You missed one

Your sports Year in Review managed to cover a great swath of athletic achievement made by residents of the Sunshine Coast, so great it seemed that any limb straying near enough a ball or net or field had a bullet point in your feature.

I do not mean to undermine any of the valiant victories this Coast boasts - it seems indeed there is something in the water on the Sunshine Coast, as the breadth of athletic participation and performance are quite astounding.

And, yet, you managed to miss one of the proudest accomplishments made by a Gibsons athlete this year: Ian Hooley won seven gold medals at the BC Senior Games this past August. This coup brought his team to second place in the event (a team made up mostly of Sunshine Coast athletes).
