Silent Valley Cornhole Club

09/30/2026

For those of you who don't know...... the ACL is in deep financial trouble and most Canadian clubs have moved away from it. Official bags used to have an ACL stamp on them, which the manufacturers paid for and passed the cost on to us. Oktane has decided not to stamp their bags (for now) and are going to pass the savings on to us. On top of that if you put my buddy Eric Pearson's discount code NOHANDS in at checkout you will get an additional 15% discount. They'll ship em right to your door for right around 120 bucks all in.

A NEW CHAPTER FOR OKTANE CO****LE 📣

As the new season gets underway, we wanted to share an important update about the future of Oktane Co****le.

After serving as the National Director of Canada for the American Co****le League, our owner has decided to step away from that role. As part of that transition, Oktane Co****le has also made the decision to step away from ACL licensing.

Moving forward, all Oktane bags will be un-stamped.

This decision comes after a lot of consideration.

As a Canadian company, we have faced increasing challenges selling to the United States. Trade disputes and tariffs have created unexpected costs for American customers, prompting some to refuse shipments or tariff charges. Combined with the departure of many ACL clubs across Canada, these challenges have reduced the need for ACL-stamped bags.

So, we've decided to take a different path.

THE SAVINGS GO BACK TO THE PLAYERS. 🫰

Without ACL licensing, we no longer have to pay the associated royalties on every set of bags.

We're passing that 15% royalty savings directly on to you.

Our focus remains exactly where it has always been:

Quality. Performance. And the PLAYERS.

Oktane will continue developing and manufacturing high-performance co****le bags right here in Canada, while supporting the Canadian players, tournaments and community that have helped build this sport.

This isn't the end of Oktane.

It's the beginning of a new chapter.

To everyone who has supported Oktane over the years — players, tournament directors, retailers, sponsors and customers — thank you.

We are proud to be Canadian. 🇨🇦

And we're excited about what's next.

Oktane Co****le

Built in Canada. Built for the game.

Joanie and I have a tournament on Sunday so we are gonna be practicing Saturday afternoon, we know it's the golf tournament, but if you're gonna be here and you wanna play some co****le, we will set up a couple boards down at the club and play some for fun games, switcholio style if we have enough players. No charge just for fun, chime in here if you're thinking you might join us. It's gonna be 19 and sunny.

Sorry gang

There will be no Co****le this weekend, a lot of members (myself included), have previous engagements. The season is drawing to a close. If the weather holds and we have the interest we will keep playing a couple more weeks. Just not this one, see you all soon.

We still can't believe the turnout we had yesterday afternoon for The Final Summer Fling, 54 shooters and seven full courts, the largest we've ever had. A big thank you to everyone who came out, we'd love to see more of you on Saturday afternoons. There is a big co****le community in this park and with the talent we witnessed yesterday, we could put Silent Valley on the map. Next year we are gonna shoot for some inter park stuff with River Place and the other parks around here. They're gonna shake in their Crocs when they hear us coming.

So many good throwers yesterday and a lot of hard fought games

Huge thank you to Joanie for making the awesome plaques, they look fantastic and they are definitely one of a kind! Another big thank you to the horseshoe club for donating our awesome new club boards, we got em just in time for yesterday. One more thanks to Luc and Jay and to EVERYONE who helps us set this thing up and tear it down each and every week, it would be so much work without you.

The players make this club and we are just going to keep growing!!

Saturday was the last chance to practice on these boards before the big finale byop tournament of the 2026 outdoor season.

There were 14 stone faced killers, each strutting their stuff hoping to catch the eye of a wood be partner for the big event.

Steve W and Dar found themselves atop the podium

Justin and Joanie gave them a run and finished a strong second

Judy and Steve E weren't to be overlooked and took home third place honors.

Thanks again to everyone who made this season so great, looking forward to a big turnout on the weekend.

I told you we'd post some after trailer season events to wet your co****le whistle in the winter months, for those of you who have the scoreholio app you already know you can look stuff up in your area This post is to let you know there is another app, it will let you look events up as well, and some tournaments you will have to sign up and pay through the app. This one is the official ACL app and it's available at app.iplayacl.com. it is a free app as well, with pay options for discounts and stat tracking etc.

One tournament worth mentioning if you're anywhere near Hamilton is the Nomads Help our Heroes Fundraiser, in support of the Legion branch they play in, it's on September 27th and it's a great way to meet one of Can@ada's largest co****le families, the most welcoming co****le atmosphere you'll ever experience, and a range of skill levels that includes every player imaginable. I'll put a poster up when I can find one

Don't forget our Final Summer Fling Sept 5. You still have one week to pick your partner and sign up to hit the boards.all residents, guests and weekend campers are welcome

App.iplayacl.com, here's the app location one more time

We're playin' Saturday!!

Where: at the pool pavilion
When: 12:30
Why: cause it's a ton of fun

Last chance to practice on these boards, before the final summer fling, maybe scope out potential partners. We're doing it later so the grass is dry, and maybe to give some folks who have other commitments a chance to join us.

See you Saturday

Sorry Gang, but the radar makes it look like we are gonna be smack dab in the middle of a rain storm come co****le time. We are gonna have to call it, please don't be mad cause I waited until that last minute, I coulda done it last Wednesday.

Don't forget, you can sleep in this Saturday, co****le is starting at 12:30, at the pool pavilion, the grass is too wet until later these days. Good news we will be totally shaded for the entire tournament. Now's your chance to join us if your mornings are full, good chance to find out how it all works before the big tournament too.
