Brampton Bears enter OFC


The Ontario Football Conference held its annual general meeting this weekend in Toronto.

The Brampton Bears have been accepted unanimously and will begin play in the junior division in 2010. The Bears are led by President Ian Smith [email protected] and Head Coach Mark Houlder [email protected]

An excerpt from the Bears mission statement: ‘The Brampton Football mission is to educate and introduce young men to the personal and community wide benefits associated with teamwork, discipline, respect and sacrifice.’

The Brampton Satellites (1975-1978) were the last OFC team from Brampton.

The 2010 OFC Executive is led by returning President Doug Dittmer. Paul Bartle is the Past President. The two Vice Presidents are Peter Downey and Mike Ramsay.

The 2010 OFC appointments are Secretary & Referee in Chief Bill Butcher, Treasurer Rob Annen, Registrar Gary Strong, Statistician Jim Stevenson and Media Coordinator Jack Emerson Low, all returnees from 2009.

Two new positions for 2010 are John Smyth as Medical Coordinator and Brian Copeland as a Member at Large. Brian’s main focus will be assisting new entries to the OFC as well as other special projects.

The 2010 OFC schedule will be released shortly.
