With some pre-planning, Mark Sulymka, head coach of the Griffins and Coach Rob Palmarin of the Canadians, both Atom division teams, worked it out that Logan Tonge, a local boy would don a jersey and run a touchdown, with a little help from his friends. On the gridiron, Saturday, September 26 at Regina’s Leibel Field, players from both teams surrounded Tonge’s wheelchair and with Coach Sulymka pushing, helped Tonge travel to the end zone for a touchdown. “Immediately Rob, his first comment was ‘well we gotta get the boy the ball,” Sulymka said, “with about that 10 sec- ond marker left in the game when we were up and we had possession, we were just going to take a knee.” Sulymka took a time out and went over and talked to Pal- marin. Logan didn’t know he was going to be in the game. “The rest is history. It’s on everybody’s social media and it’s really taken off. But it is a very, very nice story and I’m very proud to be part of it,” Sulymka said. Video of the moment will bring a tear to the eye. It is no wonder the story has been picked up by several media outlets and is gaining traction on social media. A grade six student of École White City school, Logan Tonge is known in the community.

arlier this week, the Captain of the Edmonton Oilers was Efake kidnapped by the evil villian Mysterio, only to be saved by Spiderman and his new partner, Spider Mable. Spider Mable, a six year old girl with Leukemia, got her wish granted, through the Make a Wish Foundation to fight crime. First she met with Spiderman, met with the Mayor of Edmonton, the Police Chef, then zip lined across the water- park in West Edmonton Mall with Spidey to save hero Black Cat. Afterwards she went to the Edmonton Valley Zoo to free Ference from the clutches of Mysterio... All in a day’s work for Spider Mable. The story broke worldwide, and went viral as this six year old girl was able to save the day, and fulfill her wish. The amazing thing is, how many people were able to make this wish come true. From the Mayor of Edmonton to the Edmonton City Police Chief to Andrew Ference, and the hundreds of people in between to make this happen. It’s this type of story that renews our faith in our human- ity. Yes, we’re ignorant of much, ignore other things that are distastful, but that’s who we are as humans. What we also are is caring and amazing group of humans that made sure that this six year old Mable got to live out her Wish to fight crime and become Spider Mable. On a smaller scale, what the coaches did for Logan Tonge, shows that with a little pre-planning and a good heart, you can change the world, one small action at a time.
