After easily rolling through the opposition leading up to the final Founders Cup Championship, the Halton Hills Bulldogs were expecting a tough test from their rival team Mimico Mountaineers. Our guys were playing in front of 1800 fans at the MasterCard Center in Etobicoke. The title match went into double overtime before Dylan Gilbert of the Bulldogs notched the winning goal. This is the first time, in 16years that the Halton Hills Bulldogs have won the Founders Cup.
Our Town is very proud of our dogs. Halton Hills is recognized as a sports community rich in volunteerism and community spirit.
We were pleased to host the young men to a barbecue. Many of the family members came along as well. They players are great ambassadors to our Town. Special kudos to coach Blaine McCaulay and his team of coaches as well as Manager Mike " the Hammer " Hancock who put together quite a team.
After the barbecue councillor Johnson and myself gave our medals to all of the players as they were honored at the council chambers.
I reminded all of the players to take in the glory as when you get older you may never be on a championship again.
