Jesse Card – Friend of the Warriors Sponsor

/in /by

We have to say THANK YOU to our close friend, Bell Warriors Alumni, Jesse Card who has just made a donation to become a Friend of the Warriors Sponsor!  Jesse is the current Acting Executive Director of Youth Ottawa.

“Keeping our sport ACCESSIBLE FOR All is of the utmost importance with the Warriors. Not every family can afford to register their child in a competitive sport.  We do our best to keep our fees as low as possible but we can’t do that without the support of our community.  Jesse is all heart and he appreciates the challenges the Warriors face and he continues to give back to show his support.  He’s a gem of a man”, states Warriors President Paul Stewart

Jesse had quite a distinguished football career which started in 1994 as a young Tyke with our Bell Warriors.  He won Rookie of the Year that year and he never turned back.  He went on to play for the Warriors winning Outstanding DB at Pee Wee, Bantam Rookie of the Year and finishing his Warriors career winning the coveted Coaches Choice Award.

He went on to play 5 more  seasons with the McMaster Marauders while earning an undergraduate degree in  Psychology with a great focus in the application of psychology in sport and organizational structures.  Jesse went on to  advance his studies  earning a Master’s degree in Criminology with a concentration in Crime Prevention. As a Marauder, Jesse’s accomplishments were notable winning 2X Most Improved Player and 3X 1st-Team OUA All-Star  honours,  He is still ranked #1 for Most Career Passes Intercepted (16) and #3 for Most Career Solo Tackles (with 99).  He was a Yates Cup winner and was named to the McMaster All-Decade Roster for the 2000’s!  His football career finally finished but not before it took him to play in Finland.

Jesse returned to Ottawa to start his career building a successful creative mulitmedia agency (House Edge Media).  He soon reintegrated himself into the local youth football community with his company HESN which produced player and league video and markteing tools and opportunities.  He joined our league, NCAFA, as a VP of Communications and Marketing and even found time to return to his roots joining the Warriors as a Bantam DB Coach.

 

“I’ve gotten to know Jesse very well through my work with NCAFA and as a coach.  Jesse was part of my coaching staff.  He is a passionate young man especially when it comes to football and the values it promotes in our youth.  He gets it.  The fact that he continues to do what he can to give back says so much about his character and generous spirit.  On behalf of the Bell Warriors, I am proud to THANK JESSE CARD for becoming a valued Friend of the Warriors Sponsor.  You’re the best young man”, concludes President Stewart

It’s official!  The 2021 Jim Wagdin Bell Warriors Scholarship winners have been announced and this year’s winners are Trey O’Brien and Kahir Padamshi.

Trey O’Brien describes some highlights from his many years with the Warriors as, “Through my years with the Warriors, I received many major awards and cherish each one.  I have to admit that was a time in my life that I can honestly say will be with my memories forever and I have learnt so so much from my coaches, my teammates, my managers and trainers.  It was amazing.  Now that I’m moving on to University in Sept 2021, and will continue my football journey with the Carleton Ravens, I will take everything with me from my past with the Warriors and will remember everyone who helped get me there.”   We wish Trey all the best with his studies at Carleton and he is already dressing and travelling with the Ravens team which is a huge first step for a freshman.

Kai Padamshi says of his days with the Warriors, “I played for the Bell Warriors for ten years since I was eight years old.  I have volunteered with the Warriors at the canteen helping sell food and working the cash.  I love this organization as it has always been there for me since a young age.”  Kai finished with a proud pronouncement, “I will always be a proud Warrior.”  Kai is currently at York University where we know he will continue to grow and shine.

Join us in congratulating these two exceptional young men who continue to represent the “Warrior Way” and our program with integrity and pride.  CONGRATULATIONS TREY AND KAI!

BINARY FORTRESS SOFTWARE SPONSOR PLAYERS IN NEED

/in /by

When our club and players are in need, inevitably our parents recognize our challenges and choose to act.  This is exactly what Jon Tackabury President and Owner of Binary Fortress Software did by partnering with the Bell Warriors to become a Gold Sponsor of the 2021 Bell Warriors Tackle Football Program.

“We believe that all children should have the opportunity to participate in sports regardless of economic background. We hope that this donation will help”, stated owner Jon Tackabury.

“With less than 45% of our budget being covered annually by player fees, our non-profit football club is always running on a tight budget.  When we do find our selves with a small surplus, it is easily allotted to our expansive field and player equipment budget.  The Bell Warriors supply all of the player and field equipment other than cleats.  It is a daunting challenge making ends meet at the best of times.  The same can be said for many of our families.  We know it can be tough raising a young family financially and the Bell Warriors are committed to ensure that this doesn’t hold back anyone from joining our sport and Warriors family.  It takes hard work but it also takes like-minded partners like Binary Fortress Software to make it this a reality.” outlines Warriors President Paul Stewart.

This sponsorship will be vital to ensure we can move forward with the 2022 Tackle Football season with funds that will be targeted to keep our sport affordable and accessible for all financially.  “We cannot thank Jon and his wife Andrea Chamberlain enough for their thoughtful generousity and support of our families and players in need.  Football is all about setting an example and this is an example of caring that we can all look to with admiration and appreciation”, concludes President Stewart.

Turpin KIA Makes Football ACCESSIBLE TO ALL!

/in /by

The Bell Warriors Football Club are excited to announce a unique new partnership with Turpin KIA that will help keep football affordable and accessible for local youth for years to come. In recognition of this thoughtful and generous show of support for the Warriors and their young players, Turpin KIA will become the Warriors first Diamond Sponsor in their 66-year club history.

This $15,000.00 donation to the Bell Warriors Football Club will be used to help offset financial shortfalls for
young players at all four of the tackle football competitive levels.

“The Warriors are so thankful for Turpin KIA’s support and initiative. Fern Turpin, Turpin KIA President, recognized the challenges some families face in playing our great sport and he acted decisively. Our club supplies all the required field and player equipment, and we are a 100% volunteer-based non-profit youth club. We do everything we can to make our great sport affordable for all, but we cannot do it without like-minded partners like Fern Turpin and Turpin KIA”, states Paul Stewart, Bell Warriors Football President.

The inaugural Diamond sponsorship will offer support for player fee financial shortfalls for the next 5 years.  “The Bell Warriors Football Club is entering into our 66th year of providing youth football programs in 2021 and we are so proud and excited. Literally hundreds of volunteers and thousands of players have been part of our program since 1955. We think that football is the ultimate team sport. Of course, it is fun, but football is also about providing valuable life skills that teammates will take with them long after their playing days
are done”, continues President Stewart.

“Ultimately, the Warriors are working to create a positive, encouraging, safe and instructive learning environment for our young players. It’s all about instilling confidence, competence, and inner pride in our youth. Fern Turpin and Turpin KIA clearly share the same values, which is immensely evident in their monumental commitment to our youth, club, and sport. We cannot thank them enough for stepping up in
this unprecedented time of need”, concludes the Bell Warriors President.

A cheque presentation was conducted prior to the Bell Warriors Pee Wee game Saturday September 4th atQuinn’s Pointe Field (Barrhaven) at 4:30pm.

Fern Turpin, President of Turpin KIA, presents a cheque for $15,000 to support financially-challenged families be able to play football for the Bell Warriors. BRAVO FERN & TURPIN KIA!

2020 Jim Wagdin Scholarship Winners Announced

/in /by

It’s official!  The 2019 Jim Wagdin Bell Warriors Scholarship winners have been announced and this year’s winners are Ethan Ryan  of Carleton Place and Daniel Briere of Ottawa.

Ethan Ryan describes some highlights from his many years with the Warriors as, “The skills and life lessons I learned from the Bell Warriors football club were invaluable and contributed to my overall personal growth in becoming a man. Each year a different coach brought new direction and advice on how to be the best team member possible but overall the messages were always the same.  I was taught to value teammates, to give of myself, because someone was depending on me. I was taught to have compassion for my team mates and the opposing teams. I learned to be committed to myself and to my team. These lessons forced me to become responsible. Playing with the Bell Warriors required dedication and I learned to give respect and was given my fair share.  I was an award winner with the Bell Warriors every year I played for them. The Bell Warriors made me the football player and person that I am today.”  Ethan will be at Carleton University this year studying music and is hopeful to play football with the Carleton Ravens when USports returns.  He closed his application with the pledge to, “strive to make the Bell Warriors proud of me.”

Daniel Briere says of his days with the Warriors, “The Bell Warriors taught me what hard work was from a very young age. I was around 11 when I started my first year with the Warriors and it was an experience like no other.  The Bell Warriors football organization gave me the opportunity to create bonds that will last a lifetime and help me create a work ethic that I feel will keep with me until the day I retire from whatever is awaiting me in the future.”  Like all of our successful scholarship winners, Daniel has a proud record of volunteering in our community.  He was a active organizer of his high school’s Relay for Life which raises badly needed monies for the Canadian Cancer Society.  Daniel also was a “Buddy” for Ausome.  Ausome is an organization that gives children with autism a space to engage in physical activity.   Daniel ovserves that, “Being brought up with the Bell Warriors and learning about teamwork has helped me to be successful with these events in my community.”

Join us in congratulating these two exceptional young men who continue to represent the “Warrior Way” and our program with integrity and pride.  CONGRATULATIONS ETHAN AND DANIEL!

 

A special thanks also goes out to KEVIN PIDGEON, President and CEO of the Nautical Lands Group who was our exclusive GOLD SPONSOR of this year’s two Jim Wagdin Scholarships (READ MORE).

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.

Ontario Iron Works (The Schwartzes) Step Up!

/in /by

For more than a decade now, when the Bell Warriors have found themselves in need, the Schwartz family have been there to step up for our club and young players.  Well they’ve done it again!  The Bell Warriors Football Club is excited to announce that Ontario Iron Works, which is owned by Carmen Schwartz and her brother Kevin, have just made a substantial sponsorship donation to our club and is now our newest Gold Sponsor!

The Warriors find themselves in a precarious position this year, as many do, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  “We took on substantial expenses in the Winter months as we always do every year preparing for our April ind00r clinics, Spring Co-Ed Flag football program and Spring Girl’s Touch football program.  We also spent money refurbishing and reconditioning all of our helmets for the fall tackle football season and this year we had to make the difficult decision to purchase more helmets to ensure we had enough helmets in inventory.  Aside from that, we still have to pay to store our equipment and insure it.  With next to no revenues for this calendar year, we have been forced to dip into our reserves quite substantially to maitain operations.  COVID-19 has had a dramatic effect on our non-profit youth club”, states Paul Stewart, Bell Warriors President.

Carmen & her husband Ken Schwartz were both substantial volunteers with the Bell Warriors over the past decade.  Ken was a coach and equipment manager with our club while Carmen was a team manager and eventually a VP of Administration.  In 2015, Carmen was named our Bell Warriors Volunteer of the Year and was honoured as the league’s (NCAFA) Volunteer of the Year.  Their two sons Daniel and Steven both played for years with our club and their daughter Kayla Schwartz was often an eager club volunteer as well.

“The Bell Warriors give so much back to their players, families and our community.  They became a fixture in our family’s lives and we wanted to be there to help them especially this year knowing the challenges the club is facing due to this pandemic”, said Ken Schwartz.

“You can’t beat the Schwartzes.  They are great friends with many of our legacy volunteers and for them to continue to give back long after their sons have graduated from the program is a testament to their business, Ontario Iron Works, and their entire family.  This is a financial and emotional pat on the back.  We desperately needed both and can’t thank the Schwartzes enough for being there (again) for our Warriors”, summarizes Mr. Stewart.

For 65 years, the Bell Warriors Football Club has offered football programs for boys and girls ages 7-23 in the communities of Britannia, Bayshore, Bells Corners, Crystal Beach, Richmond, Munster and Stittsville.  To learn more about the Bell Warriors Football Club sponsorship program, go to www.bellwarriors.ca/sponsors/  or email info@bellwarriors.ca.

Kevin Pidgeon Funds 2020 Scholarships!

/in /by

“The Bell Warriors Football Club is pleased and excited to announce that Warriors alumni parent and alumni coach Kevin Pidgeon has stepped up to fund this year’s two Bell Warriors Jim Wagdin Post-Secondary Scholarships,” stated Paul Stewart, Bell Warriors Football President

“In funding year’s scholarships, I wanted to be sure that this year’s bursaries could continue to be made without the Warriors having to impact the club’s operating funds.  Jim (Wagdin) is a tremendous visionary and I am truly proud of all that he has accomplished with the club.” – Kevin Pidgeon, COO Nautical Lands Group.

Jim Wagdin volunteered for the Bell Warriors for 24 amazing years as a coach, VP and eventual President of the Club until 2011.  Mr. Wagdin was a man of character, dignity and distinction who set a tremendous example for our young players and families.  In 2011, upon his retirement from the Warriors, Jim was bestowed the honour as the Bell Warriors 1st Inductee into the Bell Warriors Hall of Fame.

In 1999, the Bell Warriors initiated the Warrior Scholarship program offering two $1,000 scholarships to ex-Warriors who are pursuing post-secondary education.  Participation in a post-secondary football program is not a prerequisite. There are however, three selection criteria – Academics, Warrior Experience, and Community Involvement.   An independent committee, as chosen by the Club executive, makes the selections.   $40,000 has been rewarded to date to Warrior alumni for their pursuit of post-secondary education. The Warriors support our players on and off the field!

“This gesture couldn’t have come at a better time.  Our Bell Warriors Football Club is facing unprecedented financial challenges which puts our non-profit sports club in a precarious position.  Despite the fiscal challenges our club is facing, we felt it was important to continue to support our Warriors alumni now more than ever by continuing to offer our scholarships.   We had already incurred considerable expenses, however, associated with our preparations for our Winter Football clinics, Co-Ed Spring Flag Football program, Spring Girl’s Touch Football program and our Tackle Football program.   Kevin’s considerable donation is not only appreciated but it is reaffirming that the Warriors are on the right track.  It’s a humbling pat-on-the-back to all of our volunteers who have selflessly given to their community over the years.  We can’t thank Kevin Pidgeon and his family enough for continuing to value our club and goals,” sums up President Stewart.

A HUGE THANK YOU KEV!!!

Kevin Pidgeon – THANKS KEV for continuing to care!!!

Kevin’s two sons Brendan and Art both played Tyke through Bantam with the Warriors.

Chili Fundraiser was HOT!

/in /by

Now was it CHILI or was it HOT?  Well it was a little of both!

Whiprsnapr Brewing Co. hosted a very-well timed Chili Contest Fundraiser this past Sunday with all funds raised going to our Bell Warriors.  We packed their brewery and tasted away.  Some were savoury.  Some were spicy.  One even tasted like a black forest chocolate cherry chili and it was oddly amazing.  We all sampled some of their many craft-brewed beer (which is top notch) and enjoyed watching the CFL Grey Cup semi-finals on their big screen.  It was perfect!

Big thank you to Ian McMartin of Whiprsnapr Brewing Co. and our very own Keith Stuart (Warriors Mosquito Head Coach) for setting up this great day.  We also took home some funds to help support our young Warriors.  Football is all about having a passion for life and acting with distinction.  Our friends at Whiprsnapr and Keith and his family clearly get that.  THANK YOU!

Oh yes… … CONGRATS to AVERY STUART, a fearless Mosquito Warriors player, who (with a little help from his Grandma) was selected as the Honourable Mention Champion Chili contestant.  This may have to be an annual event (if I have anything to say about this)!

L to R: Paul Stewart (President) and Keith Stuart (Mosquito Head Coach & Fundraiser Organizer)

Avery Stuart (Mosquito Warriors Captain) was named the Hon. Men. Chili Contest Champion.

Celebrating Scotty’s Corner Diner

/in /by

At the heart of the success of the Bell Warriors Football Club is our tireless volunteers and those that help keep our great sport ‘Affordable For All‘ by making generous contributions.  Scotty’s Corner Diner, in Bells Corners Nepean, was celebrated last night for doing both!

Scott Statham and his wife Jodi Statham are owners of the bustling Scottty’s Corner Diner.  Scotty in his younger years was actually a player for the Warriors.  Years later, when his and Jodi’s boy Logan was old enough, the Stathams came home to the Warriors in a BIG WAY.  Scotty has been a key volunteer and coach for over a decade now and his wife Jodi bled Warriors’ Blue and Yellow.  She did everything for everyone all the time and always with enthusiasm and a glowing smile.  Their daughter Makayla was also part of the Warriors family to the extent that she was our inaugural Volunteer of the Year winner in 2012. 

More recently, Jodi and Scotty started a new business in Bells Corners, Scotty’s Corner Diner, but they still found the time to support our club.   Even though they were time-strapped and likely heavily invested in their own business launch, Scotty’s Corner Diner agreed to coordinate our game-day canteens.  When it was said and done at year end to tally the invoices owed, we were told, “It’s on us.  Thank you for what the Warriors do in our community.”

Although Jodi and Scotty would not accept our money, the Warriors wanted them to realize how much we care about their thoughtfulness, kindness and tireless commitment to our youth, our community, our players and our 64 year-old football club.  At the 2019 Volunteer Appreciation Night held at The ALE  – Amberwood Lounge & Eatery (Stittsville), the Stathams were given a special gift.  In the drop-box frame is our a Warriors Mosquito Jersey (which was sponsored by Scotty’s Corner Diner).  The jersey was #66, the same number worn by their son Logan in his days with the Warriors.  Also enclosed was acknowledgement of their business as a GOLD SPONSOR of the Warriors and a family photo with their family all adorned in Warriors Blue and Yellow.


 

THANK YOU Jodi and Scott Statham and Scotty’s Corner Diner (Bells Corners, Nepean) for all you do for our players, community, and Warriors Football Club!
