• The sprained ankle Queen's combination kicker Dan Village suffered vs. Toronto might keep him out of the season opener. Helllllooooo, Mike Petranovic! It just so happens Queen's opener is vs. Guelph, who has arguably the OUA's best kicker, Rob Maver (Western's Darryl Wheeler is pretty good, too). (Kingston Whig-Standard)
  
  
• The regional breakdown of the UFRC/CIS Top 10 is quite illuminating, especially where voters from Canada West have Queen's rated No. 5 and the voters back East rank them No. 9. (University Football Reporters of Canada)
  
  
• For those who didn't see it, the CIS Twitter will have quarter-by-quarter scores of all football games beginning with the McGill-Montréal game on Thursday.

Hockey

• It's been mentioned before, but the Edmonton Oilers likely will have Alberta grad Aaron Sorochan competing for a goaltending job in their system. (Faceoff.com)
