What started as a modest organizaon overseeing a few sports has grown into a comprehensive governing body overseeing numerous acvies, including 21 sports and 45 championships and fesvals.

10THE BULLETIN WINTER 2024The OFSAA ExperienceBy Carlie Regier, Student-Athlete, South Huron DHS (Carlie is in the middle row, second from the right in the team photo at the boom of the collage.)On the rst weekend of November, our Panther eld hockey team of Exeter travelled to Milton to parcipate in the 2023 OFSAA Field Hockey Championship. For South Huron District High School, a high school with a populaon of just over six hundred, it’s not very oen that we make it to something as signicant as OFSAA. With only three cuts and a nineteen-person roster, my eld hockey team knew that numbers weren’t necessarily an advantage over other schools this season or any season for that maer. Over the summer, our coach held oponal pracces twice a week to improve our skills before the season began. During the season, we worked Monday to Thursday aer school for ninety minutes each night. Our head coach, Mr. Chisholm, put every minute of free me into our eld hockey team.Throughout the season we connued to win and nished undefeated. Aer a tough bale against Goderich, our team won the Huron Perth Championship tle, and we knew we were one step closer to our goal of going to OFSAA. At WOSSAA, our team was extremely anxious to play Medway, as the year prior, we had lost 5-0 and our spot at OFSAA. We came out strong and ended up winning WOSSAA, truly a dream come true. Our hard work nally paid o, and I was beyond proud of myself, my team, and of course, my head coach and assistant coach Rose Riddel, for what we had just accomplished. With OFSAA being only one week away, we went out for a celebratory dinner and then realized it was me to start looking for donaons. Our team went to small businesses, within Exeter and the area, and within less than a week, our small community donated over $10,000 towards our trip to OFSAA. On Wednesday morning, the rst day of our travels, the team loaded the bus and we all picked our seats. Our coach could now nally relax as he had collected all of our forms and we were nally on the road. The drive consisted of talking and singing with a few girls sing near the front with masks on as they had colds. We were not allowing anything, even a cold, to get in the way of our success at OFSAA other than our own performances during the games. As our rst game began, the team pushed hard for the enre sixty minutes resulng in a 7-0 win against Salleet DHS. In this game, every athlete on the team, excluding our rookie goalie,
11got to see the eld at an OFSAA championship which is denitely something that not all grade nines would be able to say. At the next game, we won 4-0 coming out with an aggressive start once again against Clarkson SS. This game was frustrang for our team as we had mulple cards, which was something we weren’t used to experiencing. We recognized that our short corners were something that needed to be tweaked before our next game so our coach asked our opinion, and we made the decision to stay at the eld for twenty minutes and x a weak point in our game. It was cold and people were frustrated. Most of us felt stressed about how we would have me to shower, do our hair and makeup, and sll nd an ouit with lile me before the OFSAA banquet. There was sll work to do, and we weren’t going to let a small error in our short corner be the reason for our defeat. When we arrived at the beaufully decorated venue, we found our table which had a very cool bouquet of balloons. Our picture-obsessed team headed over to the photo booth and spent a good thirty minutes taking pictures together. Looking around at the table and all those I was surrounded by, it was truly biersweet as this group of people have made my high school experience one that I will never forget. As well, I knew that this was the last weekend that I would get to spend with my eld hockey family. To begin the banquet, there was a very inspiraonal speech given by Madison Babineau. Her speech allowed me to look at eld hockey from a whole new perspecve; it was not just a sport with a team, but a dream and a forever family. Then, it was ocially me to carry the banner, which was something our four seniors had been talking about forever. Kyle Dalrymple, Devon Farquhar, and Ryan Schepers and I got to walk the banner up to the front. The four of us have been training for eld hockey since grade seven when we were oered the opportunity to pracce in preparaon for our high school eld hockey career. We couldn’t wipe the smiles o our faces as we got to the front, and we heard South Huron District High School be announced as parcipants. We returned to the hotel, had some snacks, did our homework, talked, and then went to bed.The team then had an early morning, with another team breakfast and a quick bus ride to our third round-robin game. At this point, we had clinched a spot in the quarter-nal, but depending on how we did in this game against Waterloo Oxford, would decide who we would play for the quarter-nal game. Our team came out strong, but not strong enough. By halime, we were down 1-0, and Waterloo Oxford connued to control the game. It was me to step up. We hustled and le no me and no space for mistakes. In the second half, I was passed the ball from across the net and pped it into the le corner, tying the game. Our parents cheered, our team was ecstac, and our coaches were insanely proud! We now needed to hold them back, and although it was tough, we did, coming out with a 2-1 victory. This game was the best game of eld hockey I had ever played, and many of those watching said that it was the best game they’d ever seen.Due to our 3 and 0 record and round-robin results, we were assigned to play Oakville Trafalgar. We knew it would be tough, but based on our rankings, we felt we could be victorious. The drive to the eld, the warm-up, the rst half, and the second half were stressful. Our team was on re; we warmed up, we cheered, and we took the eld with the belief that this was not going to be our last game together. We were aggressive, in this fast game, nothing was more frustrang than this team’s defense. They were a wall. Nothing could get by them. We were scored on in the rst half, with an amazing aempt at a save from our goalie, Emily Smale, but we already knew that you couldn’t win without a goal, so we needed to do our job oensively. The half ended with a 1-0 lead for Oakville Trafalgar. I usually would feel worried, scared, and extremely nervous in this situaon, but I knew we were beer than this. I knew we were a second-half team, and we had every capability to win, so I pumped my team up and we took the eld for the second half. I fought so hard that my legs were cramping, but there was absolutely no me to stop ghng in this game. With the clock running low, and stress levels rising, our coach and parents on the sidelines began to tell us we were running out of me. Our coaches began to look more stressed. The clock hit two minutes, which meant we could no longer see the remaining me. Oakville got a short corner, and our mid and forward players went to half. At this point, we did and played hard. However, before we got to the defence, we were scored on again, making it 2-0 for Oakville Trafalgar with less than two minutes le. We spent those last two minutes ghng hard, with tears either being held back or rolling down our faces. The buzzer went, and we all broke down. Within this moment, all we could think about was the defeat. The team hugged unl we couldn’t anymore, and then we lined up to shake hands wishing Oakville luck in the semis. Oakville eventually went on to win gold and deserved that sweet victory. We returned to the bus and connued to grieve, but lile did we know that within days, weeks, or maybe months, we would look back at this experience and think about how amazing it really was. We had our me to be disappointed, but we could also look forward to spending our last night together as a team.We were exhausted from the day we had just had, but we were also sll taking in what we had just accomplished. Even though we were red, we are also teenage girls so we went to the mall within one hour before closing me. It was me to run again. We were literally speed-walking from store to store. Aer the mall, we headed back to the hotel, and once we got there, Coach Chisholm stood up for one last team talk. The next morning, we loaded the bus and made our way back to our small town of Exeter.Since OFSAA, we were recognized with the OFSAA Field Hockey Team Sportsmanship Award. Our school had an assembly to celebrate our accomplishments, and I connue to receive congratulaons for our team’s accomplishments this year. At rst, everyone told me that even though we lost in the quarters, I was going to look back at the experience and feel an unbelievable sense of pride for what we had accomplished. They were right. Although winning OFSAA was ulmately our team goal, I will never forget the experience I had at OFSAA. Ever. OFSAA NEWS
12THE BULLETIN WINTER 2024 OFSAA Reflections By Margie McGillFormer OFSAA PresidentI’m very honoured to have been asked to contribute to this edion of the OFSAA Bullen during OFSAA’s 75th anniversary. I served as OFSAA President from 2002-2004. During that tenure Colin Hood rered, Doug Gellatly was hired (the rst me), Diana Ranken cut back on her assistant director dues and the structure of OFSAA changed to its’ current model. I was once told by one of the oce sta that I was the most hands-on president and got involved in all aspect of the organizaon. It’s how I work. I’d like to thank the Execuve Directors, Colin Hood, Doug Gellatly and Shamus Bourdon for allowing me to do so.I grew up in Oakville and went to Thomas A. Blakelock High School. I wasn’t a star athlete but I held my own. What I really liked doing was the behind-the-scenes things, refereeing and coaching. I knew what OFSAA was but never competed there. My rst personal OFSAA memory was driving to OFSAA track in 1972 at Etobicoke Stadium. I was going to cheer on my fellow car-load of TAB athletes and help our coach, Rock Osborne, marshall for the javelin. He jokingly blamed me for us missing the correct turn and ending up on the 401 thus making us late. I didn’t have a clue what I was doing that day except holding the end of a tape measure and following his advice to not get hit by the javelin. I did learn to throw the javelin though! But what I remember most about my rst OFSAA experience was sing up on the hill watching planes take o and land at the Toronto Internaonal Airport with our triple jump competor and we both almost missed our events. Fast forward many years and I’m the department head at Waterdown District High School who’s sing at her rst OFSAA General meeng as President of SOSSA. While I watched the proceedings, I liked what I saw and decided I wanted to do that. Thank you, Andy Marnson, for seng such a good example. I kept my involvement with SOSAA and once I became an administrator, I became their Principals’ Representave for several years. It was in that role that I began my acve involvement with OFSAA. In 2003-2004, Waterdown celebrated the school’s 150th Anniversary. During that me, I came upon a photo from the 1970 OFSAA track team where Waterdown’s senior boys broke the 4 x 100 relay record with a me of 42.8 seconds! That photo was the pride and joy of my former colleague and coach Kaye Paterson and remains a viable part of our Warrior history.I got my feet wet in OFSAA championships through girls’ hockey and volleyball. Our girls’ hockey coach at the me stepped down mid-season and the players came to me to be the sta advisor so one of our former students could coach them. I had coached many of the girls in volleyball and they knew my boys played hockey and I helped out some. Next thing I know the team is o to the Beatrice Ice Gardens and the wonderful Al Rose’s many tournaments. I worked with Al for two years to run his tournaments where we had close to 90 teams in six dierent divisions. Girl’s hockey was just taking o and many teams were mostly made up of ringee players but also some high-performance hockey players. Olympian Cherie Piper was a prime example of the variety of players we had playing at the me. She was playing at almost the highest level of girls’/women’s hockey and her high school wanted to put in a team but in the lowest division. Needless to say, no one could touch her and her team won that division. Then, with OFSAA’s blessing, it became a “fesval” level championship and o we went to Pembroke and Petawawa where over six days we registered 96 teams, had four banquets put on by Fellowes High School’s culinary classes and I worked with the talented duo of Harley McDowell and Russ Holmberg. These two men went on to host several other OFSAA championships, chair the SAC commiee and won the Leadership in School Sport Award in girls’ hockey. They helped me establish the SAC commiee, design the playing regulaons and get the championships down to a size a convenor would be willing to work with. A couple of years later it became a championship in 2003 and was held in Mississauga. The banquet had Ron Ellis, former Toronto Maple Leaf and Hazel McCallion, Mayor of Mississauga, as guest speakers.Volleyball was my true love. Waterdown girl’s won bronze at the 2000 championship held at Seneca College. It was then I
13OFSAA NEWSdecided to host a championship for them and our school. In 2002, we hosted our rst volleyball championship. Mark Hesse, Atlanta Olympics bronze medal winner in beach volleyball, spoke at the banquet and let the athletes hold his medal. Unbeknownst to us we had two future Olympic competors playing on our courts – Sarah Pavan from Forest Heights and our own Heather Bamsley, a junior we moved up for the experience. Our girls eventually went on to win two golds, a silver, another bronze and the sportsmanship banner over their 12 years of OFSAA compeons. They even made it on the cover of a June Bullen.• Sarah Pavan having 75 kills in the championship volleyball nal in 2003• Mary Ward’s 4 x 100 record at 2003 track in St. Catharines• Heather Bamsley and Jenn Williams wowing the Cogeco announcer with their talent as grade 10 players in the 2003 gold volleyball game at Chatham-Kent; both went on to have great university experiences and Heather eventually playing in the Olympics• Scoring spree of Cherie Piper in girls’ hockey• Turner Fenton winning mulple wrestling championships• Ryan Ellis World Junior Hockey Medal• Mark Graham barrelling down the nish line at McMaster; watching Greg Andersen and Graham Hood compete• Many talented Waterdown Warriors who have gone on to play in the NHL, CFL and many university/colleges programs both here and in the United StatesAs President of OFSAA, you aend championships in order to bring greengs from OFSAA and to thank the convenor. I thoroughly enjoyed doing this but I’m not one to sit on the sideline. I made sure I was helping in some manner or another. Over the years, I’ve been involved with at least 20 of the championship sports which OFSAA runs. Some of them I was convening but usually I was a helper and advisor, especially for a rookie convenor. My main role these last few years has been registraon and the website. I became the one making sure all forms were in and done properly so everyone could parcipate. I think I met my match this past spring though doing ALL the South regional track and eld entries and girls AAA rugby at the same me!• Steve Sevor and I doing a presentaon on OFSAA at the CNE building for the Ontario Sport Alliance and having a front row seat to see Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip; • Running out of food at the boys’ volleyball championship (76 teams) banquet with only half the teams fed.

Nicole and Eric, you’ve a good group to work with – enjoy!• The other presidents I worked with during my tenure – Tammy Connors, Kae Jarvis, Walter Piovesan, Tracey Parish;• Working together with my daughter as co-convenors and helping her teacher-coach convenors run many OFSAA championships over the last 15 years; • Reminding the athletes to connue on in their sport as a player, a coach or an ocial. Give back!While I was president, I went to my rst Canadian School Sport Federaon (CSSF), now School Sport Canada (SSC), meeng in St. John’s, Newfoundland. At that me, OFSAA was trying to decide if they would introduce a AAAA division for schools of 1250+ students. I was informed that in Newfoundland/Labrador that the AAAA division was for a school of 125 students. I sat on this Board unl 2007 sharing many of OFSAA’s accomplishments and challenges but more importantly gaining a naonal exposure to high school sport and what it means to the athletes, coaches and schools. In 2012, Doug Gellatly asked me to volunteer with SSC and I’m sll doing it today. It keeps me up to date on what’s going on in high school sport across the country, the trials we’re facing in school sport these days and most of all, the successes. I try to report on every championship across the country because those are the important things to our athletes.In closing, coaches, remember you are seng the example for these young impressionable athletes. Sportsmanship should be your number one priority. Teach them to be a team player and school leader, to win gracefully but most of all, to lose with dignity and grace. Thanks for the memories. It’s been a blast!
