The 18th Annual Pure X CCS Canadian8/9 Ball Championships were held March 26-30that theDelta Meadowvale Resort Hotel in Mississagua ON.
What an action packed 5 days it was! Great players from all over Canada competing for National Titles in 10 different Events in 8Ball and 9Ball. All super organized and in a Ballroom setting – it just doesn’t get any better. A big congrats to the new Standard, Open and Advanced Division Champions; all of whom will receive paid Entries and/or Trips to the 2014 Canadians.
Fending off everyone in the Advanced Team events, it was the year of sweeps, as both the TheRockteam from Toronto ON and the Island Gurls from Victoria BC won both the 8Ball and 9Ball! With their record in recent years, they are definitely the teams to beat.
It really helps your cause when you have a National 8Ball Singles Champ (or 2 or 3) on your team.
For the Rock team, it was Chris Woods who won this year’s 8Ball Advanced Singles. That makes three, as teammates Al Logan and Rob Hall are former National 8Ball Singles Champs.
On the Womens side, it was Maryann McConnell from the Island Gurls, who won the 8Ball Advanced Singles and joins teammate Andrea Wilson as a National Singles Champ.
A great new feature this year was the online Tournament System used for the first time in the Canadians by the Tournament Director – Gary Benson. Replacing all the hard copy Tournament Charts, it proved to be easy to use and very convenient.
Coupled with the introduction of Green Fees instead of plugging the tables, it helped make for a very hassle free and fun tournament.
Not all the action was in the tournament room. Out in the Foyer, the legendary Dr. Cue Tom Rossmanput on both incredible and humorous displays of artistic pool skill all throughout team play. He is the epitome of – How did he do that?
A great tournament takes a lot of help. The Canadian Cue Sport Association wishes to thank:
the DeltaMeadowvale Resort Hotel for hosting us.
Hi Country Promotions of Las Vegas for the Valley Tables and Tournament Direction by the legendary Gary Benson from Ft. Collins CO.
the ACS certified Referee Crew headed by Wayne Dwyer (Scarborough ON).

Here are the tourney hi-lights and all the new Champions:
TEAMS 9BALL
Mens Team
3 years, 3 wins – that’s a pattern. They make it look easy when it’s anything but. The Rock team from Toronto does it again (Captain – Vince MacIntyre, Chris Wood, Al Logan) by fending off all comers to claim another title. Watch out for next year though. The Looney Pool team from Windsor ON (Captain – Frank Binck, Tony Marques, Harvey Shognosh) is moving on up, having finished 3rd last year and making the Finals this year.
Finishing 3rd was the Maritime all-star team 8 Up from Halifax NS (Captain – Dave Boone, Greg Wilson, Pat Briand, Pat Brown, Colin Maloney, Dale Brimicombe).
Womens Team
Making the long trip worth it, this year’s Champs are working on their own pattern having won last year too. Once again, it was the Island Gurls from Victoria BC (Captain – Maryann McConnell, Andrea Wilson, Karen Rathlou) winning out in the Finals in a rematch against last year’s Runner-ups, theFocus team from Milton ON (Captain – Leslie Pasieka, Grace Nakamura, Darlene Gardiner, Hanna Kwong).
Finishing 3rd was the Dragonladies team from Scarborough ON (Captain – Daile Moffat, Loreen Toutant, Brenda Phillips-Ridge, Lynette Valencia).
TEAMS 8BALL
Mens Team
A Advanced – How tough was the competition? There were 5 former national Champions in the field! It was The Rock team from Toronto ON (Captain – Vince MacIntyre, Chris Pegg, Chris Woods, Al Logan, Rob Hall, Bill Lockerby III) who came out on top in the Finals against the 2012 Champs, theYoung Guns team from Windsor ON (Captain – Harvey Shognosh, Pahdahsung Shognosh, Mike Sarazin, Kyle Leclair, Kevin White) and claimed their 3rd title in 4 years!
Finishing 3rd were the 2009 Champs, Team Spain OLA! From Calgary AB (Captain – Mike Burton, Brad Whyte, Mike Aboudaher, Mark Vinogradov, Pete Sky).
B Open – This is why we have Qualifying. Very unusual, but for the 2nd year in a row, a team came up from Standard Qualifying and went on to claim the Open title. No one can say they dogged it. This year it was the Scoobie Snacks from Toronto ON (Captain – Natasha Khan, Carlin Sanderson, Laurent Saletti, Peter Hetherington, A.J. Tibayan, Gene Lew) over the Rock OutWith Your Chalk Out team from Newmarket ON (Captain – Ryan Millar, Rob Henry, Dean MacNaughton, Rob Johnson, Dennis Rhodes).
Finishing 3rd was the Republic of NFLD from St. Johns NL (Captain – Jim Nolander, Tony Conway, Steve Hann, Randy Tucker, Dennis Penny).
C Standard – Teams from Windsor ON continue to add to their fine record with the No Reservationsteam (Captain – Wayne Pheasant, Ken Kamrad, Paul Shaften, Jeff Seremack John Lidell) claiming the tile in the Finals over the Devil’s Lettuce team from Bowmanville ON (Captain – Dale Bannerman, Robb Rene, Shawn Higgins, Jason Weinhold, Sean Wynacht, Wayne Tate).
Finishing 3rd was the Kelly’s team from Charlottetown PEI (Captain – Justin D’eon, Ryan Mahoney, Jeremy Long, Adam Proffit, Trevor Gallant). Hats off to the boys from PEI who have been huge supporters of the Canadians for years.
Womens Team
A Advanced – This was a replay of the Womens 9Ball Team finals – same two teams and same result. Proving that last year’s win was no fluke, it was the Island Gurls team from Victoria BC (Captain – Maryann McConnell, Andrea Wilson, Karen Rathlou, Mary Rayner) who claimed their 2ndtitle by winning out in the Finals over the F.O.C.U.S. team from Milton ON (Captain – Leslie Pasieka, Grace Nakamura, Darlene Gardiner, Hanna Kwong).
Finishing 3rd,having played really well, was the Stacked Racks team from Milton On (Captain – Sue Okowita, Dawn Craigie, Veronica St, Jean, Sharon Gibson, Amanda Mariketa, Stephanie Virag) who were Open Finalists last year.
B Open – Close in the past, this year the Artista Cats from St.Catharines ON (Captain – Jennifer Deighton, Angie Newbold, Melvina Youg, Tracy Phelan) went the distance and claimed their 1st title by winning out over the Victorious Secret team from Toronto ON (Captain – Erin Summers, Carol Krasovskis, Lesley Boulrice, Jeanine Arseneault, Danidee Nailat).
Finishing 3rd for the second year in a row were the Press Box Ladies team from Kitchener ON (Captain – Anne Correia, Siobain McIntyre, Terri-Lee, Schmidt, Debra MacDonald).
SINGLES 9 BALL

We welcome ACS players to our tournaments and this year’s Champ came from Portage IN. It was Laurent Saletti John Golarz who came out on top over Dave Boone from Halifax NS.
Finishing 3rd was Dave Mills from St. Catharines ON.

I think this year’s Champ likes 9Ball. It was Kayla Jones from St. Thomas ON who claimed her 2nd title
in a row by beating out Maryann McConnell from Port Alberni BC in the Finals.
SINGLES 8 BALL
Mens
A Advanced – Make it 13 different Champions in the last 15 years! A perennial contender, this year it was Chris Woods of Toronto ON from the fabled The Rock team who claimed the title by winning out over Mike Aboudaher from Calgary AB, the 2009 Finalist.
Finishing 3rd was the ACS American John Golarz from Portage IN whose consistent shot making was pretty to watch.

Finishing 3rd was Kyle Leclair from Windsor ON.
C Standard – Continuing the fine play from Newmarket area players, it was Bill Michell from Bracebridge ON who claimed the Standard title by beating out the ACS American player Tom Jaeger from Portage IN.
Finishing 3rd was none other than Graham Randall, the SWOPL league operator from Kitchener ON.
Womens
A Advanced – Inspirational to watch; she’s not done yet. It was the very steady Maryann McConnell from Port Alberni BC who claimed her 2nd title in a row by once again winning out over Kayla Jones from St. Thomas ON who was the also the 2012 Finalist.
Finishing 3rd was Maureen Van de Ven from London ON.
B Open – This year’s Champ is another long time player who loves the game. A familiar face at the Canadians, congrats to Daile Moffat from Barrie ON who won out over Hanna Kwon from Etobicoke ON.
Finishing 3rd was none other than Penny Devos, the St, Catharines league operator and organizer extraordinaire.
Juniors
Special thanks once again to Larry Heywood of the Strokers Triple A League in London ON who runs a Junior Program there and arranged for them to compete at the Canadians this year.
18 & Under – In the Finals, it was Stuart McTaggart of Keswick ON (2012 Finalist 18&Under) who won out over Kayla Roloson of Springfield ON (2011 14&Under Champ, 2012 3rd 18&Under). These are two very special players to watch out for when they start playing in the regular events!
14 & Under – In the Finals, It was Nicholas Ridley of St.Thomas ON who claimed his 2nd title in a row by winning out over Nicolas Raymond from North Bay ON.
SCOTCH DOUBLES
A Advanced – With years of experience playing at the highest level, it was Rob Hall and GraceNakamura who claimed the title by winning out over Hermie Dy of Toronto ON and Loreen Toutant from Kitchener ON.
Finishing 3rd was Wayne Dwyer from Toronto ON and Maryann McConnell from Port Alberni, both of whom are always in the hunt when titles are on the line.
B Open – The players from Peterborough just love Scotch Doubles! It was all Peterborough, as Jim Fitzgerald and Marney Ready won out over Matt Wagar and Ellen Bannon in the Finals.
Finishing 3rd was Michael Gallacher, the PCSL league operator who teamed up with Karen Rathlouof Nanaimo BC.
