So many negative comments abound, especially on social media, about the situation at Laurentian University that some important elements are getting lost in the insults and shouting.
From a longer-term perspective, we should be asking what has Laurentian done for Sudbury. Let me start with some straightforward questions:

South Philly Review
Packer Park goalie hopes to follow the greats
Billy Stuski is a talented goaltender. And he’s smart, too.
Only a high school freshman, the Packer Park resident has a good grasp on whom to attempt to emulate when he’s between the pipes.
“Carter Hart,” Stuski said with a smile. “He’s from Philly and he’s a great goaltender and he’s fun to watch. It’s really inspirational because he covers his angles really well and he’s a big goaltender so it’s good to see how he moves.”
In normal times, Stuski can take a short walk to see his hero Hart play, as the 22-year-old backstops the Philadelphia Flyers at the nearby Wells Fargo Center on many fall and winter nights. Stuski has to go a bit farther to hone his own skills, as he entered his first year at Gloucester Catholic High School in New Jersey.
