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. [...]

“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.

“Converted linebacker shows soft hands”
I don’t watch the CFL (at the moment) so I was not aware of former Gee-Gees linebacker Mike Cornell’s signing with Calgary.
