BRAMPTON, Ont. (April 11) — For the first time in several decades, there were eight teams represented at the 44th annual Sheridan Bruins Athletic Banquet as the men’s and women’s rugby teams joined their siblings from the basketball, soccer and volleyball teams. “This is always a very special evening,” athletic director Jim Flack said. “The way we started this night off, seeing just a huge group of student-athletes walk up to the stage as OCAA All-Academic winners, was tremendous.

Their weekend results only leave questions about where their crossover playoff game will take place and while there are many scenarios — depending on other results and the status of tie-breakers — the only certainty is that a win against Redeemer in their regular season finale secures fourth … Read more
