WLI is proud to have sponsored the partici-pation of the Wasauksing Eagles Atom team in the Little NHL in 1997 at Whitefish Lake. WLI funds helped cover travel expenses for the young team, who scored successive victories over Six Nations of the Grand River to win first place.

Last year, Rama sponsored the Rama Spirit of Hawk hockey tournament in remembrance of their popular hockey coach, Barry (Hawk) Tabobondung. WLI assisted three Wasauksing teams to participate in this tournament:

  • Tykes (age 5-7), coached by Marshall Badger
  • Atoms (age 8-10), coached by Les Tabobondung, and
  • PeeWees (age 11-12), coached by Chuck Baker.
Hocey Team Logo: Win or lose, WLI is proud of all our children, youth and adults who participate as players and coaches in competitive sports: softball, baseball, hockey and bowling. Sports build strength, confidence and determination. The good sportsmanship, teamwork and shared responsibility learned in sports are the cornerstones of good citizenship.

Every year, funds are allocated in the WLI budget for donations. Last year, WLI donated over $18,000 in support of Wasauksing athletes.
