Homecoming 2025: Your Words and Photos
Blessed with beautiful fall weather, St. Michael’s College School’s (SMCS) Homecoming once again showcased the power of community. School spirit, camaraderie, and friendship permeated the campus on September 27, 2025, with over 1,000 visitors. The day was filled with competitive games of ball hockey, volleyball, soccer, basketball, and football. Those in attendance were treated to an entertaining performance courtesy of the school’s Homecoming Concert Band. Homecoming also welcomed back the annual SMCS Alumni Association Homecoming Hockey Tournament after its successful debut last year. Homecoming festivities got underway with an opening faceoff in the arena, featuring an eight-team tournament and over 80 alumni from the last three decades. Congratulations to Team Kelly for capturing the Legends Division and Team Keon for winning the afternoon’s Rising Stars Division. “I’m thrilled with the energy and enthusiasm surrounding the Alumni Hockey Tournament,” says Chris Paolini ’09, who shares the tournament organizing duties alongside former classmate Gianluca Mazzanti ’09. “Seeing the development over the past two years has been incredible and I’m excited by the potential to keep building on this momentum, making the tournament even stronger, more connected, and more meaningful for the SMCS community.” The day also featured several SMCS school teams in action, many of which were scheduled against the always competitive St. Andrew’s College (SAC) from Aurora. The much-anticipated afternoon senior football game welcomed back a historic and long-time Toronto Catholic rival, Michael Power. Congratulations to all our teams and competitors on a great showing at Homecoming and for many strong starts to their respective seasons.
