2016 Thrifty Foods / Saanich Tigers 3 On 3 Tournament
Another Great Year!

Great weather and an excellent turn out helped make our annual 3 on 3 Tournament, held this past weekend, a huge success! Thank you to all the players, parents, team managers and coaches for coming out to play! This was the first year we’ve had the Tykes and Mini Tykes playing a similar format as the big kids and they really had a great time. Our skills competition was a big hit as well. Congratulations to our raffle winners: Matt Tytgat, Jeni Mason, and Matthew Bloom. Prizes were generously donated by Kirby’s Source for Sports, the Senior A Victoria Shamrocks, and the Intermediate A Victoria Shamrocks.

A big thanks to our tournament sponsor, Thrifty Foods, who provided the concession – food, equipment, and cooks – with all proceeds going to Saanich Lacrosse! Store Managers from the Cloverdale, Quadra-McKenzie, Tuscany, and Hillside Thrifty stores donated their time to help out this weekend – THANK YOU!

We’d like to recognize and thank those who contributed to our tournament prize tables: Kirby’s Source for Sports; the Junior A Victoria Shamrocks; Jarret Olson and Branded Athletics; and Fred Jenner.

Thanks to our volunteers from Reynolds High School, who managed the concession and provided great music all weekend. And thanks to Andrea Wentz for providing the Tiger Gear every year!

And finally, thanks to all the parents who helped make this a great weekend. Everyone who helped set up and take down the courts, put away the tables, and clean up – that was amazing! And special thanks to Steve Johansen, Ian Barnswell, James Mace, and Dean Mace for their exceptional contributions.

Enjoy the rest of your season and see you next year!
