Griffons 32, Triades 23
It is very good to read about the Cegep de l’Outaouais Griffons opening the 2010 season with a victory. The program grew extremely quickly, recording an 8-2 record in only its second season (2007). Then they sank just as quickly, for a variety of reasons, going winless last year. Now with upgraded facilities and a [...]
Le Marquand makes his mark
Early last week, Martin Comtois of Le Droit profiled Gee-Gees receiver Simon Le Marquand. Here is a translated, abbreviated version of his article: A year later, his right knee and right foot are doing better. So Simon Le Marquand has earned the label of one of the fastest Gee Gees. The 21-year-old Gatineau native recorded [...]
Gee-Gees 23, Lancers 14
I’m savings the recap from the Gee-Gees website for this game. Congratulations to coaches Asselin, Hall and the rest. Some were becoming critical of Denis Piché towards the end of his tenure but he still left an overall tough act to follow. To start things off with a solid road win must be very satisfying. [...]
“Quebec 6-man football team savours its Sask trip”
From time to time I come across articles about this program. While James Bay is ever-so-slightly outside the National Capital Region, the program remains of interest as it is run by a former Gee-Gee and a couple of its participants are now Ottawa Sooners. Based in a community isolated from most of the country, six-man [...]
Jr Riders 23, Monarx 00
Ottawa Sun – After a heartbreaking finish to last season, the Ottawa Jr. Riders started their 2010 campaign off on the right foot Sunday afternoon at the Minto Sportsplex. The Jr. Riders — who had a 19-point lead before losing 20-19 to Chateauguay in last season’s Quebec Junior Football League championship game — beat the [...]
Back from my bye-week!
This is being written on Friday, September 3rd, the afternoon before I prepare to return from an internet-less week away from home. I have a boat load of catching up to do. I did not get the NCAFA midget scores from the Friday night before my Saturday, August 28th, departure so by the time I [...]
“GGs follow the leaders”
Tim Baines is in a football mood. He also penned this article (for the Ottawa Sun, natch) about the Gee-Gees naming their team captains. When Ottawa Gee-Gees football coach JP Asselin went to some of his returning captains, they made it pretty clear that there should be a vote to pick this year’s captains. There’s [...]
“NCAFA kicks off football season”
In an earlier post, I stated that local media did not cover last week’s NCAFA Midget games. Turns out that’s not quite true: The Sun had a write-up about the Association’s 2010 opening weekend including the first of the midget games (the second must have been past their bedtime). Here is that level’s blurb in [...]
“Jr Riders have Manson in mind”
Tim Baines of the Ottawa Sun offered up the following preview of the Jr Riders 2010 season. The Junior Riders have a brand spanking new coaching staff, with Max Palladino replacing the departed Luigi Constanzo (now the special teams co-ordinator for the Gee-Gees). But even with so many changes on the sidelines, the Junior Riders [...]
Taking a knee, Aug 23rd
When using a slightly different layout for the main site, I used to have an opening segment unimaginatively called “opening kick-off”. Going forward, “Taking a knee” will simply refer to being done with the weekend’s action and commenting on the parts that the local media has not touched upon. I have not come across any [...]
