Bordy's Amphora

I did a class project for Sports and Society in Ancient Greece for which I made a Panathenaic Amphora of today's modern version of the Pankration (a mix of boxing and wrestling) which is also known as a hockey fight. I have portrayed on the amphora pictures of Patrick Bordeleau in the midst of one boxing pose and one wrestling hold, with an official and one with a version (albeit a loose version) of Athena...the goalie. There is an inscription in greek that reads "Prime (champion) of the Pankration of the AHL" along with is name. I wanted to get his reaction, so here it is. I haven't decided what to do with it yet...Maybe when he scores a goal this season...he can 'urn' it!
