A hockey team from La Broquerie has caught the attention of a national soup company. The recreation league team calls itself 'Les Habitants' taking the name from a well-known brand of pea soup.

Team organizer Greg Desorcey explains how they chose that name in the first place.

"Being from La Broquerie, always playing for the Habs, we kind of wanted to keep it that way but weren't sure how. But then the name Habitant came up in our talking and then we figured that using the Habitant soup can for a logo would be funny. One of our guys just added Les to make it plural on the jersey, added an 's' to Habitant and that was it."

Desorcey says the team has a twitter page and tags Campbell's Soup in its posts and that's what got the company's attention.

"I tagged Campbell's in the United States and never heard anything back. Then, all of a sudden, I tagged Campbell's Canada, I would tag them about how we did that night, we're the pea soup team trying to make you proud by winning, just funny stuff, nothing crazy. Then, all of a sudden, I got a direct message from them. They asked for my address and I gave them my work address. I got to work one day and there were 144 cans of pea soup waiting for me, a pallet full."

Desorcey says the team had a pea soup party and then donated the remaining 70 cans of soup to Southeast Helping Hands, the food bank in Steinbach. He adds some members of the team delivered the soup to the food bank and says the people at Southeast Helping Hands were most grateful.
