There are many international players making their mark with rugby's current season. This listing includes seven Bay of Quinte-based products that made the grade.
The first round of this championship saw the Loyalist Lancers in action, as well the Kingston St. Lawrence Vikings. The Peterborough Fleming Knights were also present, as was the Oakville Sheridan Bruins. A few of the top names are however on the wrong side. Even the Loyalists haven't quite cracked the scoreboards in the early stages.
Top honours in terms of most coveted trophy go to the Loyalists' shirt's top whose name is engraved. That man is former Leinster stalwart James Lowe, and he has a ton of points on his mantle.
Other than a fight with the winger, there was a few noteworthy performances by the region's top guns. The Loyalists' Scout hat was particularly impressive. It is not for the faint-hearted. Even though it wasn't a home run for the team, it was still an impressive achievement.
The Loyalists new entrant did not have many missteps. Among the more memorable were the impressive score by Christine Vandertoorn, and the bruising blowout by Britt Whiting. Amanda Blair's show was the best. The kicking game won the day, even though she was the OCAA Female Rugby Player of the Week award recipient. Blair took advantage a cold wind to kick three penalty kickes while also winning the player of week award.
There were many impressive feats that could be found in both the men's and ladies' leagues of the OCAA. While it is not uncommon to find teams with names like "Jackson" and "Jake", these names may be better left in the shadows. The "George North", "George Davidson" and "George Davidson", among others, were unable to play in Round 2. However, the "Geoff Farrar," and "Gabe Davidson", stayed home to win. Nonetheless, the Vikings and the Lancers each came away with a win. As for the other contenders, their respective names sadly remain unknown.
The OCAA men's leagues have a completely different story. Despite the fact that the reigning champions are currently on a losing streak the Vikings, Lancers and Lancers have proven to the OCAA they are not restricted to Kingston. As evidenced by their scores this season, they've made some important moves. Considering they're only a few rounds into the competition, they have the chance to nab a top-four finish and claim the elusive top spot. And if they can keep their heads, they'll be back in the winners' circle by the time they make it to the finals next year.
It's safe to assume the other OCAA male league contenders will be vying for the title.
FAQ
What makes parasailing different to parachuting?
Para-gliding involves using a harness that is attached to a small sailing sail to fly above the earth. The harness lets you fly. It will keep you safe when you are falling through the sky.
Flying requires no special equipment. You simply attach yourself to the sail. Next, take off. The sail will be pushed against the wind as you ascend in altitude. This causes it to lift you.
You keep moving forward, as you glide along ground. Your momentum will propel you forward until the cable ends. At that point, you release your grip and fall back to earth.
If you're ready, reattach your sail.
Parasailing continues to grow at a rapid pace. In 2013, parasailing was enjoyed by more than 1 million people. This is almost twice the number of people who participated in parasailing in 2008

"Riding down Hills" - You must learn how you can stop yourself falling before you can ride downhill. You do this by pushing your legs against the ground, pulling your back leg upwards and kicking your front foot forward. Continue doing this until you achieve the desired speed. You will need to pull your legs forward and kick them further faster you travel. Once you've reached the desired speed, you let your legs come together and relax. The process can be repeated if you wish to slow down.
Once you have learned how you can stop yourself from hitting the ground, you need to find out how fast. There are many ways you can measure speed. Some people prefer counting laps around the mountain. Other people prefer looking at the distance between each turn. You can practice controlling your speed by measuring your speed using timing or counting laps. Practice makes perfect!
Once you have mastered the art of slowing down and speeding things up, it's time for you to master how to turn. To turn, just lean forward towards the side you want. Lean too far, and you will crash into the ground. Lean too little, and you won't be able to turn. Once you're able to turn correctly, you can start learning tricks. Tricks are fancy moves performed on the slopes that require precise timing and balance. They include things like flips, spins, cartwheels, and more.
There are many different types of tricks. You can do tricks like jumping over obstacles or flipping obstacles. There are also tricks that require you to spin over obstacles. Each trick has its own requirements. For instance, if you're trying to jump over something, you might have to spin 180 degrees in midair before landing on the other side.
