Ice Hockey
The school Ice Hockey team has had an excellent season thus far. The team participated in the UCC under-12 tournament in early January and made it all the way to the Silver Cup Final. Even though the team came up just short in the end, they certainly showed signs of significant improvement over the two day tournament.
The regular season started off with a bit of a shaky start with 2 losses but the team has turned things around and won 3 straight games. The quarter finals are scheduled for February 14th at Forest Hill Arena against Northlea PS. Good luck Brown! A special thank you to all the parents for your support at each and every game.

Boys' Basketball 2011-2012
Not since the original team coached by James Naismith has the world of basketball seen such a building year. Not since the post Jordan-Pippen-Jackson Chicago Bulls has a team had such great expectations to meet. This year’s Boys’ Basketball Team had big shoes to fill, literally. After last year’s City Championship the newest boys had questions to answer. How would they deal with the entire starting line graduating? How would they deal with one coach changing schools and the other coach stepping down? Would the new team and new coach measure up?
Our new coach, Darrin, deliberated and came up with 13 athletes who he thought could step up to the challenge: Connor, Denis, Ethan, Heri, Jack, Jackson, James, Keenin, Luca, Marko, Mateo, Matthew, Sacha, Samir, and Zion.
The boys practised hard three times a week; early mornings and late afternoons. These athletes endeavoured to master the lay up, various passes and complicated plays. The words Flex, Princeton, Delilah, Kim, and Motion will never be the same for members of this team again.
The lucky 13 faced their first test on Friday the 13th in the gyms of UCC. The team fought hard and learned some hard lessons on the coldest day of the year. They came back early the next morning and taught some lessons of their own.
Their next tournament was the 2nd of February. The team battled a very tall Regent Park and hard-hitting Forest Hill to end their season.
Congratulations to all of the boys for a hardworking season.
We extend many thanks to the parents who supported us throughout the season with rides, uniforms, Gatorade and cheering at the UCC Tournament. We couldn’t have done it without you.
Special thanks to Mr. Profiti for all of his help with organizing the tournaments, booking the refs, sorting out the uniforms, providing us with fans and his general basketball knowledge.
The team would like to give extra special thanks to Coach Darrin for his hours of work at practices and at games, giving up his weekend, his patience, his expertise and his drive.
Look out 2012-2013 – We’re older and wiser and coming back for more!

The Grade 6 girls have had a fabulous season this year! It was a full season full of emotions and close games.

Grade 4/5 Girls' Volleyball
The Grade 4/5 Girls’ Volleyball team traveled to Palmerston for a 3-game tournament on Thursday, February 9th.
A 25-1 loss in our first match of the day made for a very inauspicious beginning but we rallied after that, both literally and figuratively. Strong serves all afternoon from Sydney and Paola helped to build our confidence as we moved towards our end-of-the-day encounter with McMurrich.
Our final game produced what might be the greatest comeback in Brown volleyball history. With all eleven team-members contributing, and the invocation of all powers Bieber during a timeout, the girls bumped and served their way to a fantastic 26-24 victory. Special mention goes to Kianna for her back-to-the-wall clutch serving and to the Biebs for helping us in our time of need.
Thanks to all the girls for a great season!
Mr. Macdonald, Ms Baptist and Mme Sulymko
