TKL Golf Day...

Thanks to the Toronto Lithuanian Golf Club (TLGK.ORG) and club President Linas Saplys (at left in below pic) for allowing the TKL to join their golf day at Harborview on June 21st. Ten TKL hockey players joined in and had a terrific day, loads of laughs.


Here's Alvin handing out one of many prizes generously donated by TKL players (check out the first-rate prize table!), this one handed to tournament winner and TLGK member Vic Kaknevicius who shot 75 with Steve Podsadecki in second place with 78. Eddie G won one of the closest to the pin prizes in the 57 golfer field! Numerous door prizes and a putting and chipping contest added to the fun.

Baltic Charity Game was a success!!!

Toronto “Klevo Lapai” 4 – Toronto Latviai – 5

Gruodžio 15 d. Toronto “Vasity“ ledo ritulio arenoje vyko labai įdomus tarptautinis lošimas. Maždaug 130 žmonių stebėjo varžybas ir tuo pačiu paremė Lietuvių ir Latvių slaugos namus. $2,500 buvo surinkta nuo visų dalyvių – lošėjų ir stebėtojų - ir padalinta per pusę slaugos namams.

Latviai su pilna Komanda atvyko bet pakeliui kažkaip pametė savo vartiniką. Jonas Kurpeikis – iš Klevo Lapų komandos – sutiko laikyti Latvių vartus. Iš anksto Latviai vedė 2 – 0. Lapai tuoj pasivyjo ir sulygino 2- 2 (Petras Gverzdys, ir Steve Podsadecki (p. Vitkūno sūnus) įmušė). Vėliau Latviai parsimušė ligi 4 -2 ir vėl Klevo Lapai sulygino 4 – 4 (Jonas Mažeika ir Fred Duz įmušė). Bet trečiame kėlinyje Latviai įmušė penktą įvartį. Lapai tuoj pat sukūrė audringus puolimus bet nespėjo įmušt.

Toronto Klevo Lapų, Latvių ir Estų ledo ritulio komandos sukūrė Šiaurės Amerikos “Baltic Cup“ varžybas, kurios šuomet vėl vyksta Toronte. Mes dėkojame visiems žiūrovams ir kviečiame toliau apsilankyti Baltic Cup lošimus ir pasižiūrėti nuotrakas ant Internet: http://torontoklevolapai.blogspot.com/.
