November 2019
The Gryphons’ Lair Issue 34 - November 2019 What Happened in October? Game 7 vs. Queen’s The Guelph Gryphons travelled to Kingston, Ontario to take on the Queen’s Gaels in a Thursday night, pre-Thanksgiving match-up. The entire game was very back and forth throughout, with the Gryphons tying up the game late in the fourth quarter, bringing us to overtime. With a defensive stop on Queen’s overtime drive, Guelph was able to respond and get the ball to the 26-yard line, setting up Kicker, Eric Stranz, to kick the winning field goal. Our Offensive Player of the Game was Running Back, Juwan Jeffrey. Our Defensive Player of the Game was Defensive End/Linebacker, AJ Allen. Lastly, our Special Teams Player of the Game was second-year Kicker, Eric Stranz, who has been 13-of-15 on field goals at this point in the season. To read more on our Players of the Game, please click here. To read more on this game, please click here. Thanksgiving Weekend After a Thursday night win in Kingston, the team had the Thanksgiving weekend off to spend time with family and friends. As many members of our team come from British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan, the trek home was just not doable. That’s when Gryphon Football’s POP Group leader, Bruna Ferraro, stepped in to host the boys at a Thanksgiving dinner and made them feel at home during the long weekend. Thank you, Bruna and the Ferraro's for hosting our boys. Game 8 vs. U of T On Saturday, October 19th, the Guelph Gryphons took on the Toronto Varsity Blues in the last regular season game of the year.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE U SPORTS launches 100-day countdown to 53rd ArcelorMittal Dofasco Vanier Cup; Tickets on sale now August 17, 2017 TORONTO (U SPORTS) – The countdown is on to the 53rd ArcelorMittal Dofasco Vanier Cup as U SPORTS marks 100 days on Thursday until Canada’s national university football championship. The 2017 ArcelorMittal Dofasco Vanier Cup returns Nov. 25 to Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton, Ont.- home of the Canadian Football League’s (CFL) Hamilton Tiger-Cats – where the Laval Rouge et Or won a record ninth national title last season with a 31-26 victory over the Calgary Dinos. Hamilton’s Flag 5 on 5 Football League received the first official tickets to November’s championship contest on Tuesday, following their practice at Tim Hortons Field as special guests of U SPORTS. “They’re ecstatic,” said Hamilton’s Flag 5 on 5 Football League coach Kevin Harrison, who played for the Carleton Ravens from 1989 to 1991. “To be able to play on that field and now meet some of the guys that actually played in U SPORTS and to be able to watch the game and be the first to get tickets – they’re pretty excited.” Joining approximately 40 youth football players and their families in attendance at Tuesday’s special practices were former McMaster Marauders Mario Ceminara, Phil Scarfone and Russ Jackson. “Hamilton is a hotbed for football,” said Ceminara, an outside linebacker with McMaster from 1979 to 1983. “There’s probably a couple spots in Canada where football is integral to their city and definitely Hamilton is one of them.” “You’ve got a great venue here,” said Scarfone, the ex-Marauders quarterback, who won the Hec Crighton Trophy as the most outstanding player in U SPORTS football in 1984.
