Benevides: Portugal Judy

Training Camp Dept: After the final session of training camp in Kamloops, Benevides had boxes of freezies delivered to the field, and the players erupted in shouts of glee, like schoolkids being let out of purgatory for the summer. "It was a signature moment that camp is over," Benevides said. "It was an acknowledgment of how hard they worked." The coach also had computers for email correspondence with families , a big-screen TV and a breakfast area installed in a revamped players' lounge at their Surrey training facility to give it a clubhouse feel. The nook is stocked with milk, juices, cereals, protein shakes and breads so players don't overlook the first meal of the day. "It's all about them players ," Benevides said. "We're trying to do as much as we can for them.", according to Vancouver Sun. Benevides has two daughters, Ashley, seven, and Sarah, four, and a wife, Judy, who has an MBA from the University of Calgary and is a business professor at Kwantlen University. The former Judy Cabral hails from Edmonton and met her future husband at York University, in suburban Toronto. "It was July 3, 1994, to be exact," Benevides said. "We were going through a summer class together. And the rest, as they say, is history." Cabral is a common surname in Portugal Judy's grandfather is Portuguese and she shares her husband's love of that country's cuisine.
