Congratulations to former Bomber Daniel Petermann on earning a spot on the Olympic team for flag football. Canadian men finished in third to qualify for the Olympics. They are coached by former Bomber coach Paul laPolice. The Canadian women also qualified winning the tournament with a victory over the USA.
Our women's team is very good.
Both the men and women should be favored to medal at the Olympics.

Also Daniel Vandervoort, Dequoy, and Michael O'Connor who was Rourke's Cdn. backup before he left for the NFL.
This is good, it was looking dodgy for a second there. Leaving it until the last game to qualify. I really like the idea of having a "2nd chance" at football for CFL retirees, some of whom quit because their bodies couldn't take the abuse of tackle football.
Hmm, now I'm wondering if Dequoy decided to retire because he had this lined up as his next gig? If you think about it, flag football was designed for a guy like Dequoy. He should be phenomenal.
Heck, with no hits, Milt should be playing! ;D ;D I bet he's wishing they had this right after he retired! A gold medal is as good as a GC ring!
