On October 9, some of our "Stock Sport" folks from the Kingston and Area Ice Stock Club (KAISC) traveled to Kitchener, Waterloo to participate in the Ontario Masters Stock Sport final tournament of the season at the Concordia Club lanes.
Kingston needed to secure a win to claim the overall championship. From May until October there is one tournament per month; finishing with the Oktoberfest tournament. We had three teams in this tournament and placed 1st and 3rd, and therefore won the tournament, and the overall point total and therefore the Ontario Club Masters trophy for the league championship. KAISC did not win the May and June tournaments, but won each tournament in July, August (September was cancelled due to bad weather) and October. However, in May and June the club still placed in the top 3.
This achievement makes history for the KAISC has it has never (even as the previous Kingston Eisstock Club) won this title. Considering that our club and this cultural sport was nearly extinct and only re-surfaced 3 years ago - this is something we are very proud of. This success is directly related to being connected to a community (South Frontenac Township) that has embraced alternative sports and provided training spaces to "hone our skills" in this sport.
