March 3rd, 2010: World Math Day Contest Congratulations to Seung Jin An from Memorial for placing 78th in the World Math Day Competition out of 1,133,246 who participated from 235 countries around the world!
March 1st, 2010: "Gotcha!" Josh Witt shouts to Joey Kim The Memorial Gotcha tournament started with 17 brave and quick witted players on January 17th. Right away Joey Kim showed his superior skills by eliminating Mr. Enns and Louis B. back to back. As contestants for the Gotcha title battled it out everyone was gradually eliminated until three sole survivors remained. Joey Kim, the quick tongued killer, Jack Zhang, silent and deadly, and Josh Witt, the master of strategy. It was a hard fought 2 weeks between these finalists but in the end, despite Joey's clever elimination of Jack, the schemes of Josh Witt showed themselves to be superior. Congratulations to Josh Witt on winning the title of Memorial House Gotcha Champ!
Feburary 2nd, 2010: Interhouse Floor Hockey Champions The first place Memorial senior squad faced the second place senior boys from Flavelle in the Senior Championship game. Touted as the best match-up of the tournament, both teams were pumped up for this one. For the first half and most of the way through the second, this game was neck and neck. Connor MacLeod led the scoring for Flavelle with a hat-trick but Chris Hutton decided to close the door on the Flavelle snipers in the second half. Geoff Gallagher, Leland deLangley and Shayne Morrissey combined for 8 goals in this exciting final victory. Way to go Memorial. Final Score: Memorial - 9 Flavelle - 4!
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!
