TC SPORTS BRONZE FOR TC PLAYERS
Four Tri-City athletes won bronze as part of the Fraser River Zone 4 baseball team competing at the B.C. Summer Games in Abbotsford last week. Coquitlam’s Callum Borden, Allan Dai and Brent Foreman and Port Coquitlam’s Grady Stanyer were a part of the squad that played to a third-place showing at the provincial tournament. The Fraser River squad took third after defeating the Fraser Valley Zone 3 team and finished behind second-place team Vancouver Island-Central Coast and gold-medal winners Vancouver Coastal Zone 5.
A’S WIN B.C.’S
Braden Bridge saved a penalty shot and helped set up a game-winning Blake Freeman goal in overtime to help the TriCity Raiders win bronze at the under-15 Western Canadian Cup Challenge Tournament. On their way to the finals the club defeated Calgary, Delta and Surrey before losing to the Valley team 3-1 in the semifinals. That set the stage for a bronze-medal match that saw the club use extra time to secure the win. The team also consisted of Ben Ito, Harjun Dhaliwal, Nico Pietramala, Dailen Sem, Mateo Prodanovic, Carson Maurice, Luca Cavasin, Joshua Volpe, Ethan Apostoliuk, Alec Pettingale, Kyle Manning, Matthew Ferreira, David Andrecan, Sean Brown, Daniel Choi and Carsten Shrimpton.

BCHL play-by-play man recognized 16-year veteran recognized for Clippers work
Coquitlam play-by-play man Dan Marshall has another BCHL broadcaster of the year award to add to his trophy case. The 16-year veteran, who won the nod in 2012 and
MARSHALL
2015, will share the honour with Powell River Kings voice Alex Rawnsley following their work during the 2015-16
season. “I’ve been doing this a long
time and I’m still as excited about the BCHL season as I’ve ever been,” he said, noting his appreciation for cowinner Rawnsley. “I have a huge amount of respect for Alex. If I had to choose one guy from around the BCHL that I called and asked advice of, it would be him.” Marshall has been doing play-by-play double duty for his station, 106.9 The Wolf in
Nanaimo, calling the Clippers games during the winter and the Western Lacrosse Association’s Timbermen games in the summer. His work has also been featured on ShawTV and he called the Canadian Junior Hockey League Prospects Game in Surrey last season. Hockey season is right around the corner and Coquitlam Express season
tickets are already on sale. The squad will kick things off with a series of exhibition road games in September before a season home-opener at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex on Oct. 7.

“The coaches and I are so proud of everyone on this team,” said Russ Hunter, the club’s manager. “They all worked so hard to get here and they deserved to win.” Players are between the ages of nine and 10 and do not have a world series tourna-
ment like the players in the 11 to 18 divisions, meaning the provincial championship is the highest honour. “Every baseball player’s dream is to play in a World Series,” said team vice-president Steve Tickner. “Over 25 [nine and 10-year-old] teams
started their journey in June to become provincial champions. This is their World Series.” For more information about the Coquitlam A’s Little League squad go to www.coquitlamlittleleague.ca. sports@tricitynews.com @TriCityNews
