OUTLOOK - The youngest and brightest hockey, flag football, and softball players in the riverside community were spotlighted on Friday, April 11.
At the Jim Kook Rec Plex, the Outlook Amateur Sports organization held a recognition night of their kid athletes, highlighting some of the best moments on the ice and the field in the past year, and looking to what lays ahead as ball seasons are looming with the arrival of spring.
Guests enjoyed a steak supper before OAS President Aaron Williams took to the podium, welcoming everyone and even managing to crack smiles and a few giggles from young athletes with his comic timing courtesy of a few classic dad jokes.
Coaching staff including Justine Herman, Sheena Shepherd, Trevor Edgar, Robert Solnicka, Justin Hauberg, Derek Derdall, Kylie Anholt, and Aynsley Williams spoke on their teams, touching on how the work, dedication, and sportsmanship of athletes participating in community sports in Outlook was shown. In turn, this made the coaches proud of what the youngsters were able to accomplish both on the diamond and out on the ice.
This included the efforts of kids involved in Under-5 softball, junior rally cap ball, senior rally cap ball, Under-9 softball, Under-11 softball, Under-11 baseball, Under-13 softball, Under-13 baseball, Under-15 baseball, Under-7 hockey, the Under-9 hockey team who won the Fertile Valley Hockey League championship banner, Under-11 hockey, Under-13 hockey, and the Under-15 hockey team, who captured the Hi-Way 14 League championship banner.
For those interested in getting involved with the organization, Outlook Amateur Sports is set to host an AGM meeting at the Legion Hall on Sunday, June 8 at 7:30 pm.
