ALUMNI REUNIONSOn Saturday, February 26, 2005 we hosted our second annual alumnibasketball event. Our goal this year was to recognize the best women’s basketballprogramme in the school’s history, the teams from 2000-2001 and2001-2002, by presenting the players with their provincial championshiprings from the Anderson-Bailly Tournaments.Unfortunately, we hit a tough year logistically with several of thewomen from those great teams being as far awayas Florida and Africa and they were unable to makeit. Nevertheless, we were able to present rings to formerstars Lindi Campbell, Kara Campbell, KatherineWright and Coach Erik Van Dyke. We have rings for the restof the members of those teams in the Advancement &Alumni Office and sincerely hope these players will have achance to come by to pick them up personally.BasketballMontrealThis was easily our largest turnout in years aswe hit the 90 mark at Grumpy's on May 5,2005. Guests included many alumni, currentstaff, board members and several former facultyincluding Alex Philip `57, Lena Moman,and Peter Ashworth. Special thanks toRussell Johnson `87 and Steve Dizgun `79 fortheir support.24
Senior Boys’ Hockey Head to SwitzerlandAfter a long plane ride and only a day to get over the jet lag, the team practiced in Zug’s professional arena. This was quite an experience,especially considering that the pros practiced just after us. In fact, the boys got to meet the team and visit their dressing roomthanks to Mr. McNamara and Mr. Wolfe’s relationship with Coach SeanSimpson and Coach Colin Muller. More importantly, the boys had the privilegeof personally meeting import players Mike Fisher (Ottawa Senators),Niko Kapanen (Dallas Stars) and Oleg Petrov (ex-Montreal Canadien).Our first game of the tour proved to be a humbling experience. Zug wasby far the strongest team that we’ve played all year, and essentially a realhockey machine. The team included members of the professional team, thusexplaining their ability to move the puck, skate and hit better than anythingwe’d ever seen before.In the second game againstSiette the team got off to aslow start but finally cametogether in the third period. Although we were down 4-1, the boys rallied for threeunanswered goals and tied things up with three minutes remaining on the clock.Unfortunately, our efforts weren’t enough, as Sierre banged home the winner withjust under a minute and half left in regulation time.After two full days of skiing, the team experienced a rather fun-filled evening ofold-time hockey on Saas Grund’s outdoor rink. This was very special, for the simplicityand fresh air was like being a boy on the pond all over again. Needless to say,the practice attracted a crowd from the local mountain community and proved to bea truly unique event. The drills were well executed under the light of the moon, noone kept score and everybody laughed and smiled. The game was fun again!Our third game of the trip was perhaps our most solid and consistent performance of the entire tour. The team played with gritand essentially controlled the play for most of the game. Unfortunately, we gave uptwo early goals in the first period and had to play catch-up hockey again. However,this game was without a doubt a sound effort from the entire group.The final game of the tour was played in Lugano’s beautiful professional arena.Although we lost the game 6-1, it really wasn’t that kind of game, for the play swungback and forth and remained very close until the third period. With the score 1-0 forLugano at the halfway point of the second period, the referee made a rather questionablecall that gave them a two man power play. Lugano then scored twice in lessthan a minute to break away and essentially take over the game.Thanks to Coach McNamara for organizing such a wonderful trip, as well as all theparents and friends of Stanstead hockeyfor your support and dedication to theprogram. Your time and effort in helping the team has made a huge difference in the livesof the players and overall success of our season.James Rioux - CoachOUR SCHOOL25
