diamond this year the slowpitch league in town is set to expand despite recent declines in other sports enrolment it was great its a terrific way to get to know people especially if you are new in town the new mixed adults softball league that starts this spring is another good idea and then there is serious ball like the betz fastball team but murrays involvement in the towns sporting scene goes beyond adult baseball for the past seven years he has coached a novicelevel house league hockey team and after being a finalist three times his mcneil team finally won its league championship this past season but murray feels there is much more to it than winning the highlight of coaching the kids for me is that you get to teach them the game to help them understand what they should be trying to do murray has coached several boys who have gone on to glory in the towns rep hockey program ryan king starred for this years lakeshore division novice champion stouffville clippers and kyle norton was impressive for the atom clippers after a big year with the novice rep club murray says that while everyone loves to win there is another aspect of being a part of the town sports scene that is equally important it has a social function as well and we are respected by outoftown people who come here to play because of the effort we put out as ambassadors go paul mur ray is a ringer when it
