This year, the 4th Annual Awards Banquet was held on October 23. Yup, you read that right, we held a banquet in October, for the previous season while we are in our regular season for the 2022-2023 campaign. Why you ask? Well the 21-22 season was an unusual season to say the least. The pandemic impacted our ability to run a full league, no Tier 2 and only 5 teams instead of our regular 6, 2 games a night instead of our regular 3 and finally, no spectators. So yes, why not have our banquet at a very unusual time, nevertheless we still were able to celebrate the accomplishments from a year that was unprecedented. Congratulations to all the award winners!!
Congratulations to all the winners!
