The Ottawa Rideau’s, Rangers and St. “Bridges”
I have finally made some headway into tracking the history of the above clubs. The results can be found here.

OVFL All-Star Prospects Game
The CFL considers the “flip” into its next season to be their awards night. Once that event is in the books, the focus towards the following season sharpens. Locally, I think this prospects game could be the one that signals that football is right around the corner. The game, according to the OVFL website, is [...]
“A New Era in Gee-Gees football”
The following was posted earlier today on the university’s official sports site. Some of it was already included here earlier but I’ll post the whole thing regardless in order to have it all in one place.

Local 2009 QJFL Award winners
Ah, the QJFL. How I simultaneously love and despise you. More or less at random, I made a trip to the QJFL’s website only to see that they posted an attachment listing their award winners.
