Field Hockey BC Volunteer Recognition Awards
In Memoriam:
Jas Chohan
Jas Chohan was a long time staple in the field hockey community, a lifelong member of India Field Hockey Club, Jas’ contributions extended from the club level as a player, coach, manager, umpire and board member to prominent roles within the League and Province. Jas spent several years as the Discipline Chair and later President of the Vancouver Men’s League and a number years as a member of the BC Field Hockey board. Jas’ sudden passing in September 2010 has left a large void in the field hockey community. It is FHBC’s pleasure to recognise Jas’s contribution.
Award to Jas’s son Paul and good friend Bill Sandhu by Ian Baggott, Field Hockey BC’s President
Volunteer Event Hosting:
The Field Hockey Victoria Local Organizing Committee for the Hosting of the Senior National Championships in 2010 and 2011
It is with great pleasure that Field Hockey BC is able to recognise the significant contribution made by local volunteers in the hosting of the Senior National Championships in Victoria in 2010 and 2011. The Field Hockey Victoria Local Organizing Committee assisted Field Hockey BC in hosting two hugely successful events. From venue set-up to ceremonies, from hosting support to media coverage, the local organizing committee did a first class job. Our sincere thanks to Ian Batey, Pat Hall, Susan Jobbins, George Kirkpatrick, Ali Lee, Mike Rodgers, Alison Sweeten, and Lyndon Williams.
Award presented to the following members of the Local Organising Committee who will also accept this award on behalf of those committee members who are unable to be with us this evening: Ian Batey, Pat Hall, George Kirkpatrick, and Lyndon Williams. Award presented by Shayne Dyrdal, Field Hockey BC’s Director of Finance
Lorne Buna
Lorne has been involved with field hockey at a school and regional level in the Okanagan Valley for as long as one can remember. Although now retired from teaching, Lorne still continues to find ways to contribute to the development of the KSS school program as well as promote the Okanagan Valley as a host for field hockey opportunities and events. Lorne volunteered to be the Tournament Director for the 2011 U16 club championship program in Kelowna and is following this up as Tournament Director for the 2011 AAA High School Championships, also in Kelowna. It is our pleasure to recognize Lorne’s ongoing contribution to the development of field hockey in the Okanagan Valley.
Award presented to Mark Saunders on behalf of Lorne, by Eric Broom, Field Hockey BC’s Director of Coaching
Community Club and League Awards:
Anne Thompson- President of Vancouver Hawks Field Hockey Club
Anne Thompson has been serving the Vancouver Hawks Field Hockey Club tirelessly as its President for the past five years. Under Anne’s direction, the club has expanded its Spring and Autumn junior programs to include younger age groups, added a weekend component to its existing U-10 program, and participated in a creation of a 7th women’s team at the senior level. Beyond the club, Anne spends countless hours each month actively representing the field hockey community at Parks Board, at UBC, and at various field user group associations. If there is an unsung hero in our midst, it is Anne.
Award presented to Anne by Patrick Oswald, President of the Vancouver Men’s League and Past President of Vancouver Hawks Field Hockey Club
Andrew Poland- Cowichan Field Hockey Club
Andrew has been the Vice-President of Cowichan Field Hockey for four years. Andrew has supported the indoor program as a technical official at the Senior BC Championships in each of the last three years. He spends every Sunday running the Technical Table for our Indoor League. Cowichan Field Hockey Club runs a junior indoor program every Sunday and Andrew is the adult liaison between the coaches, players, and parents. Andrew is one of the lead volunteers for a major fundraiser the club holds each year. If the club needs help, Andrew is there, anytime, for anything. He has an amazing giving heart and this award goes to some way recognizing his contribution. Thank you Andrew!
Award presented to Mark Saunders on behalf of Andrew, by Eric Broom, on behalf of Cowichan Field Hockey Club.
Pat Macleod- West Vancouver Field Hockey Club
Pat has been an inspirational leader in WVFHC for many years. She has been a significant player, coach, and senior administrator. Her major accomplishment has been as President of the WVFHC Facilities Society and the key driver to finally get a state of the art, international Field Hockey surface in West Vancouver. For the past decade, she has battled through broken promises, cricket club bombs, shattered Hugo Ray dreams, previous indifferent WV councils and parks departments, other vehemently opposed field sport organizations, and demoralized sponsors to achieve the dream of opening a first class facility- Rutledge Field in Ambleside. She has been relentless in pursuing this dream and has been an inspiration for those of us privileged to be a part of this team to finally get the first field hockey pitch on the North Shore. The WVFHC Club Executive believe that she is a very worthy recipient of the FHBC Voluntary Contribution Award for 2011.
Award presented to Pat by Ian Baggott, Past President of WVFHC
Paul Mounter- Vancouver Hawks Field Hockey Club
Paul Mounter- coach, player, board member, umpire, video operator, database guy, enthusiast, and inventor! We are proud to have such a dedicated volunteer in our club. Paul has put his multitude of skills and interests to work for field hockey, giving immense service to the community and supporting every effort to develop and support our coaches and players. We are extremely lucky to have him as part of our community and club.
Award presented to Patrick Oswald on behalf of Paul, by Anne Thompson, Vancouver Hawks President
