Patrick 'Butcher' Callan

Butcher started pulling in 1988 in Ontario after seeing armwrestling on the Wild World of Sports t.v show. It led to him attending a tournament hosted by the Port Perry Armwrestling Club and he asked them if he could join their team. He was denied because they said he was not strong enough at the time. Butcher then drove 5 hours to London

Butcher started pulling in 1988 in Ontario after seeing armwrestling on the Wild World of Sports t.v show. It led to him attending a tournament hosted by the Port Perry Armwrestling Club and he asked them if he could join their team. He was denied because they said he was not strong enough at the time. Butcher then drove 5 hours to London, bought a table from the late Murray Park, returned to Peterborough where he started the Kawartha Armwrestling Club. In 1994, Butcher moved to BC and got in touch with Dave Hicks and has been an important part of the Vancouver Armwrestling Club ever since.
