December 10th, 2008: Interhouse Basketball Championship The Memorial House Juniors coasted into the finals with a 2-1 round robin record. However, they were in tough against a tough MacDonald House team who gave them their only loss. Mac House featured some amazing talent. The BIGGEST talent would have been a 6'7 aussie who dominated the glass. The boys struggled to pull it together, getting beat down floor. At the half, Mac House was up 14-3. All hope was lost except for the Memorial Juniors. With a complete turn around from the first half, ours boys performed a full court press. Mac House didn't know what hit them! They could not find a way to beat the tough press. In the end, Memorial came out on top. They held Mac House to only 4 points in the second half. The final score was 19-18. Congrats Gents on a well earned championship. The quest for a 4 peat begins new year!

November 6th, 2007: Interhouse Ping Pong Championship Memorial House had two of their bests at the Interhouse Ping Pong Championship, Jean-Francois Boisvert and house champion, Nicolas Lamer. Nicolas steam rolled his quarter final opponent and moved in to the semis. JF wasn't so lucky. After splitting the first two set, his match went to a decisive third set. JF was up 20-17 with 3 match points but a few lucky bounces from his opponent cost JF the match. In the semis, Nic got off to a very slow start and fell behind 8-4. However, with his rocket, "hidden" serve, Nic fought back showing great concentration and poise. The two traded points until Nic pounced on a short ball and showed the world what "sniping" really is. Nic won the match 20-18. In the finals, Nic's opponent was last year's finalist, Andy Mok of Sifton House. This game was truly a joy to watch. The two traded points back and fourth with some of the hardest smashes I've seen in my life. Nicolas was defending and blocking the ball back from 8 feet away from the table. This completely frustrated Andy as Nic took a commanding 11-7 lead. Unfortunately, a few serves into the net and some incredibly lucky shots by Andy cost Nic some valuable points. In the end, Andy proved to have the luckier bounces of the day as Nic lost the match. Félicitation Nic et JF, well done!
March 5th, 2007: Memorial Takes Over The Throne of Floor Hockey Playing with one less player does not seem to bother Nicolas Lamer and the rest of the Memorial boys. Lamer tallied 2 goals and 3 assists including the game winner to lead Memorial to a exciting, come-from-behind victory over Flavelle. The game was a sea-saw affair with Flavelle taking a one-goal lead three times, only to to see Memorial come back with goals of our own and eventually taking the ultimate lead with less than one minute to play. Andrew Strauss was solid in goal and Bobby Priebe played excellent defence, while Alan Clow, Jean-Francois Boisvert and Lamer provided all the offence needed. Congrats boys for an excellent game and a great win!
