Sacha Liben '98


Sacha Liben ‘98 has been appointed President of the Discipline Committee for Hockey Québec. In this prestigious role, Sacha will oversee efforts to uphold fairness and sportsmanship within the hockey community.


"I was truly honoured to be entrusted with this position and grateful for the chance to give back to the hockey community, which has given so much to our family. My time at WIC was incredibly meaningful—the friendships I made there are still some of my closest. The skills I learned, like summarizing and notetaking techniques from Mr. Henderson's Study Skills class, have been invaluable throughout my education and career. Even now, I find myself following Mrs. George's essay-writing guidance when drafting my decisions." 


Sacha's leadership exemplifies the values of commitment and integrity. Read more here.
