There are many international players making their mark with rugby's current season. This list includes seven Bay of Quinte product that have made the grade.
The first round of this championship saw the Loyalist Lancers in action, as well the Kingston St. Lawrence Vikings. The Peterborough Fleming Knights were also present, as was the Oakville Sheridan Bruins. However, a handful of the big names are on the wrong side of the draw. Even the Loyalists aren't yet on the right side of the scoreboards at the beginning.
The most prized trophy is the one whose name is on the shirt of the Loyalists. James Lowe (former Leinster stalwart) is this man. He has a lot to his credit.
There were notable performances by some top regional guns, aside from the above-mentioned winger's tussle. Particularly, the Loyalists’ scout hat is a sight to see. However, it is not one that is for the faint of hearts. While it may not be a home run, it is still an impressive feat for the team.
The Loyalists’ newest member had its moments, even if there were some mistakes. Among the more memorable were the impressive score by Christine Vandertoorn, and the bruising blowout by Britt Whiting. But the best of the lot was the display by Amanda Blair. Although Blair was awarded the OCAA female rugby player-of-the week award, the best part of the day was her kicking game. Taking advantage of a brisk icy wind, Blair booted three penalty kicks, while also claiming the aforementioned player of the week award.
There were certainly many amazing feats in the OCAA's men and women's leagues. Although it is not unusual for teams to be named "Jackson", or "Jake", they may be best left behind. The "George North", "George Davidson" and "George Davidson", among others, were unable to play in Round 2. However, the "Geoff Farrar," and "Gabe Davidson", stayed home to win. Nonetheless, the Vikings and the Lancers each came away with a win. Names of other contestants remain a mystery.
It's a completely different story in the OCAA men’s leagues. Although the reigning champs are in the midst of a losing streak, the Vikings and Lancers have shown the OCAA that they are no longer confined to Kingston. They have shown that they are capable of making significant moves, as evident by the scores this season. They have a chance to finish in the top four and win the top spot, even though they are only a few rounds in. They will return to the winners' podium if they are able to keep their heads straight when they reach the finals next season.
It's safe to assume the other OCAA male league contenders will be vying for the title.
FAQ
How does the sport of parasailing differ from parachuting?
Para-gliding is a form of flying above ground using a harness and a small sail. The harness allows for you to fly. The harness keeps you safe if you fall through the air.
Flying requires no special equipment. You simply attach yourself to the sail. Then you go off. As you gain altitude, the wind pushes against the sail. This helps to lift your spirits.
As you glide along, your momentum keeps you moving forward. You continue to move forward with your momentum until you reach the end. The cable ends and you are free to let go of your grip, and then you fall back to Earth.
Once you are ready to go again, attach the sail to your body.
The sport of parasailing is growing very fast. More than 1 million people participated in parasailing in 2013. It was almost double the number that did so in 2008.
