DA Member Profile: Family Legacy in Darts
As most of us are able to relate to, a legacy is not unfamiliar in every day life. What truly varies would be what the legacy is. For some it may be a family heirloom, an old book or even something from genealogy.
But how many of us can claim a legacy being passed down from one generation to another based on a sport? Not too many of us, especially if the sport is darts! And no one that I know of can stake a claim to passing this legacy not just from one generation to another, but to a fourth generation!

Brody Chapman: A Tribute
to a Champion
What is a champion? We all have our own perception as to what a champion is, or what a champion should be. But, do we really know what a champion is? According to Oxford, a champion is precisely this:
Champion: noun
1. someone who has won a competition,
2. a person who fights or argues for a cause or another person,
3. (verb) support the cause of…
Now, as we play the competitive sport of darts, we have all experienced and can support definition #1. What about number 2 or 3? How many of us can honestly make reference to using those definitions with every day life? Very few, if any!
What if I told you, there happens to be such a person? Would you believe me if I told you there happens to be a young child that fits the profile? And, how would it make you feel knowing that such an honourable person lived in our great province of Alberta?
Well, such a person does exist…his name is Brody
Chapman, and he is only 11 years old. Brody resides in Eckville with his mom and dad- Carmen and Jim Chapman. Though many aren’t familiar with Brody, most DA members are familiar with his mom and dad.
