Brampton Bears enter OFC

The Ontario Football Conference held its annual general meeting this weekend in Toronto.

The Brampton Bears have been accepted unanimously and will begin play in the junior division in 2010. The Bears are led by President Ian Smith iandebbie@hotmail.com and Head Coach Mark Houlder mark.houlder@rogers.com

An excerpt from the Bears mission statement: ‘The Brampton Football mission is to educate and introduce young men to the personal and community wide benefits associated with teamwork, discipline, respect and sacrifice.’

The Brampton Satellites (1975-1978) were the last OFC team from Brampton.

The 2010 OFC Executive is led by returning President Doug Dittmer. Paul Bartle is the Past President. The two Vice Presidents are Peter Downey and Mike Ramsay.

The 2010 OFC appointments are Secretary & Referee in Chief Bill Butcher, Treasurer Rob Annen, Registrar Gary Strong, Statistician Jim Stevenson and Media Coordinator Jack Emerson Low, all returnees from 2009.

Two new positions for 2010 are John Smyth as Medical Coordinator and Brian Copeland as a Member at Large. Brian’s main focus will be assisting new entries to the OFC as well as other special projects.

The 2010 OFC schedule will be released shortly.

The Vancouver Trojans Fold

The British Columbia Football Conference's Vancouver Trojans have merged with the South Surrey Rams commencing this season. The two teams will run as a joint operation playing as the Rams and have protected 65 players. The BCFC have placed a moratorium on the other member teams from signing the remaining players until March 1, 2010.

Despite their “non-playing status” the Trojans will still operate their minor program independently. If the Trojans wish to re-enter the BCFC in the future they will be required to apply to the League.

BCFC President Frank Naso says, "The Trojans have been a strong organization over the years, despite their record for the past few. The combination of the economic downturn and the loss of most of their Direct Access funding caused fiscal hardship to the Conference's oldest franchise - to the point that the junior program was no longer viable."

The Trojans captured the national championship in 1982, but have struggled on the field. In their last two seasons the Trojans 1-19, including finishing 0-10 during the 2008 season.

The 2010 BCFC schedule will be released in the next few weeks.
