Headmaster's Welcome Dear Parents, Coaches, Participants, and Supporters,
Rundle Academy is excited to host the 2017 Alberta 1A Boys Provincial Basketball Tournament. Our motto at Rundle Academy is "We Move Mountains," and by virtue of your participation in this event, you are epitomizing these words. Parents: Thank you for your ongoing support, patience, and positivity shown towards your athletes and the other athletes in this competition. You have logged many hours in the bleachers being your team's number one fan, and for this, I applaud you. Coaches: Thank you for your volunteerism and your dedication to the personal, social, and athletic development of these young men. As these athletes graduate your basketball programs, they no doubt will be leaving with the core values of grit, teamwork, and the competitive spirit. These skills will serve them well as they continue on their journey in sport and life. Supporters: Thank you for your generosity and spirit. Without you, our coaches, parents, and athletes would not have the opportunity to celebrate their successes this year! Athletes: Thank you for your dedication to excellence in athletics, academics, and citizenship. As you all know, the game of basketball is a metaphor for life. Sometimes your shots will fall , sometimes someone will foul you, and sometimes you and your team will come out on top and other times you and your team will fail. However, no matter the outcome, at the end of it all, you shake hands and congratulate your opponents and set forth on continued growth and development. Competing in the 1A Boys Provincial Tournament is no different; when you finish we will all be ready to reflect on our experiences and continue on our own journeys of growth. I wish each parent, coach, supporter and athlete all the best in their own attempts to move mountains. Sincerely. Jason Roger s Headmaster, Rundle College Society
Principal's Welcome Dear Parents, Coaches, Participants, and Supporters,
I feel very fortunate to welcome you all to the 2017 1A Provincial Championships for the 2016-2017 school year. Basketball has always been a sport that has exemplified the importance of working as a team. From offensive and defensive formations to the rhythm that exists when each player is in sync, basketball teaches us how to work together to achieve a common goal. In addition, the amount of hard work and dedication that goes into developing this synchronicity is the difference between what makes teams good and what makes them great. Being one of only 12 teams in the province to qualify for these Provincials is indicative of your dedication to being great and an achievement that should make each and every athlete very proud. What makes hosting a tournament like this so worthwhile, is the fact that our community has the opportunity to witness the culmination of each team?s hard work put into action. As we come together this March, we look forward to the ability to celebrate the achievement of those who have qualified for this championship. Regardless of each team's result, whether it be a win or a loss, we commend you for everything you have done to get here and the talents you will share with us all. To borrow the motto from the National Basketball League of Canada? ?It?s Show time!
Sincerely. Keit h Van der M eer Principal, Rundle College Academy
Guest Speaker I nformation BI OGRAPH Y: Brad Spence was 19 when the I OC announced in July 2003 that Vancouver would host the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. He immediately decided he would do whatever it took to be on the Canadian team for the home Games. W hat that eventually included was coming back from a career-threatening injury that took him out of competition for nearly three years. During the World Cup downhill in Bormio on December 29, 2005 Spence crashed and ended up with a broken tibia and fibula as well as a torn ACL and MCL in his right knee. He returned to competition in December 2008 and got back on the World Cup circuit in February 2009. After the crash, Spence became a technical specialist, competing in slalom and giant slalom. He earned his spot on the 2010 Olympic team with career-high 12th place finishes in the slalom at Alta Badia (December 2009) and Kitzbuehel (January 2010). Spence?s Olympic debut was eventful. Stuck on a gondola, he made it to the start gate for the giant slalom with just eight racers to go before him and went on to finish 42nd. But instead of being nervous about his first Olympic race, he had something else to focus on. Hoping for a top-10 result in the slalom, he fell about halfway through his first run and did not finish. Spence had his most consistent season in 2011-12 when he finished in the top 30 in nine of the 10 World Cup slalom races. He underwent more surgery in March 2012 to repair damaged cartilage in his right knee after battling pain all season. After 274 days of being sidelined, he returned to the slopes and earned another trip to the Olympic Games at Sochi 2014. T here he wore a helmet featuring a design by 17-year-old Gillian O?Blenes who was undergoing chemotherapy for osteosarcoma.
