Rich was not the only one involved with creating a six and under state tournament in Ottawa; He was our head coach that had the voice to make it happen. This attack on a venue that was created for so many kids in that age group because of the lack of interest or motivation so many years ago is absured. We as a coaching staff saw a need, and possibly something that may take off in the future, made a commitment to fill a void where others failed to do so. It's been a great deal of work and commitment, and worth every minute of the struggle, both to develope the six and under state tournament, and to try and hold onto it. So it's not just Rich that sees this as a struggle, but those of us that developed the idea, and turned it into reality.

As for a cash cow; That's a good one!
