Geeks on Ice 2011

I wanted to take the following opportunity to thank each of you for your past involvement with Geeks on Ice. I have been receiving several inquiries lately on the status of the 2011 tournament. It is with regret that I have to inform you that there will not be a tournament in the spring of 2011. I have recently accepted the new exciting career opportunity which requires my full attention and a significant time commitment. I will share the details of this new opportunity in the near future.

I have enjoyed working with each of you over the last couple of years to witness the positive impact we have had together in our community. Please keep in touch and I look forward to crossing paths with each of you in my new role. Should you have any concerns or comments, please contact me via email.

Kind regards,

Trevor MacAusland

The Rising Stars Most Generous Team: and the winner is...

The Rising Stars Most Generous Team award is given to the team that makes the biggest charitable contribution through raffle ticket sales and pledges. For 2010, we have the closest margin ever between the top 3 teams. The results were so close that we needed to have a recount by a third party to validate the results.

The most charitable team for 2010 will enjoy a private two hour party in the Eric Molson Hospitality Suite for 20 people courtesy of Molson Canada.

Congratulations to all the teams for answering our call to eliminate the digital divide, however; join us in congratulating the Service Canada team for claiming the top prize!

The breakdown of charitable contributions is as follows:

Total combined contributions from the teams and their fans was $1270.00. We are projecting that after expenses (Ice rental, Officials, Canteen, etc), the tournament will have raised close to $3000 for the Future Focus Foundation. Thank you to everyone who participated!

Geeks on Ice would like to thank its sponsors T4G Limited, Holiday Inn Express and Moosers Pub and Eatery.
