Ian Press is completing his term on the OFSAA executive council this June after serving for the past six years. He joined
OFSAA as vice president in 2013, then moved into the president’s position in 2015, and finally past president in 2017.
Ian has provided sound leadership to the organization during his tenure, and is known for his insightful thoughts and
creative ideas. He is currently the principal of Bayside Secondary School in Belleville, and has spent his entire career
involved in many aspects of school sport, while understanding the important role it plays in a young person’s development.
We thank Ian for the many hours of volunteer time he has given to OFSAA and for his commitment to providing opportunities
to student-athletes.

OFSAA’s philosophy of “Education Through School

This is what makes high school sport unique and it is
also what makes it so valuable. I strongly believe in high

Fun...Fitness...Challenges...Leadership
Over 140 secondary schools across Ontario again enhanced their physical activity programs with an exciting TRY
Day event. Approximately 1200 student leaders honed their skills and helped organize and conduct these fun
programs. More than 15,000 students directly benefitted from a new sport or physical activity, many who had not
previously participated in physical activity. Most TRY Day events provided new equipment so schools can sustain
the activity for years to come so that more young people may benefit in the future.
Thanks to the Ministry of Education’s TRY Day grant, school programs can adapt to demographic changes, provide
more inclusive programs, and enable as many students as possible to be active.
Watch the OFSAA website for news of future grants!

School Board Presentations
Over the past 10 months, OFSAA’s Advocacy Committee has spearheaded a challenging “awareness
presentation project” in collaboration with the 18 regional Associations across Ontario.
This initiative involved Association Representatives reaching out and scheduling in-person presentations
to the Boards of Education in their respective regions. The purpose of carrying out the presentation is to
promote the importance and value of high school sport at the local level. OFSAA has supplied an informative
video that is the focal point of the presentations. The inclusion of student-athletes and teacher-coaches in the
presentations has been impactful.
It is the hope of the Advocacy Committee that these presentations within local districts will lead to more
dialogue and more avenues to improve the situation for the students and coaches involved in high school
sport.
Here are just a couple of examples of the tremendous work being done on this project by teachers and
students:

The 2019 Girls’ Curling Championship was won by the team from W.C. Eaket Secondary School in Blind River. Current
enrollment at the school stands at 145 students. The team consisted of Abby Hagger (Lead), Mya Smith (Skip), Athena
Moffatt (Second), Avah Olsen (Vice), Scott Smith (Honorary Fifth & Assistant Coach) and Amanda McDonald (Coach).
Here is a first-person account of their memorable OFSAA Experience in March in North Bay.

Abby is such a strong woman, but what kept her going
in the hospital was something that her mother said
that truly inspired all of us too. “Do you ever want to
throw a curling rock again?” This was Abby’s constant
motivation through her recovery. Curling is a sport that
brings Abby tremendous joy, but beyond that, it is a part
of who she is, and it truly inspired her and her recovery.
We are all beyond grateful that Abby fought like crazy,
kicked cancer’s butt and came home to us. Abby is the
type of player that makes our team strong and persistent
in our pursuits. Never once, have we ever given up
during any of our games. While at OFSAA, we would

Thank You, Peter!
It is not a stretch to say Peter Morris is the most
recognizable figure in high school sports across our OFSAA: Tell us about your early interests in sports
province. during high school.
PM: It was traditional in those days that you didn’t
play sports all year long. Individual sports were
too expensive to play unless you had the money to
play golf or tennis or curling. Most of the kids in my
group played team sports like hockey, baseball and
football. I grew up in Leaside and we only had one
arena and one baseball park and everyone met up
at the ballpark at night in the summer as a social
occasion regardless of who was playing. That’s
where the interest really developed. My parents
were always involved.
OFSAA: What was your favourite team sport?
PM: I don’t think I really had a favourite. I didn’t
play football until high school. Hockey was a
favourite because I enjoyed being the goaltender
www.ofsaa.on.ca 15OFSAA: What motivated you to get into coaching and
what was the first assignment?
PM: There’s no question that I had excellent role
models as a kid. I had the same baseball coach for
six years and he was an NHL referee - Dalt MacArthur
– and he coached me all the way through baseball
and he was the greatest influence that I had. It was all
about giving back. I saw a lot of players that were my
idols that were playing junior baseball coming back to
coach at the peewee level and they were my heroes.
The same thing happened in hockey. Bill Kennedy,
who captained the Marlies and went on to play for the
Rangers, died very young of cancer. He coached in the
summer time. They were the role models and you just
wanted to get involved and give something back. My
Dad wasn’t a great coach but he was there so I saw
that side of him.
OFSAA: What attributes make a successful teacher-
coach?
PM: You have to have a passion for it. Obviously have

PM: I attended Leaside High School and De La Salle
later on to finish high school. Looking back, OFSAA
was really in its infancy back then. I had never even
heard of it back then. We were called the TDIAA back
then. Even when I started teaching it was still in its
infancy.
OFSAA: You had to play with a goalie mask for the first
time at OFSAA hockey, correct?
PM: Yes, 1964 was the first year that the regulation
was enforced. My coach told me “next week you have
to wear I mask” so I said, “where do I get a mask”? It
was just like a baseball catcher’s mask with a screen
and it was really strange when I wore it for the first
time because of the criss-cross wires on it. That was the
problem – looking down at your feet through the small
eye openings and trying to track the puck. We won

in Alliston and the winning goal was so similar to the

extra-curricular that is special, it just completes your
whole career. The relationship with your students is
different when you are coaching as opposed to the
classroom and that’s what makes it so special.
OFSAA: Does coaching make you a better teacher?
PM: I had a better understanding of the kids because
you had the opportunity to discuss things with them
in a different kind of environment. I still remember
after I retired from teaching a few years earlier, and I
was coaching track at Father Redmond, and the rugby
coach was also retired. He was the head of Phys Ed
at Redmond. It was a hot Friday afternoon outside
the school and I asked him, “What’s wrong with this
picture? Look at the parking lot. There isn’t a car in
the parking lot. It’s 40 minutes after school and who
are the only two people coaching? Who are the lucky
ones? We are.” We are the real benefactors.
OFSAA: What made you keep coming back?
PM: Probably all of the positive experiences. You still
have an opportunity to make a difference. You don’t
realize that you are doing it at the time but by being
involved maybe you are giving a kid a chance by you
being there. I always said that I still look through the
eyes that I did as a kid. So, don’t look at yourself in
the mirror. I don’t feel that I am any different than
when I was a kid. I love sports. So that when I got
older and it has made it so difficult for me to say
goodbye. What’s different with Peter Morris than I
was a month and a half ago to make me step away
from it? That’s why it is so hard for me to call it a day
