Electronic Registration / Payment

Posted by Michael Vandenberg at Feb 15, 2011 4:00PM PST ( 0 Comments )

Electronic registration and (optional) credit-card payment is now up and running!

We would appreciate it if as many players as possible would submit their data electronically - it saves you having to fill out a paper form and saves us having to subsequently enter your data manually.

The registration web site is: registration.gcmfl.com. Once all of your data has been entered it will give you a link to the payment site in case you wish to pay electronically. Paying electronically will cost an additional $5 (non-refundable) since that is what it costs the league to have PayPal process the transactions on our behalf.

Players who can make it to one of the registration sessions on February 27th and March 8th are encouraged to submit their data electronically and then show up in person with a cheque or cash to pay their fees and have a drink with other league members.

GCMFL AGM/Banquet

Posted by Eric Rosenquist at Oct 25, 2010 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )
The 2010 GCMFL AGM and Banquet will be held at the Broadway Bar & Grill in Stittsville on Saturday November 13th starting at 5PM.

All league members in attendance at the beginning of the AGM will receive a free beer (courtesy of the league) plus a door prize draw ticket for free 2011 registration. Members are asked to send their agenda item topics to
president@gcmfl.com prior to Friday November 12th. There will be limited time for ad-hoc discussions, so please submit your ideas for inclusion in the agenda so that they can be given adequate time.

Agenda items to date include:
  • 2010 wrap-up by the President
  • Treasurer's report
  • Discussion of 2011 fees and proposal for fee increase
  • Tournament date and location
  • Pitching calibre discussions
  • Player / pitcher draft
  • Scheduling discussions
  • Equipment - jersey style / numbers, caps, bats
  • Special 40th anniversary events (the league started in 1971)
  • Election of 2011 executive
The last item deserves special attention - we have several current executive members that have served the league for 5-10 years and are stepping down. We need new volunteers to step up and help run the league to keep it going strong for another 40 years.


The banquet portion of the evening will begin shortly after the conclusion of the AGM. Broadway will have the NHL games (the Senators are in Boston) on their televisions and the league will be presenting the 2010 awards at this time. Teams that have at least 4 members present will be given a voucher for free food and/or beer (details are still being negotiated with Broadway). Awards to be handed out are:

Playoff Champs: Taggart’s Welding
Tournament “A” Champs: Taggart’s Welding
Tournament “B” Champs: Broadway Bar & Grill Stittsville
Glen Division Champs: East Side Mario’s
Cairn Division Champs: Taggart’s Welding
Home-runs: Kevin McGuire & Jason Sabourin (3 each)
Gil Read award: Top hitter as voted by pitchers & catchers
Martin Kammer award: Sportsmanship & dedication to the game
Team MVPs: as voted by their team

For the team awards there will be a selection of gift cards from league sponsors and other local establishments. Award winners other than MVPs must be present at the banquet to claim a gift card - any unclaimed cards will be drawn as door prizes for any league member in attendance to win.

Taggart's Welding: 2010 GCMFL Champions

Posted by Eric Rosenquist at Oct 13, 2010 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )

Taggart's Welding defeated East Side Mario's in two games, both by 1-0 scores, to win the 2010 GCMFL championship. Taggart's Welding - playing as Mattamy Homes last year - becomes the first team in over a decade to repeat as league champions.

Both games of the final featured great pitching by Neil Cooke of Taggart's Welding and Billy Gerber of East Side Mario's.

Game #2 went to extra innings, with Billy Gerber throwing a one-hitter through eight. Unfortunately for ESM, a one-hitter was not good enough as Neil Cooke threw a perfect game for Taggart's Welding, who scored the only run of the game in the bottom of the 8th on a bases-loaded walk.

Congratulations to both teams on a well played final.
