Fri, Aug 27 04 "More on A CFL Player goes onto play Australian Rules Football but was then tragically killed in 2003!

Michael Lazecki pictured here helping form what is now the largest Aussie Rules Footy competition outside of Australia, the Ontario Australian Rules Football League. Keep reading for this amazing story.

Stuart the webmaster at the Downtown Toronto Dingo's today gave me permission to add this team photo to my Aussie Rules Footy webWORLD.

From Dingos website "Mike was a member of the first Dingos team and all at the club were shocked and saddened to learn of his passing. As a club we decided to dedicate the first game of 2003 to his memory and wear black arm-bands in honour of Mike, his family and his friends." For the full story Click here

Any Aussie's or others out there that love our game that want to help in some way in promoting our great game in Canada and the US please feel free to contact me and I'll tell you more about some of the teams that you may want to help. I can put you in direct contact with some of the great men running these clubs. Many if not all are always looking for help in attracting more players, financial help etc etc. myk@mykaussie.com " Myk Aussie

I met one of Michael Lazecki's best friends last Friday through a good friend of mine. Robert, Michael's friend told me how Michael played for the Sask Rough Riders in the CFL as a kicker for many years, also in the Arena league with Tampa Bay Storm but then his playing footy story continued.

Michael then went onto play in the Ontario Australian Rules Football League for the Toronto Downtown Dingo's before he was tragically killed in a car accident. I believe Michael is the only CFL Player to ever play Aussie Rules Footy.

Toronto has the biggest league of Aussie Footy outside of Australia. Robert told me several great stories about Michael including how he loved playing Aussie footy in his late 30's. Then a great story how he helped a homeless lady. He walked around a supermarket with her picking out all the healthy good value food then bought it all for her and her kids. He then went back to the car with his mates and got them to also throw some money in for the food. Seems he was a terrific person.

It was great to see many of the Vancouver Cougar guys are smart! Although still a bit upset at loosing last week many were in attendance Sunday at SSSonja's Miss Bodyrays contest at Malones Beach Bar. It was a magnificent day admiring the Cwoc scenery lead buy the beautiful SSSonja. Many ales were consumed, it was a near must in the hot Vancouver sun and I also enjoyed chatting Aussie Footy especially with the newcomers to Canada with all the latest AFL gossip.

Mon, Aug 9 04 "The Alberta Roo Pies won the Big AFL, Aussie Rules Footy Clash on Saturday in Vancouver defeating the Vancouver Cougars!  CFL Rd 8 was awesome!  

It was a magnificent day at UBC's Thunderbird stadium as the Calgary Kangaroos combined with the newly formed Red Deer Magpies to defeat the Vancouver Cougars in a great great game of Aussie Rules Footy. The Van Cwoc's even served us up meat pies, just like being at home it was. More to come on the Big day and great night." Myk Aussie

Mon, Aug 2 04 "Great News! Aussie Rules Footy game was played at at Pammy's BC Place! AFL Rd 18 results and the Crowingless Crows finally win!

Thursday night at 1/2 time of the CFL Lions vs Al's game the Vancouver Cougars Aussie Rules Footy team  played a great exhibition game! This is up there with the best news I have ever heard in my 6 1/2 years in Canada! 

So lots of the Lions Fans in between watching the Lions going at it with the Al's enjoyed watching one of the best games in the World that is expanding in Nth America big time.

From Total-CFL Discussion "About ten years ago I was in Australia, and got hooked on Aussie Rules Football, what a game. Reminded me alot of the CFL, kind of the best game that was looked down on by the "established Rugers", and the players seemed to be paid like the CFL players for the most part. Kicked myself for not picking up a jersey or 2."  Sideline Reporter Total-CFLer

Thanks Sideline. Similar to the CFL you say, not sure about that but in some ways I suppose.

Thurs, July 29 04 "A big squad is coming from Alberta to Vancouver for the Aug 7th Aussie Rules footy clash! I talked lots of AFL yesterday on Monroe New Orleans Saints Land radio!

From Chriso Champ Calgary Kangaroos player and one of the coaches 

"Looks like we have a pretty healthy squad coming over for the BC Cup. We should have a squad of 30 or so. We'll be the Alberta Lions - mix of Red Deer and Calgary. 90% are driving over - the Red Deer boys are coming in an RV. 

We'll be staying at the UBC dorms Saturday night." Chris O'Connell Calgary Kangaroos

I had a great 15 minute NFL, CFL, AFL Aussie Footy League interview yesterday with Tim Hendrix on his Sports radio show in Monroe, New Orleans Saints area. I talked lots of AFL especially encouraging the listeners to support the St Kilda Saints in the AFL finals. As always many US listeners don't know about AFL and think it's rugby so we talked about Daren Bennett now with the Vikings and some of the rules of the great game that we know it to be." Myk Aussie

Mon, July 12 04 "Maybe these guys are tough playing in the Bronx! Denver 10.7 67 defeated the Magpies 5.6.36 in The Bronx! The Pap Smears win Big! AFL Rd 15 Results!

Maybe these Magpie guys are tough playing in the Bronx! Wow! That would sound scary to many Aussies as some were scared to go past the Gawler Bypass as we used to say to Gawler Sth Lions legends that never ventured out of Lionland. The Magpies faced the Denver Bulldogs on Saturday July 10 at Van Courtland Park.  Two games were held

• 11 am: A MetroLeague style game first.  This may not be going on … we’re still working on it.

• 12 pm: Magpies v. Bulldogs. The big game!

Denver won the USAFL Nationals last year, and is considered the best team in the USA.  They also beat us last year when we traveled to Denver. However, they recently lost to Arizona, so they will be desperate to prove it was a fluke.

Sat, July 10 04 "The New York Magpies to HELP USA beat boring Canada they are saying! AFL Rd 15 has started! The Calgary Kangaroos to take on the Vancouver Cougars in the BC Cup Aug 7! 

"New York Magpies to HELP USA beat boring Canada" More to come on these Amazing comments! But it Seems the USA "Revolution" footy players from New York think Canadians are "Too friendly! They like helping people! They don't J-Walk! They're cities are too clean and they have socialized health care. Boring." 

Well, well, well! Wow! I'll say this I bet many of the Canadian and Aussie Rulers footy players up in Canada are like me! Enjoying great snowboarding, skiing, boating, hiking, camping, going to great CFL games and while doing this being in the company of some of the best ladies in the World or as I say great Cwoc's Cool Women Of Canada.
