Rink Dawgs (BHC) .est 1995

The Rink Dawgs are a ball hockey team out of the YCBHL that was founded by Captain Bruce Tiam-Fook & Carm DiLuciano in 1995. The two first met as opponents at the Centennial College inter campus ball hockey championships. Bruce played for the Chilitos from the Progress campus and Carm captained the Rebels team out of the Warden Woods Campus. The teams faced each other in back to back championship finals.

In 1992-93, the Chilitos hosted the finals at their Progress campus and with a huge crowd support played their way into the final against the visiting Rebels. The game was a very intense and close affair and in the end it was the visitors who came away with the championship, winning 3-2.

The following year it was the Rebels hosting the tournament at their Warden Woods campus, and once again they faced the Chilitos in the final game. This time the home team took care of business, with the Rebels winning a lopsided game 4-1. They became the first back to back champions in Centennial College inter campus history.

Bruce Tiam-Fook went on to star for the White Knights team out of the Scarborough Leacock league, where he once again would face-off against a Carm DiLuciano captained team, the Sharp Shooters. Bruce's team would go on to finish 1st overall, while Carm's team would end up out of the playoffs. After only the one season facing each other, Bruce & Carm made plans to merge players and enroll a new team in the winter season out of the Rinx.

Bruce would take a couple players from his team, Mike Calderaro and cousin Graham Reid. Carm would pull from his Sharp Shooters team, long time friend Mike Gisarov and Greg Kotsopolous. Also involved in the merger was another opponent within their division, the Fortinos team who provided Peter Fanous, Sebastian Geraci, Trevor Daily, Neo & Andreas Lakotrypkis. They would also pick up free agents Tony Rowe and Al Sabino from the Eagles team, along with Mark Krupa, Mike Conroy and Navin Persaud from the Knights. Thus completing the roster for the inaugural season for the Rink Dawgs Ball Hocky Club.
