Hi again, BA friends! Here we are, already knee deep into March, mere days away from setting our clocks an hour ahead, the annual ritual that buys us a later sunset, all for the low, low cost of having our children wake up at some ungodly hour before sunrise. And so, in an attempt to put another snowy winter in the rearview mirror, let us turn to thoughts of summer soccer! As you probably remember, we are offering two flavours of summer footie this year with the BA: Wednesday nights at JDG Park, and the old faithful Saturday mornings at Potvin. Stop whatever you're doing and... wait, that...

Hello gents of the BA, It's been a little while since our last update, surely an indication that things have been running pretty smoothly this winter season. We promise we do have 1000 words for you in an upcoming missive but need to get a quick message out to confirm and remind -- we are a go for Wednesday-evening soccer at the Julian de Guzman Park / German Club! We have plenty of exciting communications to come, in which we will share more details, but for now, the important items to remember are as follows: Registration opens in mid-March (we don't know how fast it will fill up, but if...

Gentlemen of the BA, Can't blame you for thinking we can play outdoors forever: late October appears to be the new late September! Alas, we all know it will change all too soon - darkness, frosts warnings, the age-old question, "Why do I live in a place where the air hurts my face!?" Well, allow us to provide a silver lining to the dark clouds of a Canadian winter: Thursday evenings in the dome, Thursday nights at The Bad Alibi, the indoor soccer season is upon us! Please bear with us and have a read, this communication does include information we want you all to absorb, the way you have...

What a season we had in 2022! It may seem like a previous lifetime ago for some, starting the season in frigid May conditions with guys sporting tuques, mittens and a questionable selection of their wives' yoga pants under their shorts. It wasn't long thereafter that we were taking mid-half water breaks and fighting for the shade of the one tree that adorns Potvin NW. What really sticks out to us is how many ups and downs every team had over the course of the year. - Here's how we'd sum it up: It's a Boy! (Light Blue) crawled before they walked before they ran and became men, all in one...

A hearty congratulations is owed to Chris Bradley's "It's a Boy" (Light Blue) team for taking home the trophy this summer! We brought in a consulting firm to help us improve the prize satisfaction index and the resounding recommendation was to give you guys free beer! So congrats! Light Blue has won a $200 bar tab for the team, to be used at The Bad Alibi at the year-end party (Oct 15th). Only time will tell whether Chris is forced to drink all $200 of it himself, or Dave Willey will allow a call-up from the spares list to help out. Ah, but what about the Cup, you say? Well, we plan to deal...

Hello gents, In the classic fable with which you may or may not be familiar, about a hard-working ant getting organized for the approaching winter and some silly singing grasshopper (I think it was a grasshopper, it's been a while), we at the BA strive to be the ant. That is to say, it's time to start looking ahead to the cold days that will be here all too soon and stock our underground… uh, caverns… (ok, I'm really starting to regret this analogy) with stuff to keep us warm and happy – you guessed it (you did?), it's time to think about the indoor soccer season! Indoor Registration is OPEN...

Dear gents of the BA League, Ah, here it is, the first email of the usually warmer and sunnier, sometimes wetter, and always more grass-stainy of the BA seasons – the outdoor one! Plucked straight from the flower bed that is the league and delivered straight to the crystal vase that is your inbox. Warning, this email is long – longer than a run up the wing from Mike Tourond – but please have a read, we really think it's all information you should know. First order of business, a warm welcome to the newest members of the BA Soccer League! We are convinced, and expect you will be soon enough,...

Greetings gents, As most of you are no doubt enjoying the beautiful sunshine that has graced us the last few days, it seems fitting to send out an email to close out a great indoor season; I'm told the temperature in the dome is now approximately equivalent to the surface of Venus. If nothing else, it was undisputedly the best season in at least the last 3 years! We also had our AGM which I will recap below but do encourage you to peruse the attached minutes. Indoor Cup Winners A hearty congratulations to Maroun 7 (red) for a gritty performance holding off a late comeback from Pepto Abysmal...

BLACK AND BREWED, in the wake of what seems like the most games won by a single goal, took home the regular-season honours over Great Wide Sharks by a… single point. Do you see a pattern here? Anyway, well done, gentlemen. Your "fitting" (well, we hope) rewards await on May 5 after the Investors’ Cup Final, as are those of the winner there.
