Follow up article from Ed Tait. This is a great read.

One of the best articles I've read about players' activities outside of football.  Knowing Sergio a bit, I can vouch for him as a decent and great person.

Agree on Perkins, his past success shows he s got what it takes to play pro football, Wilson would be our SY Qb only

If the roster were set today, I'd agree.

But we hope to see others come to camp, with the ability to compete, if not for #2, then for #3/SY.

I didn't expect either Artopoeous or Wilson to survive training camp. Walters has already suggested they'll add a vet QB if Elgersma doesn't come up North. They have Perkins to be a SY prospect and Thorne to sit on the PR.

I would be okay with a shake up at the top. Chevy my have run his course with this team. Very disappointed that he didn't do more to improve the 2nd. line this season.

It's not possible. Mark Chipman is one of those owners who is involved with every decision. I don't think changing out the GM would result in any changes with how they do business.

Yeah, QB is the toughest spot to show enough early to survive long in the CFL. At this point I'm not even sure Wilson lasts this season. He could be anything from the # 2 QB to cut before TC. Going into the season with 2 rookies is not optimum but it's all TBD.

I have some hope about Perkins but I could say that about a new QB every season. lol

And then there were 4.


MBT is available, if we get really desperate.

They won't want to spend that much, they'll lure Shea Patterson back or give Streveler one more crack at the cat.  All the same, in the end they have nothing behind Collaros.

Quite the game last night.  Why no shots on goal?  Are the Ducks D that good?

I'm pretty sure they're the worst in the league, lol.

CH37 looked good, except when he didn't.  Probably going to win the "most rubber faced" award this year.

Some interesting plays from the rooks/new guys.  Salmonson is ready for the top pairing, IMHO.  He is just that good.  Rosen looks like he belongs, but needs a little more support that Toews and Nyquist.  Lambert's size puts him in with Koepke and Baron, but these are not linemates that will refine his hands.

Can we go back to

81 55 13
and then

91 19 27
14 17 9
45 36 93

Toews with some more speed around him should improve... until we get a 2C

March 10, 2026: OUT-OF-TOWN SCOREBOARD

The CW and BCIHL have finished, the OUA has two games remaining on Saturday, and the ACAC has two weekends of their championship series coming up. That leaves just the AUS.

OUT EAST

➤ AUS: Playoff Schedule/Results/Links


NEW BRUNSWICK REDS 4
MONCTON AIGLES BLEUS 3
(in overtime)
(Series tied 1-1.)

Link:
➤ AUS:  Boxscore with Game Report

This was an even-Steven game, with shots ending 31-31. After back-to-back one-goal games one has to believe that game three is going to be close.

Next up:
Thu Mar 12 Moncton at New Brunswick 7:00 ADT/5:00 CDT

This impacts the seeding for the U-Cup. The three conference winners are seeded 1-2-3 and the OUA runner-up is seeded 4. IMO this year's seeding is less significant than any other year because there are no awe-inspiring teams you want to avoid. I compare the official U-Sports rankings to the OHT35, and both are notable for the gaps where highly-ranked teams have been eliminated. Each has seen 6 of the top 12 eliminated already. Nine teams are still alive, with the OUA bronze game between Queen's and TMU eliminating one of those teams.
