BTLN UPDATE - LAST NIGHT OF 2019





For the fifteenth year in a row we had our year end Btln "Last Night"/ Grad party! 53 guys showed up for the "Last Night" of 2019! (There were also 53 guys at Last Night in 2018!) We started the night with the Btln favourite, Murderball! Last year we played three games and this year we played four. This year my team won the first two games, but lost the final two games. The series ending in a 2-2 tie.

After Murderball it was time to eat the nine foot party sub from Subway! It is amazing how fast all that food can disappear! In a little more than ten minutes the entire sub was gone! After fifteen years of nine foot Party Subs, Btln has consumed 135 feet of Party Sub!

Next we had the Btln Grad ceremony. This year we had five grads at Last Night. Caleb Tomilin, our sixth grad was at school in Kamloops and could not make it to Last Night. It is always a privilege to give the Grads their Bibles! We also gave them a piece of paper with the English translation of the Hebrew writing that is on the back of our shirts! Keeping with Btln tradition, the Grads ate the piece of paper after reading the translation.

We took the group picture and then it was time for Bulldog! There isn't anything quite like Bulldog on "Last Night". So many guys and so much extra energy! Mike was our final Helmet winner of the 2018/19 Btln Season! Congrats Mike!

This year the Winston Champion was Isaac Holitzki! Congrats Sergeant! Isaac set a record for the most Btln Majors won in one year! Isaac won four out of five Btln Majors! Isaac won Wrestling, Olympics, Boxing and Ping Pong!

After closing the year with the Brigade Watchword the grade 11's and 12's went to the Station for the After Party! This year we had 21 guys at the After Party! The energy in the room at the After Party is always awesome! It was so good to see all the guys having such an amazing time!

During the After Party the Grads received their Btln Medallion. It is so much fun to watch the guys pick out their Medallion. Welcome to the world of gentlemen, gentlemen.
