www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday January 9, 2008 - 25 Tavares shares experience with fans Continued from page 23 ished the tournament tied for the team lead with four goals. But for a player who has an impressive list of individual accomplishments -- including breaking Wayne Gretzky's OHL goal scoring record and being the youngest winner of the country's top junior player at age 16 -- the team success trumped them all "It was amazing. There's nothing really like this," Tavares said. "This is the best hockey moment of my life." It came frighteningly close to possibly being the worst, though, when Sweden rallied to tie the game. "I was almost in tears when they scored," Tavares said. "We were so close." But when it was all over and Tavares got his hands on the championship trophy, he looked like a kid on a backyard rink -- except there were thousands of fans in the stands. And he made sure to share it with them, carrying the trophy over to a group of Canadian fans to give them a chance to touch it. "Our games over there were like home games," he said. "It was nice to give something back to the fans. They contributed big time." There will be even more of them next year when the tournament is held in Ottawa. Tavares hopes to have the chance to share more with the fans as Canada goes for a recordtying fifth consecutive gold.

Oakville will also be at home the following day, when it faces the Bluewater Hawks for a 1:15 p.m. contest. Contribute the maximum to your RSP. Making your maximum annual RSP contribution should be one of your key priorities. Try to contribute early in the year. The sooner you get money into an RSP, the longer it has to grow while sheltered from tax. If you don't have the entire lump sum now, a pre-authorized plan will let you make regular contributions throughout the year. Be tax-smart. Plan now to reduce taxes to the extent possible and invest tax-effectively. Keep tax breaks for capital gains and dividends in mind when you make investment decisions. And remember that the dividend tax credit has been increased. Taxation can also affect how you allocate investments inside and outside your RSP.
