Team USA vs The World
While the game is televised on the NFL Network, in case there are people out there who want to keep track of the local content but do not have that network (hey, it could happen…), I plan on updating throughout the game. Hit your refresh button to keep track of how the World Team as [...]
Opening Kick-Off, Jan 24th
This is a pretty dead time for amateur football but a recent discovery, which may be common knowledge to the rest of the world, has enabled me to remain busy making small changes to several parts of the site. I never bothered to look too deeply into the archives section of Google News but it [...]
“Evraire invades coaching ranks”
Tim Baines of the Ottawa Sun covered the Invaders’ appointment of Ken Evraire as Head Coach yesterday. Ken Evraire has been out of the Canadian Football League for more than 10 years. But that didn’t dampen his love for the game, a passion that he’ll bring as coach of the new Ottawa Invaders semi-pro team, [...]
Growing the Midgets
The NCAFA Midget level will be getting the bulk of the attention this weekend. I had been waiting for the final week of the regular season to be included on the NCAFA stats page prior to copying them here. However, the only team that has its full stats on display is the Nepean Redskins (and [...]
“Crapigna kicks it up several notches”

“Choo Choo’s glory blazed across the Atlantic”
Earl McRae of the Ottawa Sun makes us aware of the passing of Gene “Choo Choo” Roberts. When I was a young boy, I had a hero, the first I ever had in sports, and though I never ever saw him play, nor met him, when I heard recently that he’d died, I felt a [...]
Ottawa’s contribution to the world!
Sort of…The article below is from Canada.com and lists the 31 Canadian players on the 43-man “world” team which will play against the US. The Ottawa-based players are highlighted. Not mentioned is that the team’s manager is former Rough Rider Rick Sowieta. PARIS – Canadians dominated the roster announced Wednesday for the World team battling [...]
Ottawa Football Factory
Well, if nothing else, this group wins the Capital Region Football “favourite name” award… I was made aware of this program earlier today. While it appears that the region is not lacking for football camps (it’s difficult for me to compare since I don’t pay attention to other parts of the country), this one seems [...]
