Peewee History
The
Chargers Football Club formed the first peewee team in the City of
Edmonton in 1992. They participated in the St. Albert and
District Minor Football League. At that time and in that league,
there were weight restrictions. Large players were identified
with a red stripe down the centre of their helmets. The season
was a learning experience for all.
In 1994, the Peewee team was no longer just rookies. We were
still playing in the St. Albert and District Minor Football
League. The team had a very successful season and ended up as the
Tier II Champions.
The Chargers Peewee Football team had an incredible year in 1995.
They ended up in first place in the St. Albert and District Minor
Football League. After a number of exciting playoff games they
won the Tier I Championship.
In 1996, Chetan Gosavi took over as Head Coach. The team was now part
of the Capital District Minor Football Association. With more
teams to play the team faced more challenges but overall had a
successful season.
The Peewee team continued to build in 1997 and for the first time faced
opponents from Sherwood Park, who had just joined the new
association. The team worked hard and learned lots about the game.
The Chargers Peewee team in 1998 had a very successful regular
season. In post season play , they only lost one game to become
the Capital District Minor Football Association Tier II Champions.
In 1999, the Peewee team lost only one regular season game and tied one
other one. The team had 160 points for and only 22 points against
in the regular season. They won all of the playoff games to
become CDMFA Peewee Tie I Champions. They proceeded to Peewee
Provincials in November where they lost to the powerful Calgary
Cowboys.
The Chargers Peewee team in 2000 had a record of 6 - 1 - 1 with 129
points for and 31 points against. They were successful in League
play off games to become the CDMFA Peewee League Champions for the
second year in a row. The Peewee Provincial Championship against
the Calgary Wildcats in Edmonton was a close game with the Chargers
Peewee team coming out of top.
In 2001, the Chargers Peewee Football team had a record of 5 - 2 - 1,
with 168 points for and 53 points against. They won the Capital
District Minor Football Association Tier I Championship for the third
year in a row. The Peewee Provincial Championship against the
Calgary Wildcats ended 34 to 21 for the Chargers, making them Football
Alberta Peewee Provincial Champions for the second year in a row.
James Devine became the head coach of the Chargers Peewee Team in
2002. The team had a large number of rookie players and for the
first time in years did not fare well in playoff games.
The Peewee team started a bit slow in 2003 but finished the season very
strong. They ended up winning the Capital District Minor Football
Association Tier II Championship.
In 2004, the team was again undefeated, winning 7 regular season games
with 205 points for and only 8 points against. They lost their
first game of the season in game one of the playoffs, moving them to
Tier II. The team refocused and didn't lose a game after that,
beating the Calgary Mavericks 40 - 2 in the inaugural Football Alberta
Peewee Tier II Provincial Championship.
The Chargers Peewee team finished in fourth place in the John Bright
Division of the Capital District Minor Football Association for 2005
with 6 wins and 3 losses. According to league rules this entered
them in the Tier II side of the playoffs. After defeating the
Camrose Buffalos and the Stettler Panthers, the team went to Calgary
for the Peewee Tier II Championship where they played the Foothills
Eagles. In a game that went down to the final second, the team
came out of top 28 to 26, making them the Football Alberta Peewee Tier
II Provincial Champions for the second year in a row.
The 2006 Chargers Peewee team had a very successful year until playoffs
rolled around. Bad weather causing game delays resulted in a lack
of focus during the final playoff game creating an early end to the
season. Despite the season end, the Peewee team had a great group
of players who had lots of fun on and off the field.
