Waterdown, Ontario

 

The Waterdown Hammer ( ISC II ) are pleased to announce 2 significant
roster additions for 2008.  Today's signings include pitcher,
Wayne Wells who has officially committed for the 2008 tournament
season and catcher Troy Gilmour for selected tournaments. 

 

Wayne Wells, the hard throwing veteran right hander has an impressive
resume and joins the Hammer unexpectedly.  Wayne or “Wellsy”
as he’s most commonly referred to is a resident of Peterborough
Ontario and works as a Senior Health and Safety Consultant with
Ontario Power Generation. This year, at the age of 47 Wellsy
was reclassified for ISC II competition. Wellsy has participated
in previous ISC World Tournaments with Peterborough Murphy Windmillers,
Houston Aces and Happy Hollow Barons ( Wisconsin ) to name a
few. Wellsy is a fierce competitor that brings a lot to the table.

 

Troy Gilmour will add a solid bat into the middle of the Hammer
batting order. Gilly is one of those hitters that all coaches
love to have, seems like he's going to get a hit every single
at bat and is a very tough out. Gilly and Wellsy have great chemistry
together, Gilly has been Wellsy's catcher for several years now
and they will form a solid battery for the Hammer. Gilly is the
Parks Superintendent for the Community and Leisure Services Dept.
for the City of Quinte West. Gilly has previous ISC World Tournament
experience with Peterborough, Napanee Express and the Houston
Aces. 

 

There are some key factors when evaluating players such as, longevity,
grit, talent and can they win ? We think Wellsy and Gilly more
then meet these expectations. Wellsy and Gilly will fit in nicely
with their new teammates, actually Wellsy and Gilly aren't really
new to the team, they’ll be playing with some of their friends
as several of the current Hammer players and coaching staff members
are also former teammates. 

 

The Hammer Coaching Staff of Pete Chambers, Kyle Davis, Tim Coe
and Dave Birnie are thrilled to officially welcome Wayne Wells
and Troy Gilmour to the Waterdown Hammer, welcome aboard !

 

Regards,

 

Dave Birnie
