Football bites the dust
After an eight-week season, the York Lions men’s football team will be hanging up their jerseys for the year after their 52-14 loss in Kingston against the Queen’s Gaels.
After an eight-week season, the York Lions men’s football team will be hanging up their jerseys for the year after their 52-14 loss in Kingston against the Queen’s Gaels.
Seven consecutive wins in two weeks, nine shutouts in the whole season and now four straight Ontario University Athletics (OUA) West division titles – it was just a matter of time before York’s men’s soccer team made it to the playoffs.

The job market today is not what it used to be. With so many rampant company closures, it is very difficult to be gainfully employed.
Whether you like the man or not, you have to admit it: Dion Phaneuf has swagger.
If you keep your eyes open, you just might catch a glimpse of the six-foot-three 214-pound hockey player here in Toronto, strutting around with the same confidence he consistently exudes on-ice. He is the walking, talking definition of what Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke calls “pugnacity, testosterone, truculence and belligerence” and he reminds us every time we see him at the rink. What makes Phaneuf an excellent example of Canadian athleticism, though, is not his swagger or his ability to excite, but his ability to persevere and overcome, making him a Canadian icon and a hero to many.
