Football
  • Guard Kelly Bates (U of S Huskies) has been released by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers; Ryan Donnelly (McMaster) is now a starting O-lineman. (Winnipeg Sun, Winnipeg Free Press)

  • Victoria Rebels running back Andrew Harris would not play university football in order to get exposure for the 2011 CFL draft, if the B.C. Lions have any say. It is kind of good to get the other perspective on why some players opt to go the junior route. (Vancouver Sun)
Hockey
  • Saskatchewan coach Dave Adolph and Alberta's Eric Thurston spoke with Edmonton's TEAM 1260 on Wednesday night. (Team 1260)

  • Adding former Cape Breton Screaming Eagles captain Chris Culligan gives UNB a lot of players who have worn a letter on their sweaters. Speaking of the QMJHL, you owe to it yourself to see a game in Gatineau instead of going to the more conveniently located Ottawa Civic Centre all the time.

    Former STU Tommies d-man Mike Couch has signed with Gwinnett of the ECHL after an injury-shortened season. (Fredericton Daily Gleaner)

  • Not sure why a press release announcing tickets for the 2010 CIS Cavendish University Cup would play up lower prices and more flexibility (note the sarcasm).
Basketball
  • Dal transfer Ryan DeWinter will give Saint Mary's another scoring option to go along with their Joey Haywood-Mark McLaughlin backcourt, writes Mark Wacyk. (cishoops.ca)

  • The Fraser Valley Cascades have added two junior college transfers, point guard Zeon Gray and 6-foot-8 Australian forward James Elliott, who's from Perth (not the one near Ottawa). (ufv.ca, via cishoops.ca)

  • It's worth reiterating Canada West has re-aligned into a six-team West division (all the B.C. schools) and an eight-team East division (everone else) for basketball. Four East teams, three West teams and one wild card make the playoffs. For a refresher, see Tim Switzer's post from a few months back.

  1. It's a huge relief that Lakehead has learned from thier mistakes last year as far as ticketing of the University Cup. It was a huge disappointment to hear all the hype about CIS hockey in T Bay (big crowds, great fans), and then to go to Nationals and see so many empty seats for CIS hockey's biggest event. Good on them for making changes. The lack of a day pass last year was the biggest mistake and to see that rectified is good news.
