www.oakvillebeaver.com · OAKVILLE BEAVER Thursday, February 18, 2010 · 18 Badminton coach produced many champions Continued from page 17 Hall of Fame in 1993 and was appointed as an honourary life governor of the Royal Canadian Golf Association in 1975. John Gilbert Gilbert never considered himself an elite badminton player. But that's why he thinks he made a good coach. "My own belief is that if you're a high-level player, you tend to see the game from that one point of view," said Gilbert. "If you are able to step back and see a player isn't going to be par- ticularly fast or hit hard (consistently), you're able to bring out the best in the kids you're working with." Gilbert certainly brought out the best in the kids he worked with at the Oakville Club. Under Gilbert, the club produced more than 70 provincial champions, 13 national champions and four Commonwealth champions. "Those players were hungry," he said. "It was the right kids at the right time with the right person." Bob MacKinnon Bob MacKinnon may be gone, but his legacy lives on. He was a founder of the Oakville Blades, the local junior A hockey club that won the league championship two years ago and was a finalist last season. MacKinnon also served with provincial and national hockey associations, and was Canada's highest-ranking hockey official at the 2008 Olympics in Nagano. International Ice Hockey Federation member Murray Costello once referred to MacKinnon as "one of the most even-tempered men, a bear of a man, and an absolute delight to work with."

The Thursday-morning league is for experienced male slo-pitch players aged 60 and over, drawing players from both the GTA and the Golden Horseshoe.
