  • Calgary-Laval Rematch Headlines 52Nd Arcelormittal Dofasco Vanier Cup
    Calgary-Laval rematch headlines 52nd ArcelorMittal Dofasco Vanier Cup Nov 21, 2016 By Alexander Cole, U Sports Correspondent After 13 exciting weeks of U Sports football, the 52nd ArcelorMittal Dofasco Vanier Cup, which will be held on Nov. 26 at Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton, Ont., will come down to a match between the Université de Laval Rouge et Or and the University of Calgary Dinos. The Rouge et Or, who will be appearing in their tenth Vanier Cup match since 1999, were a force to be reckoned with all season, finishing with a record of 7-1. The team was ranked first in the nation by the U Sports top 10, and placed second in the RSEQ conference, just behind their rivals, the Université de Montréal Carabins. Throughout their playoff run, Laval has demonstrated why they are one of the best teams in the nation. In the RSEQ semifinals, the Rouge et Or made quick work of the Concordia Stingers, with a 39-14 victory. The following week, the team narrowly edged the Carabins 20-17 in the Dunsmore Cup championship, thanks to a last minute trick play which saw quarterback Hugo Richard catch the game-winning touchdown. In their most recent contest on Saturday, the Rouge et Or blew out the Laurier Golden Hawks in the Uteck bowl. The Golden Hawks, who were coming off a thrilling comeback victory against the Western Mustangs in the Yates Cup, were no match for the No.1-ranked Rouge et Or, dismantling Laurier 36-6 with Richard passing for two touchdowns and rushing for one.

  • And Just Like That the 2018 Football Season Is in the Books. We Had an Exciting Playoff Run and a Place at the Yates Cup
    And just like that the 2018 football season is in the books. We had an exciting playoff run and a place at the Yates Cup. Although our season may have ended with a loss, this young Gryphon team will be back! Enjoy a recap of our final week of the season and a sneak peek of what's to come with this issue of The Gryphons' Lair. Contact Bill Brown at [email protected] Six Gryphons Awarded OUA All-Rookies Gryphon Football led the conference when the OUA All-Rookie Team was announced before the Yates Cup. J.P. Cimankinda, the rookie running back from Ottawa, ON, became a key player in the later half of the season. He finished the year with back-to-back 100+ yard games and with the second most rushing yards on the team, with 296. Juwan Jeffrey, our other rookie running back from Brampton, ON was right behind J.P. with 278 rushing yards, and a touchdown. Kiondre Smith, from Toronto, ON, pulled his weight on the Special Teams end with 403 kick return yards, 401 punt return yards, and a touchdown, resulting in his leading the team in all- purpose yards. Defensive back Brendan Murphy, from Chateauguay, QC, was another great addition to our Gryphon defence this year. He is known for his hard-hitting tackles that tallied up to almost 30, while also picking up 3 sacks, an interception, and 5 pass break-ups. Tavius Robinson, from Guelph, ON, was a monster defensive end on the field standing at 6’8” and a handful of key sacks made.

  • U SPORTS Cancels 2020 Fall Championships Due to COVID-19
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE U SPORTS cancels 2020 fall championships due to COVID-19 Cancellation of fall term national championships for the protection of Student-Athlete health and safety; Eligibility regulations refined June 8, 2020 TORONTO – U SPORTS, the national brand of university sports in Canada, announced Monday the cancellation of its six 2020 fall national championships and modifications to eligibility and scholarship regulations in response to the COVID-19 situation. “U SPORTS has been working hard with the four conferences, our 56 member institutions and medical experts to examine the feasibility of delivering the fall national championships this season,” said Lisette Johnson-Stapley, U SPORTS Chief Sport Officer. “Taking into account the academic realities of university sport, we arrived at a point where a tough decision had to be made.” The decision comes as a result of the on-going uncertainties with student-athlete health and safety, travel and public health restrictions that affect parts of the country and different curriculum delivery models being proposed on the campus of its 56 member universities. “Although the Canadian sport system is working together to create evidence-based return to training, practice and competition protocols, it is not currently feasible or safe due to the COVID-19 Pandemic for U SPORTS to be able to offer fall championships given the academic realities of student-sport,” said Dr. Taryn Taylor, U SPORTS Chief Medical Officer and representative on the Own the Podium Return to Sport Task Force. “We continue to work with public health officials across the country to examine possibilities for return to play for the winter 2021 term.” The affected championships include the sports of women’s field hockey, men’s and women’s cross-country running, men’s and women’s soccer, women’s rugby and football including the national semifinals (Mitchell and Uteck Bowls) and the Vanier Cup.

  • '86 Champions
    ‘86 CHAMPIONS - THE ROAD TO GLORY Hardy Cup – Central Bowl – Vanier Cup Champions THUNDERBIRD FOOTBALL THRILLER – On the field or in the classroom, UBC is awesome. By Steve Campbell Ubyssey UBC won its second Canadian football championship in a thrilling fashion last November in what many observers agree was one of the most exciting Vanier Cup games ever. But, UBC head coach Frank SMITH doesn’t necessarily agree that these kind of games are good for his health. “Both the semi-final (32-30) over Bishops and the Vanier (25-23) over Western were cliff hangers”. Moments of the game that will remain in the memories of all those who watched must included defensive standout Mark NORMAN staying in the game after suffering a severe leg gash, the defence blocking a Western field goal attempt in the second half, receiver Mike BELLEFONTAINE and his crucial late game catch; rookies James DAWSON and John KADLA filling in admirably; the inspired play of the offensive unit in the last two minutes that led to substitute quarterback Eric PUTOTO throwing the game winning touchdown to veteran slotback Rob ROS with just four second remaining. “I’ll never forget this Thunderbird team or this Vanier Cup game”, concludes SMITH. Amen coach, neither will anyone else. 1986 National Champions, Teammates for life Page 1. ‘86 CHAMPIONS - THE ROAD TO GLORY Co-Captains: L-R Jack BEETSTRA, Dwayne DERBAN, Leo GROENEWEGEN, Terry COCHRANE 9-WIFL all-Stars Leo GROENEWEGEN (OL), Rob ROS (R), Massimo GEREMIA (RB), Jordan GAGNER (QB), Matt FITZPATRICK (OL), Jack BEETSTRA (LB), Ron CRICK (LB), Dwayne DERBAN (LB), Mark NORMAN (DB), 3-CIAU all-Canadians-Leo GROENEWEGEN (OT), Jack BEETSTRA (LB), Mark NORMAN (DB), WIFL Coach of the Year, Frank SMITH, CIAU Defensive player of the Year-Mark NORMAN, WIFL league MOP-Mark NORMAN (Frank Gnup Award), CIAU lineman of the year-Metras Trophy-Leo GROENEWEGEN.

The bidding opportunity for the 2011 and 2012 Vanier Cup is expected for either late 2009 or early 2010.
