CEGEP recruit to bring “competitive spirit” to Gee-Gees (VIDEO)

Saint Laurent offensive lineman joins OUA team’s 2016 class.

Piri Sinnathurai is set to begin his CIS career in the Nation’s Capital.

The 6’2, 270 pound offensive lineman from Saint Laurent, Quebec signed with the Ottawa Gee-Gees.  Sinnathurai will join the team for the 2016 OUA season.

Overall, the Gee-Gees provided the best combination of things that he was looking for in a future CIS school.

“The reason I chose Ottawa is because I felt it was the best fit for me regarding football and academics,” elaborated Sinnathurai.”Coach [Jamie] Barresi and Coach [Carl] Tolmie were very persistant and showed a lot of belief in my abilities.”

“As for the program, they have a really competive group of guys and I believe that I could bring my competive spirit and help make the team better any way I could. I am also excited in joining one of the top offences in the OUA last year, which seems to still be on the rise.”

Sinnathurai comes to the Gee-Gees after playing for CEGEP Division 2 team, John Abbott College Islanders.  He was named CEGEP Division 2 All-Star in 2015.

Previous to the Islanders, the offensive lineman suited up for Saint Laurent Spartans.
