Celebrating achievement across the team

At Viking Fire Protection, moments of excellence do not only happen on job sites. They also show up in the personal achievements of the people who make up the organization.

One of our longtime Toronto team members, Billy Hostrawser, recently reached a major milestone outside of work. While working as a sprinkler fitter, Billy also competes professionally in the National Lacrosse League (NLL) as a member of the Toronto Rock, showing the same discipline and commitment in both environments.

From skilled trades to professional sports

Balancing a demanding trade career with professional athletics takes consistency, preparation, and focus. Billy’s ability to perform at a high level in both roles reflects the kind of dedication that resonates strongly within the Viking Fire Protection team.

His journey is a reminder that many of our people bring diverse backgrounds, talents, and ambitions to the workplace. These experiences often strengthen teamwork, resilience, and problem solving in day to day operations.
