Floor hockey fans were treated to a fun afternoon at the annual SGA Cup at St. Gabriel the Archangel. Friday, May 6th marked the end of our SGA wellness week with this tournament being held for the duration of the afternoon. This year marked a new beginning for the cup, as it was named to honor a former SGA student, Markus Lavallee. Eleven teams joined in the action packed tournament.
As always, the spirit was evident and the team uniforms were spectacular. After round robin play, there were four teams to advance. The final game saw a talented group of boys, “Cheap Shots 3.0” versing a strong grade 12 team called The Cuban Raft Riders.
In the end, the Raft Riders claimed the coveted cup. A special congratulations to Nick, Spencer, Ryland, Zach, Matt, Jordan, Linden and Dylan. These boys were part of the conception of this event, when they were in grade 7, so it was a special victory for them. This year’s spirit award could have gone to a number of teams. However, the team called “We Are Not All Related” claimed the spirit award as a result of their enthusiasm and joy while playing in the tournament.
We all look very forward to the “Markus Lavallee” SGA Cup next May! Thanks to everyone who supported this awesome event.
