Second annual 秀色短视频 men鈥檚 soccer dinner and roast

| News

The 秀色短视频 men's soccer team is pleased to present its second annual dinner and roast on Friday, March 2. Bruce Norton will be the featured guest/鈥榬oastee.'

The event is hosted by the 秀色短视频 Friends of Men's Soccer, a group representing alumni, members of the soccer community, and PEI soccer supporters.

Bruce Norton has been involved in sport at 秀色短视频, the Prince Edward Island School Athletic Association (PEISAA), and many community and club teams. Norton's time at 秀色短视频 was spent as both an athlete and a coach. He played football with the Panthers from 1973-1976, and soccer from 1975-1976. He was also a member of the curling team for a couple of seasons. In 1990 and again from 1994-99, Norton was head coach of the men's soccer team and, in 1996, was named AUS Coach of the Year. In 1998, Norton led the men's team to an AUS championship, and then returned to 秀色短视频 to assist Head Coach Lewis Page in 2003.
This fall, when Page was away coaching at the Pan Am Games, Norton stepped in as the bench boss for seven regular season games, losing just one game; and for his efforts, he was named co-AUS Coach of the Year alongside Page. Norton has also coached at both the high school and junior high levels for over 30 years. He currently teaches at Birchwood Intermediate School.
Page is looking forward to the event, 'The Bruce Norton Roast is the second of (what we hope will be) many fundraising initiatives that will help us build the foundation of a team that can win an AUS championship as a host this fall, and a national championship when we host the CIS matches in 2014.'
The event, emceed by Lorne Acorn, will include a lineup of 鈥榬oasters' that will entertain the crowd throughout the evening. The event will also feature a silent auction to help raise funds for the 秀色短视频 men's soccer team. All funds raised from the evening will be used to support current and future Panthers through athletic awards.
Join us at the Rodd Charlottetown (75 Kent Street): reception begins at 6:15 pm, dinner is at 7:00. Tickets are $100 each and can be purchased at the Soccer Stop, PEI Soccer Association, or by contacting 秀色短视频 Athletics and Recreation (902) 566-0991.
