Last post by Jesse - Today at 12:12:33 PMThis seems like a sneaky good signing. Have a vet there so we don't end up totally screwed, but hope scouts find a gem who wins the position outright.

Goal: Kruger L (16 shots, 13 saves), Sim (11 shots, 9 saves), Maier (30 shots, 30 saves)
The Banjo-Mutts started fast, however the Evil Monkeys rallied and the play was actually very even. The score was misleading. Ethan Kruger made his return to the Monkey Enclosure but did not last. Perhaps returning from injury a little too soon?
Through two periods, the Monkeys were 0-for-4 on the PP, and trailed the game 3-0. Even one goal on those opportunities would have made for an interesting 3rd period.

The Family Guys seemed to be playing catch-up all night in this one. They scored first, but then trailed 3-1. They evened the game by mid-way through the 2nd, then entered the 3rd down 5-3. Bedrock U was really on their back foot all period, being outshot 15-5. However, all Mac could do was come within one before an empty-netter sealed the deal. Of note, the Dinos were 3-for-3 on the PP.
Mac's leading scorer, Kadyn Chabot, got a 10 minute misconduct after the empty-netter. I suspect for the use of one or more of George Carlin's seven words.

This is a surprise result. Queen's did not make the playoffs until the last day of the season when they won a head-to-head encounter with Nipissing. I believe that as the #6 seed, they will play #1 UQTR in the OUA East semi-finals. The shot clock was 43-19 in favour of Queen's, which is unusual in a big upset like this.

➤ AUS: Boxscore with Game Report
The SMUskies get bounced in two straight, but their season is not over. They host the Nationals, so they have a couple weeks of R&R. They outshot the Spuds 42-28, 16-5 in the 3rd period. I believe that if St. FX wins their series, they play UNB and UPEI would play Moncton in the next round. However, if Acadia wins, they play Moncton and UPEI would face UNB.

Blue Bomber & CFL Discussion Forum / Blue Bombers Add Defensive Bac...
Last post by ModAdmin - Today at 03:03:08 AMBlue Bombers Add Defensive Back Lamont
WINNIPEG, MB., February 20, 2026 – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has signed American defensive back Deandre Lamont.
Lamont (5-9, 185, Illinois State; born: November 12, 1998, in Baytown, TX.) signs with the Bombers after three seasons in the CFL (2023-2025), and a five-year collegiate career with Illinois State (2022), and Central Arkansas (2018-2021).
Lamont has made 39 career CFL starts over three seasons with the Ottawa Redblacks, recording 151 defensive tackles, eight special teams tackles, and four interceptions. In his breakout 2024 season, he started all 18 games and registered 86 tackles along with one interception.
Before the CFL, Lamont spent one season at Illinois State, appearing in 11 games and totaling 68 tackles, two sacks, one interception, and three pass breakups. He earned honourable mention All-Missouri Valley Football Conference (MVFC) honours in 2022. Prior to that, he was named First Team All-Atlantic Sun Conference in 2021 following his final season at Central Arkansas. Over his collegiate career, Lamont recorded 221 total tackles, six interceptions, and two sacks.

Last post by markf - February 20, 2026, 11:41:13 PMGood Woli highlight video. With Bailey.
I miss both those guys
Forgot how good Nichols was before he regularly got clobbered.
And prime Zach.
Yeah hoping for Nield.

Last post by Tecno - February 20, 2026, 11:00:41 PMWow. Look what we lost when we lost Woli. We never got that production back. Look at all the tough crossing/short routes, and look at Woli's ability to find the soft hole in the zone, especially when Zach has a few more seconds. And all the times he'd bust one behind coverage because he's good at baitin' & waitin' and a decent route runner. And nice YAC.
No wonder we haven't done too well since he got injured & then left.
Icing on the cake: 6:15 he does a Dressler-esque diving catch that basically no NAT does for us.
It's little wonder we won so much when Woli was healthy and our REC corps was stacked. Woli was the 4th or 5th read and yet he's a fully legit threat.
Our hope now has to be Nield can get that same level of production. (And don't no one bash my Nichols after watching that reel! '18-'19 Nichols may have been better than '25 Zach...)

That would be cool. Maybe make a blend and call it "Propa Bomba" (Bomma?).
He did say it's a no-inventory business though, so WFC would probably have to buy a batch up front. Plus, there's the whole "delivered fresh" thing that would go away if it sits on the shelf for even a week.

AFAIK "forward progress stopped" is not challengeable.
