On April 19th, 2013 at the 10th Annual GHL Banquet, the GHL community was presented with very surprising news. The Commish, Richard Scapillati, announced that after 5 years of being in charge, he would be stepping down, effective at the start of the 2013/14 Winter Season. He introduced his replacement - Nick Vocal - a GHL player who has moved up the ranks from pickup player to minor player to finally a major player this past season.

There was the usual assortment of videos, commercials and slideshows. There were many funny and also heartfelt speeches given.
