but it's harder losing one.

Andy Smith (2010)

On behalf of our entire Board of Directors, I am very pleased to let you know that last night at our Board Meeting, it was unanimously decided that from this day forward the winners of the Year-End Tournament each season will be presented with the Andy Smith Award at the Year-End Awards Banquet.

Andy, a very special thank you from all of us for helping to create such an amazing league 30 years ago.  Your dedication, loyalty, sportsmanship and support of the BOSL from day one until now is very evident to your peers and is very much appreciated.  30 years as a player in this league is quite an achievement as well.  You are a role model for all of us and you certainly represent everything that this league is about!

Personally speaking, it has been an absolute joy and an honour being a teammate of yours this year.  Knowing what you are going through health-wise makes the fact that you come out to our games and team functions to support your team all the more impressive. 

In closing, your well-deserved legacy with the BOSL is now firmly in place through this annual award and I truly hope that you are out there on the field with us for several more years to come!

Regards
Mike Porkolab
