Welcome to the Team!
If you've ever picked up a hockey stick for the first time in years, joined a recreational league, or tried a new sport just for fun, then you already have something in common with Rusty.
Rusty is the official mascot of Orange Ball Athletics and Chief Fun Officer of all things recreation.
He believes sports aren't about being the fastest, strongest, or most skilled player on the field—they're about getting active, having fun, and making memories with friends and family.
Whether you're eight years old or eighty, Rusty thinks there's always room for one more player.

How Rusty Got His Name
Believe it or not, Rusty wasn't always an athlete.
One day, he found an old hockey stick leaning against a community rink. He laced up some skates and discovered he was a little... well... rusty.
He missed passes.
He tripped over his own skates.
He accidentally passed the puck to the wrong team.
But he had so much fun that he kept coming back.
Before long, Rusty learned an important lesson:
You don't have to be perfect to play.
You just have to start.
That's where his motto comes from:
"Knock the Rust Off. Get in the Game."
