Hearty congratulations to all our athletes who participated this past weekend in the largest Ontario based tournament in St Catharines at Brock University. As the late starts, late nights testify - this is a big event. We had several historic highlights including a complete sweep of the junior men's podium, and a total of 13 podiums in 8 events.

All the athletes who participated, not just those on the podium, in the event showed improvement and are moving in the correct direction. Swords are made in the crucible of fire and are made sharper and stronger by the process of that fire and the hammer blows therein. Athletes welcome the fire and its lessons.
A few years ago, a psychologist at University of Waterloo was asked by Robyn what is the most important skill or lesson she thought needed to be taught to kids - her answer without a pause was resilience.
Thank you especially to Coach Robyn who provided excellent support/advice while Coach Darren was in various eliminations and both were run off their feet.
Weekly Announcements:
1. We are back to our usual schedule with all trainings, including Saturday morning, as normal this week.
2. We have the Dave Davies Cup, team dinner at Jobsite and then movie night coming on Dec 2.
Let's keep it short and sweet this week.
