With the rugby season in full swing, it is no surprise that many players from across the world are making their mark. This list includes seven Bay of Quinte product that have made the grade.
The first round featured the Loyalist Lancers and the Kingston St. Lawrence Vikings. Also, the Peterborough Fleming Knights, the Oakville Sheridan Bruins and the Peterborough Fleming Knights all visited the pitch. However, there are a few big names that are not on the right side of the draw. Even the Loyalists didn't manage to crack the scoreboards during the initial stages.
In terms of the most coveted trophy, the top honours go to the man who's name is emblazoned on the top of the Loyalists's shirt. James Lowe is a former Leinster stalwart and has many points to his name.
Aside from a tussle with the aforementioned winger, there were a few notable performances from the region's top guns. Particularly, the Loyalists scout cap was something to see, although it may not be one for the faint of heart. The team still managed to achieve an impressive feat, even though it might not be a homerun.
With a few hiccups, the Loyalists newest entrant had its moments. Britt Whiting and Christine Vandertoorn had impressive scores. Amanda Blair's display was undoubtedly the best. Although she was named the OCAA female player of the week, it was the kicking that won the day. Blair took advantage the icy wind and kicked three penalty kicks. She also won the player award for the week.
There was certainly no shortage of impressive feats to be found in the OCAA's men's and women's leagues. It is not uncommon for teams to have names such as "Jackson", "Jake" and others. However, these names should be kept out of the spotlight. 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. The Vikings and Lancers still won. Their names are still unknown for the other contenders.
However, in the OCAA men's leagues, it's a different story. Despite being on a losing streak, reigning champs the OCAA is not in the dark. However, the Vikings & Lancers have proved to the OCAA that they're not limited to Kingston. They've made some significant moves, as evidenced by the scores they've racked up this season. They have a chance to finish in the top four and win the top spot, even though they are only a few rounds in. They will return to the winners' podium if they are able to keep their heads straight when they reach the finals next season.
It is safe to assume that the other OCAA Men's League contenders will also be trying to win the title.

Para-gliding is a form of flying above ground using a harness and a small sail. The harness allows for you to fly. The harness keeps you safe if you fall through the air.
Flying is easy with no equipment. Simply attach yourself to your sail. You then take off. As you rise in altitude, the wind pulls against the sail. This helps to lift your spirits.
You keep moving forward, as you glide along ground. Your momentum propels you forward until you reach its end. You then release your grip to fall back to the ground.
When you're ready to start again, reattach yourself to the sail.
Parasailing has been growing rapidly. More than 1 million people participated in parasailing in 2013. This is nearly double the amount who did it in 2008.

How To
How do I start snowboarding for Beginners?
We will be discussing how to get started snowboarding in this section. Everything will be covered, including what equipment you should buy, where to travel, and how to teach.
Let's begin with the basics.
"Snowboard": A board that is attached to your feet for skiing down hills. It typically has two edges (front and back), which form the board's shape. To help control speed, the front edge is usually wider than its back.
"Skier" means someone who uses skis/snowboards to get down hills. Skiers wear boots called "boots," pants called "pants," and helmets called "helmets." Skiers wear helmets to protect their heads in the event of a fall.
"Skiing" means riding down hills on skis. This can be done on both natural terrains like mountains and man-made ones such as ski resorts. Skiing is a sport that requires special equipment. These include skis (poles), bindings boots, jackets gloves, goggles sunglasses, socks and wax.
"Riding Down Hills": To ride downhill you have to first learn how stop yourself from falling. To do so, you use your legs to push against the ground at the same time as pulling your back leg up and kicking your front leg forward. Continue doing this until you achieve the desired speed. You need to keep moving faster so you have to push your legs up and kick forward. Once you have reached your desired speed, let your legs relax and allow them to come together. When you want to slow down, you just repeat the process.
Once you've learned how to prevent yourself from colliding with the ground you will need to figure out how fast. There are several ways to measure speed. Some prefer to measure speed by counting laps around a mountain while others prefer to measure the distance between turns. To practice speed control, you can either time yourself or count laps. Practice makes perfect!
After you have learned how to slow down and speed up, it is now time to learn the tricks of turning. To turn, you just need to lean your body towards the direction you want. Lean too far, and you will crash into the ground. If you don't lean enough, you will not be able turn. Once you're able to turn correctly, you can start learning tricks. Tricks are fancy moves you perform on the slopes. They require timing and balance. They include things like flips, spins, cartwheels, and more.
There are many tricks. Some tricks include jumping over obstacles while others involve flipping objects over and spinning around obstacles. Each trick is different. You might need to spin 180 degrees midair if you are trying to jump above something before you land on the opposite side.
There are many different types of tricks. You can also find tricks that require precision, accuracy, strength, agility, finesse, or precision.
Tricks can be hard to master. It's not easy to master tricks, but once you do, you can use them any time, anywhere. While skiing is often viewed as a sport reserved for adults, it's a popular activity among children. It's fun watching kids skate down hills, flip over obstacles, and even perform some pretty impressive tricks.
