Aside from the CFL draft, there hasn't been a lot of football activity these days, as we're all painfully aware.
If I can find a silver lining, it is that I've put in plenty of time adding historical info for the various levels of play throughout the site. That includes...
- Adding game results (scores) for the Gee-Gees, Ravens and Sooners, mostly throughout the 60s and 70s.
- Adding Ottawa Citizen or Ottawa Journal game recaps to a few Panda Games.
- Adding Ottawa Citizen or Ottawa Journal game recaps for high school champions right up to about 2010. That page is almost done.
More specific to today, I've spent a bit of time adding to the
Jr. Riders page, but also removing something I'd put on there a few weeks ago.
First the newness: I've landed on, and copied, the Citizen's recap of the QMJFL 2000 championship win. Here it is below.
What's been removed from that page is any mention of the
Gloucester Redskins, the junior club that preceded the
Jr. Riders by a couple of years. What little information I'd been able to dig up on Gloucester was moved to the "defunct clubs" page.
Some accounts of
Jr. Riders history that I've come across state that the
Redskins "became" the
Jr. Riders but that doesn't really appear to be the case. An article in the May 28th, 1990, Ottawa Citizen specified that the Redskins folded.
Everything was different about the new club, from name, uniforms, coaches, owners, and so on and so forth. I'm sure many players just went from one team to the other but that's hardly evidence of the rebranding of an existing club. The more information I locate, the harder it is to think of the
Jr. Riders as an extension of the
Redskins so they (Redskins) won't be included on a page specific to the Riders.
