| In
1935 a young man named Ken Cox with the help of seven other local young men
was |
|
| instrumental
in the organization of the Faustina Sports Club. Their main objective was
to |
|
| raise
money through dances for charitable purposes. WW II interrupted these
activities as |
|
| they
were called to serve their country. |
|
| |
| Under
Ken's direction the club was re-organized in 1947, expanding their membership
and |
|
| dedicating
themselves to the promotion of minor hockey in the Lakeshore area. |
|
|
|
| |
In 1951 Lakeshore
Memorial Arena was built and |
| |
the Faustina Sports Club
became the first |
|
| |
occupant for minor hockey
providing affordable |
|
| |
hockey for young people
in the Etobicoke Lakeshore |
| |
area. Many original
members assisted in laying the |
| |
concrete blocks of the
arena. |
|
| |
| |
From 1951 to this day
over 25,000 hockey players |
|
| |
have passed through
Faustina Minor Hockey. |
|
| |
| The
Faustina Sports Club has 50 active members and 20 associate members who
provide |
|
| coaching,
training, equipment, ice, officials every Wednesday and Saturday throughout
the |
|
| hockey season for house
league players. |
|
|
|
| |
|
| Faustina
has had a strong presence in community |
|
| affairs
donating to several charitable organizations |
|
| throughout. |
|
|
| |
|
| Another
of Ken's prized accomplishments was to |
|
| organize
the Sportsman Night where outstanding |
|
| athletes
with roots in the South Etobicoke area are |
|
| presented
with the "Faustina Sportsman Of The Year" |
|
| award. Past
recipients have included Elfi Shlegel, |
|
| Brian
Shanahan, Ken Hodge, Mike Pelyk, Brendan Shanahan and more recently Matt
Stajan |
|
| and
Dave Bolland |
|
| |
| It
has become a long standing tradition at Faustina to host the Annual Carl
Gordoneer |
|
| Christmas
Hockey Tournament. This year will be the 12th year. This a very fun
tournament |
|
| for
all particpants with medals and awards handed out to teams and players. |

The 2009/2010 season
marks 75 years of Faustina |
|
| |
providing minor hockey in
the Etobicoke area. |
|
| |
The year has brought many
changes to our |
|
| |
organization
including a brand new home at the |
| |
MasterCard Centre for
Hockey Excellence. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| |
This season also saw the
debut of a brand new logo and name for the Faustina Select |
|
| |
team now known as The Faustina
Fury. |
|
| |
| |
Throughout the past 75
years every volunteer member of Faustina has dedicated their |
|
| |
time and effort to
provide an enjoyable and fun environment for children who play |
|
| |
minor hockey. This too
is a long standing tradition that continues to this day and will |
|
| |
continue for many years
to come. |
