     NIAGARA SPEARS ANNOUNCE PEE WEE TEAM FOR 2010    

THE NIAGARA SPEARS ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THEIR ADDITION OF A PEE WEE TEAM INTO THE OVFL FOR 2010.  THE NIAGARA SPEARS ENTERED THE OVFL IN 2004 WITH A JUNIOR VARSITY TEAM.  A VARSITY TEAM FOLLOWED A YEAR LATER.  CONSIDERATION WAS GIVEN TO A PEE WEE TEAM SEVERAL YEARS AGO, HOWEVER, THE SPEARS FELT THAT THE TIMING WASN'T RIGHT, GIVING CONSIDERATION TO THE NIAGARA MINOR PROGRAM. THE SPEARS CONSULTED WITH THE NIAGARA REGIONAL MINOR FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION AND DISCUSSED A POSSIBLE JOINT VENTURE (AN IDEA THAT THE SPEARS WOULD STILL BE HAPPY TO ENTER INTO). NIAGARA IS THE ONLY MAJOR OVFL CENTER THAT DOES NOT HAVE A PEE WEE TEAM.

HEAD COACH ANNOUNCED

THE NIAGARA SPEARS ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT KENT RISKO HAS BEEN SELECTED AS THE NEW HEAD COACH OF THE NIAGARA SPEARS PEE WEE TEAM.  KENT HAS A LONG HISTORY OF COACHING IN THE GOLDEN HORSESHOE AREA.  HE HAS COACHED IN NIAGARA MINOR, HIGHSCHOOL, HAMILTON HURRICANES AND ................................ THE ORIGINAL SPEARS TEAMS FROM THE EARLY 1970'S.  THIS WILL BE A "COMING HOME" OF SORTS FOR KENT.  THE NIAGARA SPEARS FAMILY WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME KENT AND WE WISH HIM THE VERY BEST OF SUCCESS.
