The Steinbach Pistons are gearing up for a special evening as we present the 2021 Fire and Ice Banquet – At Home Edition sponsored by Richardson Pioneer. The 11th annual banquet will take place Tuesday February 9th from the comfort of your own home.
Juno nominated country artists the Hunter Brothers will open the 
program with a special performance starting at 6:15pm. Then host Michelle Sawatzky will guide us through an evening of storytelling led by guest speaker, and Canadian sports television icon, Ron MacLean. This will truly be a Fire and Ice Banquet like no other and we’d love for you to join us.
Thanks to our partners at HyLife, we are offering 3-course meal packages, prepared by HyLife Corporate Chef Jean-Philippe Charpentier (JP), delivered right to your door to our attendees who reside in southeastern Manitoba.
ABOUT CHEF JP
For the past 20 years, chef JP has been cooking up creative and delicious dishes wherever he goes. Born in Les-Mees, a small cozy town southern France, JP’s culinary career began early on. After graduating from the Centre de Formation Rene Villeneuve, a Digne les Bains in the south of France at age 14, JP had the opportunity to fully show his expertise working in different French restaurants: La Marmite Du Pêcheur which specialized in fish, and a 1st star Michelin restaurant called La Bonne Étape.
After completing his studies at just 18, he accepted the challenge to start working as Sous Chef in a Cuban restaurant called The Little Havana where he developed and refined his culinary techniques.
In 2011 a big challenge was presented to Chef JP, this time on a new continent and in a new culture, to be a Chef de Cuisine at Cassis Bistro – a little French restaurant where they valued local products and showcased the fine dishes from France in Canada. Just to list a few of his accomplishments. Today, Chef JP Charpentier has brought his diverse experience and skill set to HyLife, where he spearheads new culinary projects in his role as Corporate Chef. We are honoured to have someone of his level of expertise be a part of this event.
