CUFLA All Canadians

Six players hail from Peterborough, Ontario and five call Oakville, Ontario home. Two players are from the United States, McMaster’s Carter Williams (Scottsdale, Arizona) and McGill’s Jake Winn (Falmouth, Maine). Eleven of CUFLA’s twelve teams are represented.

West Division

CUFLA’s 2008 champion, The University of Guelph, led all teams with a record six All Canadians including NLL player Jon Harnett of the Boston Blazers. Although Guelph’s playoff run was ended by CUFLA’s national runner-up McMaster University in 2009, Guelph’s strong defensive corps earned two of the defense awards (Jon Harnett, Mike Gillan) and strength at midfield (Paul Ryan, Brad Galante, Scott Fitchett) were recognized in the annual coaches’ poll.  All Canadians do not appear to be the key to success in CUFLA as the undefeated Brock Badgers had only 2 players selected (NLL players Mike MacLeod of the Rochester Knighthawks, Dustin Dunn of the Buffalo Bandits) while runner-up McMaster had only 1 player selected; rookie Carter Williams.

East Division

Carleton University placed a school record four players on the Eastern all star squad, including league scoring champion Corey Fowler (28 goals, 21 assists), and Coquitlam BC native Wayne Punchak. Trent also had four student athletes earning the nod, including Toronto Rock player Josh Wasson and NLL draftee Mack O’Brien. Senior Brendan Farrer of McGill also earned his fourth All-Canadian award in as many years. Farrer, a native of Oakville, Ontario, is also a four time member of McGill’s principal’s academic honour roll.  Ottawa, Ont. natives Brendan Gibbs of Queen’s and Raj Wasson of Carleton were also named to the squad.
