Details matter . . . we are lucky to have so many awesome volunteers here @ Faustina.
We learned of the Lakeshore Santa Claus parade date yesterday (It's on Dec 7th!).
By Breakfast this morning our draft game schedule has already been adjusted to make sure the younger kids games are moved to not conflict with the parade.
Hats off to our Scheduler Mark Toutloff and Bob Poldon (who organizes our parade participation) for thinking of the kids!
We can't thank Tim Hortons enough for their support of Tyke Hockey here @ Faustina (and for countless sports teams across the country).
Today lets help Tim Hortons as 100% of the proceeds of their Special Olympics Donut today go to support the Special Olympics.
Tim Hortons and Special Olympics Canada are teaming up to release a limited edition donut to support and celebrate Global Day of Inclusion.
Global Day of Inclusion began in 2018 and together Tim Hortons and Special Olympics Canada are raising awareness and funds to empower 47,500 Canadians with intellectual disabilities to reach their full potential through Special Olympics programs.
This year’s donut was created by 26-year-old Special Olympics athlete Tori Ranson, whose creation was chosen from more than 400 submissions. Tori’s donut features a cruller sliced in half and filled with whipped topping and is decorated with vanilla fondant and red sprinkles. Tori is an active member of the Georgetown and Milton Special Olympics clubs. Tim Hortons Special Olympics Canada
Our hearts are heavy today @ Faustina with the news that Brian Babb a great friend to all of us here and long term volunteer (of 44 years) has passed away.
Brian never missed being a part of Faustina in his 4+ decades. He coached House League and Select teams last season, was an active club member and a past president of the club and always had a smile to share.
We often share that one of the things that makes Faustina a unique community organization is the countless volunteer hours invested by many people like Brian who keep giving back to the community years and decades after their own kids have graduated from community hockey.
We have lost one of the best and a pillar of this community.

Still heart broken from the phone call that came from his granddaughter last night, Brian was a good man, loving the game of Hockey, Loved teaching and sharing with all kids his passion for the game.It did not matter if he was their coach or not. He always had a smile on his face, even if the kids won or loss, he would smile, maybe shake his head but would laugh it off. Best of all my family had gained a true friend in him and his wife Sue that has lasted over time.. Just last long weekend I spent the day at their trailer being entertained and welcomed by his family and the newest additions of great great grand babies He reached out and gave his hockey family kids who had little skill or confidence on the ice to get out there hoping they too would find joy in the game. He always made sure to include them and encourage them. Babb;s, we miss you already but you shine in so many kids you reached out to. Thank you my friend.
Just want to thank everyone for all of the kind words and love for my grandpa! He was an amazing Husband , Father , Grandfather & Great Grandfather to my daughter Ava & My brothers son Luka .He was also a hockey Coach to many of you .He taught my uncle my brother and myself how to play hockey . My Grandpa was always such a happy person !We all have a ton of wonderful memories with him to cherish for the rest of our lives .He will be missed 😔🏒🥅 Goodbyes are not forever ,Goodbyes are not the end , They simply mean I’ll miss you until we meet again ❤️
Wow I was just with him championship day. I've know Brian pretty well all my life had the pleasure of coaching with him for a numbers of years loved his passion for the game. He loved hockey and most of all his Faustina club family. He was aĺlways at peace in the arena that was his joy his love his home. There will never be another member with the drive and the determination to put the kids who needed direction first. It's was aĺlways his love and respect for the kids in the league no mater what team you played for. I will miss him dearly. Farwell one of the greatest coaches of all time
