GAITERS FOOTBALL PREPARES TO HOST 65 STUDENT-ATHLETES
February 13, 2009
LENNOXVILLE - Bishop's
Gaiters head football coach Leroy Blugh is pleased to announce that the Gaiters
will welcome approximately 65 student-athletes from Ontario, Quebec and
the Maritimes to
Lennoxville today for the ninth annual Purple and Silver weekend.
The
Purple and Silver weekend allows the Gaiters’ top recruiting prospects a
tremendous opportunity to live the “Bishop’s Experience.” The prospects
will attend the Purple and Silver Dinner tonight, followed by tours of
campus and meetings with coaches with faculty on Saturday. The weekend
concludes with the prospects
attending the Gaiters’ basketball doubleheader against Concordia, where
they will experience the outstanding fan support that continues to make Bishop’s
famous.
The weekend is intended to give
invitees a sense of what awaits them at Bishop's should they choose to
play for the Gaiters this fall.
Meanwhile, the current
Gaiters took the field this week for the first of ten on-field
winter practices. The sessions at the Centre Multi-Sport Roland-Dussault
in Fleurimont will continue on Monday and Wednesday afternoons
until March 18, save for a break for Reading Week (March 2-6). |
