WOODY WOODWORTH   1940 - 2025 
 
Ron Woodworth passed away January 28th.  
The fastpitch and slo - pitch community, will be missing an umpire and a coach,and  a manager this season.
 
I knew Woody as a Waterloo Minor Hockey coach,  Junior softball coach, and a good helper and volunteer in those two sports.   Later Ron coached Men's  fastpitch teams in the KFL, North Waterloo, South Perth Leagues and umpired slo - pitch.
 
Woody was the Track Announcer at Varney Speedway calling those oval dirt track hot rods as they burned oil and rubber and threw dust and dirt 
 
If his team was eliminated from a fastball tournament Ron would pull up a chair, turn on the "mic" and transform into a great game announcer at the Peter Hallman Memorial Tournament or the ISC Qualifier , or any of the many local softball tournaments.
 
Ron had a lot of stories to share at the Ball Yard about his Air Force days,  his radio days, his hockey and softball careers.
 
Sorry to lose a really likable good fastpitch fan and volunteer.
 
Woody's obit is on the Henry Walser web site. Visitation and funeral on Wednesday
 
 
TAKING THE YEAR OFF 
 
The Cephas Roth Tournament in Tavistock and the Early Bird Toronto Batmen tournament in Mitchell are not being held this  year. 
 
 The ISC Canada East will be held as usual at Kesterson Park in Mitchell.
 
 
GAME CHANGER
 
This spring KFP will host a Game Changer electronic scoring clinic.
Date and times to be determined...
Softball Canada requires both pencil and paper and Game Changer.
 
Does the ISC use Game Changer??  Joe could you let me know...?
 
MORE info about Fastpitch will be shared with  you.  Let me know the news and I will spread the word
