All Star game will not go

Posted on September 22nd, 2011, 7:39pm

Gord Goddard and the folks in Sudbury advise that the All Star game slated for September 24th in Sudbury has been cancelled. The reason, poor player commitment to participate. Only three of the 8 teams had players express an interest in attending. This will obviously be a topic for discussion at the Fall Meeting slated for Barrie on Saturday November 19th.

Third time is a charm for Outlaws

Posted on September 18th, 2011, 1:44am

The third meeting between the Tri City Outlaws and the Calgary Wolfpack proved to be the one that exorcised some demons as the Tri City Outlaws prevailed 31-14 in Waterloo on Saturday night. Jonathon Nedeljkovic carried the mail 38 times for 180 yards and crossed the goal line twice for the winners. Bryan Rosekat and Aron Froese scored the other majors for the victors with David Sevigny booting a 49 yard field goal and four converts. Mike Leason caught two touchdown passes from brother Darryl for the Wolfpack. This is the Outlaws first Canadian Senior title with Calgary dropping to 3-5 in Canadian title games. The summary is attached as well as updated past CSFL/CMFL final results.
