Congratulations



Congratulations to Matt and the Newmarket floor hockey team for their gold medal win at the  2012 Special Olympics Canada Winter Games. What an accomplishment!


The Canada games are a qualifier for the World Games in Korea so some of the winning teams will be heading to these games. Because there are four divisions in the hockey competition, Special Olympics will now decide which hockey team will go to Korea to represent Canada. When Matt told me about this, I have to say my first reaction was to wonder why there was no round robin, play off games, shoot out, something to determine the winning team. But he was comfortable with the process which to me, reflects true sportsmanship. 


So, while the slogan for the games was Be Bold, Go for Gold, within this competitive spirit true sportsmanship can be found.
