Alumni Night is always special, and this year did not disappoint! This year it was Aaron Friesen's turn to receive his Sergeant Jersey! It is fitting that Aaron's number would be 99. (One of the greatest for sure!) Aaron was the 12th Sergeant of Battalion 3739 back in the 1998/99 Btln Season. Aaron was the 18th Sergeant to receive his Jersey in our "One forward and one back" Sergeant Jersey program! Congrats Aaron!
We also added three names to the Btln Ring of Honour. This year we added the grads from 2003. Devan England, Joe Kraftchick and Owen Spisak were all added to the Ring of Honour! Devan and Joe were not able to attend, but Owen was able to make the trip from Kelowna! I just love adding names to the list and these three are very worthy candidates! Congrats to Devan, Joe and Owen! We are all very proud of you!
As in the past, we played Murderball. Jeremy's team was mostly loaded with the younger guys and my team had the older crowd. At the beginning, Jeremy's team was very strong, winning the first two games to take a 2-0 lead. My team battled back to take the next three, giving us the 3-2 edge! We traded wins in the next two games, giving my team the 4-3 victory and bragging rights for the next year!
Tyson started in the middle for Bulldog, keeping another Alumni tradition alive. The current Sergeant is usually the one that starts in the middle for Alumni Bulldog. Kenny was our winner last year, and he was in the final three again this year, threatening to go back to back! Justin Bekker and Derek were in the final three with Kenny, and were not about to let Kenny set a new Alumni record. On the final round, both Kenny and Justin went down, giving Derek the win! Congrats Derek!
We finished the night visiting in the Youth room for about three hours! It was so good to watch the guys sharing stories and laughing together! I can't wait until next year!
Thanks to everyone that came out to Alumni Night!
THE CAPTAIN
