I don't think I've ever seen anybody catch Travis like Sylvain did. Amazing hand, wrist and a hook STRRROOONG! He even let Travis work with a press few inches from the pad before "putting pedal to the metal" and with back pressure turning the wrist was when Travis thought it was enough in the last match. Congratulations to Sylvain Perron!! He really was ready for John. And even if John is not the fastest hitter to be ready for Brzenk seemed to prepare Sylvain for Travis's hit? Talk about power there!!!

What a fun tournament! This was the first time such an event was attempted. I helped out with the scorekeeping and admit that even with a detailed plan, it was quite a task to keep on top of everything to ensure 1) no one received more than one bye, 2) pullers faced others pullers closest in weight and with the same loss record, and 3) two pullers didn't pull each other more than twice before the final five. Although three tables were used, we weren't able to maintain a steady flow as much as we would have liked. This being said, I think all pullers in attendance enjoyed the novelty of the event.
I want to thank Chris Gobby for spearheading such a complicated event. This was the first major event that Chris has promoted and he did a great job. All involved with the logistics of the event were great as well.
Sylvain looked and felt VERY strong. A few months of consistent training really had an effect. He was undefeated on the day.
The Ottawa High Hookers did very well taking five of the top 15 money positions: 3rd (Eric Roussin), 5th (John Milne), 6th (Allen Ford), 7th (Jeff Slater), and 13th (Nicola Gazzetto).
Alexandre Lévesque of Québec had an awesome day taking 4th place at a weight of 190 lbs. He is one of the province's top pullers under 200 lbs. I'd like to see him venture down to some Northeast tournaments to see how he'd fare (very well, I would expect).
George Sheldrick of Vermont had an awesome day. He took 9th, but in the process got some amazing wins, including one over Allen Ford (Canada's reigning 187 lb champion) and one over Denis "The Dragon" Dubreuil.
Three lightweights made the top 15: Sylvain Bissonnette (8th), Réjean Allain (14th), and Mike Roy (15th). This was very impressive considering there were close to 20 pullers who weighed more than 200 lbs.
It was a great day of pulling!

Inthehook did not take videos. Armsport Videos covered the event.
I'm not sure of Sylvain's weight but he looked very good. Travis said that before the event he slapped Sylvain on the back and it felt like hitting a brick wall (or something like that). It was said that Sylvain had been training very hard up to this event.
As for me... I'm f'ing smoked. I can barely move my arm (mostly in thanks to my match with Mr. Sheldrick) but had an awesome time. I really hope this event continues in the future.

Sylvain weighed approximately 225-230. I think Travis weighed 260 something.
John Brzenk tweaked his arm in Pennsylvania two weeks ago and unfortunately had to back out of this event.
