1965-66 Vincent Massey Reach for the Top Team
|
Vincent Massey Collegiate Institute was a high school in Etobicoke, Ontario from 1961 to 1985. In the 1990s, the building was occupied by a new school, Michael Power/St. Joseph, but it has a separate history from Vincent Massey CI. There is also a Vincent Massey Secondary School in Windsor, ON.
Reach for the Top
Vincent Massey participated in the inaugural season of televised Reach for the Top on CBC, winning in the first year. In 1978, their first match was against Stephen Harper-led Richview. The team won the Etobicoke finals (420-205 over Scarlett Heights), the Toronto-area championship (420-160 over West Hill), the southern Ontario championship (460-205 over Walkerton), and the 1978 Reach for the Top Nationals tournament. A fan or alumnus of Vincent Massey uploaded several episodes of their 1978 matches to video-sharing sites like Veoh and Truveo in March 2009.
With their 1978 victory, Vincent Massey became the first school to win the championship twice, and the only school to do so during the CBC era.
