Under-17 Ontario Varsity Football League (JR-OVFL)
Decenber 4th, 2006


The Chatham-Kent Cougars have officially applied to submit a team into the Under-17 Ontario Varsity Football League or better known as the JR-OVFL. The OVFL leadership contacted the Chatham-Kent Cougars executive after a successful inaugural PeeWee Travel season about the possibility of entering a JR-OVFL team into the existing league. There will be a vote on January 13th involving all OVFL governors. The Cougar executive believes a JR-OVFL team will be a great stepping stone for players about to tryout for their SR high school team and would also provide an opportunity for players attending a high school without a football program to experience the sport.

The Chatham-Kent Cougars will again be competing in the Pee-Wee (Under 15) travel football league next year.
