Team of the Week
The CSSC Team of the Week program is all about recognizing teams that are dedicated to positive sportsmanship and playing with a fun-first mentality.
How it works: Each week throughout the season the CSSC will recognize one team for their positive attitude and great sporting behavior. To be eligible, teams must first be nominated for the Lady Bing Award in a given season. All nominated teams will then have a chance to submit a photo and a short biography in order to be eligible for a Team of the Week Prize.
Prize: Each Team of the Week winner will get a shout-out on CSSC social media and also receive a $100 gift card to a CSSC Sponsor Bar.
You can help us recognize great sportsmanship by nominating a team for the Lady Bing Award. Click here to nominate a team!

Night/Div/Sport: Thursday Recreational B Turf Soccer Since our squad encourages fitness, we have found success not only on the turf, but as well as off ;) Although the success on the turf hasn’t been in the win column, we have had a number of hard and firm tangos with stiff competition and have been edging closer and closer to nailing our first victory! Our success on the turf has primarily been more in the sportsmanship category. We are always happy to share our enthusiasm with the other team, especially after the matches! Being a group of good-looking season veterans we plan to continue our team bonding through the many seasons of ball sports to come!

![]() Wookies of the Year
Captain: Chris Jackman |
Night/Div/Sport: Thursday Recreational B Basketball The origin of the name was a #fabfind from Winners. I found a shirt with Chewbacca playing Bball. It was printed on an old school trading card on the shirt with "Wookie of the Year." Couldn't resist! As a team, we have played in the CSSC for years. Hard to even count the seasons! We have a number of nicknames for our teammates including "Dirty Deeds Josh", "Hurricane Gabe", "D" and "She's On Fire!” But I'm stilling trying to figure out if that's a nickname for Leigh, or if that's what we always yell from bench because she's crushing shots. I usually get called "Coach Jay" as I'm usually helping some of the other players with skills and techniques at half time. The whole team loves to just get out for a good run and have some fun. We've made some good friendships over the years and always like picking up new players who are looking to get into the sport. |

![]() Rubber Duckies
Captain: Al Rubin |
Night/Div/Sport: Tuesday Recreational B Dodgeball Soul Train: A smooth, powerful brother with locks so curly, they let him steal your girlie. Dreamboat: A silent assassin on the court with a powerful throw. Oh, and ladies, he has abs. Lil’ Lilzy: A straight up loopy mofo. She can catch, she can dodge, and she throws a mean house party. Ice: Ignore the smile, this girl has blood so cold she can only donate it in the summer. Coach Daddio: A walking fashion show, this cat can catch throw, but the only thing he dodges are cupid’s arrows. Trunks: This hunk’s name is self explanatory. I mean, just look at those legs. Redwoods are jealous. |

Night/Div/Sport: Thursday Recreational Slo-Pitch History: "We have been playing with CSSC for 4 seasons now and have gone through just as many team names finally agreeing on Quit Ur Pitchin and we have run with it! We even made our own strike board! We all love playing softball as we love the social aspect, getting to meet new people and getting a little exercise all at the same time."

Captain: Amir Nikravan |
Night/Div/Sport: Monday Recreational Multi-Sport History: "This is our second season playing CSSC, previously we played in a basketball league and figured that wasn't' our sport. We decided to take-up multi-sport this season and we have really enjoyed it, the best part is that it gives a chance for someone new to show off their talents each week. Our team name just comes from trying to pretend like we are good at sports, when it's more of a struggle than it looks."

Captain: Andrew Parke |
Night/Div/Sport: Tuesday Recreational Slo-Pitch History: "The name Buccaneers was inspired by a teammate over some champagne. This is our 4th season in the CSSC. Our favourite aspect of the sport we play is that it’s the most fun team we have ever played with. We don’t stop laughing and look forward to every Tuesday. The team started with a several team members who didn’t know each other at all. The team now hangs out outside of softball."

![]() Smokin Bats
Captain: Ryan Pezzack |
Night/Div/Sport: Sunday Recreational Plus Slo-Pitch Seasons in the CSSC: 5 History: "The Smokin Bats have been around for about 10 years and our current group of players are the “3rdgeneration” of the team. So we have no idea how our team name came about, but we stuck with it! Our team has played with the CSSCfor the last 5 years or so. We’re a team of nicknames, and newcomers never know our first names. Our team consists of: Pezz(our organizer and ‘captain’), Zip, Ricey, Joudrey(Sometimes named Slow-drey), Skidmore, Chewie, Payn, Stinger, Craig, Cliff, Sam, Mom, MVP, K-Pants, and Chips. We show up to win, and stay for the beers and good company. You’ll always find our team hanging around the diamond afterwards socializing or making fun of each other. What makes our team special is were all a good group of friends and as we get older and busier ball has been a nice way for everyone to keep in touch and catch up every week." |

![]() Bad News Barristers
Captain: Antonio Corbo |
Night/Div/Sport: Monday Recreational Slo-Pitch Seasons in the CSSC: 1 History: "This is our first season playing in the CSSC. Some of us have played before, but for a lot of us, this was our first time playing softball. In the picture you have (from left top row, to left bottom row): Clint, Antonio (Tone), Laura, Brianne, Rhiannon, Kris, Ben, Monique (Moe), Kelsey, Stephanie (Scotty), and Jenna. We got the name of the Bad News Barristers because we all work at a law firm (funny right?). We all enjoy the team atmosphere and getting out of the office to be active and have fun. We want to thank the team that nominated us, and thank everyone we played against for being awesome. Thank you." |

![]() Panic! At The Disc Throw
Captain: Antonio Tannas |
Night/Div/Sport: Wednesday Recreational Ultimate
Seasons in the CSSC: 1 History: "Panic! At The Disc Throw was founded on the idea that running around throwing Frisbees is a great way to spend an afternoon and proven method to make beer taste even better. This is our first ever season playing, but what we lack in skills, we more than make up for in spirit. Whether it’s playing Toto’s Africa loudly on a Bluetooth speaker, our signature chant of 1-2-3 PANIC! Or the fact that we’ve never missed post game beers (even when the games have been cancelled due to weather), we always show up and give it our best. We’re thrilled to have been nominated for the Lady Bing Sportsmanship award, and hope to see you all out there on the field!" |

![]() Chupacabra FC
Captain: Austin Mireault |
Night/Div/Sport: Thursday Recreational Outdoor Soccer Seasons in the CSSC: 5 History: "Chupacabra have been with CSSC for almost 5 years now. We play outdoors during the summer/spring and turf soccer during the winter/fall. Our favourite part of the sport is giving each other a hard time when we mess up. We chose the name because our founding captain panicked and picked whatever came to his mind on the first season. We’ve really embraced it since!" |

![]() Multiple Scoregasms
Captain: Megan White |
Night/Div/Sport: Thursday Recreational Slo-Pitch Seasons in the CSSC: 1 Nominated by: Annita Wilton History: "Our team was built primarily out of co-workers and some spouses. We also had a father-in-law join as well. This was the first team we had that was our own and not an individuals team and we really found our groove! We had a blast making our players wear the strike-out tutu and even shared it with some good spirited opponents! Our favorite part about baseball is that everyone gets their shot. You don't have to be the fastest or the best hitter to shine in ball. Everyone gets their moment at the plate. It brings out the best spirit in everyone when every player gets up and leaves it all on the field every time, regardless of experience or skill level." |

>![]() SONS
Captain: Martin Danielek |
Night/Div/Sport: Thursday Intermediate Slo-pitch Seasons in the CSSC: 5+ Nominated by: Zach Foster History: "The SONS, formerly Sons of Pitches, was created 6 years ago here in Calgary rising in the ranks in the CSCC. We shortened the name to SONS as we believe we are the OG (original) Sons of Pitches to remove any potential confusion for opposing teams. We are a group of young professionals who have used the team to stay in touch and have fun despite all the changes we face in life… Two of our teammates had a boy a year ago (Parker) who is aiming to try out for the team ASAP as his dad is already teaching him to hit dingers. We’re pumped to be nominated for this award as most teams only notice how the raw skill of the women on our team. Shout out to all the teammates." |

Captain: Anne Klein |
Night/Div/Sport: Wednesday Recreational Dodgeball History: "Dodgey Ballocks started as a group of doe eyed and hopeful individuals, out to play some sports and socialize with other humans. Before long, this rag-tag group of misfits found comradery, and slowly climbed the ladder to dodgeball greatness. Championship hopefuls, beer drinkers and general shenanigan seeking, The Dodgey Ballocks is a team with heart, if not much brains." |

Night/Div/Sport: Wednesday Recreational Ultimate Seasons in the CSSC: 3 Nominated by: Chandler Hart History: "Our team is formed from the local Burning Man community so the Flamethrowers name was a natural! We have played quite a few years in the CSSC, maybe 6 or 7 but we have some new players as well who are playing ultimate for the first time! Our favourite aspect is definitely meeting new people and having fun. Our motto is if we score one point we have won so sometimes get way too excited when we score a point in the late stages of a game and are down by 6 or 7 to 0." |

Captain: Keith Short |
Night/Div/Sport: Thursday Recreational A Dodgeball Seasons in the CSSC: 5+ History: "Our team first played winter season in 2009. Jim intended to call the team the "Snow Balls" after playing the previous season on a team called Balls of Fury. The team was listed as "The Snow", however, and that's the name we've used since. The roster has changed frequently over the years, however several original team members still play, and many more of us have been with the team for at least seven or eight years now. And for us, the team camaraderie is our favourite aspect of dodgeball and CSSC." |

Night/Div/Sport: Tuesday Recreational Multi-Sport Seasons in the CSSC: 3 Nominated by: Janelle Clark History: "This is the 3rd season the Green Bowl Packers have been together. We first starting play Ultimate in the summer then decided Multi-Sport was more our speed. Our name comes from the mutual love of the color green and bowls hehe. The majority of our players are from the Maritimes (PEI, NS, NB), so it’s great to catch up once a week with friends from back home!” |

Night/Div/Sport: Wednesday Recreational Indoor Volleyball Seasons in the CSSC: 10+ Nominated by: Jennifer Fryk History: "One Hit Wonders is a company team founded at SeisWare. All of us at SeisWare have been enjoying CSSC for a little over 5 years now. Every season we try to take on a new sport to keep it fresh and learn something new! In the past we have participated in Slo-Pitch, Dodgeball, Handball, Volleyball, and Multi-Sport. We have yet to take home the championship in anything despite our attempts at a wide variety of sports. We still believe however, we will find our sport and at long last take home that glorious non-existent trophy!” |

Captain: Jessica Ollinger |
Night/Div/Sport: Wednesday Recreational Multi-Sport Seasons in the CSSC: 10+ Nominated by: Jocelyn Carriere History: "This is the second season for Whiskey Business in Multi-Sport but the majority of our team has played Dodgeball, Volleyball and Slo-Pitch over the past five years with CSSC. I think we all love Multi-Sport because we get to try and get better at a new sport each week. It's a lot of fun switching it up each week and learning new teamwork skills with each sport! Our team name was chosen for a Saint Patrick’s Day Dodgeball tournament and it just kind of stuck from there. It's punny and fun so how can you go wrong? Over the past five years our team has won some League Championships, enjoyed each other’s company and had a lot of fun! All of us are ready for the next Season! Can't wait!" |

![]() YA & Jess
Captain: Emilie Muth |
Night/Div/Sport: Tuesday Recreational Basketball Seasons in the CSSC: New this season! Nominated by: Ramon Ico History: "This is our first season playing Basketball with CSSC. Our favourite aspects of the game are being able to get together as friends, have fun, and work on our fitness. So far we have lost every game, but are still having a blast, slowly improving our skill level. Our team name is "YA & Jess" because we all belong to the same Young Adults group at our church, with the exception of Jess (top right) who is our pastor! It's also a funny joke between us because Jess is the oldest among us (thus not a "young adult") although really not by much! Thank you for the nomination." |
