Terry Griffith

Terry Griffith was the most dominant and feared defencemen in the sport and captain to the best club team in the history of the sport which some would define as "unstoppable".  The Brampton Midnight Express are the sport’s most recognized and successful organization and the best team of all time.
 
They were established in 1991 as a member of the National Ball Hockey League and led by some of ball hockey’s most prolific players, Robert Mentis, James Mentis and Terry Griffith and they would set the standard for the late nineties for all teams to follow to present.
 
When approached by the Mentis Brothers from his team in Mississauga to start the Express, the game of ball hockey -- especially in Ontario -- was forever changed.
 
To many, Griffith was the sport of hockey. His arrival to the Express brought instant credibility and notoriety to the franchise. He was a leader and the crowds would follow and it became the norm at whatever arena they played at to watch this monster of a man control the tempo of the game by either leading an end-to-end rush to sitting back and slowing the game down. A ticket to an Express game to see Griffiths was a must.
 
He was also selected to Team Canada in 2001, but unfortunately due to an accident was never able to play for the team, but since retiring as a player, Griffith returned to coach the Express and put together one of the greatest teams in the 2011 version which demolished all opponents enroute to the teams championship.
 
One thing about great players, you don't even have to watch those them play.  You just have to watch them walk into arena’s there is nothing like the swagger of a champion and he brought his swagger.

Robert Wilfred Mentis

There are no words that can justify the cruel world we live in when someone is taken from us too early. Robert Wilfred Mentis was a wonderful person and August 8. 2014 is a day we will never forget
 
Mr. Mentis was the consummate gentlemen both in and outside the sport of ball hockey.  The man was a fierce competitor in the game of ball hockey and it didn't matter if it was at the League, Provincials, Nationals or Worlds. He was a winner.   He was one of the most accomplished players ever winning numerous individual honors, all star selections and championships, but what was his greatest accomplishment was the time he gave away from the floor enriching the lives of his teammates and opponents.
 
He was a pioneer, one of the original building blocks of the Brampton Midnight Express.  He along with Terry Griffith and brother James Mentis were the life blood of the team from its inception first National Championship in 1996.  
 
When Team Canada came calling in 2001, there he was at camp setting the tone for the entire team and winning gold in Toronto that June.  
 
In the summer of 2013, he returned to the National program as an assistant coach to teach, guide and share his knowledge with the next generation, the consummate professional in assisting wherever he was required and showing the leadership and again the team won gold.  
 
For those who had the honor of playing and coaching against him you considered yourself better for it.  He played the game fearlessly, but when it was time to chat, there he was in the parking lot, advising his opponents that they were a good team, but just keep working at it. He was our sports greatest left winger on the best team of all time and always made time for everyone. 
 
As a player, just close your eyes for a moment and you can see racing down the left side of the floor and cutting to the middle and releasing his shot and scoring a goal and then being joined by his teammates and flashing that smile.
 
He was a wonderful brother, father, special talent, teammate and friend and we were all better for having had him in our lives.  
 
Forever in our hearts #27

Herbert H. Carnegie

Herbert H. Carnegie was born in Toronto and was one of the first black hockey players in the semi-pros, saw his ambition to play in the National Hockey League thwarted on account of existing racial barriers of that era. 
 
As a result he was restricted to playing minor league hockey in Ontario and in Quebec's senior hockey leagues in the 1940s and 1950s. Carnegie was also a champion golfer and a successful businessman. He founded the Future Aces Hockey School in 1955 to cater to children 12 -14 years, and the in the semi-pros, which provides bursaries for post-secondary education 
 
On May 2, 2001, the North York Centennial Arena was renamed to honour the former hockey star who passed away in March 2012. The arena features an indoor ice rink which in the summer becomes an indoor dry pad for ball hockey. 
 
On June 6, 2001 he joined us for the opening ceremonies for the World Championships at the arena bearing his name for the ceremonial faceoff.

 Mr. Carnegie is pictured above with OBHA Founder and Builder Hall of Famer, Ken White and Joseph Ferretti who was representing St. Basils College that provided volunteers for the Championships and following is OBHA Players Hall of Fame inductee. Lou Franceschetti.
