Scott Soroko Memorial 9-Ball Tournament

Scott Soroko passed away at the start of this year's Canadian Cue Sport Championships, an event he wouldn't have wanted to miss. He was very passionate about his website shooterville.com and at every chance he had could be seen buzzing about taking pictures and gathering information to keep his site current with Canadian and International pool tournaments.

A memorial tournament in his honour will be held this coming weekend.

In a very short time it was the "Go to Site" across Canada. It is with great pride that we have formed JACCS in honour of Scott so that his contribution to the game and his support for juniors will always be remembered" quoted the President of JACCS, Don Broos.
