2022 Dedication of OCC VB Courts to Tom "Daddy" Haine

The volleyball courts at the Outrigger Canoe Club were named for Thomas "Daddy" Haine on December 17, 2022. Daddy was a two-time president of the Outrigger Canoe Club, original Winged “O”, captain of the 1968 U.S. Olympic volleyball team, Pan American Games silver medalist, member of the International Volleyball Hall of Fame, YMCA Volleyball Hall of Fame, Hawaii Sports Hall of Fame, 18-time All-American, 2-time AAU national open champion, 4-time USVBA masters champion, and recipient of the USVBA all-time Great Player Award in 1990.
It was on Outrigger courts that Daddy won the Hawaii Territorial doubles championships in 1951 and went on to win the Hawaii state doubles tournament 12 times.

Daddy demanded good sportsmanship, hard play and good language from everyone on his court. He competed harder than anyone but never sacrificed sportsmanship or goodwill for winning. Daddy was a legend, one of the most beloved volleyball players of his time, both nationally and here at the Outrigger Canoe Club. Off the sand, he was a banker and served in the Air Force and Hawaii National Guard as a jet pilot, attaining the rank of major.

Daddy passed away in 1994 after a workout at the Club. The first “Daddy” tournament was held in his honor over Labor Day weekend in 1994 and has continued every year since.
