"Heart, Strength and Dedication -
A Leader, a Competitor, a Gentleman"

Ron Fontaine 2002-2003

Ron Fontaine, number 5, also known as Pop, Gramps, or Captain  is one of the Cowboy old guard.  Over the years Ron's job often keep him away from the game, but you knew his heart was always there.  Many times he would show up just before game time, suit on, fresh off the plane ready for the game.  For nearly a quarter of a century, Ron has always provided leadership on and off the ice. Ron's resume definitely fills the bill to be elected Cowboy of the Year.
