That's a Wrap!
March 24, 2025
That was a great last 10 days! We had a fun night with all teams playing on March 14th and then a fantastic 40th Anniversary Social the following day. I was pleased to award the President's Award to Brian Yakimoski and Vico Fabbri that night. I was also honored to present on behalf of all the players in the league who voted Michael Bockstael the Memorial Sportsman Award. Lots of positive feedback to our social night with the casino followed by the live bands. Special thanks to the captains and executive for all of their hard work and planning that went into the event and Trent Simpson, Gerry Choquette, Rod McRae, and Darryl Lancaster for playing in the SOHL All Star Band. Many thanks to those who donated prizes to make our silent auction a success also. This was a league subsidized event and I was pleased that after the final numbers were calculated we only contributed $2,200 out of our savings to make it happen. Well worth creating those good memories.
This last week was also a great time during our 40th Anniversary Good Times Tournament. Lots of work went into the ranking of our current league players plus the new guys playing in the tournament for the first time. All close contests with every team winning and losing a game. The tournament committee picks the ranked players in a random draw. No, the teams aren't rigged as has been suggested in good humor. The Presidents however, looks forward to having his Red team going for a rare 3 peat in next years tournament. Finally thank you to Mike Bockstael and Mike Van Dam and all of their volunteers for making this years tournament a great event. Reminder it's up to you to register for next year and it's the first week in September for the 41st year in a row.
Have a great summer and don't train too hard for next season. Maybe we'll see you at the golf tournament May 24th.
Da President
