It is such a blessing to serve as a committee member and league rep within a community she has developed such love for.

Having grown up playing a variety of sports, he has developed a deep passion for all types of sports and the community that is created. He is grateful to serve alongside an amazing group of people. When he is not “yelling” (encouraging …) and joking around with his teammates, you can find him working hard as a medical device engineer.
Chris Chan | Captains Coordinator
Chris has a strong sense of curiosity that results in an insatiable appetite for knowledge and desire for new experiences. Professionally, he deals with big data in the video game industry while moonlighting as a DJ.

Chris wore the ‘C’ for the past few seasons and has led the team to multiple podium finishes.

She is usually spotted eating in the SFX gym even though it is forbidden to do so.
Jasiel Jao
Jasiel, whose name rhymes with facial, spatial, racial, and glacial, served as a league rep and committee member. She enjoys dumplings, trees, and doodling, and suffers from a crippling fear of sharks. She is humbled to be a part of this ministry and looks forward to when the Bingo Bongos can make a return for the trophy.
Nathan Tjipta
Nathan (aka “the bald guy”) was the other committee rep for the captains. He has been involved with PentaSport from the beginning, playing for Friends of Tofu of VCEFC. He really likes to eat good food, go fishing, and is probably one of the only Asians who loves country music. BBQs and bonfires are one of his favourite things to do. Life has caused him to become a little less involved in PentaSport as of late but he hopes to be back playing and repping in the near future. He currently lives off Tim Horton’s or McDonald’s coffee.
Queenie Yu
