We are proud to recognize Ray Teruya for his outstanding dedication and service as a referee at the regional, provincial, and national levels.

Throughout the past season, Ray demonstrated an exceptional level of commitment, officiating at the Ontario Open, Quebec Open, Senda Cup, Red Deer Tournament, Saskatchewan Open, Rocky Mountain Tournament, Edmonton International, Pacific International, Provincial Championships, and Katsuta Kup. His extensive involvement and consistent professionalism make him a referee we can always rely on without hesitation.
