MICHAEL CUSACK HURLING CLUB ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING CHICAGO, IL - The Michael Cuasck Hurling Club of Chicago, IL held their Annual General Meeting on January 25, 2009.  Gaelic Park played host for the evening as the Cusacks put an end to the very successful 2008 season and officially opened 2009. The 2008 season was the inaugural year for the All American club.  While the year saw many successes on and off the playing field, none was more prominent, yet bittersweet, as the hard fought loss in the Junior C final.  Their performance was second to none and proved the capabilities of an All American hurling club.  2008 was ceremoniously laid to rest with an awards presentation.  And the awards went to: Supporter of the Year, Patrick Cullinane; Player's Player of the Year, Mike Maher; Most Improved Player of the Year, Keith Cane; Coaches' Player of the Year, Matt Schwertfeger; Club Person of the Year, Peter Maher.  With the first stone laid in their wall of history, the MCHC officially began the 2009 season by electing a new board.  The first order of business was to elect Harry Costelloe as Honorary President and Fr. Richard McGrath as Honorary Chaplin.  This coming season promises to be the most successful to date as the Cusacks plan to bring the Cup home to Chicago!  Congratulations to the new Board: Chairperson, Zack Hamilton; Vice-Chairperson, Peter Maher; Secretary, Paul Reynolds; Asst. Secretary, Lizzie O'Connor-Reynolds; Treasurers, Mike Maher and Donnacha O'Sullivan;  Registrar, Brian Connolly; PROs, Matt Schwertfeger and Mark Taber; Youth Officers, Tommy Dolan and Sean Maloney.  The 2009 Managers are Shay McShane and Paul Reynolds and will be accompanied by Selector Patrick Cullinane.
