Updates...The
Edmonton football community lost a close friend last week. "Big"
Al Park passed away after courageously battling an aggressive form of
ALS. Al and his family have been part of the Chargers family for
many years and we extend our deepest condolences to those he left
behind.
Congratulations
to players and staff at all levels. 2013 ended on a high note
with all three teams making it to Tier I playoffs and the Peewees
winning the Provincial Championship!
In Memorium
Words
cannot describe what Brock Jacobs meant to the football community in
Alberta for his good nature, commitment to fairness, and hard
work. He has never wavered in his support and devotion to minor
football in the Calgary area since he first got involved in the 1970’s,
and that community will notice his loss the most. However,
football was not the only thing that defined the man. He was a
great husband and father, an honest businessman, and a very well
thought of person to all he met. Brock passed away
peacefully on November 2, 2013 surrounded by his family.
Falls will never be the same without him.

Chargers at the 2013 Bantam Bowl Tryouts
Bantam Bowl tryouts were held the weekend of April 20. The Chargers were will represented
by terrific group of young athletes. Congratulations to Colton
MacNeil, Conner Mickel, Curtis Meidl, and Yoma Ovakporaye on making the

Congratulations to the Chargers Midget Team on winning the CDMFA Tier II Championship!
Congratulations
to Chargers General Manager and driving force Susan Morgan. Susan
has been awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal for her
many contributions to the Edmonton community! The medal was
created to mark the 2012 celebrations of the 60th anniversary of Her
Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s accession to the Throne as Queen of
Canada. The Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal is a tangible way
for Canada to honour Her Majesty for her service to this country. At
the same time, it serves to honour significant contributions and
achievements by Canadians.
All of the Charger teams had good
seasons playing in Tier I in 2012. The Atom team had a fun year
and made it to the CDMFA Tier I Semi-Finals. The Peewees made it
to the CDMFA Tier I Finals and the Bantams won the CDMFA Tier I
Championship.
Congratulations
to Chargers Bantam Head Coach Darrell Jorgensen on being named
