36th Year PBA Participation – Montreal   September 1 & 2, 2012

The longest reigning invitational Filipino Basketball Tournament in North America, PIBNA, was held in Montreal, Quebec on September 1st and September 2nd, or the Labour Day weekend. Writing this article gives this writer some pride in as much as he is one of the original founders of this event. The tournament started in Windsor Ontario in 1976 when basketball enthusiasts from Windsor, Toronto, Chicago, Hamilton and Montreal got together one Labour Day weekend for a friendly game of basketball. But, the friendly or camaraderie only existed when off court and once you’re in the basketball court, it was to show who is the best. Over the years this scenario has not changed. City participation have gone up in number to twenty cities sometime, divisions have multiplied to all kind of age levels including the youth or kids. This year’s participation in Montreal was no different than the participation in the last 35 years.  PBA fielded 3 teams, one Men’s Open, one Senior and one 15 and under. The best PBA of Hamilton can muster was the quarter-final of our 15 and under division against the mighty Toronto team in which we lost.

It was a good day to get reacquainted with old golf-mates a few years unseen but spoiled by water balls seemingly attracted to every pond and thick underbrushes that frame the fairways. Next year it will all be straight flying balls for the tournament only, but the I say the same thing every game I play. Oh well.....
