Midget Page Updates

The Midget page has gone through something of a clean up for a couple of its seasons. Most of the attention was given to 1996 and 1999.

A number of the game summaries I'd located were printed at the library years ago then scanned from those prints. They were of terrible quality and have been replaced. 

In the case of 1999, at the time I'd only been able to locate a few paragraphs from the Ottawa Sun in regards to the championship game. The Citizen summary was far more detailed. It has replaced the Sun's article on the Midget page and is being shared below.

I'd had a similar issue with 1996. The championship game article scan was poor and badly cropped. That's been fixed and a team celebration picture that I'd been unable to fit now does and is included.

There have been a number of other updates too small to spotlight, such as the addition of game results for the three local junior teams of the late 2000s, the Sooners, Jr. Riders and Cumberland Panthers. There had been gaps in the local coverage but I managed to locate those scores using the Gazette newspaper in Montreal since the rest of the team in the QJFL are located there (or nearby). In some cases, the home team is not identified, unfortunately. 

Finally, in looking for information about 1996 in particular, I came across this graphic of Jesse Palmer regarding his recruitment to the university of Florida. I can't tell you that I'm a huge fan of the guy, for all his successes, but I like that his statistics as a Rider are included.
