This Saturday November 28th, between 8a.m. and 4p.m. (at the Canadian Tire store on Walker Rd a proud sponsor of the WMHA), the midget AE travel team will be working a special Tag Day for the Southpoint midget AE player who lost everything to a house fire last week.

The Windsor midget AE team plays Southpoint on December 5th at home where the Windsor players will be giving 100% of the money raised to this player so that he can purchase some of the items (most teenagers have) that he lost.

Please get the word out to get support for this event. If you know of anyone that can help, they don't have to go to Canadian Tire to buy anything, they just have to drive up to give a donation.

I know this will be greatly appreciated by the player and his family.

With sportsmanship in mind.
Thanks Always,

Tonight the 2010 Olympic Torchbearer for the Windsor leg of the nationwide relay was named at the city's "Together We Triumph" Gala at Caesars Windsor in the Augustus Ballroom.

And Windsor Mayor Eddie Francis announced that, person would be Matthew Charbonneau.

Who is Matthew Charbonneau you may ask?

You will remember that last year Matthew's older brother Cpl. Andrew Grenon was the first Windsor soldier killed September 3, 2008 fighting to rid the world of terrorism in Afghanistan.

To honour Grenon the City of Windsor has chosen his younger brother Mathew Charbeneau to light the cauldron on day 55 of the nationwide Olympic celebration which will culminate in downtown Windsor at the River front Plaza on December 23.

Cpl. Grenon was only 23 years old and he was a member of the 2nd Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry serving in Afghanistan. Pictured here are Mathew and his mother Theresa Charbonneau.

The night's announcement included speeches by former Windsor Spitfire and NHL great Adam Graves, Spitfire Head Coach and former NHLer Bob Boughner, Canadian Paralympian Sledge Hockey Champion Ray Grassi, Mayor Eddie Francis and keynote speaker Red Wings Head Coach Mike Babcock.

It was a late night (10pm) for the gala's emcee, AM800's Steve Bell, he joked with the audience he has to get up for work at 3 am...we here at Biz X and In Play just start rocking and rolling then!! its when we get our finest work done!!
