Congratulations to Cleyon Laing, a former Charger who was selected ninth overall in the 2012 CFL draft by the Torono Argonauts.
What a year 2011 has been for all the Chargers teams! Beginning
with a Tier II Championship for the Midget team in the spring and
followed up by great seasons by all three other levels. The Atoms
won the Tier I CDMFA and Provincial Champship, the Peewees won the
CDMFA Tier II Championship and were Provincial Finalists,
and the Bantams wrapped up their season as CDMFA Tier I Finalists.
Congratulations

The
Silent Auction was a great success this year and a good time was had by
all. Thanks to everyone who contributed, helped organize or
purchased some great items! See you all again next year.
Congratulations to Rock Switzer on being named the Elite Sportswear
Athlete of the Week on October 11! Rock was selected for his
outstanding play with the Victory Christian Crimson Knights. You
can see an interview with Rock on the Global TV Newscast linked here
(go to 31:25 for the footage). Rock had great success
as a Charger and earned a spot on our Wall of Distinction. You can also watch the 55 yard game winning touchdown pass to another member of the Chargers Wall of Distinction, Cam Warren, here.
On August 18 we were fortunate to have a special
presentation on a sports concussion risk reduction protocol. All-Star
Edmonton Eskimo Patrick Kabongo and former Eskimo and four time Grey Cup
Champion Tim Fleiszer shared some valuable information on concussion warning
signs and prevention strategies with Charger players, coaches and parents.
We would like to thank Tim, the Sports Legacy Institute, Gil Scott
Sports Management, Xenith, and Wayne Gorniak of Northern Athletic for their
help and support. Special thanks to Patrick for his generous donation of
Xenith helmets and for all the photos and autographs and making the evening
memorable for all of us. Check out the Global News report (go to 13:38 in the linked video once the initial ad is finished).
2010
was a good year for the Chargers teams. The Midgets were CDMFA
Tier II finalists, the Bantams won the CDMFA and Provincial Tier II
Championship, the Peewees won the CDMFA Tier I Championship and were
Provincial Tier I finalists, and the Atoms were CDMFA and Provincial
Tier I finalists. Congratulations to all on a fun and successful
year!
2009
was a banner year for Chargers teams. It started off with a
Tier I Championship for the Midget team in the spring.
The younger kids followed up with a Tier II Championship at Atom, a
Tier I Provincial Championship at Peewee and an appearance in the Tier
I City Semifinals for the Bantams. Thanks to all the coaches and
volunteers whose hard work helped to make this possible.
