Two Great Events

Hamilton Tiger-Cats
1

Just wanted to say thanks to the organization for putting on two great events with the Pickup Party and the Meet and Greet at St.Caths Jack Astors.
I had to drag my 3 year old away in tears on Sunday. I couldn’t keep up with him zig zaging back and forth across the field. I’ve also run deep routes with friends over the years but nothing like my son launching 45ydrs at me… that’s a big throw!
I took him up to where his grandfather, uncle and myself sit, my wife’s picture from the field makes us look real insignificant sitting alone in all those seats waving.
Jack Astors was great. Won some stuff, talked with Obie, Angelo and the players.

I pay for tickets to go to a game and all this is bonus and completly intangible to my experience.
Obie, when I asked, said he has not seen a football organization put in as much effort as Hamilton, I beleive him and appreicate it!
Of all the Bills games I’ve been to, the actual feeling of walking on the field and or conversing with management are very remote and inconceivable. I love and appreicate the CFLs personabilty!

Thanks

if you attend the Cats Claws Fan Club dinner, MikeyD.

Many of their former team-mates will be there.

when the played together for the Tiger Cats.

It will be held[b] Friday, May 28th at Michaelangelos

Love to read stories like this. I have actually not been on the Ivor Wynne Stadium turf for such an event, and haven't been on the field since our high school championship game back in '89 I believe.

I was on the field after a game in TO a couple of years back and I can see why your child didn't want to leave. It was a cool vantage point.

One month 'till kickoff!

My grandson's were catching crisp passes from grandpa (maybe not a crisp as I would like) at centre field and got involved in a little pick up game with some other kids. The look on their faces will be something I will never forget. Memories like that are very much appreciated. Thanks to the Tiger Cats organization and staff who planned and ran the event.
