Golf Ontario Release
The weather was not in our favour for day two of the 2021 Ontario Junior (U19) Boys’ and Girls’ Match Play Championship. With heavy rain through the night, we were extremely lucky to have playable conditions today at Tangle Creek G&CC. Throughout 36-holes of golf for both the boys and girls, the rain continued and the temperature decreased, creating challenging conditions for the Round of 16 and Quarter-Final round.
The action got underway at 8:00 a.m. with the Boys Match Play taking to the course first for the Round of 16. The Quarter-Final round took to the course at 1:00 p.m., with players continuing to battle the weather conditions. Making it through to the Semi-Final round is Luke Smith (The Thornhill Club), Ethan Irvine (Hamilton G&CC), Andreas Diogenous (Whistle Bear GC), and Owen Kim (Blue Springs GC). Kim has won both the Ontario Juvenile Boys and Ontario Junior Boys Spring Classic Championship in 2021, while Diogenous is Kim’s teammate on Team Ontario and Smith claimed runner-up at the 2021 Ontario Bantam (U15) Boys Championship.
The Girls Match Play teed off at 9:04 a.m., with the Round of 16 taking place first. Weather conditions made for a slow round, pushing the Quarter-Final round to 2:05 p.m.. The girls had to hustle in the Round of 8 as the final match got underway at 3:06 p.m.. With all four matches completing just before dark, the competitors advancing to the Semi-Final round tomorrow include Alissa Xu (Station Creek GC), Sarah Gallagher (Blue Springs GC), Myranda Quinton (Blue Springs GC), and Lindsay McGrath (Rattlesnake Point GC). McGrath is the 2021 Ontario Bantam (U15) Girls’ Champion, while Xu and Gallagher are both Team Ontario athletes.
Action from the Semi-Final round starts at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow morning, with the Boys teeing it up first. The Girls take to the course at 8:16 a.m.. The Final round will take place later in the afternoon at approximately 1 pm.
Walker Storms Back
Former Owen Sound Plater Scott Walker has been named President of Hockey Operations for the Guelph Storm
Walker who played 2 seasons for the Platers before advancing to an NHL career most recently served as Special Assistant to the General Manager with the Arizona Coyotes
Previously, Walker coached the Storm winning the OHL Championship in 2014 and was part of their ownership group before the recent sale of the team.
Storm Release
.
The Guelph Storm announced today that Scott Walker has been named President of Hockey Operations for the hockey club effective immediately.
“I’m very excited to continue with the organization and to have the opportunity to work with the new ownership group and help build another championship team,” Walker said.
Walker will lead the Storm hockey staff after serving as Special Assistant to the General Manager with the Arizona Coyotes since June 2019. Prior to working with the Coyotes, the Cambridge native spent four seasons with the Vancouver Canucks as the team’s Director of Player Development.
Walker started with the Storm in December 2010 as the Head Coach. Over five seasons behind the Storm bench, he guided the team to a record of 164-94-14 while winning an OHL Championship in 2013-14 on their way to an appearance in the Memorial Cup Championship game. After earning a Gold Medal at the 2014 World Junior Hockey Championship as an Assistant Coach, Walker stepped down from the Storm Head Coach position.
“We are thrilled to have Scott continue with the club in his new role and we have great confidence in him and his abilities to lead the Storm today and into the future. This is an exciting time for the Guelph Storm and we are proud to be part of it all,” stated new Guelph Storm co-owner Joel Feldberg.
Before joining hockey operations, Walker played 829 games in the NHL with five clubs. He was originally drafted as a defenceman by the Vancouver Canucks when he played for the Owen Sound Platers. Through 15 seasons, he recorded 405 points and 1,193 penalty minutes.
