BMO Financial Group today announced the latest BMO Team of the Week winner. The Acme Dragons, a team of U-10 boys and girls from Acme, AB, were awarded the title after being selected by a panel of Team of the Week judges.
"We're from a small town, so the heart and spirit we bring to the game is echoed throughout the community," said Tara Sawyer, coach of the Acme Dragons. "We couldn't succeed without the dedication of our players, their families, our coaches and volunteers. Because of their support, every game we play is filled with positive energy, good sportsmanship and an eagerness to learn."
The Acme Dragons are the fifth of 15 teams (age 7-12) across Canada to be selected as weekly winners based on team pride, team spirit, community involvement and passion for the game. As part of this nationwide youth soccer program, each winner will then vie for the title of 2012 BMO Team of the Week Champion, to be selected by the Canadian public. Online voting will begin on August 13.
"The Acme Dragons are a perfect example of what we look for in our winning BMO Team of the Week," said Mike Suzuki, District Vice-President, Southern Alberta, BMO Financial Group. "Not only do they work hard on the field, these boys and girls continue their positive spirit throughout the community by collecting food for those less fortunate - keeping their charitable efforts close to home. Congratulations to a team that demonstrates both sportsmanship and heart."
