OCAA VOLLEYBALL ALL STAR GAMES CANCELLED

This weekend's 2008 Ontario Colleges Athletic Association Volleyball All-star Games have been cancelled due to the impending storm that is forecasted for the next 36 hours.

Please find the note from Seneca's Athletic Director Linda Stapleton

Athletic Directors, Volleyball Coaches and All Star Participants:

It is with the deepest concern for OCAA participant safety, that the OCAA Volleyball All Star Game and Coaches Clinic for Sat. March 8th at Seneca College is canceled due to the impending storm that is forecasted for the next 36 hours.

We are cognizant of the disappointment players will face with this decision. The Seneca staff have put significant effort into hosting a great event and share your disappointment, but we feel it is better to be disappointed than to put so many people at risk. We apologize for the inconvenience of this decision .

We thank our sponsors, VSP and Addidas who have supplied shoe bags and sponsored shirts for all participants. We will mail each college, their participants' package.

We will forward participant lists to Humber College so that anyone able to attend the CCAA Volleyball Championships, already in progress, can still attend.
