With the rugby season in full swing, it is no surprise that many players from across the world are making their mark. This list features seven Bay of Quinte products that make the grade.
The championship's first round saw the Loyalist Lancers as well as the Kingston St. Lawrence Vikings and the Peterborough Fleming Knights, along with the Oakville Sheridan Bruins, gracing the pitch. However, there are a few big names that are not on the right side of the draw. Even the Loyalists didn't manage to crack the scoreboards during the initial stages.
The Loyalists' top shirt has the name of the man who is most highly coveted. James Lowe, an ex-Leinster stalwart who holds a lot of points, is that man.
Apart from the brawl with the winger above, there were other notable performances by some of the region's finest guns. The Loyalists' scout helmet was especially impressive. The team still managed to achieve an impressive feat, even though it might not be a homerun.
The Loyalists new entrant did not have many missteps. Britt Whiting's stunning score and Christine Vandertoorn’s incredible score are two of the highlights. Amanda Blair's display was undoubtedly the best. The kicking game won the day, even though she was the OCAA Female Rugby Player of the Week award recipient. Taking advantage of a brisk icy wind, Blair booted three penalty kicks, while also claiming the aforementioned player of the week award.
There was certainly no shortage of impressive feats to be found in the OCAA's men's and women's leagues. It is not uncommon for teams to have names such as "Jackson", "Jake" and others. However, these names should be kept out of the spotlight. The likes "George North", and "George Davidson," were forced to miss Round 2. Due to injury, "Geoff Farrar," "Gabe Davidson", and "George Davidson” stayed home for their win. Nonetheless, the Vikings and the Lancers each came away with a win. The identities of the other contestants are unknown.
It's a completely different story in the OCAA men’s leagues. Although the reigning champs are in the midst of a losing streak, the Vikings and Lancers have shown the OCAA that they are no longer confined to Kingston. They have shown that they are capable of making significant moves, as evident by the scores this season. With just a few rounds to go, they still have the chance of securing a top-four finish. If they keep their heads up, they will be back in the winners circle when they reach the finals next year.
It's safe to assume the other OCAA male league contenders will be vying for the title.

How To
How do I get started with Base Jumping?
Base jumping (also known as free-fall parachuting) is a sport where participants jump from fixed objects (usually cliffs), such as bridges, towers, buildings, etc., without any equipment attached to them. To safely land, the participant jumps from the object. It's similar to skydiving but you don’t have to wear a parachute or hold your breath as you wait to open it.
The most common type of base jumper is called a wingsuit jumper. A wingsuit is composed of two pieces of fabric that are sewn together. One piece covers chest and arms, while the second one covers the legs. Special boots allow the jumper to stand straight during flight. The jumper pulls the ankle straps tighter during descent. This causes the fabric covering his/her legs to bunch up under his/her body, creating an air pocket. Once the air pocket has grown large enough, the jumper will open his/her parachut and land safely.
Some base jumpers use powered suits to help propel themselves through the air faster. Powered suits have two main parts: a backpack containing batteries and a jet pack worn under the jumper's clothes. These small rockets shoot hot gas jets at high speeds from these packs. This creates a thrust that propels the jumper forward. These suits are loud and heavy, however.
BASE jumping can be a dangerous sport. Learn how to BASE Jump. Be aware of the risks. You could fall off a cliff or hit an obstacle upside-down or head-on. Or you could collide with another jumper. Even though BASE jumping is not always dangerous, it can be very dangerous when done incorrectly. Be sure to follow the safety tips below before you attempt to BASE Jump.
Start by practicing safe BASE jumping techniques at a lower hill. It is important to take some time to get used to the terrain before you attempt to jump off of a higher hill. Watch out for weather conditions. Try to jump when the wind isn't blowing in your face. Also, avoid foggy skies. If you see more than 10 feet ahead of yourself, then you might need wait until the cloud clears. The third thing you should do is make sure that you have all the gear. You should have a helmet, goggles and gloves as well as a complete suit including a harness. Fourth, make sure you have a plan. For any problems, have someone else follow you. Don't ever jump by yourself. Always have someone to watch over you.
