The Saint Francis basketball community’s hopes of hosting the 2022 Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations boys AA basketball championships March 7-9 in St. Catharines have been dashed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
On Thursday, OFSAA announced it would be cancelling its winter championships scheduled for February and March. It will be the second year in a row that OFSAA has cancelled boys basketball and girls volleyball championships and the third year that the pandemic has prevented OFSAA from staging boys and girls hockey championships. Denis Morris was set to host the boys AAA championships March 23-26 in St. Catharines.

Also cancelled are alpine skiing, nordic skiing, snowboarding and curling. Earlier OFSAA announced there would be no swimming and wrestling championships in 2022 because the host organizing committees for both events withdrew and no replacements stepped forward.
“We are thankful for the commitment shown by our convenors and host organizing committee members who volunteered their time during the planning stages of the OFSAA winter championships and festivals,” OFSAA president Carolyn Chesney said in a statement. “Despite this cancellation of February and March OFSAA events, we again wish to reiterate our continued support for sports and activity for the benefit of students’ physical and mental well-being. School sports play a vital role in education and in the lives of students.
