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.
