Mike Samuel, President of Hamilton Hurricanes, The Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Brent Howlett, President of Hamilton Wentworth Minor Football Association are excited to announce a solidification of their ongoing relationship offering Hamilton’s Premier Football program.

Brent presented that for the Football season 2013 and beyond two new programs have been developed encompassing a complete Minor League Program and three Varsity Teams playing in the Ontario Football League (www.ofcfootball.com). The Minor League program for ages 7-14 will now officially be known as the Hamilton Wentworth Tiger-Cats and the Flagship Rep Varsity Football program will be the Hamilton Hurricanes. Brent stated that we now are able to offer a Tier one football program for young players from seven (7) years old to twenty-two (22) years of age; no other program offers that, we are finally seeing the culmination of a vision, Hamilton Football working together.

The Hamilton Wentworth Minor Football Association program was established in 1982 and is widely recognized as one of Southern Ontario’s premier football associations offering a variety of programs from Tackle House League, Representative traveling teams and Tier One Provincial Varsity teams.

Mike Samuels states that this is a natural next step and this allows an increase in the contribution towards sharing of resources, talent and football knowledge as a “football community”, which can only improve on the great football that is played in Hamilton now.

The Hamilton Hurricanes are a proud football organization with a rich history of tradition, talent, and championship success. The team has been a part of the Hamilton Football scene since its inaugural year in 1963. The Hurricanes have created a program to compete for Provincial and National Championships by providing a competitive football program which focuses on leadership and discipline in the pursuit of athletic excellence, while developing future community leaders.

As one of the first steps in this new relationship the Canadian Football Leagues Hamilton Tiger-Cats in affiliation with the HWMFA has developed and offered a Winter Skills Tiger-Cats Football Camp,

The Hamilton Wentworth Tiger-Cats Football Camp is a non-contact, skill teaching camp that is designed to give each player a solid foundation in football fundamentals. Led by Coach Joe Sardo and his staff, each player will receive 12 weeks of hands-on instruction as they participate in drills and new techniques. Our camp is designed to focus on the fundamentals of football, specific player positions as well as strength and conditioning.

The team of coaches include past and present CFL players, members of the Vanier Cup winning McMaster Marauders, professional coaches and the coaching staff of the Hamilton Wentworth Tiger-Cats Football Association. Coach Joe will utilize their talent and experience to help develop fundamental skills, such as blocking, tackling, passing, receiving and running. Regardless of your football skill level, The Hamilton Wentworth Tiger-Cats Football Camp promises to be a fun- filled, educational experience. During the camp there will be 3 sessions run by SST and 2 run by DBFA Academy.
