We always assume that things will stay the same throughout our lives. Human beings are creatures of habit and when our routine is disrupted, we tend to get discombobulated. Wrestlers are also creatures of habit. We spend hours and hours repeating technique and drills. We train for weeks on end, practicing situations in the hopes that one day we will master it and be able to move on to more advanced drills.

However, what we also must come to realize is the the more we stay in the game, the more chan ..read more

Thursday March 9th, 2023 With the GMAA/RSEQ Championships wrapped up an the Provincials done as well, I felt that this would be a great time to sort of take note at the status of wrestling in the province and it means for the future. Now, to be clear, I can’t predict the future. Otherwise, that winning lottery ticket would have been purchased a long time ago and I could have been able to do some things that I’ve been meaning to do for a while. So what this is going to be is just sort of my best guess scenario for what’s to come based on what I’ve seen in the past couple of weeks. The GMAA/RSEQ ..read more

Loyola High School was crowned as the champions for the boys while Massey Vanier was crowned as the champions for the girls. For Loyola, it wasn’t much of a surprise as they look poised to take the banner based on the quality of their wrestlers and the sheer number they had at their disposal. For Massey Vanier, when I broke the news to their Head Coach Jason Senkerik, he was floored, further adding that Massey Vanier had not won a banner in wrestling since the 1970s. The coaching staff at Ma ..read more
