Two Ontario Varsity Football League (OVFL) senior teams from Toronto who both finished atop their respective divisions will see their first post season action this weekend after enjoying an opening round bye last weekend. The Scarborough-based Toronto Thunder host the Cumberland Panthers, tomorrow at 2 p.m. at Birchmount Stadium. The defending OVFL
champion Thunder finished up the regular season at 7-1 (the Cumberland Panthers were 7-2). And the North York-based Metro Toronto Wildcats host the Myers Riders this Sunday at 5:30 p.m. at Esther Shiner Stadium. The Wildcats finished up at 6-2 (while the Myers Riders were 6-3). Toronto also boasts a third team – the Etobicoke Eagles,
based out of Centennial Stadium, who missed the playoffs with a 3-5-1 record. The OVFL provides competition at three levels - varsity, junior and bantam. None of the three Toronto clubs advanced teams to the second round of the playoffs. In junior competition, the Metro Junior Wildcats (4-5) lost last weekend’s opening round playoff game 37-29 to
Myers (7-2). In bantam competition, the Toronto Thunder (4-5) were edged 20-14 by the Kingston Grenadiers (5-4). Denver Broncos The Toronto Thunder has three former players suiting up in the playoffs, all of whom also attended
Scarborough’s Birchmount Park Collegiate, who are competing for Canada in the London Olympics – sprinters Aaron Brown and Justyn and Ian Warner. Another alumni is Orlando Franklin who, as a right tackle on the Denver Broncos offensive line, is hoping to spend the upcoming NFL season protecting new signing Payton Manning
after spending last season protecting Tim Tebow. A Metro Toronto Wildcats alumni is Shawn Gore, a receiver with the defending Grey Cup champion B.C. Lions who carted in the trophy to his former Don Mills Collegiate high school this past spring. For more on the league, visit www.ovflontario.com
