    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.

Local businesses that sell board games might be able to assist you. Set up games in the gym that large groups can play all together such as dodge ball. Host an assembly and invite a community guest to your school o Local athlete, or players from local sports teams i.e. London Knights, London Majors Baseball, UWO Western Mustangs, London Lightning Basketball o School Superintendent or Trustee Ask students to organize and run a school-wide activity incorporating DPA, or plan ‘teachers vs. students’ competitions such as a fitness challenge. Invite a local community agency or business to share their expertise. Run an event or class at your school in the evening (yoga, karate, dance, etc.) Challenge classes or divisions to participate and publish the class that ‘Paused to Play’ the most in the principal’s newsletter. Collect data from class log sheets and compare results. See “Pause to Play…for Math!” for more ideas. Encourage students to use the time before and after school to be active by walking, cycling or using other forms of active travel to get to and from school. Walk with buddies for added safety and fun. Use mural paper to create a graffiti wall where students can write or draw activities they chose to do instead of viewing screens.

    Issue 9 - October 2017

    Issue 9 - October 2017 Great Beginning for Cimankinda Alain Cimankinda had pretty much a dream start to his OUA football career with the Gryphons last weekend. The 6-foot-1, 245-pound defensive lineman had three solo and six assisted tackles, three and a half sacks for a loss of 22 yards and he broke up a pass in the overtime loss to the Ottawa Gee-Gees to be named the league’s defensive player of the week. Read the rest of the article from gryphonfootball.com by clicking here. Pierre Moving up the Chart Running back Patrick Pierre should serve as a great example for the players who are currently on the Gryphons’ scout team. He was one of them last year and began this season as the starting running back. The scout team are the players who usually don’t play in the games, but they’re there every practice trying to behave the way the Gryphons’ next opponent will act on the field. They’re usually third, fourth or even fifth on the depth chart for their position. Read the rest of the article from gryphonfootball.com by clicking here. Zeph Fraser Here to Stay Receiver Zeph Fraser got the result he wanted when he was hoping that being reunited with Gryphon offensive coordinator Jean Francois Joncas would lead to good things. A transfer from the Laurier Golden Hawks who last played in the OUA in 2015, Fraser was named the league’s offensive player of the week for his performance in Monday night’s game against the Western Mustangs.

    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.
