What a great Provincials! Record attendance, great prizes, and awesome pulling!
To be honest I missed many matches because I was running around a lot of the time, but some of my favourites were:
The first right hand match between Joel Goodsell and Joey Costello. This was a long centre of the table hook match. In the end, Joey used his experience and was able to find a way to roll out and pin Joel. It was a nice display of technique.
My second left hand match with Kade Revelstoke. He pressed me down hard to about a millimeter from the pad but I was able to hold him off just long enough for his energy to begin to drain. I haven't had that type of match in a while.
Nicola Gazzetto's right hand match with Brian Tamblyn. This was a crazy hook match that went back and forth. Nicola came out the winner -- a HUGE win for him.
I was very proud of my team's performance. Many members had great success.
A BIG thank you to Joe, Becky, and their team for a great event. There were a lot of nice touches, like the cake and the drinks named after some of the teams.
I'm happy to see that Ontario will have a very strong team at the National Championships.

I really wish I could've been there. In June I broke my wrist and just got the cast off this week. Have to go back to strength training and will hopefully be back to AW soon. Way to go guys!!! Sounded like a great event

Congrats to Joe and the team on a very well run event! Very solid caliber of pullers, good numbers, nice awards, and no long breaks made it a great event to attend!
The sport has really exploded in the Province during the past 2 years. Lots of new talent!
Thanks for all the votes on 2012 Provincials: it's an honor to host this event next year!

They sure did!!!! Had a blast and Buckhorn brought home belts!!! Almost got me a shiny new Penney but dropped it at the last second. Good times before during and after. (Joe face planting trying to do a 1 arm), LOL. Good times!!! After pulling with Jeff Slater, worth the trip and time right there. Thanks buddy for the tips on how to demolish Allen Ford. Haha!!
