A celebration of Brian Hale’s life will take place on Saturday, May 20 at the Delta Toronto East hotel, 2035 Kennedy Rd. in Scarborough, starting at 11 a.m.
Ron Fanfair has written a long appreciation of Brian and his contributions to cricket:-
“Derek Perera, who launched the Ontario Cricket Academy in the city’s west end in 2002, said Hale was the best coach he played for.
“In my opinion, he was the greatest coach Canada has ever had,” he added. “It’s sad that he never got the opportunity to coach our national teams. He taught me discipline and ethics and how to be a professional. His teachings impacted my life and those of many others who went through his program. He was my guru and someone I could always turn to for sound advice.”
