The 2010 version of the Red Bombers take to the field on Saturday, August 28 at Chapman Field. We look forward to a large number of players returning for year 2 as well as 20 or more new players from all over the province’s high school programs. Having recreational football on campus has given many students a different option for school.
The league is bigger by two teams and both Holland College and the Dalhousie Tigers are keen to make their presence felt immediately. Last year’s league was extremely well matched and we look forward to the same exciting play which could see each and every game be up for grabs.
Our intention is to cross train many of our players to develop the kind of depth in our team that we lacked last year once injuries set in. Players will learn a position on both sides of the ball to help in this regard. Additionally we hope to begin to develop the skills and techniques of our younger players so that we can build towards the future.
We hope that alumni in the area are able to make it out to the games and drop by the bench to say “hi” and meet some of the players. Repeating last year’s accomplishments will be very difficult but it certainly is our goal, as a team and a coaching staff!
The Red Bombers wish to welcome three new members of the coaching staff
Neil Cody, Linebackers: 27 year old and attending UNB in September to take MBA in Sports Management. For the past four years Neil has been the Defensive Coordinator at Lockview High School in Fall River, Nova Scotia. He has helped turn that program around from an 0-8 team to a contending program, finishing 8-2, while having one of the top ranked defenses in the province.
Terry McIntyre, Defensive Backs: Terry is a product of the ‘70’s from Mt. Allison and has worked relentlessly in building football in Fredericton and New Brunswick for the past 15 years. He has been instrumental in building a “football machine” in the Capital Area Minor Football Association and has been part of all aspects of the football scene in New Brunswick including the introduction of men’s and ladies Senior football. Terry in anxious to shift gears back on to the field and work the Red Bomber DB’s.
