RENZO ANTONIEL


#30 Renzo Antoniel - Goalie

Career
1980/88 - York Canadians
1989/90 - Daddy's Penguins

The Montreal Canadians are one of the oldest and most revered professional sports organizations in history. It is a team that is steeped in tradition and were represented by some of the greatest players that ever dawned skates in the National Hockey League.

Loren "Gump" Worsley was one of those prized practitioners who happened to be a goaltender, one of the finest backstoppers in the history of the game who celebrated winning the Stanley Cup on many occasions.

Renzo Antoniel was the 'Gumper' for the York Canadians Ball Hockey Club. He was a cool, calm and collected character both on and off the floor who backstopped one of the most tenured franchises in 'orange ball' history.

Renzo began his career with Les Habs in 1980 where in his rookie season he captured his first provincial and national championship titles. He followed up his inaugural season with a Toronto Cup Championship in 1981 and led the Canadians to the Ontario AA finals only to lose to the Sarnia Wilding Doors and Dino Ciccerelli's MVP performance at the tournament that year.

The stand up and technically sound netminder continued frustrating his opponents throughout the mid 1980's as he quickly became a hot commodity as a roster addition for other teams looking to secure victory at any one of the many major competition that were contested during this period.

In 1984 Renzo starred as an Associated Player for the Midas Athletics in Hearst, Ontario where his Tournament MVP Goaltending performance over the Hearst Viellieux Furniture (2-0) paved the way to the team's first provincial and later national championship titles.

Renzo Antoniel finished his tenured career with Daddy's Penguins (1989-1990). He was an individual who prided himself on his performance, constantly striving for excellence who was a winner in every sense of the word. He is indeed a champion and one unquestionably one of the premier 'ball stoppers' in the history of the game who has earned his rightful place in theOBHA Players Hall of Fame

DARYL CLANCY


#9 Daryl Clancy - Forward

Career
1980/82 - Frank Cosco
1983/89 - CWS
1990/91 - Frasca TopGuns
1992/93 - Femview Rangers

Daryl Clancy was a very skilled, hardworking and dedicated player with an undeniable attitude for winning. His determination led him and his teams to titles in four different leagues (NMHA, MTBBL, TBHA, NWTBBL) in a career spanning over 14 years.

Daryl is the all-time leading scorer in Mississauga Ball Hockey Association history having amassed 282 points in 107 games played where he won the scoring title in 1984, 1985 and in 1989. He was a 5-time UBHA I st Team Allstar and was selected the league's @ in 1986 and 1987.

Daryl was a member of a unique group of marksmen in the game when he counted 50 points in the Metro Toronto Ball Hockey League to capture his second scoring championship in as many leagues played.

Nonetheless, his accomplishments did not end there. The dimunutive forward, who combined speed, tenaciousness and pure offensive prowress in his game, saved his best for last when he joined the Femview Rangers in 1991 where he helped lead the sport's most tenured franchise to their first OBHA Provincial Chainpionship (Penetang) and first of three consecutive National Championships (British Columbia) in 1992.

There could not have been a more appropriate epilogue to an individual's career who epitomized professionalism and perseverance both on and off the playing surface and who's rewards were finally realized. Daryl Clancy, whose qualities as an individual along with his accomplishments as a player have made him one of the premier practitioners in 'Orange Ball' history, has earned his rightful place in the OBHA Players Hall of Fame.
