The 2023 NCBL Kick-off Meeting took place yesterday afternoon at the Sportsplex, and one of the big items discussed was who would succeed Colleen \u201cThe Manager\u201d Embury as Tier 3 President, now that Winchester has been promoted to Tier 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each Tier 3 team was tasked with submitting a presidential candidate for consideration. The nominees were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Josh Primeau, Bytown Barons<\/strong>
Josh Campbell, Ottawa-West Crusaders<\/strong>
Gregorio Cobas Magia, Los Latinos<\/strong>
Brett Stott, Ottawa Lumberjacks<\/strong>
Brett Jelley, Nepean Padres<\/strong>
Tom Toll, Trillium Rockets<\/strong>
Kent Johnston, Stittsville SweatSox<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two Josh\u2019s cancelled each other out, as did the two Brett\u2019s.\u00a0 Our Kent Johnston was then eliminated from consideration because the league didn\u2019t want three members of the SweatSox (especially all 3 Powers) sitting on the Executive, two is sketchy enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it all came down to Gregorio of the Latinos, who pledged to Bring Sexy Back, and Thomas of the Rockets, who promised to Make Tier 3 Great Again.\u00a0 After a heartwarming plea from Toll Booth Tommy about how this was a lifelong dream, and how he\u2019s always wanted to give back to the league that he’s taken so<\/strong> much from over the years, the league voted unanimously in favour of a Tom Toll presidency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations President Toll.\u00a0 May your reign be long and prosperous.<\/p>\n\n\n

Update (May 5th)<\/strong>: Per the NCBL By-Laws, a routine background and security check must be done on new members of the Executive within 69 hours of an election. President Toll’s report came back Prognosis: Negative<\/em>, when earlier incidents from his past, including but not limited to the questionable purchase of a Cadillac (embezzlement?), the circumstances under which he acquired a marble rye, and something he did with or to an old bag, came to light. A full investigation took place, and President Toll was impeached after just 5 days on the job.<\/p>\n\n\n
