Perkins Maintenance Manager RICHMOND HILL â€" Ed Kenny says you have to be “something of an idiot” to get involved in minor soccer. But he doesn’t look like he means He looks like he loves it. And why not? “You get into your share of hazzles," states the president of the Richâ€" mond Hill Minor Soccer Association. “But you also get to meet people from all over North America. You end up with a lot of friends." “It's a lot of work but it‘s very satisfying being involved with youngsters and seeing them develop along the way.” The monetary rewards are nil but there are other perhaps greater satisfactions. Especially for Kenny. Man of the year He’s just recently been elected “Man of the Year” by the Ontario M i n of S o c c e 1' Association.

The award is granted annually to the person who has made a “significant contribution to the growth of minor soccer" in Ontario.
