NCAFA Return to Play – UPDATE

June 30, 2020/in Headlines /by Paul Stewart

NCAFA Return to Play 
Update – July 2020

Football Canada officially released its Return to Football Guidelines for the country on June 19, 2020.  This will shortly be followed up with OFA guidelines based on rules set out by the Province of Ontario.

As we review the guidelines presented, NCAFA and its member Clubs are working diligently to ensure any return to play strategy has player, parent, coach and volunteer safety first and foremost in our decisions.

We have heard from many of you and certainly appreciate your desire for information. At this time NCAFA will continue with the suspension of all tackle football activity until at least September 1st while we evaluate options as to if / when it is safe to restart our programs.

Thank you in advance for your understanding and patience.

Our 64th Year as BELL WARRIORS has Started!

April 13, 2019/in Uncategorized /by Paul Stewart

We made history today as we started our 64th season as Bell Warriors!

We’ll be offering football programs for boys and girls from now until November.  It’s a huge commitment to our community, to our football community and most certainly to our youth!  We are so proud of our many volunteers who continue to step up to honour our club’s proud tradition of giving back.

“They not only make it all possible but they make it so rewarding.  It is important to set a good example for our youth and part of that is showing our youth how much fun it can be to work hard, selflessly giving back to our community.” states Paul Stewart, Bell Warriors President.

Kelly Broad Establishes Dion Broad Memorial Fund

September 24, 2016/in Headlines /by Paul Stewart

“In caring memory of a dear man, Dion Broad November 29, 1971-October 12, 2011.  A loving father, husband, brother, son and friend.  Dedicated civilian member of the RCMP, Scouts leader, soccer convenor and football fan.  He did not get to see his son on the Warriors field, but his spirit is with him.  The opportunity to find our hearts after losing Dion, will always be appreciated.  We cannot repay all the coaches and other volunteers for all they have done, and in ways they will never know.  On behalf of his family, who are too many to name, Thank you.”  
 
Kind regards, Kelly, Keenan and Devon Broad

To remember and recognize the 5th anniversary of the Broad family’s loss of their loved-one Dion Broad, Kelly Broad and her two sons Devon and Keenan, have made an immensely thoughtful contribution to the Bell Warriors Football Club.  The monies are to be used to help ensure that players in need of financial support enjoy the opportunity to be part of the Warriors family.  “Kelly, Devon and Keenan (who plays for our Bantams) are truly kind and caring souls.  I know the Warriors family have all been moved by this gesture of generousity in loving memory of their lost husband and father.  Football can be a vehicle to reinforce the ideals of selflessness and compassion to your new friends, family and volunteers and it is hard to imagine any more fitting way to exemplify these heart-felt values than by this sacrifice by the Broad’s to support our young players in need. “ ~ Paul Stewart, Bell Warriors President.

The Warriors would like to add that more can always be done to help our players in financial need.  If you are moved by the Broad’s honourable show of generousity, please reach out to join the cause.  Simply email info@bellwarriors.ca to make an offer to help support our players in the memory of Dion Broad.  The Broad family and the Bell Warriors Thank You.

Long-Time Warrior Tim Sheahan receives honour!

March 2, 2016/in Headlines /by Paul Stewart

Long-time Warrior volunteer, coach and Executive member Tim Sheahan was honoured today with his Community Builder Award at Ottawa City Hall.
 
United Way Ottawa honours Ottawa’s outstanding volunteers through its Community Builder Award program — those organizations, partnerships, agencies, neighbourhood groups and individuals who work tirelessly, passionately and collaboratively to make Ottawa a better place in which to live, work and raise a family.
 
In addition to the winners’ awards, their names are inscribed on the Wall of Inspiration.  Located in Jean Pigott Hall at Ottawa City Hall, the Wall of Inspiration is a visible reminder to residents and visitors of the enduring commitment that these individuals and organizations have made to Ottawa. “The Wall of Inspiration is about bringing together outstanding volunteers and celebrating the positive imprint their work has left on our community. Beyond our wishes to recognize their valuable work, we also want to inspire the rest of the community to become involved and play their own role in making Ottawa a stronger community,” says Michael Allen, President and CEO, United Way Ottawa.

‘Coach Tim’, 3rd from the right in the above picture, wanted to sum up the experience and here are his words of observation and thanks:  “The Program started exactly on time at 12:00 noon, unlike most of our practices.  Anyway, Mayor Jim Watson was a guest speaker as well as a Rabbi Reuven Bulka, United Way CEO & President Michael Allen and reprentatives from Scotia Bank (the sponsor of today’s event ).  The gentleman that presented me with my plaque last year, Waub Rice,  was the M.C. for today’s event .  It started with Waub’s going through a typical dissertation of who the type of people are that are given community awards.  He then began to recall the story of about presenting me with my award last year at our Winter Workouts at the Oz Dome.  He said that it was a big secret, and that Ann, Kyle and Brendan (Tim’s family) showed up in the middle of our Warriors practice secretly,  I remember it like it was yesterday.  I really didn’t clue in that day that the award was for me until he said my name. As I was sitting there today, I was just as surprised that he was telling the story about my award.  I was asked to stand up and be recognized and I gave a thankful wave. I falsely assumed that they would give a little story about each of the recipients.  Right after acknowledging me, they quickly went to a video presentation for Bryan Murray (The Community Builder of the Year).  After that, each recipient was called forward to take a group photo around the 2015 plaque on the wall.  I was absolutely blown away that I would be included as part of today’s program and quite flattered… I want to thank all, who are involved with Bell Warriors Football.  We don’t do what we do to be recognized.  We do it because we have something to give and we love being part of a club/organization that really cares about the sport and those playing it.  I couldn’t help but reflect on these past 11 years and wonder how life could have been very different for me, and my family, if my boys hadn’t found The Bell Warriors.  I am thankful for the 11 years of association with the club, and very thankful for the many relationships that I , and my family , have forged.  Warriors for Life!” ~ Tim Sheahan.
