SPORTS & LEISURE After a 15-year absence, the football program at Carleton University in Ottawa has been revived and the Ravens appear set to make a big splash when they begin play again in September, having received commitments from several top-ranked high-schoolers in Canada, including Georgetown's Tommy Kanichis. The 6-foot-3, 305-pound offensive line- man missed the entire 2012 season with a knee injury but expects to be back in form for the North Halton Crimson Tide club team's opener in May. A Georgetown District High School student, Kanichis was ranked third in Canada amongst graduating seniors for 2013 by a scouting organization called Top Prospects and he entertained scholar- ship offers from south of the border be- fore opting for Carleton. "The reason I chose Carleton came down to three things," he said. "First, the criminology program is one of the best in the entire country so I know I'll be getting a high level of educa- tion. When football is over having a de- gree from a great university is key in fu- ture successes. Secondly, the school itself. The campus is absolutely amazing there is newly renovated buildings everywhere. It's located in Ottawa, which is a city full of history and opportunity. Lastly, I made my decision because of the football pro- gram. The program is restarting after 15 years of no football at the university and to be able to step on the fi eld as one of the fi rst players to be part of the reborn Ra- vens is something not many can say." Local resident Tommy Kanichis (centre) has signed on to play varsity football and study crimi- nology at Carelton University in Ottawa beginning in September. Ravens' offensive co-ordinator J.P. Asselin (left) and defensive co-ordinator Ryan Biechmanis re- cently visited Kanichis's George- town home for the offi cial sign- ing. Submitted photo The Club at North Halton will play host to a couple of major golf tourna- ments this July as the PGA Women's Championship of Canada and the To- ronto Star Men's Amateur are slated take place on the venerable George- town course. North Halton hosts its fi rst PGA of Canada national championship July 2-4 and Canada's best pro players are expected to be in the fi eld. Marc Bezaire, the Club's head PGA golf professional, says players will be treated to an old school, shot makers golf course. "The Club at North Halton is a true shot makers golf course," Bezaire says. "Players will enjoy being able to work their shots and the chance to use every club in their bag." The PGA Women's Championship of Canada was fi rst played in 1987 and past champions include Cathy Sherk, Gail Graham, Nancy Harvey, Lorie Kane and Jessica Shepley. LPGA Tour player Alena Sharp of Hamilton, Ont., has won the champi- onship the past two years and looks to become the fi rst three-peat winner since Kane won the championship four years in a row from 1996-1999. The Simmlands Insurance Services Pro-Am kicks off championship week on July 2, with proceeds of the event going to Women in Insurance Cancer Crusade. The Toronto Star Amateur, run by the Greater Toronto Area Golf Asso- ciation, draws most of the top young Canadian male golfers, many of whom are on scholarships at major U.S. uni- versities. The men's event is scheduled for July 16-19 at North Halton. For qualifying info for the Star Amateur, visit the website www.gtaga. com Originally founded as a club in 1954, North Halton's history dates back to 1915 when the legendary PGA of Canada professional George Cum- ming was hired to design the nine-hole course known as Cedar Crest. Bob and Dave Moote completed an expansion to its current 18-hole routing in the 1960s. North Halton Club to host women's PGA, Star events Kanichis commits to Carleton Members of the board of directors for the Georgetown Hockey Heri- tage Council present a cheque worth $10,000 to Halton Hills Arena Users' Group co-chair Steve Highfi eld (holding cheque at left). The funds were raised through a number of the GHHC's annual events, including the oldtimers' hockey tournament in November. So far, the HHAUG fund has raised more than $1 million of its $2 million goal that needs to be reached by September. Photo by Eamonn Maher Hockey Heritage helps HHAUG
