Hey Guys,

I’m sure all the Teams involved are fully aware of the Playoff Schedule for this week, But I’m going to share it anyway with Everyone as this may be my last Game schedule update for this season !!

The Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals are on the Line. Good Luck to Everyone !!
All Games at Charlewood 1.
The schedule shows a 5:45pm start time for Tuesday and Wednesdays games, but I would suggest a 5:30pm start time if everyone is in agreement before hand. ( That suggestion is Unofficial, merely a suggestion)
Thursday’s game is set for a 5:30pm start.

Tuesday, September 06, 2022
P0 5:45 PM Red Sox (A) @ Mariners (H)
P0 7:15 PM Mariners (A) @ Red Sox (H)

Wednesday, September 07, 2022 (IF REQUIRED)
P0 5:45 PM Red Sox (A) @ Mariners (H)

Thursday, September 08, 2022 – (1 Game Series for Bronze)
P0 5:30 PM Rock Hounds (A) @ Twins (H)

Should be a Great Finish to the 2022 Season.
I hope Everyone plays awesome and has a Excellent Week of Softball !!

Cheers Guys

Enjoy a Quote,
“It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone.” – A.

Hey Everyone,

I recently found out an interesting bit of info on one of our League Members, Dave Finn.

I’m sure most of us are already aware that Dave is also a current Board member with our CSMS 55+ League and that Dave manages one of the AAA Division Teams.
And I’m sure everyone knows of Dave’s umpiring background as well and how many of our League games Dave umpires during the season.

Dave is also the President of the Alberta 55 Plus and also volunteers as a Girls Basketball Coach in his “spare” time.
Dave is also the current Alberta Director for the CSGA (Canada Senior Games Association )

Dave was recently at the CSGA games (Canada Senior Games Association) in Kamloops BC that was attended by close to 3000 participants.

As part of being the Alberta Director for CSGA, Dave attended three days of meetings before the games even started. At these series of meetings, there was a planned election for the soon to be vacant Vice President and President positions.

Dave was nominated and was elected as the new VP of the CSGA. That gives Alberta a voice on the CSGA Board of Directors. Which is great news.

Mr Finn is now President of Alberta55 plus, the Alberta Director for CSGA, and is now the VP of the CSGA.
(as well as his other many volunteering duties)

All I can is is WOW !!

I’m not sure how you do it Sir !! But it is my Honour to Offer you a Huge Congratulations on Behalf of the Entire CSMS 55+ Family !!
Hey Everyone, the next time you see Dave, lets all be sure to say Thank you to Dave for all he does for our League and for all of the Seniors he represents across Alberta!!

Cheers Dave

Everyone at CSMS 55 +

Hello League,

Although the season is fast coming to an end.
This is a reminder to all players to not leave any valuables in their vehicles when they are parked in the school parking lot at Charleswood 2 diamond.

In a recent playoff game between the Rockies and the National, five league members vehicles were broken into and items were missing from those vehicles.

Damage occurred to several of those vehicles including broken windows.

Thanks everyone for your attention to this important issue.

Hi Everyone,

Wow, there was some Great Action at Triwood this morning for the Final Games in this Division.

The Jays took home the Gold Medal over the Dodgers, who took home Silver medal, in an exciting final game between the 2 top teams in the Regular Season.
And the Phillies took home the Bronze medal in the 3vs4 game against the Brewers.

Congratulations to all the “A” Division Teams for an awesome season of Ball.

But this years Bragging Rights belong to the Gold Medal Winners, The Jays.

Congrats Jays !!

Cheers,

Paul M

Good Morning, League:

Today’s the DAY for Division ‘A’!

At 10:00am, the Phillies and Brewers will face off for the Bronze medal. Then the Championship Gold Medal Game for 2022 will take place at 11:30am between the Dodgers and Jays. Both games at the Triwood diamond.

City of Calgary Ward 4 Councillor Sean Chu will be in attendance. Ward 4 includes the Triwood area and the Councillor will be throwing out the honorary first pitch for the Championship Game. Mr. Chu will be in at Triwood to learn about the diamond situation and our petition that the City release the Triwood Baseball diamond to the jurisdiction of the Triwood Community Centre.

If you can make it, come on out, see an exciting game and show Councillor Chu what our League is all about!

Best regards,

Gary Paukert
President
