A Night of Rivalry and Reunion: The 2026 Louis Pomeroy Memorial Tournament

The Toronto Chapter proudly hosted the 2026 Louis Pomeroy Memorial Mah Jong Tournament and Spring Dinner on March 8, 2026, at the elegant NKS Banquet Hall (帝豪名宴). The evening brought together a remarkable gathering of old boys and distinguished guests, united in camaraderie and spirited competition. This year’s event was particularly special, highlighted by a strong showing of father-son duos among the old boys.

The afternoon saw intense focus across the mahjong tables, where players vied for top honours, while relaxed, non-competitive tables offered a welcoming space for casual play and connection. The excitement reached its peak with the presentation of the prestigious Louis Pomeroy Memorial Trophy. Our chapter president, Kevin Kwok (1988), had the honour of awarding the trophy to the highest-scoring old boy, Sam Cheung (71), in a moment met with resounding applause.

Mah Jong Competition Results:

• Champion: Sam Cheung (71)
• 1st Runner-Up: Benjamin Yip (76)
• 2nd Runner-Up: Thomas Tsoi (2001)

The evening was elevated by the presence of beloved retired teacher Mr. Chan Tong, whose attendance was met with great warmth, as well as representatives from ten joint-school alumni groups. The dinner programme gained tremendous momentum with a lively mid-event auction, which not only stirred excitement but also successfully raised valuable funds for the chapter. We extend our sincere thanks to Thomas Lau (69) for contributing a captivating collection of old campus photos from La Salle College. Congratulations to Stlina Kwok, the winning bidder and keeper of Kevin Kwok (88), on her successful acquisition.

The night concluded on a high note with a thrilling lucky draw that left attendees smiling. Our deepest gratitude goes to the dedicated team whose efforts were instrumental to the evening’s success: Danny Au Yeung (67), Ambrose Cheung (70), Vincent Ho (88), Ken Wong (90), Chris Fong (94), Michael Kong (94), Sunny Leung (96), Andrew Sin (2000), Robin Siu (2000), Alex Tsoi (2016), and Kelvin Ho (2019).

Special recognition is due to David Sin (69) for leading us in grace before the dinner, and to Kenneth Lam (89) for skillfully capturing the evening’s memorable moments as event photographer.

In addition, we have commenced selling Hong Kong Old Boys Association merchandise, and the group ordering initiative has proven highly successful.
