New format for the Canada Cup starting in 2010
The October ’09 Ontario Football Alliance newsletter included details of a format change starting next year. The 2010 Football Canada Cup will consist of only one age group rather than the usual two. The age ban for the Football Canada Cup is now Under 18 as of July 31, 2010. Players may not be younger [...]
“Championship hopes come Sooner”
The Ottawa Sun provides a preview of tomorrow’s Sooners/Wildcats game, the winner of which moves on to the Canadian Bowl. I came across a similar article in the Edmonton which basically makes the point that the Wildcats and Sooners are very similar teams. While I obviously enjoy the local scene a great deal, getting a [...]
St. Peter 31, South Carleton 00
St. Peter didn’t play yesterday but the Orleans Star posted an article by Dan Plouffe about the Knights’ 31-00 victory last week against South Carleton. The St. Peter Knights wrapped up a dominant football regular season with a perfect 6-0 record by downing the host South Carleton Storm 31-0 on Friday, Oct. 23 – the [...]
“Defence comes through in hard-fought victory”
Here’s a trimmed down version of Don Brennan’s recap of the Sooners’ victory yesterday against St. Leonard. As a side note, when the Renegades joined the CFL in late 2001, I decided that I would get into them all the way and scrounge for every little peice of information I could find. The one thing [...]
Sooners crowned OFC Champions
Here is the Sooners’ press release in regards to their victory earlier today in the OFC Championship. I’ll check tomorrow to determine what kind of coverage the local papers give it. The Ottawa Sooners defeated the St Leonard Cougars 14-11 to capture the Teddy Morris Memorial Trophy and win the Ontario Football Conference Championship. The [...]
Gee-Gees 24, Lancers 09
Here is a slightly trimmed down version of Darren Desaulniers’s article for The Citizen in regards to yesterday’s Gee-Gees regular season win. The victory closed out the regular season and established playoff position. The Gee-Gees used the run to their advantage on a slick turf at Frank Clair Stadium, running the ball 36 times for [...]
Canterbury / Orleans NCAFA Midget championship match-up
I uploaded a number of pictures yesterday from last Sunday’s Canterbury Mustangs / Orleans Dukes game. This was before I found out the results of the previous night’s playoff games. Both won their respective playoff games, so it just so happens that the same two teams will meet for the NCAFA Midget Championship on Friday [...]
“Ottawa Sooners confident heading into final”
This preview of today’s OFC Championship contest was actually in yesterday’s Ottawa Sun, but I was unable to post it to due to connection issues. Don Brennan gives us the run down: Home field translated into no advantage in games between the best two teams in the Ontario Football Conference this season. The Ottawa Sooners [...]

Panthers victims of their own success?
One of my favourite pages to updates is the Ottawa Amateurs list. I find it interesting to note which CIS programs recruit most heavily from this area. It’s been difficult to do this year. The CIS site is scheduled to be upgraded and as a result, rosters have not been updated. It then becomes a [...]
