  • Gee-Gees Bring University Football to Ottawa's West
    Gee-Gees bring university football to Ottawa’s West End Ottawa, August 14, 2012 — Today, the University of Ottawa and Beckwith Township announced that university football is coming to Beckwith Park, which will serve as the Gee- Gees' home field for the 2012 football season. "The Beckwith Park field and facilities are among the best in Eastern Ontario,” said Luc Gélineau, director of Sports Services for the University. “More importantly, the community leaders’ enthusiasm for bringing the team to Beckwith has been overwhelming.” Beckwith Township’s Reeve Richard Kidd echoed the anticipation surrounding the Gee-Gees home schedule announcement. “We are very proud of the Beckwith Park facilities that we are able to provide to our residents. It is very exciting that our field of dreams will be the home of University of Ottawa football for 2012.” Football fans are invited to a Gee-Gees training camp practice on Monday August 27 at Beckwith Park. Further partnerships with the local football community will take place as the season progresses, including barbeques at the Gee-Gees games, and season ticket sales which will be partially donated back to local football programs. “We really want to use this opportunity to promote and grow football in the surrounding communities,” said Gélineau. Beckwith Park, located just west of the City of Ottawa, normally offers bleacher seating for 400 spectators. Temporary bleacher units will be brought in to provide additional general admission seats, and sideline grass seating will also be available. Free shuttle buses from the uOttawa Minto Sports Complex will be available to fans each game day.

The Golden Hawks will be looking to improve on their past performances in which they lost two close contests, one to the University of Manitoba Bisons and one to the University of Waterloo Warriors. In the game with the Bisons the Golden Hawks moved into a 13-0 lead on touchdowns by Bob McGregor and John Skinner. However, they lost their momentum and Manitoba rallied for a 15-13 victory. In the game with the Warriors this past Saturday the Hawks came from behind an 8-0 defecit and tied the score at the half by virtue of a touchdown by Doug Strong and single points by John Kruspe and Paul Grey. WLU had shown signs of coming on real strong. They were overpowering the Warriors in the 2nd and 3rd quarters and moved into the last period holding a 10-8 lead. However, the Hawks stopped taking the play to the Warriors and a 4th quarter touchdown by the University of Waterloo proved to be the margin of victory. - more - . 2 Head Coach Dave Knight, though perplexed over two straight losses, feels his team is maturing to a peak for the league opener.
