Nominate Your Player or Team of the Week
To nominate a player from your Mississauga Braves Team, or the Team itself, send Toronto Star GTHL correspondent Lois Kalchman your reasons. It is not just about who scored the most goals but they're interested in a player who has learned something new, did something that demonstrated sportsmanship, or a defenceman who set up a terrific goal. Use your imagination. Perhaps you know a goaltender with a shutout streak or one who changed his style and has become more effective. The list of possibilities is long. Nominations for both GTHL Player or Team of the Week can be submitted to AskLois@sympatico.ca
