MONTREAL — Charline Labonte may soon be trading in her goaltending equipment for an apron and a chef’s hat.
While the four-time gold medallist with Canada’s Olympic women’s hockey team hasn’t given up on playing quite yet, she is already planning a career after hockey in a professional kitchen.
Her classes at the Ecole des Metiers de la Restauration et d’Hotellerie de Montreal, a top school for aspiring chefs, begin Nov. 7.
“I want to put myself in situations where I don’t have any regrets at the end and one thing that always came back into my mind was cooking,” Labonte said.
