After a long, and oddly warm, off season the wait is almost over for footy to make its triumphant return to Ontario. We, in the AFL Ontario Executive, are excited to see the beginning of what will no doubt be an exciting season of footy.
I am especially excited to be able to reach out to all the members of AFL Ontario with the news that the league you all love is in great hands and has been the core focus of us since the AGM last November. With 6 of us all working together to give you the best experience for a competitive, safe and fun summer of footy. Officially this year we have the following Executive members:
Vice President – Salvatore Capoferri – Toronto Eagles – 9 years AFLO Member
Treasurer – Barry Rooke – Grand River Gargoyles – 6 years AFLO Member
Secretary – Vera Santillana – Central Blues – 6 years AFLO Member
Registrar – Natalia Champagnie – High Park Demons – 5 years AFLO Member
Director of Players – Matthew Powell – Ottawa Swans – 4 years AFLO Member
Director of Umpiring – Alex Dundon – UMPIRE – 5 years AFLO Umpire
And myself – Rick Burns Toronto Rebels and this is my 16th year as a member of AFL Ontario.
I am certain that there will be challenges as we progress and can state with confidence that you have the best team in place to deal with them effectively, fairly and quickly. We have been documenting and building towards the future and will continue to show transparency and equal support for all the members of AFL Ontario.
I wish you luck this season. I trust you will uphold the spirit of the game and work together to make the season successful by playing tough, fair and joining your fellow AFLO members on the sidelines for a cold beverage or several. Remember on the field you fight till the end, off it you are all a part of this incredible community so let’s enjoy all this league has to offer.
Cheers,
Rick “Monty” Burns – AFL Ontario President.
