Just For The Fun Of It

Happy Thanksgiving Weekend! As we gather together this weekend with family and friends we thought it would be good to remind everyone about upcoming events with the Pete Petersen Basketball League in the coming weeks.

Five Guys Dine and Make a Difference Event: this Wednesday, October 16 from 5-8:30 pm Five Guys Burgers and Fries on Gardiners Road will be donating $1 from every Burger, Poutine and Milkshake sold back to our program. This has been a years long partnership, and it is always a fun time with great food too.

T shirt Sales: This is the last week to buy or order the special limited edition 70th Anniversary collection of t shirts. One more night in each division with sales ending Monday October 21st at the Graduate Division games. Don’t procrastinate! As you look around the table this weekend think about the sizes you might like to order for current or former players in your family.

RCHA Club Event: On Saturday November 2 the RCHA Brigade Association will once again be sponsoring a night of music by the band Hat Trick at the RCHA Club on Ontario Street. This has been a great event to get together with family and friends and enjoy the music of Michael K Meyers, Dan Charbonneau and Mark Ready. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased through Roland Billings or the RCHA Club Kingston – The Royal Canadian Horse Artillery Brigade Association.

Disco Fever!- On Saturday November 16 make your plans to attend a night of Disco music at the Italo Canadian Club from 8-midnight. Dig out your best bell bottoms or your white suit, listen ton the Saturday Night Fever sound track or watch the movie again. This has been a fun event in the past and this year will be no different. Tickets are $55 and available through EventBrite.

For all of these events we want to thank the organizers and t shirt sellers for believing in what we do for the children in the community. We hope you will support these initiatives if you are able to.

We have decided to close t shirt sales early thanks to the overwhelming response from you. There is still time for you to purchase from our remaining stock or to place an order that we would have to you before we break in December. Here are the last dates for sales in each division.

Little Guys: last day October 15

Girls: last day October 16

Little Gals: last day October 17

Biddy: last day October 18

Graduate: last day October 21

Don’t procrastinate! There is still time to get this special, limited edition 70th Anniversary t shirt for yourself or someone close to you that played in the league that Don Petersen built! Short sleeve $15, long sleeve $20.

We have had several inquiries about wearing jewellery, specifically earrings, and if it is okay to tape over them so that the player can participate. We have been clear in our position on this, and have published the deadlines for piercings that will allow a player to participate.
Let me repeat that now. Players cannot participate while wearing jewellery. This is a basketball rule, and NOT a Pete Petersen Basketball League Rule. Published literature that we have researched states that a person with a fresh piercing must wait six to eight weeks before it can be removed. Players will not be allowed to participate until any piercing can be safely removed by the adult in charge of the child. We will not do that for you.
We are publishing below the basketball rules, both NFHS and FIBA , that specifically cover this topic.

Jewellery Rules

National Federation of High School Sports (NFHS) Basketball Rules Section 5 Article 7

“ART. 7. Jewelry is prohibited. Religious and medical-alert medals are not
considered jewelry. A religious medal shall be taped and worn under the uniform.
A medical-alert medal shall be taped and may be visible.”
