2006 OUTLOOK

OUTLOOK

2006 GOLDEN HAWK OUTLOOK Last season’s senior laden Golden Hawk roster was perfect. They finished the OUA season a perfect 8-0. They won the Yates Cup after defeating bitter rivals McMaster in the semi-finals and the hated Western Mustangs at home in front of record-breaking raucous crowds. They went into hostile territory in Halifax, and handled the Acadia Axemen with ease. Then, on December 3, 2006, Brian Devlin kicked a 32-yard field goal, with just 19 seconds left on the clock, to seal a 24-23 victory over the Saskatchewan Huskies, and their second ever National Championship.

ing for some time at the helm as well as Vince Luciani (true freshman).

Running Backs Losing both Nick Cameron and Bryon Hickey this offseason will be difficult for the Hawks to overcome. Luckily, Coach Jeffries has a plethora of talent in the backfield. Ryan Lynch is the top candidate for the job. His 265 rushing yards were good for second on the team. Combine that with an outstanding 6.8 yards per carry, and you have the makings of a top flight back. Oakville native Steve Turner and top recruit from one year ago, Peter Quinney, will also get their fair share of touches and compete for a starting job. Look for Coach Pyear to use all three backs in this season’s offense.

There is also a trio of recruits who may challenge the veterans for a dress spot. Andrew Zadorsky, Jim Martyniuk and Mike Montoya all have great potential. Their performance in training camp will go a long way in determining spots on the team.

This year’s squad is far from as experienced as last seasons. The club will have to endure a number of losses to key personnel; Ian Logan. Bryon Hickey. Nick Cameron.

Joel Wright. Ryan Pyear. Despite the high turnover this season (11 returning starters, 13 departing), there is lots of optimism for the future. Young Guns Vince Luciani and Ian Noble will compete at quarterback with veteran Jamie Partington. Andy Baechler and Dante Luciani, both key components to last season’s run are back at wide receiver. And almost the entire linebacking core has returned; with the likes of Justin Phillips, Yannick Carter and Jesse Alexander.

The Hawks are looking to become only the fifth team in CIS history to win back to back National Championships – their place in the history books rests on the shoulders of this very young groups of Golden Hawks.

Receivers Leading receiver Andy Baechler is back for another season. Although he saw a decline in receptions (17 from 27), receiving yards (382 from 624) and touchdowns (4 from 6), he still led the team in yards and was tied for second on the team in total touchdowns.

He is joined by Dante Luciani, who converted from quarterback to wide out last year seamlessly.

Baechler and Luciani will make a formidable one-two punch for the Hawks and their youthful offense.

Watch out for Josh Duru and Victor Webster this season. Only Duru saw the field last season, however, both have great skill sets and should complete for a jersey on game day. Add into the mix a recruiting class that consists of Josh Bishop, Dustin Heap and Taureen Allen and you have a wide open position, loaded with potential.

OFFENSE 5 Returning Starters (Andy Baecher WR, Dante Luciani WR, Kyle Weston OT, Andrew Dietrich C, Scott Evans OT) – 7 Starters Lost (Ryan Pyear, QB, Nick Cameron RB, Bryon Hickey RB, Andrew Agro WR, Mike Maurice WR, Mitch Zappitelli OG, Erkki Salo OG) Scoring in Stefan Ptaszek’s offensive scheme had never been an issue. The Hawks are coming off their second straight season of averaging over 40 points per game. With Ptaszek now moving on to coach Mac, his quarterback protégé, Ryan Pyear, takes over the reins. How he runs the spread offense will be one of the major storylines to watch from this year’s Hawks.

Quarterbacks Ryan Pyear put together one of the most complete seasons in Golden Hawk history. His place is solidified, right next to Bill Kubas as the greatest quarterbacks to ever wear purple and gold. 1,666 passing yards, 116 completions, 19 touchdowns and only 4 interceptions. Those are big shoes to fill for anyone. Former backup Jamie Partington has watched Pyear compete for five seasons and now will look to lead the Hawks as they start the 2006 campaign. Behind him red-shirted freshmen Ben Wilsack and Ian Noble are look-

Offensive Line Kyle Weston returns to anchor this season’s offensive line. The fifth year offensive tackle was outstanding for the Hawks in 2005, earning him a First-Team OUA AllStar recognition. Laurier will need more than just Weston to compete. They will need center Andrew Dietrich, who missed most of the second half of last season due to injury.

A healthy Dietrich and likes of a young bunch of linemen will go a long way in the Hawks protecting their young quarterback. This group includes Tyler Felber, Josh Golding, Jason Partridge and Adam Bestard. All four will compete for the final 3 starting positions. One player to watch for is Kyle Sanderson. He is a transfer from McMaster who played his first season on the offensive side of the ball in 2005, after spending much of his OUA career as a defensive lineman. Sanderson is entering his fifth season and should

tively. To ease the loss, Laurier recruits have brought in a talented group of DBs. Giancarlo Rapanaro, James Redner and Fraser Hoban may not crack the dress roster this season, however, the team looks to be solid for the future. Anchoring the group of defensive backs this season will be Jordan Van Horn. The rest of the group will be rounded out by Josh Maltin (injured most of 2005), Brent Hickey and Sophomores Vincent Flamia and Jahmeeks Beckford.

DEFENSE 6 Returning Starters (Dave Montoya DE, Brandon Keks DE, Justin Phillips LB, Jesse Alexander LB, Yannick Carter LB, Jordan Van Horn DB) – 6 Starters Lost (Kyle Armour DT, Adrian Houwer DT, Joel Wright DB, Jeff Smeaton DB, Bobby Kootstra DB, Ian Logan DB)

SPECIAL TEAMS

After allowing a mere 16.5 points per game in 2004, the Hawks improved on defense by only allowing 14.3 points per game last season. In total, the defense combined for 29 sacks, 12 interceptions, 7 forced fumbles and 3 touchdowns.

The entire linebacking core may be returning intact, however, the loss of half of their defensive line and 3 of their 5 defensive backs will be a challenge to overcome.

3 Returning Starters (Andy Baechler PR/KR, Dante Luciani PR/KR, Ryan Lynch KR) – 3 Starters Lost (Brian Devlin K/P, Ian Logan PR/KR, Joel Wright PR) Losing probably the greatest kicker in Laurier Football history will be difficult to overcome. Brain Devlin is the Golden Hawk career leader points, field goals and converts. While Logan and Wright will also be missed, having Baechler and Luciani return should shore up the return game.

Defensive Line Last season, the defensive line was one of the deepest positions for the Golden Hawks. This season, Coach Jeffries has to cope with the loss of both starting defensive tackles and team leaders, Kyle Armour and Adrian Houwer. Looking to fill the gaps will be Stephen Cormack, Joe Labenski and Andrew Flatt. On the ends, the team in strong with the return of Second-Team All-Canadian Brandon Keks and SecondTeam OUA All-Star David Montoya. Joining the two will be James Cranston, a young standout from last season, posting 7 tackles and 3 sacks. Rounding out the defensive line will be a Chima Ihekwoaba, a recruit from Burlington. Look for him to hold down a dress spot on the roster, if not a starting position along side Keks and Montoya.

Kicking Game Brain Devlin’s magical 2005 season won’t be one Golden Hawk fans will soon forget. He set a single season record with his 17 field goals, despite missing the first game of the season. He also kicked the now fabled 32-yard, Vanier Cup winning field goal. Waiting in the wings in 2005 was kicker Chris Mamo. If anyone would be able to prepare Mamo for the CIS game it is Devlin. The young kicker had to learn quickly last season as Devlin went down with an early season injury, causing him to miss the season opener. Mamo responded with 12 points on 2 field goals, 5 converts and a single.

Linebackers All of the big names from last season are back for another run at Vanier. Justin Phillips. Jesse Alexander. Yannick Carter.

Anthony Maggiacomo. Luke Pinder. These 5 will all combine to form the starting linebackers for the Golden Hawks. Last season, they all posted outstanding statistics.

Alexander led the team in tackles with 34. Carter had 4.5 sacks and a touchdown. Phillips, despite being injured for most of the season still had 12 tackles. While Maggiacomo and Pinder came into their own, finishing third and eighth respectively on the team in tackles. With the core of linebackers set, key recruit Karl McCartney may be the one to snag the final dress roster spot. He will likely be competing with last season’s top defensive recruit, Paul Hancock, a young linebacker from Calgary.

Defensive Backs For the second straight season, the Golden Hawk defensive is hit hardest in the defensive backfield. One season after losing Steve Frake and Conor Healey, the Hawks now say goodbye to First-Team OUA All-Star Joel Wright and First-Team AllCanadian Ian Logan. Each have secured roster spots on the Montreal Alouettes and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, respec-

Return Game Leading punt returner, Joel Wright is gone, however, Andy Baechler and Dante Luciani are back. Both had 97 return yards last season, good for a tie for second on the team. Leading kickoff returner, Ryan Lynch is also back. His impressive 20.8 yard average was second on the team to another returning player and fellow running back, Steve Turner (26.3 yard average). Also watch for Dillon Heap and Josh Duru to get a chance returning the ball this season.

OUTLOOK

OUA 2006 OPPONENTS Sept. 4 - Laurier at Guelph - 2:00 pm

Sept. 30 - Waterloo at Laurier - 2:00 pm Head Coach: Chris Triantafilou 2005 Record: 2-6 (9th in the OUA) Laurier All-Time Record vs. Waterloo: 33-14-1 Current streak: Laurier 3 wins Outlook for 2006: The Battle of Waterloo is always an exciting match as the two hometown rivals contest at University Stadium. Last season the two teams met for Laurier’s homecoming. The game was dominated on the ground as the Golden Hawks totaled 302 rushing yards, while the Waterloo Warriors put up 133 of their own. The Hawks went on to win the homecoming match in a convincing 49-4 win. This year in the 42nd edition of the Battle of Waterloo, the Warriors hope to have a better showing. Last season the Warriors finished 9th in the OUA with a 2-6 record. With about 30 promising freshman, the Warriors will look to mix younger faces with their veteran team. Quarterback Jon Morbey will lead the new offensive charge with help coming from All-Canadian tackle Chris Best and running back Travis Gellatly. Defensively the Warriors have the luxury of a returning front seven, who will work to improve their defence against the run and pressuring the quarterback more often. Leading the charge on defence will be corner Drew Haynes and ends Trevor Derreck and Darren Kisinger.

Sept. 9 - Ottawa at Laurier - 2:00 pm

Oct. 7 - Laurier at McMaster - 2:00 pm Head Coach: Stefan Ptaszek 2005 Record: 5-3 (4th in the OUA) Laurier All-Time Record vs. McMaster: 37-12-1 Current streak: Laurier 3 wins Outlook for 2006: The Laurier vs. McMaster matchup is one of the most highly anticipated games of the season. Something of a rivalry has developed between the two teams as they have been forced to meet in the playoffs in each of the past three seasons. Last season the teams met twice as the Hawks defeated the Marauders in the regular season in a close 33-26 win and again in the semi-finals in a convincing 43-21 win. The Hawks then advanced to the Yates Cup leaving behind the Marauders who had not missed a Yates Cup Championship since 1999.

This year the Marauders have been ranked 6th nationally in the preseason top 10 will look for retribution after acquiring new head coach and former WLU offensive coordinator Stefan Ptaszek. This football mastermind and former WLU and CFL receiver will look to improve McMaster’s offensive game with quarterback Adam Archibald and Jon Behie as the focal points. In seven games last year, Archibald averaged three touchdowns and 329 yards passing per game, both marks putting him atop the list of CIS quarterbacks. Meanwhile, Behie chalked up over 400 yards receiving, 900 yards passing, five touchdown passes, and nine touchdown receptions in only eight games. McMaster’s defensive line will also pose a threat with the return of powerful veterans.

Head Coach: Kyle Walters 2005 Record: 3-5 (7th in the OUA) Laurier All-Time Record vs. Guelph: 33-12 Current streak: Laurier 3 wins Outlook for 2006: The Golden Hawks travel to Guelph to meet the Gryphons for their 2006 season opener. Last season the Hawks faced the Gryphons in the last game of the regular season and capped off a perfect 8-0 record with a 47-26 victory. Guelph did not advance to the playoffs and finished off their season with a 3-5 record. This season the Gryphons hope to turn their game around with new head coach Kyle Walters, who served as Assistant Coach and Defensive Coordinator for the Gryphons for the past two seasons. The Gryphon offense will be led by second year quarterback Justin Dunk and dynamic receiver Dave McKoy. Fifth year receiver, Shane Bryans will be counted on for veteran leadership. Defensively, the Gryphons return 10 starters. Trevor Small stays on for a fifth year at free safety and will attempt to surpass his own Gryphon all-time interception mark of 17 picks. The Guelph Gryphons have not advanced beyond the first round of the playoffs for the past two seasons; they are looking to improve on that record this year.

Head Coach: Denis Piché 2005 Record: 6-2 (3rd in the OUA) Laurier All-Time Record vs. Ottawa: 9-7-1 Current streak: Laurier 4 wins Outlook for 2006: The Ottawa Gee Gee’s travel to Waterloo to meet the Golden Hawks for the 2006 home opener. Last season’s matchup between the two teams was intense as the Gee Gee’s kept the game close.

Despite poor weather conditions, Laurier came out on top with a 21-14 win. Ottawa advanced into last year’s semi-finals only to suffer a devastating overtime loss to the Western Mustangs. This year Ottawa looks for retribution in the league. The team has lost very few players and have been ranked 5th in the nation in the preseason top 10. With the return of impressive third year quarterback Joshua Sacobie, the Gee Gee’s offensive game should prove impressive. In his second year, Sacobie completed 144 passes for 2094 yards. The Ottawa Gee Gee’s are expected to be one of the more competitive teams in the league this season.

Sept. 16 - Laurier at York - 2:00 pm

Head Coach: Tom Gretes 2005 Record: 3-5 (8th in the OUA) Laurier All-Time Record vs. York: 29-5 Current streak: Laurier 3 wins Outlook for 2006: Last season the Hawks defeated the York Lions in a convincing 56-3 win. The Lions struggled throughout 2005 due to the season-ending knee injury of star running back Andre Durie in only their second game of the season. This year the football squad is optimistic after attracting one of their best recruiting classes in recent years. Home field will play a vital role in their season, as the Lions are set to host five games at York Stadium. The team did not advance to the post-season last year but looks to return in 2006, without the services of injured running back Andre Durie, who will assume the duties of running back coach while rehabbing his leg. Fifth-year tailback Pearce Akpata will handle the Lion’s share of the running game after finishing 2005 with 99 yards on 16 carries. On defence, the team will have to fill the void left by York’s Male Athlete of the Year Ricky Foley, who led the team in tackles, after signing with the BC Lions.

Sept. 23 - Western at Laurier (Homecoming) - 2:00 pm

Oct. 14 - Toronto at Laurier - 2:00 pm Head Coach: Steve Howlett 2005 Record: 0-10 (10th in the OUA) Laurier All-Time Record vs. Toronto: 24-13 Current streak: Laurier 8 wins Outlook for 2006: The Toronto Varsity Blues and the Laurier Golden Hawks will meet for the first time in two years. The two teams last met in the 2004 season opener where the Golden Hawks devastated the Blues in a 67-0 shutout. Toronto remained winless for the remainder of the 2004 season and again throughout the entire 2005 season. The Blues hope to build on the positive experiences from 2005 as they continue their return to winning form. Graduation has left the team mostly unscathed, so a talented and experienced group of veterans remains to complement a promising recruiting class.

Coach: Larry Haylor 2005 Record: 6-2 (2nd in the OUA) Laurier All-Time Record vs. Western: 18-35-0-1 Current streak: Laurier 2 wins Outlook for 2006: This Homecoming battle between the Western Mustangs and the Golden Hawks is a rematch of the 2005 Yates Cup Championship. Last season, the Hawks defeated the Mustangs twice with a 32-17 win in the regular season and a convincing 29-11 win in the Yates Cup. This season the two teams meet again under somewhat different circumstances. Both the Hawks and the Mustangs have lost key veterans. With the departure of the record-setting wide receiver Andy Fantuz to the Saskatchewan Roughriders and defensive back Leron Mitchell to the Toronto Argonauts, the Mustangs will look to all-star running back Randy McAuley and former University of Toledo transfer quarterback Michael Faulds, along with East-West Bowl defensive stalwarts Tom Dolezel, Matt Carapella and Nick Kordic to lead the way in 2006.

Western has acquired a new offensive coach, former Hamilton Tigercat and McMaster Marauder head coach Greg Marshall. Marshall should help improve their already impressive offense and will replace current head coach Larry Haylor at the close of this season. Western has been ranked 10th in the nation in the preseason top 10 and should prove to yet again be a threat in the OUA with their notable recruiting class.

10

Oct. 21 - Laurier at Windsor - 2:00 pm Head Coach: Mike Morencie 2005 Record: 4-4 (5th in the OUA) Laurier All-Time Record vs. Windsor: 31-10-2 Current streak: Laurier 3 wins Outlook for 2006: The regular season will come to a close for the Golden Hawks as they travel to Windsor to face the Lancers. Last year the two teams met in the second game of the season where the Hawks defeated the Lancers 47-24. Windsor finished their regular season with a 4-4 record but was defeated in their quarter-final playoff match against the McMaster Marauders. Coach Mike Morencie’s squad will return 21 of 24 starters from 2005. The key departure for the Lancers is standout receiver and two-time CIS First Team All-Canadian Arjei Franklin.

Franklin was taken 19th overall in the CFL Draft by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. On offense, the focus for the upcoming season continues to be on Daryl Stephenson, the 2005 CIS Rushing Leader with 1,306 yards and a First-Team All-Canadian. The Lancer defense will be anchored by veterans Alan Weekes at tackle, Billy Moysiuk at linebacker, and Sasha Glavic at defensive back.

HEAD COACH AND MANAGER OF FOOTBALL OPERATIONS

GARY JEFFRIES

MANAGER OF FOOTBALL OPERATIONS AND HEAD COACH

Gary Jeffries enters his 29th season as part of the Golden Hawk football coaching staff.

It was not until 1970 that Gary would find his home at Wilfrid Laurier University. He played football for 2 years from 1970-1971 and was named an All-Star Defensive Half-Back and Rookie of the Year. After his career at Laurier he was drafted by the Toronto Argonauts in 1972 and in 1973 he signed with the Hamilton TigerCats but did not report. Coach Jeffries also played four years in the Detroit Tiger organization prior to beginning his career at WLU. In 1973 he was hired at WLU as an assistant football coach and recreation director. From 1984-1988 Jeffries was also the women’s basketball coach at WLU. In 1989 he took a break from football and coached the men’s basketball team until 1996. In 1994 Rick Zmich convinced Jeffries to return to the game which he loves so much.

Gary has coached 28 football seasons at WLU, with 17 as Defensive Coordinator. He was named the interim head coach midway through the ’02 season and was named the full time head coach in 2003. He has coached in 18 Yates Cups including championship victories in the 1978, 1987, 2004 and 2005 seasons.

Since taking over at the helm of the Hawks, the team has gone 30-3-1 including victories in two Yates Cups (2004, 2005), one Uteck Bowl (2005), and one Vanier Cup (2005). The Golden Hawks defeated the Saskatchewan Huskies in last year’s Vanier Cup to cap off the ‘05 season with a perfect 12-0 record. Coach Jeffries has coached over 700 games in total for WLU (both football and basketball), and his passion for WLU sport remains undying.

Gary resides in Southampton in the off-season with his girlfriend Jill. He has four children, Jonathan, Jodie, Jaime, and Ryan, and five beautiful grandchildren.

Richardson Stadium had 7,500 people attended the home opener for the Gaels. Queen’s had trouble from the beginning of the game as they were unable to stop Laurier’s first drive of the game consisting of 12 plays and 72 yards culminating in Bryon Hickey’s 2-yard run for a toucImage 1 from Hawks Blank Gaels in Season Opener with 45-0 winhdown.

There was no looking back as the Golden Hawks led by 18-0 at the half, and 34-0 after 45 minutes.

Manager of Football Operations and Head Coach Gary Jeffries was pleased with the team’s start. “We came out on the first drive of the game and marched down the field and scored ... and anytime you can start the season like that your confidence grows.”

The win marks the 10th consecutive regular-season win for Laurier, which kept a perfect 8-0 record in 2004. The Hawks haven’t lost in regular-season action since a 26-23 setback against Queen’s on Oct. 11, 2003.

Pyear, the 5th year Quarterback scored one of the touchdowns on his own as he snuck into the endzone with a 1-yard run. The Belleville native wasn’t too overwealmed with the pressure after coming off of a championship season last year. “I was a little anxious, but it all came back to me as soon as I stepped onto the field. The team pulled the win together quite well.”

Laurier netted a total of 484 yards of offence, breaking up the passing and rushing game quite well. The Gaels were only able to gain 223 yards on the match.

It was the second straight year the Golden Hawks defeated the Windsor Lancers at home in Week 2 of the season – this time it was in front of a mostly frosh crowd of 4,454.

Ryan Pyear quietly put together a strong game completing 64% if his passes, connecting on 4 touchdowns for over 216 yards in just 3 quarters of work before giving way to sophomore QB Dante Luciani.

Windsor’s Justin Nolan stunned the home crowd 3 minutes into the game as he picked off a RyaImage 1 from Three Touchdowns for Wright & Cameron as Hawks Continue Unbeaten Streakn Pyear pass intended for Andrew Agro and ran it back the remaining 40 yards to put the Lancers up by 7. However, the lead didn’t last long. Joel Wright answered back 2 minutes later with a spectacular catch in the endzone.

He followed that up with another 15 yard touchdown in the second quarter putting the Hawks up 15-10 and giving them the lead for good. Wright finished the game with 5 catches (3 of them for touchdowns) and 125 yards.

Lost amidst the impressive offensive performances was the game played on the defensive front. The Hawks held the Lancers to only 253 yards of total offense; an average of just 4.7 yards per play. Windsor quarterback Jon Dent was scrambling all night as the defence complied 5 sacks, 5 knockdowns and 1 interception. Dent finished the game 13 for 25 for 205 yards and 1 touchdown.

“We played strong on all aspects tonight – offense, defence and special teams,” said Head Coach and Manager of Football Operations Gary Jeffries. “I’m really proud of our guys for keeping their cool on the field. Last week (against Queen’s) we found ourselves running into penalty trouble; this week we were much better.”

In the second and third quarters Nick Cameron took control as he scored the Hawks next three touchdowns. The first one coming on a 40 yard dash down the sideline; the second on a 23 yard pass from quarterback Ryan Image 2 from Three Touchdowns for Wright & Cameron as Hawks Continue Unbeaten StreakPyear; and the third on another 25 yard rush right up the middle. He finished the game with 141 rushing yards on 15 carries and 2 receptions for 39 yards.

“It’s not about personal accomplishments,” said Cameron following the game. “Every game we play, someone different steps up and has a big day,” he continued. “What matters is that we won, and we can start preparing for our the game next week against Ottawa.”

The victory is Laurier’s 12th consecutive regular season win, (30) and keeps them at the top of provincial standings, alongside Western as the two undefeated schools.

Wright had difficulty on the point-after, scrambled and threw to teammate Bryon Hickey of Burlington for a two-point conversion.

“We’re extremely happy to leave Ottawa with the ‘W’,” said Manager of Football OpImage 1 from Hawks Win Spoils Ottawa Homecomingerations and head coach Gary Jeffries. “It was a real character performance … the team fought hard and never quit against a good Ottawa squad.”

Brian Devlin of Sarnia, kicked field goals of 32 and 31 yards.

Defensively, the Hawks and Gee Gee’s both displayed strong efforts. Laurier’s Brandon Keks of Coquitlam, BC picked up two-sacks on Sacobie. Justin Phillips of Stittsville had five tackles and an assist while Jeff Smeaton of Brantford had the only interception of the day, returning it for 12 yards.

Players of the game for the Hawks were Ryan Pyear, Justin Phillips and Justin Van Horn.

After exchanging rouges and McMaster conceding a safety, Laurier’s lead grew to 26-19. With 5 minutes left, Laurier was faced with a crucial 2nd and 10, which was promptly converted on a 24 yard pass by Pyear to wide out Joel Wright. A minute and a half later, Andrew Agro was in the end zone catching a 6 yard corner route from Pyear, putting the Hawks up by 2 scores and the game out of reach.

It was Laurier’s second home game of the season, in front of an impressive 3,323 fans at University Stadium. It also extended their OUA regular season winning steak to 13 games.

“That’s what’s so great about our receivers – we have so many great guys, it’s tough for teams to scheme against us,” said Agro, who caught just his first touchdown of the season, and more than double his reception and yards totals – finishing the game with 6 receptions for 71 yards and the touchdown. “It’s tough playing against a team like Mac. They have such great depth, especially on defense – this was a huge win for us.”

Despite the win, the HaImage 1 from Hawks trump Mac in Yates Cup Rematchwks played a sloppy game. Wifrid Laurier led most of the game, but couldn’t seem to put Mac away. They struggled in the red zone only converting one of their attempts into a touchdown. “A win is a win,” said quarterback Ryan Pyear after the game. “We know what we have to work on and we’re going to start preparing for Homecoming against Waterloo next week.”

Ryan Pyear quietly threw for 306 yards on 19 of 31 attempts. His counterpart, Jon Behie finished 20 for 42 for 352 yards and 1 touchdown, despite playing with what McMaster was calling a sore shoulder.

Nick Cameron put the Hawks ahead 8-3 with a goal line score in the second quarter. It was the lone rushing highlight for Laurier, on a day where they only rushed for a total of 88 yards against a tough Mac defensive line.

The third quarter started with a 32 yard Jahmeeks Beckford interception touchdown, putting the Hawks on top 23-4 entering halftime. It seemed as if the game was in hand at that point, but McMaster wasn’t going away – running back Jordan Kozina was about to bring them back.

Kozina entered this season in the shadow of former Marauder Jesse Lumsden. However, he cracked the Laurier defeImage 2 from Hawks trump Mac in Yates Cup Rematchnse in this game, something Lumsden wasn’t able to do against the Hawks last season.

The second half gave fans a chance to watch some of the young Hawks in action – future starters like quarterback Dante Luciani, running back Ryan Lynch and guard Jason Partridge took over on offense. While safety Shawn Ashe, linebacker Luke Pinder and defensive end James Cranston led the defense in the second half. “It was important to get these some of the younger boys some playing time as they develop in our program,” said Coach Jeffries.

Waterloo, ON – The Golden Hawks offense turned in an impressive 513 yards of total offense as they won this year’s edition of the Battle of Waterloo, 49-4.

A season high 6,178 fans turned out for Laurier’s Homecoming Weekend to watch the 41st regular season edition of ‘The Battle of Waterloo’ at University Stadium.

The win gives the Hawks a 30-10-1 all-time regular season record against the Warriors, and extended their OUA regular season winning steak to 14 games. “We’re Image 1 from Hawks Dominate Battle of Waterloovery pleased,” said Head Coach Gary Jeffries following the game. “It was a solid effort by all our boys today.”

The win was marred by a myriad of fumbles on both sides.

Each team fumbled 4 times, with the Hawks losing the ball 3 times and the Warriors losing it all 4 times. “That’s one aspect that we will have to improve before next week against Western,” Coach Jeffries remarked.

The game was dominated on the ground as the Hawks totaled 302 rushing yards, while the Warriors put up 133 of their own. Golden Hawk Running Backs Nick Cameron and Ryan Lynch led the way, each rushing for 125 and 99 respectively. “We’ve got to give all the credit to the O-line this game – I had all the time in needed in the pocket, and Nick (Cameron) and Ryan (Lynch) both put up big numbers this week,” said Hawk quarterback Ryan Pyear in praise of his offensive line.

Andy Baechler put the Hawks up 8-0, just 4 minutes into the game on 47 yard pass and catch from Pyear – the touchdown turned out to be the game winner, as Waterloo was only able to muster 4 points against the Laurier defense. Warrior quarterback Jon Morbey attempted to bring his team back on a spectacular 60 yard run – however, the drive only resulted in a field goal, and would be the last points Waterloo would score until the end of the third quarter.

Pyear connected with Andrew Agro halfway through the first quarter and added a rushing TD before resting the second half. Pyear finished 8 for 13 for 127 yards and 2 touchdowns. Yannick Carter and Nick Cameron added scores in the first half as the teams went into the break with the Hawks dominating 41-3.

The Golden Hawks racked up 553 yards in a diverse set of play calling by Offensive Coordinator Stefan Ptaszek. The ground attack accounted for 315 of the yards while fifth year pivot Ryan Pyear of Belleville, Ont. connected for the remaining 223. Pyear finisheImage 1 from Western Suffers First Loss at Hands of Hawksd the game 15 of 21 for 223 yards and a touchdown and interception as he connected with seven receivers.

Norland’s Nick Cameron continues to lead the Hawks in yards as he racked up 176 yards over 27 carries, including two touchdowns. Andrew Baechler of Ayr, Ont. had two catches for 82 yards and seven yards on the ground on route to his two touchdowns.

“It’s especially great to come out of London with the ‘W’,” said Manager of Football Operations and Head Coach Gary Jeffries. “We have some areas that we need to keep improving... and we’ll do that. The next couple of weeks are the ones that are significant for us.”

“The offensive line controlled the game for us and helped us execute as well as we did today,” said Ptaszek. “Getting on the top of the mountain is tough, but staying there is even tougher… so we’ve got to work twice as hard in the upcoming games.”

Devlin, 27, surpassed the record of Jerry Gulyes set back in 1979 as the career scoring leader on the second point-aftertouchdown of the game. The 6-0, 175lb kicker entered the contest with 216 all-time points – just two shy of the record and moved within one on the first kick off the game – with an 80-yard boot for a single.

“It feels pretty good to pick up the record, but even better to get the win over Western,” said Devlin after the game.

“When you play on a good team, like ours has been over the past couple years, a lot of credit goes to the offence.”

“Hawks Defeat Lions 56-3 to go 7-0”

by Ari Grossman Waterloo, ON – Sarnia’s Brian Devlin scored 20 points and added his name to the top of Laurier record books in two more categories as the #3 ranked Laurier Golden Hawks defeated the York Lions 56-3 at University Stadium.

After the first touchdown in the game, Devlin beat Jerry Gulyes 1979 record of converts in a career of 92.

Devlin opened scoring in the game with a 29-yard field goal, and as a result tied the Laurier career field goal record set in 1988 by Steve Rainey (38). Image 1 from Hawks Defeat Lions 56-3 to go 7-0Later in the game, Devlin would put three more between the posts, including a 47-yarder, to claim his fourth Golden Hawk record of the season.

Ryan Pyear played up until the middle of the second and in that time, the Laurier pivot completed 8 of 10 for 121 yards and three touchdowns. Two of the receiving touchdowns went to Burlington’s Bryon Hickey – who has been quiet this season. Hickey caught four passes for a total of 57 yards.

Running Back Nick Cameron also picked up a major on the afternoon. The Norland native carried the ball 14 times for 114 yards before being relieved by Ryan Lynch.

Lynch carried the ball another nine times for 46 yards.

Scoring the remaining touchdowns for the Hawks was Jordan Van Horn, Joel Wright and Steve Turner.

York’s Bart Zemanek was pressured all afternoon by the Laurier defense, only completing 9 of 22 passes for 143 yards. The York running game didn’t exist as the team could only get a total of 18 yards by the LaurieImage 2 from Hawks Defeat Lions 56-3 to go 7-0r defense.

The Lions three points resulted on a Laurier conceded safety as well as a Steve Grochet missed field goal. This is the third game this season that the Hawks have not allowed a touchdown to be scored on them.

“Hawk Fooball Finishes Regular Season 8-0”

By Ari Grossman Guelph, ON – The Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks finished the 2005 regular football season perfect once again, defeating the Guelph Gryphons 47-26. The perfect season is only the second in Golden Hawk season, with the other taking place last season.

“Finishing undefeated for the second straight season feels great,” said Pyear. “Now we prepare for our real season, the post season.”

“We’re very proud of what we’ve accomplished thus far,” said Manager of Football Operations and Head Coach Gary Jeffries. “We do recognize there is still a lot of hard work to do to accomplish our post season goals.”

Devlin opened scoring for the Hawks with a 28 yard field goal, Cameron added his eleventh TD of the season only minutes later putting the Hawks up by 10. Andrew Oosterhuis scored Guelph’s first major of the game on a communication error by WLU’s punt returners. The purple and gold responded with 30 points through the following 17 minutes including two by Bryon Hickey.

Also scoring majors were Andrew Agro and Andrew Baechler.

Norland’s Nick Image 1 from Hawk Fooball Finishes Regular Season 8-0Cameron and Sarnia’s Brian Devlin also added their names to the Golden Hawk record books.

Running back Nick Cameron scored a touchdown in the game and later surpassed the 1,000 season yard mark.

The fifth year back is only the third athlete in Golden Hawk history to reach that mark. Cameron finished the game with 20 carries for 155 yards and a touchdown.

The Golden Hawks stopped Guelph’s rushing game, allowing only 26 yards on 14 carries. The Laurier defense also picked off QB Justin Dunk four times. Yannick Carter and Dave Montoya also put some pressure on the rookie starter, as they sacked him for a combined 4.5 times.

“It’s an honour to be listed among the best in Golden Hawk history,” said Cameron. “Rushing for 1000 yards isn’t something I could have done without the support of the offensive line. Those guys have played well this season.”

Laurier’s offense racked up 698 yards in the performance with a fairly even balance of rushing and passing over a total of 35 first downs. The Gryphons managed 14.

Brian Devlin added to his previous three Golden Hawk records moving his name to the top of the most field goals in the regular season. Devlin finished with 17, two more then Jerry Gulyes (1978) and Spiros Anatasakis (1991), the previous record holders.

Quarterback Ryan Pyear finished off his regular season with a five TDs. The fifth year Belleville native finished the Image 2 from Hawk Fooball Finishes Regular Season 8-0season with 19 TD passes. On the day the pivot was 19 for 28 performance for a total of 262 yards before backups Dante Luciani and Jamie Partington came in to finish off the game.

scores put the Hawks ahead 33-7, as fans began to filter out of the stadium with the game well in hand.

3,089 fans turned out in the rain, only to see a fairly slow first quarter. Both teams struggled to move the ball, each choosing to keep the ball on the ground for the most part.

Cameron was the catalyst for the Hawks, as he rushed for 86 yards in the first quarter, helping set up two Brian Devlin field goals to put the HImage 1 from Hawks Down Mac to Advance to Yatesawks up by six.

Despite all of the talk of the 500 yards of total offense put up by the Hawks, the defensive effort was just as important in the victory. McMaster quarterback Adam Archibald was feeling pressure all day. Yannick Carter had two sacks, while Bobby Kootstra had two interceptions, including one in the endzone and Gavin Cond had one. Archibald was forced into completing just 45% of his passes, despite still throwing for 346 yards. The defense also held running back Jordon Kozina off the score sheet, as he rushed for only 38 yards, while Mac as team could only muster a total of 57.

With McMaster running back Jordon Kozina going nowhere on the ground, quarterback Adam Archibald took to the air. He connected with former quarterback-turned-widereceiver Jon Behie three times on a 73 yard drive, capped off by a 40-yard reception, putting the Marauders ahead 7-6.

Behie finished the game as Archibald’s top target, making six catches for 165 yards and two touchdowns.

“We fell behind early in the game, and our offense was having trouble moving the ball,” said Head Coach Gary Jeffries. “But credit our guys, they fought back and played well despite the poor conditions.”

The Hawks began chipping away at the McMaster lead as two more Devlin field goals put the Hawks up by five and ahead for good. The clincher came at the end of the first half, when Hawk quarterback Ryan Pyear hit Dante Luciani for 37 yards, putting them on the Mac one-yard line. Cameron took it from there, finishing the half with 156 yards, one touchdown and Image 2 from Hawks Down Mac to Advance to Yatesa 19-7 lead.

Laurier continued to roll well into the second half, as Pyear began to hit his groove, hooking up with both Andy Baechler and Joel Wright in the span of five minutes. The

“Hawks Best in Ontario, Acadia Next”

by Matt De Faria Waterloo, ON - The #3 nationally ranked Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks successfully defended their Yates Cup Championship with a convincing 29-11 win over the #8 ranked Western Mustangs, in a game dominated by defense and penalties.

Nick Cameron sealed the deal in the third quarter with his third touchdown of the game on a short nine-yard burst up the middle, making the score 29-5. A late Ryan Clutterbuck touchdown proved to be too little too late for the Mustangs.

The win continues Laurier’s dominance over OUA opponents, running their current streak to 20 games.

It also means that Laurier will now travel to Halifax to play the #10 nationally ranked Acadia Axemen in the Uteck Bowl – the first meeting between these two teamImage 1 from Hawks Best in Ontario, Acadia Nexts in their histories.

The Laurier defense was simply outstanding. Down lineman David Montoya had five tackles and two big sacks. Linebackers Jesse Alexander, Gavin Cond and Anthony Maggiacomo were also big contributors. Alexander had four tackles, two sacks and a knockdown.

Maggiacomo sacked Faulds in the end-zone for a safety. However, Cond was all over the field with seven tackles, an interception, a blocked punt and a fumble recovery.

Hawk running back Nick Cameron lead Laurier’s #2 rushing attack with 167 yards on 23 carries and three touchdowns – good enough to earn him the Dalt White Trophy as the player of the game. For Western, they failed to get their top ranked running game going, amassing only one yard on eight carries entering halftime, and finishing the game only 37 yards on the ground.

Penalties also played a big part in the game as both teams combined for 37 infractions (18 for Laurier, 19 for Western) over 301 yards.

Western opened the scoring with a conceded safety just one minute into the game. However, the lead didn’t last long. After exchanging field goals before the second quarter, OUA First-Team All-Star Nick Cameron showed why he was the player of the game, breaking off a 55-yard run for six, and then going up the gut with a one yard plunge to put the Hawks ahead for good, 19-5.

Not only did Mustang rushers Randy McAuley, Jay AkindImage 2 from Hawks Best in Ontario, Acadia Nextilore and Donnovan Bennett struggle on the ground, but quarterback Michael Faulds had trouble moving the ball in the air in the first quarter. Faulds

“Hawks Win National Semi-Final”

by Ari Grossman

While the offense put the points on the board, Laurier’s defense forced seven Axemen turnovers. Gavin Cond, of Sault Ste Marie, Ont., who was questionably starting at the beginning of the game, made 11 tackles had a forced fumble and one of Laurier’s four interceptions.

The other three were made by Joel Wright, Bobby Kootstra and Jesse Alexander.

HALIFAX – After a fourteen-year hiatus from the national championship, the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks are making their second appearance at the Desjardins Vanier Cup following a 31-10 victory in the Uteck Bowl over the Acadia Axemen.

Acadia’s Chris Judd was just over 50% in completions with 19 of 35. The lone touchdown came from Ivan Birungi on a 34-yard pass. In total, Acadia’s net offense was 373 with only 79 yards on the ground.

The nationally #2 ranked Golden Hawks have not seen the National Finals since 1991, when they defeated Mount Allison 25-18. The Hawks have attended the Uteck (formerly known as the Churchill Bowl) four times previous to this appearance, only once pulliImage 1 from Hawks Win National Semi-Finalng out the victory, again in 1991. Prior to 1973, Laurier made three Vanier Cup appearances as Waterloo Lutheran.

Hickey finished the game with only three receptions – all for touchdowns, for a total of 104 yards. First team OUA all-star Nick Cameron carried the ball 20 times for 97 yards in the offensive attack totaling 463 yards.

“We were as good as we’ve been in all three parts of the game,” said Manager of Football Operations and Head Coach Gary Jeffries. “The offense, defense and special teams came together and had their best performance of the season.”

Ryan Pyear was named the Player of the Game for the National semi-final, as he finished completing 15 of 20 for a total of 329 yards. The Belleville native passed for all four Laurier touchdowns, including three of which to Burlington’s Bryon Hickey.

“We had a good game,” said Pyear. “The defense came up big when we needed it to. Our job isn’t done yet, we’ve still got one game to go.”

Acadia opened scoring with a 19-yard field goal fourminutes into the first, Laurier responded less than a minute later with a 70 yard Pyear pass to Hickey and there was no looking back for the Hawks. Hickey scored his Image 2 from Hawks Win National SemiFinalsecond at the end of the second quarter and then kicker Brian Devlin of Sarnia put a field goal through the uprights to make the score 17-3 at the half. Hickey and Burlington’s Dante Luciani scored the remaining Golden Hawk touchdowns.

On the subsequent drive, the Hawks answered with an 11 play, 45 yard drive, capped of by 10 yard pass from Ryan Pyear to Bryon Hickey, pulling the Hawks to 23-21, after a two point conversion failed.

Hamilton, ON - With just 19 seconds left on the clock, Brian Devlin connected on a 32-yard field goal, giving the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks a 24-23 win over the Saskatchewan Huskies and their second ever National Title.

The defense held the Huskies the rest of the way, and the Hawk offense found themselves with great filed position and a chance to win the game. On a crucial third down and 16, Ryan Pyear, who has been clutch all season found Dante Luciani over the middle – one yard past the first down marker.

The game was played in front of 16,827 fans at Ivor Wynne Stadium in Hamilton. The majority of the raucous crowd clad in Purple and Gold. Golden Hawks supporters didn’t leave disappointed, as the Hawks became only the 10th team in Canadian University history to finisImage 1 from Golden Season, Golden Finishh a season undefeated (12-0).

“What a fantastic way for the seniors to end their careers,” said Pyear. “This is a dream come true. To think that only three years ago we were 1-7, this is simply unbelievable.”

“I am so proud of these guys,” said Hawks Head Coach and Manager of Football Operations Gary Jeffries. “We said all season that after last year’s loss in the Uteck Bowl our only goal was to win the Vanier Cup, and we made it happen.”

Pyear, a First-Team All-Canadian, ended his Laurier career in storybook fashion. Just last week he was named MVP of the Uteck Bowl and today he was named as the winner of the Ted Morris Trophy as MVP; finishing 20 for 30 over 254 yards and three touchdowns.

“These guys showed so much character,” continued Jeffries.

“When we missed the two-point convert, we could have been down. But our defense stepped up once again, and we kept fighting.”

A few plays later, Brian Devlin hit the biggest field goal in Golden Hawk Football history.

Both team started out tentative, getting a feel for each other’s game, as a battle of the defenses produced an 8-7 score at halftime. However, that was short-lived as both teams opened up their offensive playbooks entering the third quarter.

Lost in all of the dramatics at the end of the game was the performance of the Hawk defense, which was reliable as usually. David Montoya led the way, playing an inspired game and being named as the winner of the Bruce Coulter Trophy winner as the defensive MVP. He finished with two tackles, one sack and one fumble recovery.

Laurier’s Nick Cameron and Saskatchewan’s David Stevens entered the game as the top two rushers in Canada and both had big games for their respective teams. Cameron gave the Hawks a 15-7 lead in the third, which was answered by a six yard run by Image 2 from Golden Season, Golden FinishStevens five minutes later. Following a failed two point attempt, the Hawks entered the final frame up 15-13.

A Braden Suchan field goal put the Dogs up by one and the set the stage for one of the most dramatic finishes in Vanier Cup history.

Who else, but the Canada West MVP, David Stevens, to lead the Huskies down the stretch. The Hawks were able to hold him until the seven minute mark when he busted an 85 yard run, giving Saskatchewan a 23-15 lead that looked almost insurmountable. Stevens finished with 240 yards from scrimmage and 3 touchdowns.

WILFRID LAURIER UNIVERSITY

HISTORY OF WILFRID LAURIER UNIVERSITY In 1910 the Canada Synod and Synod of Central Canada of the Lutheran Church entered into an agreement to establish a Lutheran Seminary. Though the location first proposed for the Seminary was Toronto, Waterloo was selected when its citizens offered a tract of land on the boundary of the town. The choice of location was affected, too, by the fact that the majority of Lutherans in Ontario lived in the vicinity of Waterloo and Berlin (Kitchener). In 1911 the Evangelical Lutheran Seminary of Canada opened its doors.

Facilities for pre-theological education were established in 1914 with courses leading to senior matriculation given in Waterloo College School.

In 1924 the Waterloo College of Arts, providing courses in post-secondary education in a four year program, was established. In 1925 the Faculty of Arts, under the name of Waterloo College, affiliated with the University of Western Ontario. Waterloo College soon began to offer Honours degree programs in the arts.

The affiliation with the University of Western Ontario ended in 1960 when the Seminary obtained a revised charter changing the name of the institution to Waterloo Lutheran University.

On November 1, 1973, Waterloo Lutheran University became Wilfrid Laurier University, one of Ontario’s provincially assisted universities after Bill 178 was given Royal Assent by the Lieutenant Governor, former Wilfrid Laurier University Chancellor William Ross Macdonald.

THE CITY OF WATERLOO The City of Waterloo is an exciting place to live. With its foundations solidly rooted in the past, a community oriented mindset and appropriate means to have a strong future; this city has something for everyone. Concerned with moving into the future with a strong sense of “community”, the Imagine Waterloo campaign is taking the city by storm. This is a proud community, determined to broaden the horizons and opportunities for all who reside here.

The college and universities promote the city with a good reputation, having a variety of jobs, economic growth and the ongoing influx of young people that continues to keep the city vibrant and dynamic. In a recent pole held within the community, the presence of the universities made the top five likes within the city.

Also included in the top five likes were the parks, especially Waterloo Park which is located with vehicle entrances off Albert Street, Westmount Road and Seagram Drive. Uptown Waterloo, (another top five) is conveniently located for the university students. With the reliable transit system or a good pair of walking shoes the shopping centers, grocery stores, bars and pubs are accessible to all.

The businesses in the area are appreciative of

Waterloo Park is accessible and friendly. Take a walk on the paths, lie in the grass or play a game of baseball.

This park has something for everyone.

the universities because they help the economy, provide students who are available for part time employment and they help draw people into the city. The entertainment factor within the city is very alive. Take a drive up to Conestoga Mall for some shopping or stop by the new Galaxy Theatres to see a flick.

The bar scene on University Avenue is the place to be in the evenings with choices of Fiasco’s, Loose Change, Molly Bloom’s and McGuiness.

Recreation in Waterloo is on the rise with the new addition of RIM Park located off University Avenue East. This new 500-acre recreational facility will house 18 outdoor playing fields and the first municipal 18-hole golf course. Also included is a Multi-Use Recreational facility which houses 4 Olympic size ice rinks, 2 double gymnasiums and much more. Closer in proximity to the universities is the Waterloo Recreation Complex, a facility that includes an Olympic size ice rink, indoor running track and a swimming pool…home of Golden Hawks hockey.

Waterloo is no doubt a great place to live. As a key center in Canada’s Technology Triangle, the place to go for a famous Oktoberfest sausage, or the place to study for a PhD or Mba Waterloo is the city of choice.

Everything you may need is a short walk from campus.

Banking, coffee shops, and restaurants are a few of the businesses that are downtown Waterloo.

DAVID MCMURRAY, DEAN OF STUDENTS

David McMurray is Assistant Vice-President Student Services and Dean of Students at Wilfrid Laurier University. He assumed this position July 1, 1997 after a career in student services at the University of Windsor. He has served as Chair of the Ontario Committee on Student Affairs, has been President of the Student Affairs and Services Association, serves on the faculty of the Canadian Institute on Student Affairs and Services and is currently the President of the Canadian College and University Student Services Association.

Born in Windsor, Ontario, David spent most of his early days growing up in Thunder Bay Ontario where he excelled in many sports including football, basketball, baseball, track, tennis, hockey and skiing. A severe knee injury ended his active participation in sport. “I had a very difficult time giving up the contact variety of athletics but was able to make the adjustment to aerobic activities like swimming and long distance biking which have become life long.”

Word has it he can handle the golf course pretty well too!

David’s interest in Golden Hawks football goes back to two games he fondly recalls in the mid-seventies. While at the University of Windsor he recalls an exceptional Lancer team

that beat the Hawks in Windsor by a score of 63 to 7. That was extraordinary but short lived as a Tuffy Knight thoroughly motivated Hawks squad returned the following year turning the tables on the Lancers with a 77-6 thrashing.

Since arriving at Laurier several years ago David is regularly seen in purple and gold. He not only never misses a game but has masterminded a strong strategy for the long-term success of Athletics and Recreation at Laurier. The keys to his strategy of “building champions” comes from investing in management, coaching, student athlete development, facilities, equipment, recruitment, program development, sponsorship and fundraising. The outcomes have been obvious in this short time and the Golden Hawks are in great shape for the future!
