Thank you to all who took part in the Eastern Ontario Championships yesterday. I had a great time.
Thank you to the refs - Dave Campbell, Rick Blanchard, Joe Gould, and Guy Windover. We reached out to Guy just two days before the event when we learned Mike had to back out, and we were very grateful that he accepted to ref.
Thank you John Milne for adding life to the event with your work on the microphone. John emceed all of my events this year and has done a great job at all of them.
Kudos to Joe Gould for organizing and pulling together the Arm Melter Nitro portion of the event. Joe wanted 16 competitors, 8 from the east and 8 from the west, and this is exactly what he managed to get. Great job!
Of course, thank you to all of the competitors who came to participate in Arm Melter Nitro and/or the circuit sanctioned tournament.
It was great to see nine guys take part in the Grip Strength Challenge. I was surprised and impressed that so many of the competitors had such great hand and wrist strength! Next time, the events will need to be even harder.
I want to give a shout out to my teammates who pulled. Nicola had a dominant performance, as is often the case. Jeff did awesome in Arm Melter Nitro (the top competitor from Team East). Alain Piette and Robert St-Jean placed top three. And Jamieson Lalande had probably his best event ever!
There were a lot of great matches, but unfortunately there was also some misfortune. As many have heard by now Fayez Moutassem broke his left arm during the event. I wish him a full and speedy recovery. It's always great to see him.
