Alumni Night always has a different mix of guys, making every unique. This year we had 34 men at the 12th Btln Alumni Night! One of the highlights of Alumni Night is always giving away the Sergeant Jersey. This year it was Jeremy Feddersen's turn! Jeremy was the 11th Sergeant of Battalion 3739 in the 1997/98 Btln Season. Jeremy was the 20th Sergeant to receive his Jersey in our "One forward and one back" Sergeant Jersey program! Congrats Jeremy!
We also added five names to the Btln Ring of Honour. This year we added the grads from 2004. Tim Feenstra, Mike Hughes, Kenny Johnson, Brad Pauls and Justin Thompson were all added to the Ring of Honour! It is not always possible to have the men that are being inducted available for Alumni Night, but that does not mean that we don't celebrate! (Maybe we will be able to have some of these Legends next year!) We were able to take a picture with Brad on the 24th, it is so good to add the names of these Btln Legends! Congrats to Tim, Mike, Kenny, Brad and Justin! We are all very proud of you!
As in the past, we played Murderball. The details are a little fuzzy now, it has been almost two weeks. We played five games, and I am pretty sure my team came out ahead 3-2! At least that is the way I remember it.
I am never sure if I should be making changes to our order of events on Alumni Night. This year I suggested that maybe we would not play British Bulldog. I was quickly informed by the group that we could not have Alumni Night without Bulldog!
Luke 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.
It has to be the most dangerous Bulldog of the year! So many really big guys!
Joe Kraftchick was our Bulldog winner! Congrats Joe!
We finished the night visiting in the Youth room. 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
