There are three special events coming to the basketball league this month. More details will be coming as we get closer, but now that the calendar page has turned for those that still use one, here are dates to write in for things to do.
Friday November 20 – St. Lawrence College Basketball Barbeque – Once again this year the St. Lawrence College men’s and women’s basketball teams are inviting our players and their families to a FREE barbeque and basketball evening at the college. Game times are 6 and 8 pm and admission is free as the Vikings take on the Centennial College Colts. Our thanks to the college for their support and commitment to our program and to the community.
Sunday November 22 – The Annual League Two Ball Tournament will take place at St. Pat’s School starting at noon. Doors will open at 1130 for warmups and entry confirmation. The format will be demonstrated at games the week prior to the event, but here is what you need to know: 1)We will have five different tournaments – one for each division of the league. 2) Your team of two players must be from the division that you play in, but it can be from players on any team within the division. 3) We will play music for a one minute “game” and the team that gets the most points from the designated shooting spots on the floor will advance in the tournament. 4) You are guaranteed at least two games. 5) you can’t shoot from the same spot on the floor two times in a row as a team or as an individual – move around! Entry forms will be available at the gym office at St. Pat’s the week before the tournament. Graduate division teams can register at St. Pat’s that week, or on the 22nd at the tournament.
Tuesday November 24 – “Dine To Donate” at the Five Guys Restaurant Downtown. On Tuesday November 24th from 530-830 a portion of all sales at the Five Guys Restaurant downtown (Princess Street between Montreal and Bagot Street) will be donated directly to our basketball league. This is a great opportunity to enjoy the burgers and hand cut fries at Five Guys, while supporting the league. We will have additional flyers giving details in the next couple of weeks, but in the meantime – make plans to “Dine to Donate” and help the league!
