Meet Patrick McEvoy and Ivan King. They will be the cover photo for the official SONBWG magazine.
Patrick is Miramichi’s youngest Special Olympic athlete participating, and Ivan is our oldest. Patrick is a grade 11 student at Miramichi Valley High, and this is his first Special Olympics games. He loves to swim, bowl, travel and listen to Paddy Quinn and Darcy McLaughlin on 95.9 Sun Fm. He is their biggest fan. He someday wants to have his own podcast or radio show.
Ivan is a young ,72 year old and has been competing in Special Olympics for almost 50 years. He has traveled all over the Maritimes competing for Miramichi. He loves to bowl, coach floor hockey, flirt with blondes and cheer on the Chatham Ironmen and Miramichi Timberwolves. It is not an Ironmen game until you hear, “Hit ‘er to Red Bank!”
With 10 days until the New Brunswick Special Olympic Winter Games in Miramichi kick off, the Miramichi Chapter of the New Brunswick Special Olympics are pleased to introduce many of it’s athletes in various sports.

Anthony will be bowling up a storm during the winter games. Come cheer him on.
