Veteran rugby graduates go out as all-stars By Ryan Rogers Sports Editor November 28, 2007 The Lancer’s Rugby team had two of its graduating teammates announced as OUA West All-Stars last week. Lancers Graham Haigh and Captain Andrew Ziricino were honoured for their strong seasons, capping off long and rewarding careers in Windsor.
Haigh, awarded all-star status for his first time, said “People do pay attention to that. Some really good players have been named [all stars], it’s a first time for me, so it’s a little more special… It’s nice to get it in [my] last year.” >> | Curling teams named By Kirsten Unrau Lance Writer November 28, 2007
The Windsor Lancer’s curling team started practicing at the Roseland Golf and Curling Club in preparation for their big season ahead. With silver from last year’s OUA championships as motivation, both the women’s and men’s teams are looking forward to placing in the top four for provincials this year.
Head Coach Mark Masonavich, is showcasing the team’s talent by working in the community. The team helps out the “Little Rock” curlers program held at the curling club which includes grade four through eight students. The Lancers also host a High School clinic each year to aid students from Windsor and Essex County to develop skills for the game. >>

| | Website to get serious about sports By Ryan Rogers Sports Editor November 28, 2007 Sports writers Mike Mouat and Dominic Papa made a commitment three years ago when they created the Windsor Essex Sports Person of the Year awards (the WESPYs) to start treating Windsor’s local athletes and sports teams like professionals.
Coming in January 2008, they’ll be unveiling their latest efforts in mediating local sports and athletics, with Game Day Sports Daily, a website focusing exclusively on athletes and athletics in the Windsor Essex County.
“I was really excited about putting the WESPY Awards together, and it’s a real challenge. And I’m as excited about this as I was with the WESPYs,” said Papa.
Though the website isn’t going to be ready until January, the team has been working on recruiting a cast of webmasters, writers and broadcasters to make the Game Day Sports Daily experience the most comprehensive local sports information site available in Windsor, Essex County. >> |
