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 that appears to be due to not playing in the final week of the regular season).

Since the page was last updated on October 15th, I think we can assume that the final week will not be added any time soon, or at all.  Therefore, I have copied the Redskins stats and will do the same for the other teams, with a disclaimer that the totals are for seven games only.  Beats not having them recorded at all, and if I find that the final week’s numbers are added later, I’ll modify mine accordingly.

Speaking of the Redskins, I had previously created a page specific to the 2005 edition of that club due to their dominance at the time.  Reviewing some of the links on the Resources page, I noticed that I actually had access to NCAFA Midget stats and rosters from 2002 to 2007 through Statspack.

Being that the Statspack page hasn’t been updated in over two years, and many of its links are dead, I suspect it may not be around much longer.  So I’ll attempt to hoarde what I can.  I’m not out to steal from anyone, but I also don’t want that information to be lost.

What I hope to be able to do is collect the rosters of the Midget champions  during that time frame.   At the moment, the individual team pages pretty well only include past scores but before long, if everything goes well, they will either have the roster included under the results, or have a link leading to the roster on a separate page.

Lastly, as a general “shout out”, the successful return of the Canterbury Mustangs in 2008 only makes it harder to view Kanata Knights information while they are no longer a part of the midget level.  I don’t know the cause of that team’s termination however if there is a way by which I can assist in restoring it, get a hold of me.
