Congratulations to Brad Woolnough and his family on winning the Raptor Tickets at the banquet for the game against Orlando March 29th! We just received this message from Brad “Just wanted to thank you for a great season!!!
I was the one who won the Raptor tickets
We had a great time and they were amazing seats!”
The Raptors won and the smile sums up the day nicely. Thank you Brad for sharing the experience.
Yesterday we received a very generous donation to our program from Matt Spooner and Sheila Devlin Spooner. We want to thank them for making a difference in the lives of our players and their families. Thank you for believing in what we do.
We are truly blessed to have the ongoing support from the businesses and people in the community that believe in what we do, and we will never take that belief for granted. Thank You!!

In our newsletter and earlier this week, we asked that you as families talk about minimizing the number of adults and non players attending the banquet to keep our numbers manageable, so we wanted to remind you to have that discussion.
Banquet Date: Sunday March 1, 2026
Location: Our Lady of Fatima Parish Hall.
Start time: Doors to the hall will be open by noon and we will begin serving our hot dog feast** shortly after that. The actual banquet opening will be at approximately 1 pm
Finish: We typically finish around 3 pm.
** We will have a limited number of vegetarian and Halal hot dogs available.
Today we conclude our series about the stories behind the names you will hear at the banquet with the background on the Don “Pete” Petersen Award. Much is already known about Donut let me add this comment. He was a kind and generous man who decided early in his life that he wanted to make a difference in the lives of the children in his neighbourhood so he opened the doors to St. Pat’s and made that a reality. As important as that action was, he built a more lasting legacy by teaching those he recruited to help him what was important to the children playing, and the families involved – providing a safe and affordable place where families can come together and learn the joy of being on a team.
