The three boys were on the United Nations (UN) youth teams. Hubbard's team finished third, while Hirsch and Ramicone's team finished fourth in the 12-team Men's Division. Rich said that the three boys were wonderful ambassadors for the U.S. and Lakeside.

Rich, Marilynn and the three boys would like to thank the Lakeside community, as well as the Lakeside Shuffleboard Staff and Club members. "They made this all possible with their work with youth shuffleboard over the years and particularly with their special efforts this summer to successfully make Germany 2010 a true Lakeside celebration," Rich said.
