Canada Post was busy as of late, delivering many awards to the Winnipeg Tenpin Bowling Association Executive Director. There was a 300 ring, an 800 Series plaque, a 300 Game Plaques, two 299 Game Plaques, one 298 Game Plaque, and a certificate acknowledging multiple 300 games in the season. Shown above is Israel receiving his awards from Winnipeg Tenpin Bowling Association Director Dan Tereck,

As it turns out, due to several delays in processing, these Honour Score awards span a little over a year. Some were accomplished in Youth Leagues, some in Adult Leagues, and one of them (a 300 game) was done at the Canadian Youth Championships held in Winnipeg in 2023. In addition, some were accomplished in Brandon, Manitoba, and some took place in Winnipeg.

Potter, a powerful two-handed bowler, has worked very hard to hone his skills, and it obviously shows. We know there will be many more record scores and accomplishments in his bowling future.

Editor’s Note: This presentation was done on Monday, Feb 26, 2004 directly before the Laverendrye Seniors Youth League started. As it turns out, Israel rolled a 3-game series of 857 on that night, which is just shy of the Manitoba record of 859. Wow!
