2025 Superman

January 19, 2025

The first competition of 2025 was the Superman tournament. For the first ime we ran and under and over 198 classes. This competition saw the return of Brett Lansburg. After a 2 year hiatus due to work and an injury he picked up where he left off, as the top dog in Atlantic Canada dominating both the right and left hand classes. Nathan Guitard looked very impressive but was no match for Brett’s power.

Crystal Dumas was just as impressive in the lady’s division, easily dispatching her opponents. However the matches between Autumn Elliott and Mireille Cormier were the best matches of the day.

The men’s lightweight division saw Ben Major take the left hand and 14yr old Thomas Dumas take the right.

2024 Atlantic Canadian Championships

April 8, 2024

The largest Atlantic Canadian to date was held April 6 at the Dr. Carson and Marion Murray Community Centre in Springhill.
Although there were an abundances of great performances I’d like to point out how this is a family affair.  From the McNamaras, O’Connels , Boudreaus, and Broome/Youngs in NS to the Kings, Gallants, Theriaults, Martins in NB and the Dumas, McGeoghegans and Harper/LeClairs in PEI.  There are too many to list and I’ll miss some. It is awesome to see mothers, fathers and grandparents passing on their love of the sport to the next generation .

Congratuations to the following award winners:
Sylvio Bourque Lifetime Achievement – Rick Pinkney
Rick Pinkney Dedication  – Paula O’Connell
Hall of Fame  – Rob McNamara

The Dumas’s of PEI
