    Justin Chapdelaine, Jacque's son, has been appointed Bishop University's OC.


    The 26-year old played quarterback and receiver at Queen’s University and won a Vanier Cup in 2009. After his playing days, Chapdelaine got into coaching. He started as a graduate assistant with Queen’s before following his father, Jacques, to Simon Fraser as an assistant recruiter and running backs coach. When his dad became the offensive coordinator with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Justin followed and became an offensive assistant.
    In 2016 the younger Chapdelaine ventured to the University of Calgary where he coached the Dinos receivers all the way to the Vanier Cup. Most recently, he was the Montreal Alouettes receivers coach last season during Jacque’s tenure.
    “Bishop’s has a great tradition both athletically and academically,” said the newest addition to the Gaiters’ coaching staff. “It’s also a bit nostalgic for me. I was born in Sherbrooke and my dad’s first offensive coordinator position was with the Gaiters. I also still have family in the area. I look forward meeting and reconnecting with the people around Bishop’s and Lennoxville.

    “I really believe that we have an ability to be competitive in our conference. I appreciate that Cherif had the belief to give me this opportunity as an OC.

    New Westminster Secondary School Hyacks (Jon Cornish's alma mater) are becoming a football factory as five players sign letters of intent with CIS teams. Coach Farhan Lalji led the team to the BC provincial championship in 2017 with a literal last second win.

    https://www.instagram.com/p/BfuH-OwHcur/

    Terry Fox had won the 2017 Subway Bowl triple-A football championship at B.C. Place, 14-7 victors over the Hyacks.
    Until … they hadn’t.
    The referees waved back the tide of celebrating Ravens rushing onto the field, instructing the scorekeepers to put a single second back on the clock.

    One second. One play. Once chance.
    New West quarterback Kinsale Philip dropped back, watching the blitz bear down from both sides, and lofted a high, arcing ball off his back foot as he was pounded into the turf.
    Senior Severio Asaba answered the prayer, leaping high between three defenders in the end zone, coming down with the ball — his only catch of the season — and pulling the Hyacks to within one.
    New Westminster coach Farhan Lalji, sensing the momentum and magnitude of the moment, opted to go for two, and senior Lucas Sabau obliged, punching in the game-winning points from five yards out to give the Hyacks their first triple-A title in school history.
    Game over. 15-14 New West.

    A good ole boy gets hired as an offensive coordinator in the CIS? Does that still make Marcel a good ole boy?
    Chad Kelly + Dan Adeboboye + David Ungerer + Damonte Coxie + DaVaris Daniels + Dejon Brissett = Unstoppable Force

    Recycled; plus almost guaranteed Bell-fool will run standard, same-old look offence that is a feature of the CFL now.

    SO - yes a GOB for CIS ball.

    Below two UBC players, OL Dakota Shepley and WR William Watson, who performed well at the National Combine, discuss how the university helped them develop into top players.

    At 6’5 and 290 pounds, Shepley is considered one of the top offensive linemen in what is considered yet another deep draft for the position. Although these evaluations are common practice, the native of Windsor, Ontario admits it is a little bit of a different beast when you’re doing it live in front of the brass from all nine CFL clubs.
    “I’m generally a pretty chill guy and don’t let anything get to my head. I just treat it like anything else and don’t stress about it,” Shepley said after running the 40-yard dash and three-cone drill on Saturday. ...


    Committing to UBC proved to be a wise choice for the 2017 Canada West All-Star. In his four years at the Point Grey campus, Shepley started all but one game and was a key member of the unit that protected quarterback Michael O’Connor in the Hardy Cup, Uteck Bowl and Vanier Cup journeys that 2015 provided.
    “I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for my UBC family,” he said.
    “It was coach (Sean) Olson who recruited me and Coach (Blake) Nill who developed me into the player that I am now. I had never visited the west coast prior to my recruiting trip. I went out there with my Dad and as soon as I arrived, I knew I wanted to go there based on the academics at the school. The program wasn’t the best then but they had faith in me, I had faith in them and the rest is history after that.”
    Shepley made his mark later Saturday evening by winning the bench press competition with 27 reps at 225 pounds. He will look to take that momentum into Sunday afternoon’s one-on-one drills. ...


    Watson, a wide receiver and product of Semiahmoo Secondary in South Surrey, has a little bit more to prove after missing all but three games in 2017 due to a nagging groin injury. He is one of three prospects that advanced from Thursday’s Western Regional Combine.
    “I performed a bit better there than I have here so far,” Watson explained. "This whole process has just been a great experience, just an awesome time.”
    In two previous seasons prior to the injury, Watson racked up over 1,000 yards receiving and had eight touchdowns. He was also a contributor on special teams, returning five kicks for 90 yards. He also acknowledged the combine is best treated as another game situation. Just like when we go play, I try to block out all of the noise,” he added.
    “Being able to win at UBC has definitely helped me prepare for this and have some extra competitiveness under my belt. I’ve seen a lot of these guys at the East-West game and of them even throughout playoffs in 2015. I want to elevate my game and make the opponents around me elevate theirs as well.”

    HC Kevin MacNeil is leaving the Guelph Gryphons under circumstances where it looks like he was pushed out.

    “Kevin MacNeill is leaving the University of Guelph as head coach of the football program to explore other opportunities,” read the post on the Gryphons.ca web site. ...
    Offensive coordinator Todd Galloway will take over as interim head coach.Director of Athletics Scott McRoberts told GuelphToday that there was not really much more to say than what was in the official school statement on their web site.
    He could not elaborate on whether MacNeill left, was fired or if it was mutual.
    "It's just part of the process and part of sports," McRoberts said. "But I can assure you the team is in very good hands with Todd."
    McRoberts said the school would be conducting a full search for a new head coach following the 2018 seasons. Galloway would certainly be considered for that position, he added....

    MacNeil was named head coach of the team in Dec. 2016 after serving as interim head coach for one year. In total he spent two seasons running the team, compiling an overall 8-8 regular season record. Prior to being head coach he served as the team’s defensive coordinator for seven seasons.

    Not mentioned there - Waterloo receiver Tyler Ternowski puts up a an 11 catch / 289 yards / 4 TD game against Windsor = eye popping #s; i believe he is a 3rd year player - this might put him on the watch list for the 2020 CFL draft ? Ternowski led the CIS in receiving yards per game last season.

    Same teams as every year make up the best of the best. That's the unfortunate thing about Usport football. There is a lack of parity. AUS really needs to merge with Quebec. Ridiculous that they get an automatic bid into the national semis when they haven't been competitive in years.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    Yeah - the AUS being weak and getting into the national semis is not good / does not seem fair.

    A lot of stuff in sports can be like that though. i find it a bit of a joke that the CFL 1st place finisher in each division only has to play one play-off game to get to the GC. SO - make 8 teams qualify for the play-offs, and team has to win both a division semi and the final to get to the GC game. And tough $hite if some are going to moan about 8 teams making the play-offs - a more competitive play-off and earning your way to the National Championship makes up for that IMO, and fans get the bonus of 2 extra play-off games. A CIS team can NOT win just one play-off game and get to go to the National final. Just like it can't happen in the NFL either.

    Ternowksi continues to tear up CIS ball in receiving - averaging over 170 yards/game and already 8 TDs. Gotta guess that is all-time record pace #s; and Waterloo - led by him and young QB Tre Ford (excellent running QB as well) just upset top ranked Laurier. Nice to see another team on the rise to challenge traditional Conference powers.

    A couple of other top CIS receivers - who will be up next CFL draft - are having fantastic seasons so far as well: Kurleigh Gittens (Laurier) is averaging 150 yds/game, and Hunter Karl (Calgary) is at 120 some yards/ game with an eye popping 26+ yards/catch average.

    Congratulations to Western on their victory over York on the weekend. Sarcasm. ..this type of issue has to be corrected. I won't go to a CIS football game until the playoffs when I am pretty much guaranteed a close, watchable contest.

    Pretty amazing that Waterloo can turn their program around as quickly as they have. When you see that, there is no excuse for York and UofT to do so. York has a great QB in Hunchak, but for some reason they can never put enough around him to be competitive.
    It's us vs the rest of the country
