Subject: Parry Island ISC Roster and Player Profile
The Parry Island Hawks will be making their first appearance on the World Stage
this coming August in Midland Mi. at the annual ISC Men's World Championships.
A strong showing at the Canada east Qualifier where the team tied for 5th place
in a strong field of 14 teams was enough for the Hawks to be offered a berth to
this most prestigious Fastpitch event. Speed and pure athleticism are the key
components to the make up of the 2012 Hawks this along with veteran hard
throwing Frank Cox has the team feeling positive and full of Optimism heading
into Midland.
OUTFIELD
#1 Heikel Espanosa Elliot Lake On 32 - for those in the game that remember
Billy Simmons, Espanosa is a carbon copy of Simmons but with a much stronger
arm from the outfield , Heikel has been living in Canada for the past few years
after Immigrating from his native Cuba. Played on national under 20 team as
well as some pro ball in his native Cuba , has smoothly made the transition to
Fast Pitch with ease.
#27 Walter Tabobondung Jr. Parry Island On 24 - Former basketball and track
star patrols the outfield as well as any non prawn in the game right now. Plays
the game with an old school approach well past his 24 years of age as Wally
gets more experience against the upper levels of Pitching and continues to
improve at the same rate he has the last couple of years a spot on the 40 man
National team talent pool is not out of the question.
#44 Chad St Cyr Sudbury ON 36 One of the best Hitters from Northern Ontario in
the last 25 years, great base running instincts and a very strong arm from the
right field corner along with great leadership skills make Chad a big part of
the Hawks lineup.
#8 Joel Belanger Sudbury On 43 - versatile veteran player in peak physical
condition who can play 8 of the 9 positions on the field and provides a long
ball presence off the bench as witnessed in the qualifier when he hit a pinch
hit home run late in a game to keep a Hawks rally going.
#23 Lance Curry Parry Island On 22 - outstanding runner who works hard and will
be counted on at some point in a key pinch running situation in Midland.

the top pitching , was named All Canadian at 2011 Junior Men's Nationals , has

on the team can bunt , slap and hit line drives. Former Ontario University

of time until his name on the 40 man roster of Canada's national team.

Middle infielder in Canada. Brett hit the ball a ton at the qualifier and is
having a .300 plus year with the highly rated Owen Sound Junior Selects.

Northern Ontario Fastball scene , brings a steady bat off the bench also.
