NOT
NEARLY AAA
On
December 5th, the Fall Broomball Tournament champions were
born. Not Nearly AAA and The Ice Queens, both undefeated,
matched up in the championship game. All the ingredients for
a championship game were present, and what promised to be
a good game, turned out to be so.
Coming
into the game, the explosive and lightning fast Ice Queens
had not given up a single goal. Through a combination of great
ice play and strong goal tending from Steve Coffin, the Ice
Queens had every right to be confident about their chances
against Not Nearly AAA.
Not
Nearly AAA had a great deal of skill and an unmatched level
of experience coming into this competition. With nearly every
member of the team returning as the Fall Broomball Champions
and the Spring Broomball runner-ups, they too had much to
feel confident about.
With
the drop of the ball, the game was on. Midway through the
first period, Coffin, and the Ice Queens, had their scoreless
streak stopped. Ken Baker scored what would be the games only
goal as he slipped by the defense of the Ice Queens and scored
one on one against Coffin. Jodi McKenna and Troy Creurer assisted
Baker’s goal.
The
game would remain scoreless despite the Ice Queens amazingly
intense surge during the last five minutes of the game. However,
the uncharacteristically strong defense from Not Nearly AAA
would prevail in the end.

Football Championship
ATO Wins!!!
With
a 3-3 record and a 4th place finish in the regular season,
ATO's chances looked slim coming into the playoffs. However,
a forfeit win in the first round moved the boys into the final
four. Waiting for them was the ???'s who had a bye in the
first round. With a 5-0 record the ???'s were the strong favorite,
but ATO with their "refuse to lose" attitude proved to be
more than the ???'s could handle. With a score of 35-16, ATO
defeated the ???'s and earned a spot in the championship game
where they would face the Has Been's. The Has Been's with
a 5-1 record in the regular season breezed through the playoffs
and were picked as the heavy favorite in the championship
game. Going against all odds, ATO was not about to allow the
Has Been's to walk away with an easy win. In their first possession,
ATO marched down the field and never looked back. Scoring
two touchdowns and two field goals was all it took. Thanks
to a very stingy defensive unit, ATO did not allow the Has
Been's to score a point until the final minute of the game.
With a score of 18 - 6 ATO walked away with the chamionship.

SOCCER CHAMPIONS
COED DIVISION
THE CARVERS
The
Carvers beat the Canam Kickballers in the finals of the playoffs
to win the coed intramural championship. It was a tie game
throughout regular play that then led to a carver goal in
overtime to clench the victory. The Carvers also had a close
game in the semi-finals where the won in a shoot out in double
overtime against Zarabounda. The Canam Kickballers ended the
season as runner up to The Carvers. They had gone 1-3 in the
regular season and managed to fight there way to the finals
and force The Carvers into an overtime match. Congratulations
to all the other teams that had participated in the coed division
making the season possible. Look to continue play in our upcoming
6v6 indoor soccer season.

OPEN
DIVISION
THE REGULATORS
The Regulators beat The Lunkers in the finals of the playoffs
to win the open division intramural championship. The regulators
scored a second half goal to win 1-0. The regulators ended
the regular season tied for last and managed to win their
two-playoff games in a shoot out to eventually advance to
the final game. The Lunkers were clearly the favored team
to win after a respectable regular season and a noticeable
showing in the playoffs only to be upset by the underdog team.
All in all it was a great showing by both teams and also congratulations
to the other teams that participated in the 8v8 intramural
soccer league.

v 4 Volleyball Champions!
"Last Minute" (left to right): John Kent,
Lee Smith, Dave Ouellette, and Davis Rogers.
In a thrilling upset, Last Minute defeated number
one ranked "The Beach Boys" in two games as part of the best
of three championship match on October 21, 2001. "The Beach
Boys" had gone undefeated during league play in convincing
fashion not losing even a single game.
However, the day belonged to the Kent, Smith,
Ouellette, and Rogers quartet as they swept the number one
seed. Last minute seemed to have an answer for every big play
made by "The Beach Boys". After the best and hardest fought
two games of the entire season, "Last Minute" was the last
to be standing as the Fall Intramural volleyball champions.
