May 2011 Update 05.11.11 To all Alumni and Friends of X-Men Football      Most, if not all of you, are aware by now that there is a lot of positive news to report right now regarding X-Men Football.  First and foremost, let me begin by congratulating Henoc Muamba, who was selected as the first overall pick in the CFL Draft. Henoc will be traveling to Winnipeg where he will commence what is sure to be a phenomenal professional football career. His outstanding athleticism aside, it is his work ethic and the passion that he brings to this game that will ultimately lead to his success. Henoc is the example that we want every member of this team, present and future, to follow.      Here is a list of articles you can visit to read more about Henoc and his accomplishments: http://www.cfl.ca/article/henoc-muamba-taken-first-overall-by-bombers http://www.goxgo.ca/news/2011/5/8/FB_0508110738.aspx http://thechronicleherald.ca/Sports/1242399.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXUaRdD8Xkg&feature=player_embedded        I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate our East-West Bowl participants. Dylan Hollohan, Colin Wicks, and Andrew Hickey all had great weeks of practice, and they all played well in the game. Their efforts helped lead the East Team to an overtime victory. They represented our school very well throughout the week, and certainly turned the heads of some CFL Scouts.      To give you a quick update on our team's progress, I can honestly say that we have had what I feel to be the best offseason of training in years. Coach Bob Chisholm has worked extremely hard at getting our young team bigger, stronger, and faster. We recently completed our Spring Camp, which was a great success. All of our players left for the summer with a great base to work from, and I am confident that they will continue to work hard over these summer months. We are all very excited for next fall.      And now, let me introduce to you a new group of committed recruits:   WR Damone Williams - 6'1", 170lbs Mississauga, Ontario - 2007-2008 St. Joan of Arc Best Offensive Player - 2008 Mississauga Warriors OVFL Jr. Varsity Best Offensive Player - 2008-2009 St. Joan of Arc Best Offensive Player - 2009 Mississauga Warriors OVFL Best Special Team Player - 2009-2010 St. Joan of Arc Most Valuable Player - 2010 Mississauga Warriors OVFL Most Valuable Player - 2010 OVFL Outstanding Player of the Year Award OL Daniel Lemaire - 6'7", 290lbs Ottawa, Ontario http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_Ls94yaiZM LB Corey Armstrong - 6'1", 220lbs Kanata, Ontario - Ottawa Sooners 2009 Special Teams MVP - Ottawa Sooners 2010 Team MVP - Ottawa Sooners Ironman - Member of 2010 CJFL OFC Finalist Ottawa Sooners - 2009 CJFL OFC Champions Ottawa Sooners - Under 17 Team Ontario - NCAFA Kanata Knights 3 time Champions - NCAFA All Star Game MVP http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOY0H208hIM DL Devon Marshall - 6'2", 260lbs Halifax, Nova Scotia - AUS Camp Defensive Lineman MVP - 2009-2010 Rookie of the Year (League & School) - Most Promising Athlete Award - First Team All Star  - Starting Defensive Lineman for Team Nova Scotia (2010 & 2011) DL Drew Garvie - 6'2", 265lbs Antigonish, NS DB Tanner Kennedy - 6'1", 180lbs Antigonish, NS LB James Menzies - 6'2", 190lbs Westmount, Quebec - Trinity College School Rookie of the Year - Trinity College School Athlete of the Year - Defensive MVP -CISAA All Star DB Shane Nolan - 5'8", 155lbs Ottawa, Ontario - 2010 CJFL All Canadian/Outstanding Defensive back - 2010 OFC All Star/Interceptions Leader - 2010 Team Awards: Top Graduating Player, Most Dedicated/Committed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iba-5JIjxQ WR Randy Roseway - 5'11, 160lbs Ottawa, Ontario - 2009 OVFL All-star WR (Myers Riders) - 2010 QJFL All-star WR (Myers Riders) - Member of the 2010 QJFL Championship Team (Junior Riders http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5XciRhuZyA FB Junior Peter - 6', 245lbs Ottawa, Ontario DL Kurtis Pankow - 5'11", 260lbs Perth, Ontario - Ottawa Myers Riders, 2010 Wettges Conference Champions - 2008-2010 Ottawa Valley/East Ontario All-Star - 2008 St. John CHS Defensive MVP - 4x St. John CHS Captain QB Cody Enman - 5'10", 175lbs Oshawa, Ontario - Grade 10,11,12, 12+ - Team MVP - Clarington Knights OMFL champions, Team MVP - GTA All-star - LOSSA MVP nomination - 2008 Jr. LOSSA Passing TD (21) and Yards Record - 2010 Eastdale Sr. Passing TD (14) and Yards Record - 2010 Sr. Clarington Knights Passing TD and Yards record http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWk9TZnbyFY RB Chris McCarthy - 5'10", 175lbs St. Lazare, Quebec http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeyeYu7E_PA&feature=fvst RB Clyde Gale - 5'10", 170lbs Antigonish, NS DB Chris Shibley - 6'1", 170lbs Kingston, Ontario http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCZIJGpzl2o OL Charles Range - 6'6", 290lbs Ottawa, Ontario Hail and Health,
