Our 2009 soccer season had all-too-quickly finished this weekend, but it is safe to say that all our youth and adult members played hard this summer and made this another successful Huronia Soccer season. Our annual tournament to mark the end of the season was played August 22 in Penetanguishene, with the Youth League winners sponsored by Dentistry on Main beating out Scott's R & S Heating with a win of 6 - 2. In the Adult League, once again this year's Town Grill battled for the win defeating Dr. John Augimeri with their score of
2 - 0.
It is with much gratitude that our club acknowledges the incredible support of our league sponsors this 2009 season: OPSEU, DENTISTRY ON MAIN, SCOTT'S R&S HEATING, GRAFFITI ART, DR. JOHN AUGIMERI, MCCARTHY, TOWN GRILL, and TOM MURRAY OF MIDLAND HONDA.
The entire day was filled with the great aroma of hamburgers and hot dogs served up by Huronia Refreshments. Highlights included Huronia Soccer Club T- shirts given to all the youth members and winning adult league team; the presentation of awards for the winning youth team included most improved player, most valuable player and most valuable goalie. It was great to see friends and family comfortably camped out on the hill at Tom Coffin Park to watch the teams play for the last time this season. We are so lucky to have so many supporters who come out to cheer on the players. The rain held off, the players sweated it out all day trying to secure their positions, and the fragrant smell of soaked and sweaty knee socks, shoes, and shin pads could be inhaled for miles around!! It just doesn't get any better than that!!
Awards, (and a pat on the back!) were presented to youth members on each team: Most valuable Player, Most Improved, and Top Goalie and were presented to
OPSEU
MVP: Thomas Brown
Most Improved: Michael Lacroix
Graffiti Art
MVP: Duncan Lefaive-Woods
Most Improved: Jerad Maurice
Scott's R&S Heating
MVP: Jesse Ledbetter
Most Improved: Brittany Spicer
Dentistry On Main
MVP: Michael Walker
Most Improved: Austin Martin
Top Scorer: Nick Marrocco
Top Goalie: Holly Diaz
The club could not possibly put on such an event without the year round dedication and commitment from their volunteer board members who are: Rod Billenness - President, Dan Downey - Treasurer, Bill Van Rijn - Referee, Randy Hargrave - Secretary, Phil Stoesser - Youth League Coordinator, Dr. James Fahy - Discipline , Markus Baumann - Communications, and Debbie Diaz - Promotions and Fund Raising.
Also to be thanked is Bryan Robillard and Mark Pinkney who floated the entire day to wherever they were needed, and the Referees who helped make the tournament seemless. We even had linesmen, (that's linesperson to Rebecca!) that day! Rod's organization of the tent and great food as well as Dan with the trophies and Phil with schedules, apparel and lots of paperwork all went off without a hitch, even the rain held off till the end....how'd they do that?!
Big thanks to all the volunteer coaches who gave so much of themselves this year in support of the club and the members, making the experience for all fun and challenging.We left the players that day dreaming about the day in 2010 when the season gets outside and starts all over again!

Women's Over 22 Travelling Teams nears the end of their season.By Debbie Diaz

Our two
women's Over 22 travelling teams have 2 games left to play for the
season. These two teams had good success in keeping together and
playing all their games. They will celebrate their season with a team
BBQ. I was fortunate enough to be a coach on one of the travelling
women's teams along with Bradyn Parent. Bradyn put out 100% effort
which was clearly seen with the improvement and dedication of the girls
as the season progressed. The best was being able to practice beside our other O22 women's team at MSS. It's really rewarding to hear the girls speak
about rejoining the team next season. I look forward to seeing them as
a more experienced team then too.
I want to thank every team member for being so reliable and responsible especially notifying the coaches when you could not attend games. I want to express how proud Bradyn and myself are of these girls who played hard, but also kept it fun, even when we were on the road travelling to a very far away game in a huge thunderstorm!! Thanks for hanging in there and hope to see all of you next year! Debbie Diaz |
