The Kanata Little League Baseball Association is a non-profit membership organization that operates a baseball program for children ages 5 to 18 in the Kanata area.

On February 12, 2010, at the Urbandale Centre during an Ottawa 67's Major Junior hockey game, KLLBA President Rob Rathwell had his head shaved in support of a great cause, Candlelighters Canada. This year however, the cause hit closer to home, as a player Rob had the pleasure of coaching last year, Brodie Rafter, had recently been diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Rob wanted to do something to help out with the fundraising and chose to have his head shaved for the cure.

The money is still being counted, however, at last count $45,000 had been raised, $3,500 of which was raised with his very own Kanata Grizzlies KMHA Bantam Hockey team. In true demonstration that children learn from example, Rob's own son Ty and his friends Carter, Chris and Alex (all 13 years old) gave their hair in support of their good friend (and teammate) Brodie. WAY TO GO BOYS!!

Rob the entire executive is very proud of all of your efforts, your son's and players efforts and of course the entire Kanata Grizzlies hockey team.

Brodie - keep your chin up and keep battling, you will beat this!!
