Lancers building depth

The Windsor Lancers football program is running down their dream of competing for a Yates Cup championship. Spring camp concluded Sunday afternoon with head coach J-P Circelli pleased with the way things unfolded. "It (camp) gave us a chance to really see where our talent level is and kinda take a look at the depth chart and say who do we see filling in where. Are we in good shape or a little thin." Circelli told Powerplay Sports.



After a 6-2 regular season, the Lancers won their first playoff game since 1975 beating the Carleton Ravens 14-11 in late October. The No. 9 ranked Lancers then suffered a heartbreaking 21-14 loss to Laurier in the OUA semi-finals.


Circelli feels the program is further ahead than they've ever been since taking over the program in 2019. "I think talent wise it's the most talented group we've had," Circelli asserted. "The expectations are very high and the fact that three of our guys are at the (CFL) combine right now kinda speaks volumes of where we're going with this."


Circelli says about 90 players participated in spring camp with starters like Muftah Ageli and Brett MacDougall watching on the sidelines during Sunday's Blue-Gold game.


"We're pleased with the talent level," Circelli said. "We just gotta keep developing so we can start taking on the best teams in the country."

This is why...

Powerplay Sports was born while on a trip to Italy in the summer of 2018. Walking through a charming pedestrian underpass reminded me of being in the tunnel at the University of Michigan in the early part of my career. That feeling led to thoughts of Windsor Lancers football camp opening in three weeks and all of the fall sports that weren't going to be covered because of cuts to local sports coverage by legacy media. 

With the support of a loving wife and family, I decided to create Powerplay Sports as a passion project.  

I've come across some great people who have helped capture the essence of our community throughout the years like Tony Techko, Tony Doucette, Scott Scantlebury, Dom Papa, Steve Bell, Will Hill, Jim Parker and Mary Caton to name a few. 

Please spread the word and follow along here or on social media so we can continue having the priviledge of highlighting our athletes, our community.
