Well, there it is. A new slate of Captains gives us a new champion Captain and squad. Congratulations to Captain Dan Hawkins and his team on winning the 8th Annual Great Canadian Classic Hockey Tournament - perhaps the most dramatic Cup win in Great Canadian Classic history as well as the first Cup for the Ottawa franchise. And yes, for the record, we are aware that former Toronto Captain, Bud Kelly, won his 5th cup this year.
It seems to be taking longer to get this wrap up email out each year, but thanks for your patience, except for Ciupka who was probably wondering when the email would come out reminding everyone that he was now the winning Cup goalie two years in a row.
More seriously, thanks to everyone for making this year's GCC another fun day of playing hockey, hanging out, and miscellaneous adventure (the tailgate party waiting for the bus being one such adventure). Without the great spirit and love of the game as well as good times you all have, this would be a boring non-event.
Attached for your viewing pleasure are the stats from last Saturday. A huge thanks to the Stats Crew - Mike Doner and Matt Kindbom - for performing solid work in making this happen as a dynamic duo.
Thanks to all the players who donated swag - the names and companies are attached below (our apologies if we missed anyone). Thanks also to Jeff May and Scallywag's for providing the ideal post-GCC destination once again.
Although tentative now, please pencil in April 17 and 24, 2010 for the 9th Annual GCC, as it seems like we'll do this again. We'll hopefully confirm this in the fall sometime.
Thanks again from us - it was great seeing you on and off the ice, as per usual. The Convenors.

Hopefully Andre's Last Message
The Rookie Captains have performed their first part of the task - drafting their squads. Next up, GCC day. If the Draft was any indication it should be a fun day, with a verbally competitive atmosphere (in the finest tradition of Captains past), and one Captain with ultimate bragging rights who will join the ranks of former champion Captains Doug Carsley, Bud Kelly, and Mahone Schieman.
Your Captains will be contacting you in the next little bit to plan the path to glory. In addition, they will also be asking some administrative questions about your attendance at the banquet, on the bus, and at Scallywag's. Please don't drink and drive from the rink - there will be a bus to take us to Scallywag's from the rink and we can leave our equipment in a locked room overnight. Quite frankly, the bus ride is always one of the key highlights.
A few points as reminders: During the day you are on your own for food and drink - keep fuelled accordingly as the day is a long one. Normal men's league rules apply, although any fighting gets you tossed from the tournament permanently. Don't heckle the Stats Crew. At the same time, don't be too friendly in supplying the Stats Crew with beverages, at least not before noon.
If anyone has swag that they can contribute for the Awards Table and Banquet, please let us know.
Other than that, we're looking forward to seeing you on the 18th. The Convenors.

Update...
Okay, the dust of phase one of this year's Great Canadian Classic has settled. Attached below is a spreadsheet that shows you everyone who is playing in this year's tournament along with their position. Some are marked as "FD" which means the first preference is forward but the player can play D and vice versa for "DF". Please let us know if we have your position marked wrong. As you will see, we have a large number of players from last year, some alumni returning after a brief absence, and some fresh faces, all adding up for a great day of hockey.
Before we get to the Captains, a special shout out to an original Convenor, Downtown Matt Brown who is finally taking a break from pharmaceutical fun in Florida to claim some glory on the ice at this year's GCC after a too long hiatus. Downtown, bring your tan but leave your thong behind.
And now the Captains. Firstly, thanks again to our previous Captains - Matt Boswell, Doug Carsley, Ian Charlton, Mark dePencier, Chris Kelly, and Mahone Schieman. They did an amazing job every year at the Draft and on Tournament Day. Theirs is a hard act to follow but we know that the following Captains are going to be able to do the job in fine fashion, if not as loud as Charlton:
Mike Armstrong - Easily one of the least funny guys around, thrives on thinking all day about bad jokes and using them with any flimsy excuse. We all sincerely hope that Donger's team is not a bad joke for the sake of the players he selects in the Draft.
.
Paul Blyskis - Obsessed with Pink Floyd since age 3, briefly supplanted by Jim Morrison and Led Zeppelin at ages 7 and 8 respectively, Blyskis finally brings a psychedelic edge to the GCC that the tournament had been missing. We just hope that his team will be able to shake out the cobwebs and focus during the games.
Dan Hawkins - Widely noted as never having won a Cup, Hawk is easily the wild card black sheep of the new Captains. We're hoping that the Captain role will be the motivational factor that had been missing from his quest, but only time will tell.
Bill Holy - A hockey chameleon if there ever was one, Bill returns to the GCC after being on injured reserve for the last couple years. Having previously been a goalie in the GCC and returning now as a player, he thinks he has the breadth of perspective to bring the Cup, but no one really takes this theory seriously.
Jaime Purvis - What can we say about this former Ironman award winner? Full of bluster, laughs a little too easily (although that can be reassuring for the confidence of people like Donger), and has a keen ambition to...we're not quite sure other than take the official GCC Bus to Scallywag's after the banquet.
Chuck Sinclair - A fiery redhead and on the confidence level threshold, Chuck once went four tournaments without winning a game and then he marched to the Cup. Can a leopard change his spots? Will the real Slim Sinclair show up? And who is he anyway? All we know is that Hawk is nervous...
So there you have it, the Eighth Annual GCC is shaping up with knowns and unknowns and known unknowns along with unknown knowns. The Draft will be held in early April, about two weeks before the GCC. As you know, the Draft is the key to the parity, and the fun, of the tournament. So, we ask that you advise us if your status changes for some reason before the Draft. We will be in touch again in the week leading up to the Draft. We look forward to seeing you on the ice and figuring out exactly what the new Captains bring to the table. The Convenors.

A Word From Andre.....
Gentlemen, 2009 is well underway and we are pleased to bring you the Eighth Annual Great Canadian Classic. Just to remind you, Mike Cunningham, Phil D'Iorio, and me, André Nowakowski. (Matt Brown has officially been relegated to the E Pool, although he has now donned a life preserver and is muttering something about wanting to play if Cunny will have him back.) It is vital that you read this whole email, especially the "Deadline" information - we don't want anyone missing out.
The date this year of the tournament is Saturday, April 18, 2009. If you CANNOT play, please advise us ASAP as there is once again an extensive waiting list of guys looking to get into this year's tournament as usual.
Just to refresh your memory, on April 12, 2008, 96 skaters on 6 Canadian
teams laced up for the Seventh Annual - and you were all a part of it. As with the previous tournaments, there was some exciting hockey, culminating with Captain Bud Kelly and his Toronto squad taking their 4th Cup, most ever in the history of GCC. All of this, of course, was much to the chagrin to Captain Charlton who came as close as he could to assembling a championship squad. Now, it's time to do it again.
However, let's first note the passing of an era and the dawn of a new beginning. As you may be aware, the Seventh Annual GCC marked the last appearance for Messrs. Boswell, Carsley, Charlton, DePencier, Kelly, and Schieman in their roles as Captain. (Dramatic pause and deep breath, a little teary eyed.) They were great Captains but the time has come for the torch to be passed. This presents us with the only really relevant Question for this year: Who will the Convenors choose as the new Captains? Supplementary Question #1: Will those potential Captains, realizing the magnitude of the task, accept the role of Captain? Supplementary Question #2: Will the old Captains be able to resist meddling and putting their paw prints over this GCC somehow? These are all questions that need answering, but first, the getting there:
THE DETAILS
Here are some of the important details that you need to know about the tournament:
Date: April 18, 2009
Time: 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Location: Ice Sports Etobicoke (Martingrove and 409) (Same arena)
Format: 6 teams, two pools (90 players)
Fee: $120.00 (Same fee as last year)
Fee includes:
- 3 games guaranteed - 2 round robin, 1 playoff (the Finalists will play 4)(Note: We will keep the modified game length from last year: 3x10 minute stop time periods. Also, we are looking at further modifications which we will disclose when Cunny feels like it.)
- Hockey Jerseys and Socks (Uniforms to be provided – let us know if you may still have any of these as some tend to wander each year)
- Referees and timekeepers
- Post-Tournament Banquet incl. 2 complimentary beers
- Prizes
- Transportation from the Rink to Scallywag's in the heart of Toronto after the tournament.
THE DEADLINE
First, payment MUST be made in full by the deadline - there are no deposits this year. Your FULL tournament fee of $120.00 is due no later than Friday, February 19, 2009, two weeks from the date of this email. Second, your payment can ONLY be sent or given to André Nowakowski. You can send your cheque to André at 73 Highbourne Road, Toronto, Ontario, M5P 2J3. You may also pay via http://www.certapay.com/ – a number of you have used it in the past and it is pretty seamless. Once your full tournament fee has been received, you will be guaranteed your spot in the tournament. If your full fee is not received by by February 19, 2009, your spot will be opened up to those on the waiting list (and there are many). NO exceptions. None of this is negotiable. We will NOT chase you down for the fee - the onus is on you.
As in the past, your tournament fee is NON-REFUNDABLE.
For our records, please respond ASAP via email if you will be playing this year. If you know that you for sure will NOT be able to play this year,
please advise us ASAP.
Once the deadline has passed, we will send a confirmation email to those
who have sent us their payments.
Remember, all emails relating to the tournament will now be sent from this email address: greatcanadianclassic@gmail.com.
THE RULES
Just a few brief rules:
- Full equipment
- Non-contact
- No centre line for offsides
- General rules of hockey
THE DRAFT
There is little doubt that the Draft in each of the previous years has been a tremendous success, so we're going to stick to the Draft method for selecting teams. So remember, when you sign up for this tournament, you are signing up as a player. Once we have received all the entries, team captains will be chosen and the captains will hold a silent draft to pick the teams. This has the obvious advantage of distributing talent evenly among the teams. Hopefully the draft will once again help create competitive teams while giving you a chance to play with some buddies you know and some you don't.
THE TEAMS
The Great White North theme will continue with the same teams as always: Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, and Vancouver.
Once again, one pool will be the Wales Conference and the other will be the Campbell Conference. Tradition matters.
THE EVENING
Keeping with the old school theme, we will have a banquet again. The banquet will take place in the sports bar upstairs at the arena where we'll engage in the age-old transition game - switching from playing hockey to fuelling up with beer and food and performing comprehensive post-tournament hockey analysis. Scallywag's will be the destination for this year's post banquet festivities with the Cup.
THE CHARITY
We're very excited let you know that we will again be making a donation on behalf of the tournament to the "Let's Learn Hockey" programme run via the Ontario Minor Hockey Foundation via the Ontario Minor Hockey Association. You can find out more about this programme at http://www.hockeyfoundation.ca/ and http://www.omha.net/flash.asp?page_id=279.
In short, the programme helps out kids with financial difficulties get outfitted with hockey gear, subsidize their hockey registration for a season, and attend a one day training camp. After last year's tournament we were able to donate $1,750 to the programme. All in all, we think this is still a great fit and we hope you do as well.
THE FANS
It seems as though our fan base has increased each year. Feel free to invite significant others, kids etc. to come check out the action and make the day a family affair, at least until the sun goes down. Keep in mind, some may like to treat this as a "boys" day so advise your fans of the various antics that might be witnessed, in addition to the stellar hockey. Nonetheless, it will be great to grow that fan base.
That's it for now. We're looking forward to seeing you again on the ice at
the Eighth Annual Great Canadian Classic on April 18, 2009. Talk to you soon. The Convenors.
