On Tuesday, September 10, Men’s Hockey alumni, players, coaches and friends gathered for the first annual Paul Stothart Memorial Golf Tournament. The event supports the Gaels’ Men’s Hockey program and honours Paul Stothart (MBA’82, BSc’80), who passed away in 2012. Paul was a member of the 1981 Championship team that captured the OUA title and his record as the Gaels’ all-time leading scorer still stands. He played for Team Canada in 1983. Members of the 1981 team came out to remember Paul, reminisce with former teammates and coaches, and golf at Deer Creek Golf Course in Ajax, Ont. The tournament and reunion brought together 144 members of the Men’s Hockey community, and funds raised will support the Men’s Hockey booster club. Taylor Clements, a 2nd year player from Toronto, was the first recipient of the Paul Stothart Memorial Award for athletic excellence and academic achievement by a varsity men’s hockey player.
