A couple of weeks into the second season and the wear is beginning to show. The sore arms, legs and backs are only overshadowed by the bruises sustained by stopping a hard rubber ball traveling at 60mph. Nevertheless, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is moving into its third week with two games that should prove to be exciting.
Tournament organizer Matthew Bowes has posted a definitive page on the charity tournament that also updates the standings.
On Wednesday, Reliable Controls plays Team Telus at 6:30. The next night, Team Metamend meats meets Pareto Logic for what many (well, those of us on Team Metamend at any rate) believe will be the highlight game of the series.
Here’s an except from Matthew’s definitive page about the two charities we’re playing for:
The 2008 charitable proceeds from the 2008 Victoria Tech Community Floor Hockey Challenge will be split equally between the Mustard Seed Food Bank of Victoria and the Boys and Girls Club Services of Greater Victoria (minus expenses).
The Mustard Seed Food Bank is the largest food bank on Vancouver Island. The demand for nonperishable food continues to grow, as does the number of people who are unable to make ends meet. Your financial donation will triple a dollar’s food purchasing power. The goal of the food bank is to assist in meeting the immediate nutritional food needs of recipients while working towards long term resolutions to hunger and poverty.
The Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada have been established in Canada since 1900, and have been helping children in Greater Victoria since 1960. The goal of the Boys and Girls Club is to provide a safe, supportive place where children and youth can experience new opportunities, overcome barriers, build positive relationships, and develop confidence and skills for life. The vision for Boys & Girls Club Services of Greater Victoria is to join with families and other community members to provide services to assist children, youth and families to develop the skills, attitudes, supports and self-perceptions they need to achieve their potential.
