Long time absentee here, Spike, has been nominated for an athlete of the week award by two local newspapers and it has become a networking challenge to see who can get the most votes. I thought I'd throw it on here even though Dante's fallen pretty far behind in voting (can at least try to keep him out of the basement!). I'm sure all four kids are deserving and the honor in it is getting nominated.
Anyway, here's the link to cast a vote.

And since I have your attention, I'll throw two more youtube links of him playing from last summer's club team. Club teams are sort of the best of the best where the boys try to get the eye of college coaches attending these summer tournaments. Dante and I put these clips together and posted them to gain the interest of a coach where he'd like to attend. If they like the clip, they'll be on the sidelines to watch him play.

Voted. :yoyo:
Me too and was quite surprised they let a canuck do that.
Another vote cast and like you said a long way to go, but a very nice honor.

I got Poli kin but spelled Polli :yoyo:
I put my vote in too. Good luck with the scouts!
Thanks for the votes - need to at least beat that tennis player. I think that baseball nominee might be getting help from the Russian Government!
I voted for Dante. Looks like the votes are following the general participation numbers for each sport rather than the athletic skill.
Fascinating videos showing skill and strength. I know so little about the Canadian national game of lacrosse that I need to watch a game sometime alongside someone who can explain it. Did that onetime with a Brit re American football while he joined me to watch a superbowl in an airport pub at midnight.
Dante's moves behind the net remind me of early Wayne Gretzky in ice hockey.
I voted. Good luck to Dante.

Voted.
Got my vote . :yoyo:
Got em :eyebrow:
With 4 1/2hrs to spare I just entered my 5th vote. :readthis:
Thanks guys - just 2,000 votes shy. Do you think I should demand a recount? Hanging chads, Russians, and all that?
Damn straight you should Dave!! :yoyo: :yoyo:
:holdon: :holdon: Unless we were only allowed to vote one time!! :doh2: :doh2:
:eyebrownod: :eyebrownod:
Definitely recount! Jill Stein may have some pointers on how to get the process going. :laf:
