MEN'S CAP #9 - BILL MEYER

As a young athlete in the 1970's and 80's I was given so much support during my Water Polo career. Coming off of hosting the 1976 Olympics Games, support for sports and the funding for amateur sport in Canada, especially a low profile sport like ours, was adequate  to allow me and my Team Mates to have the training and competition we needed at the time.
 
Today, not so much. Costs continually increase while sports funding has drastically decreased over the years. I feel it's vital, as an alumni, to do what I can do to help the next generation carry on with their Water Polo careers and aspirations. I find that the Legacy Cap program is a fun unique way to make a small contribution to the future of our National Team programs.
