2019-20  John Morrison 2021-22  Dwight Larkin 2022-23  Moe Labranche

   Moe has been playing hockey for over 35 years, culminating in playing with the Toronto Antiques since 1994 , eventually taking over the team operations from John Jackson in 2014-15.  In 2012-13, he contributed in helping John Jackson move the team into our league after the Snowcaps departed.

    Moe was one of the team leaders that pushed the league away from being organized shinny games into one that kept standings and started playoffs In the 2014-15 season.  Moe played defence on the team full time, but his number  of games played slowly dwindled and his duties have been passed on, after some health issues, yet he still makes it to the rink from time to time to follow his team.



Dwight is one of the longest serving members of the league, playing defence with the Port Credit Hawks from the late 90s.  He is probably the oldest player in the league at 75 years of age in the 2021-22 season.  Dwight is a retired Firefighter in Brampton, and has moved further North since his retirement, yet still makes the weekly trip into Mississauga to play with the Hawks.


 John joined the league in 2005, playing with the Port Credit Hawks until 2015-16 when he sat out due to health issues, which culminated in his cardiac arrest in 2017, but continued to keep all the league stats and schedules and do the web site, which he created in 2014, as well as being the league photographer.  In 2018 when the Maple Lodge hockey team folded one week before the season, John was  asked to form a new team to replace them and he put together the Argonauts, and played with the team full time for one season before moving to the sidelines, running an coaching the team and playing only when needed.



2023-24   Tony Cioffi

   Tony has been known for years from different  leagues and tournaments.  When he joined our league in 2019-20 with the West Mall Bruins, he won the goaltending title with an impressive 1.94 goals against average and played one more season with the Bruins.  Tony played for several teams whenever a goaltender was needed.  After Covid, he filled in for most of the season for the Argonauts, helping them to another league title.

  When the Rusty Blades left the league, Tony got the league in touch with someone that eventually got the Coopers into the league and Tony took on the role as their goaltender. Tony is one of the guys that will help out and has been a true hero of the league.
