:15 p.m. with a reception, followed by a lunch at 12:45 p.m.

Suggested questions for the Pat Quinn luncheon should be forwarded to alumni@mcmaster.ca and indicate in the subject line Pat Quinn Luncheon Questions or fax to 905-524-1733. The MAC (McMaster Alumni Community) Committee will review the submissions.

The MAC Luncheon Series has developed into one of the McMaster Alumni Association's marquee events, attracting business and community leaders as well as alumni and friends of the University with its attention to topical issues presented by high calibre speakers. The committee is expanding the series to include a dinner event to be held at the University.

In addition to the Pat Quinn luncheon, the series fall line-up includes:

Oct. 2 — Ajon Moriyama, partner, Moriyama & Teshima Architects and designer of the McMaster University Student Centre, discussing the process behind designing a building that will become the focal point of an already developed campus.
