Gaiters Football prepares to host over 50 student-athletes
February 19, 2009
LENNOXVILLE - Bishop's
Gaiters head football coach Leroy Blugh is pleased to announce that the Gaiters
will welcome more than 50 student-athletes from Ontario, Quebec and
the Maritimes to
Lennoxville today for the tenth 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,” and get a
sneak peek into what would await them should they decide to choose play
for the Gaiters.
The prospects
will be welcomed by members of the current team, coaches and alumni at
the Purple and Silver Dinner tonight. This will be followed by tours of
campus and meetings with coaches and faculty on Saturday. The weekend
concludes with the prospects
attending the Gaiters’ basketball doubleheader against Concordia
tomorrow night, where
they will experience the outstanding fan support that makes Bishop's the
envy of schools many times its size.
The Gaiters are
currently in the midst of their winter on-field training sessions, with
the 2010 training camp is set to open on August 14. |
