FOREWORD by Hon. Alfred E. Smith For centuries past men of the cloth have played rôles of incalculable importance in the history of the world. Their interest and expressions of interest have helped to shape not only religious destinies for their adherents, but have served as instruments in the molding and remolding of the political spheres in which they lived. In this modern day and age a religious man has come forward to cope with destiny in shaping the ends of world living. He has youth and spirit. He has righteousness in his heart and brilliance in his mind. He uses both to preach his gospel and he proves conclusively that the man of words is greater than the man of swords. Too often do we feel that men of the cloth have no drama in their lives. Too often do we make the mistake of thinking that men of the cloth belong only to the altar.

    Historica Canada Education Portal The Frozen Gridiron Overview This lesson plan is based around several Footprints videos: Normie Kwong, Russ Jackson, Ron Lancaster and Angelo Mosca. Watch the minutes with your students prior to conducting the activities. The first Grey Cup game was played on a cold, blustery day in December 1909. The 1950 Grey Cup - The Mud Bowl - was such a mess that at one point a referee mistakenly thought a Winnipeg player was drowning in a puddle. Toronto's Exhibition Stadium was host to the 1962 Fog Bowl, a Grey Cup game that lasted two days. Before the modern era of artificial turf, domed stadiums and end zone antics, these football players defined the game when it was celebrated not as a lesser northern cousin, but as a distinctly Canadian creation. Aims To increase student awareness of the development of football in Canada; to increase student recognition of key players who dominated the field; to examine their accomplishments in their historical context; to explore how Canadian football became specific to the nation over the course of the twentieth century; to critically investigate the relationship between politics and sport; and, to explore Canadian unease with how the United States has influenced Canadian football. Background Three events transpired in 1909 that highlighted Canadian efforts to define our identity in the midst of our nation's frigid environment. The Canadian edition of Collier's Weekly announced Mrs. Percy E. Powell McCulloch as the winner of a competition to find a translation of "O Canada" that would be acceptable in English. Joseph-Elzéar Bernier, captain of the government steamship Arctic, placed a metal plaque at Parry Rock claiming Canadian sovereignty over the entire Arctic Archipelago.

  • FIVE MINUTE MAJOR: True Canadiana
    This page was exported from - The Auroran Export date: Sun Sep 26 9:01:10 2021 / +0000 GMT FIVE MINUTE MAJOR: True Canadiana By Jake Courtepatte It's true that the name ?Canadian Football League? is not very indicative of the dominant nationality of its employees. Of the maximum 44 players on a CFL roster, only 21 are required to be a Canadian citizen. Compare that to the number of Canadians in our nation's favourite pastime, the good old hockey game, of which almost 50% of the NHL is a Canuck, despite only seven of thirty teams north of the border. And yet, November's Grey Cup positively reeks of Canadiana. From a wacky scoring system where it's all but possible for a team to lead 2 ? 1, to the excitement of going to the air so often trying to gain those ten yards in just three downs, the CFL is uniquely ours. The down-to-earth charm of the CFL is matched by the allure of the unknown, where every game is anyone's game. In what other league can a franchise in its second professional season go from a 2-16 record to vying for the championship the next year? The 103rd Grey Cup is set for this Sunday in Winnipeg as a clash between the Western champion Edmonton Eskimos and the East's Ottawa Redblacks. While the Eskimos rode the hot hands of quarterback Mike Reilly to a two-major win over the Calgary Stampeders to book their ticket, the RedBlacks' Henry Burris completed an incredible 93-yard touchdown pass to Greg Ellingson with just over a minute remaining to stun the Hamilton TiCats 35 ? 28.

  • The Ontario Rugby Football Union: 1883-1906
    THE ONTARIO RUGBY FOOTBALL UNION: 1883-1906 By Robert Sproule Introduction There are several reasons why the Ontario Rugby Football Union was important in the development of Canadian football from its infant days in the early 1880’s through the era of pre-professionalism and the forward pass. The ORFU consisted of teams from every corner of Ontario: Kingston and Ottawa in the east, Toronto, Peterboro and Hamilton in the center, and London, Strathroy, Sarnia, and Stratford in the southwest. This was in contrast to the Quebec Rugby Football Union, the “other” league of eastern Canada. With the exception of two Ottawa teams and a third team from Brockville, the QRFU was more or less confined to the Montreal city area. Two teams that dominated the QRFU at the turn of the century, Ottawa City (now Ottawa Rough Riders) and Ottawa College, were from the Ontario Union. They had both won championships there before switching to the Quebec league. Ottawa College in particular had demonstrated the superiority of the university game against the city clubs by first winning five consecutive ORFU titles and then another four straight in the QRFU, including eight championships in an eleven-year span. The superiority of the city teams did not begin to emerge until 1935, when Hamilton defeated Queens in a challenge for the Dominion final. The ORFU produced three great football dynasties that dominated much of the sport – Ottawa College, 1885-89, Hamilton Tigers, 1903-06 and, outside the scope of this article, Sarnia Imperials 1929-39. It was the Ontario union that produced such stars as Rupert Muntz and Hugh Smith of the Argos, Edmond Senkler and Pope from Osgoode Hall, Rayside, Kenny and the McGee brothers from Ottawa, and finally the great Art Moore, Sepi DuMoulin and Ben Simpson from the famed Hamilton Tigers.

  • Canadian Football: Past to Present
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 13, No. 1 (1991) Canadian Football: Past To Present by Bob Sproule Here is a brief look at some highlights in 128 years of Canadian football: 1861- November 9, first documented football game was played at the University of Toronto on the present site of University College (400 yards west of Queens's Park). One of the participants in the game involving University of Toronto students was William Mulock, later it's Chancellor. 1868- First written account of a football game played in Quebec was by R. Tait Mackenzie. It was between a team of officers from the English troops garrisoned in Montreal and a team of civilians, mainly from McGill University. 1869- The Hamilton Tigers Football Club was formed. 1870- The Hamilton-Toronto rivalry was born when the two cities met in a 15-man per side "refined rugby game." ????- The Montreal Football Club was formed. 1872- The first game played in Quebec occurred when the Montreal Football Club played Quebec City to a scoreless tie. 1873- The Toronto Argonaut Rowing Club formed the Toronto Argonauts in September and played its first game against the University of Toronto on October 4. 1874- The rules of a hybrid game of English rugby devised by the University of McGill were first used in the United States in a game at Boston between McGill and Harvard. On May 14, Harvard won 3-0 using Harvard rules. The next day, the teams tied 0-0 while playing Canadian rules. Harvard liked the new game so much they introduced it into the Ivy League.

  • The First Grey Cup: 1909
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 5, No. 10 (1983) THE FIRST GREY CUP: 1909 By Robert Sproule Finally, after much discussion Lord Earl Grey, then Governor- General of Canada, donated a cup for "amateur" competition in Canadian senior rugby foot-ball. For once and for all, this cup was to decide a true national champion, starting in 1909. It was for only those teams in good standing with the governing body of football, the Canadian Rugby Union. It really affected only unions in eastern Canada, from Montreal to Hamilton. They were the Inter- Provincial Rugby Foot-Ball Union (the Big Four), the Inter-Collegiate Rugby Foot-Ball Union, and the Ontario Rugby Foot-Ball Union, the oldest of the three. The Big Four ended their schedule with two teams tied for first place. Ottawa Rough Riders went through the season almost undefeated, but dropped their last game to the Hamilton Tigers 30-5. Ottawa's loss gave the Tabbies a share of first place, with both clubs tied with 5-1 won-lost records. The playoff match was held at a neutral field in Toronto. With the kicking of the great Jack Williams, Riders outscored Hamilton 14-8 before 7,000 excited fans to capture the IRFU title. They prepared to advance against University of Toronto, the college champs. Actually, Tigers had been confident in playing Ottawa, and had looked forward to a rematch with Varsity, whom they had defeated in the 1908 championship game, 21-17. They were so confident of meeting the students again that they had devised a special defence to contain Smirle Lawson, the big pIunger of the coIlege league.
