The rugby season is in full swing and it's no surprise that players from all corners of the globe are making a name for themselves. This list includes seven Bay of Quinte product that have made the grade.
The first round of the championship saw the likes of the Loyalist Lancers, the Kingston St. Lawrence Vikings, the Peterborough Fleming Knights and the Oakville Sheridan Bruins all gracing the pitch. A few of the top names are however on the wrong side. Even the Loyalists can't seem to make it past the first stages of the game.
Top honours in terms of most coveted trophy go to the Loyalists' shirt's top whose name is engraved. James Lowe is a former Leinster stalwart and has many points to his name.
Apart from the brawl with the winger above, there were other notable performances by some of the region's finest guns. In particular, the Loyalists' scout hat was a sight to behold, albeit one that may not be for the faint of heart. The team still managed to achieve an impressive feat, even though it might not be a homerun.
Aside from a few missteps, the Loyalists' newest entrant had its moments. Britt Whiting's stunning score and Christine Vandertoorn’s incredible score are two of the highlights. Amanda Blair's display was however 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 of the cold wind to kick three penalty kicks and won the player of the week award.
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 injury to George North and George Davidson forced the team to skip Round 2. Meanwhile, Geoff Farrar and Gabe Davidson remained home for the win. The Vikings and Lancers both won. As for the other contenders, their respective names sadly remain unknown.
But, the OCAA's men's leagues are a different story. Despite the current champs being in the midst a losing streak they have shown the OCAA by showing the Lancers as well as the Vikings that they are not confined to Kingston. They have shown that they are capable of making significant moves, as evident by the scores this season. Even though they are just a few rounds into this competition, they have the potential to secure a top four finish and the elusive top place. If they keep their heads up, they will be back in the winners circle when they reach the finals next year.
It is also possible to predict that other OCAA men’s league contenders will be trying for the title.

Skier - A person who uses a ski/snowboard to ride down hills. Skiers wear boots, pants and helmets. Helmets protect their heads when they fall.
"Skiing" - Riding down hills on skis. This can be done on both natural terrains like mountains and man-made ones such as ski resorts. Skiing requires special equipment such as skis and poles, bindings or boots, gloves, goggles, sunglasses and socks.
"Riding down Hills" - You must learn how you can stop yourself falling before you can ride downhill. 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. You keep doing this until you reach the desired speed. You must keep your legs straight and pull them up as fast as you can. Once you reach your speed goal, you can relax and let your legs connect. When you want to slow down, you just repeat the process.
After you have learned how to keep yourself from falling to the ground, it is time to determine how fast you want. There are several ways to measure speed. Some people prefer to count laps around the mountain, others prefer to look at the distance covered from one turn to another. 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, simply lean towards the side that you want to move towards. If you lean too far, you'll crash into the ground. Too much and you'll be unable to turn. Once you have mastered the basics of turning, you will be able learn tricks. Tricks are fancy moves you perform on the slopes. They require timing and balance. These include flips, spins and cartwheels.

There are many types of tricks. For example, some tricks require precision and accuracy, tricks that require strength, tricks that require agility, and tricks that require finesse.
Tricks are not easy to master. Once you learn them, they are easy to do anywhere, anytime. Although skiing is often considered an adult sport, children love the slopes. It's great to see kids perform amazing tricks, such as flipping over obstacles and sliding down hills.
