; and Billy Campbell, one of the coaches with Team P.E.I. at the 1991 Games.
“I tell my kids in my club all the time, if I didn’t have the boxing club or the Charlottetown Boys and Girls Club, I’d be somewhere else, I would be in trouble, 100 per cent." “I was getting into fights," Kennedy said. “They helped save me. I mean, I’d be done for if it weren’t for Howard, Joe and Billy. Working out at the club kept you out of trouble on the weekends. It got me through a really bad stage in my life. You didn’t have time to get into drugs or drinking because you had to go to the boxing club every night. Boxing gave me more confidence in myself.
“He impacted us all here," Ryan said, motioning to the table where he’s sitting with MacAdam and Kennedy. “I remember Joe used to get kids out of juvie and bring them to the gym. When I come back to Howard’s gym, I always work with the kids." “Along came Billy Campbell and Howard Watts … those three guys have saved and carved many young men in and out of the ring."
