history of EOCA champions

[Aris Marghetis]

Hi there, the EOCA Executive decided during this season to dedicate a new trophy to be awarded annually to the EOCA Champion. It will be named the Terry Fleming Cup, in honour of one of the key builders of the EOCA in its early days. In addition, this trophy will serve as a great trip down memory lane, as it will record all of the EOCA Champions, since 1982?

This is where we want to make sure that we have all our information perfectly correct, as for example, I only moved to Ontario in 1991. To start, David Gordon graciously retrieved the probably accurate list from David Cohen's website. I figured though that it couldn't hurt to post it here for a final public review. In a nutshell, the following list should be totally accurate as to season (year-year), [co-]winner[s] name[s], including perfect spelling.

If you note ANYTHING imperfect, please reply to me as soon as feasible. Thank you!

the EOCA Champion.

Hi Aris,

I has nothing to add, just to ask ;) I looked through the EOCA webpage, and could not find tournaments for EOCA championship (sorry if i missed). Is it the title awarded to the Grandprix champion?

With Erik M. help we are trying to collect Toronto (GTCL) champions and tournaments results (http://torontochess.org/drupal/node/143) Hope, you collect similar info as well :)
