Golden Hawk alumni & friends of the football program,

We have decided to switch things up a little bit and have this football update and newsletter once a month in the offseason and weekly during the season. I’m sure you are all bombarded with countless emails in your lives and once a month still allows us to keep you just as informed in the Laurier football program. You can expect the newsletter now at the beginning of every month and like mentioned, once training camp begins in mid-August we will ramp things up to every week for the season.

It was a great week in Quebec City at the 2018 U SPORTS Valero East-West Bowl. This all-star game, which featured the top third-year players from across the country, had the West team win a close, defensive battle 15-14.

Unfortunately, running back Levondre Gordon suffered an injury on the testing day and couldn’t participate in the game. All other Golden Hawks, which included receiver Kurleigh Gittens Jr., offensive lineman Drew Mairleitner, defensive tackle Trevaughan James and defensive end Robbie Smith all played well.

Golden Hawk alumni & friends of the football program,

Our recruiting showcase #TakeFlight2018 was a success. A big thank you to emcee Dan Polischuk and live interviewer Jack Moore who made recruiting coordinator Dwayne Cameron and my job very easy.

Another thank you to all the parents and family members of the recruiting class that journeyed to campus, through an April snow storm, to attend. We had over 125 people at the event, which exceeded expectations.
