Henderson to Play in Gryphon Golf Classic
Canadian hockey legend Paul Henderson will be a celebrity guest at the Department of Athletics' 2008 Gryphon Golf Classic June 23 at the Cutten Golf and Country Club. Proceeds raised from the event go toward student-athlete scholarships at U of G.
Henderson, a member of the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame, became a sports legend Sept. 28, 1972, when he scored the winning goal with 34 seconds left in the final game of the eight-game series between Canada and the U.S.S.R.
“We are extremely pleased to welcome Paul Henderson to the Golf Classic,” says Tom Kendall, director of athletics.
This year's tournament, presented by AMJ Campbell Van Lines, honours Ken Hammill of Guelph, a 1951 graduate of the Ontario Agricultural College and a U of G Alumnus of Honour. He earned a national reputation as vice-president and general manager of Blount Canada Ltd. and is a strong supporter of the University and local communities and the arts.
Also teeing off at the tournament will be Bruce Bowser, president and CEO of AMJ Campbell.
Registration begins at 10 a.m., and the shotgun start is at noon. The day wraps up with a reception, dinner and awards ceremony.
