THEN:

John Nowack and several other people, most of whom were friends from the Junior Chamber of Commece of Lapeer, formed the Lapeer Steelers Youth Football franchise approximately 25 years ago. I asked John how they came up with the name, and he told me that it was as simple as it being the one the decided on from the slew of names being tossed around at the time. He explained to me that they played teams from Clarkston, Waterford, Oxford, Pontiac, Rochester and some other teams as well. At that time, though, they didn't have any payoffs that he could remember.

Mr. Nowack, along with the partners at his law firm of Nowack, Poniatowski and Morgan, PC have allowed the Lapeer Steelers to use their basement for our equipment storage. Most of us know it as "The Dugout." They have been kind enough to allow us use of this area for the entire history of the Lapeer Steelers fo no charge.

President Mathew Hansel and Vice President Bob Travis presented John Nowack and his partners plaques of appreciation.
