The Brampton Bears Football Club is proud to announce and make public the 2012 game schedule. All Bears games will be played at Chinguacousy Park Stadium.

2012 marks season three for the Bears and all in the organization are counting on it to be the charm.

With  loads of new on field talent and a host of very dedicated executive and volunteers General Manager Craig Boyd is extremely excited to have the actual dates and times for our games set. “We have been working very hard and bringing in lots of new players that will make this team much better, it’s fun to know who and when we will be playing” says Boyd.

“Our players , coaches and volunteers have stayed focused on growth and massive improvement, it will be exciting to get to it”

When asked about team goals all Boyd would say “we will be better”

“Our commitment is and will always be to continue to grow the organization, provide a high level program for our players and of course win a championship”

All games in Brampton will be an exciting place to be, each game will feature entertainment and lots of energy by our event staff. These coming attractions will be announced in the coming months.

“We would like to make coming to our stadium a very special event for our city and it’s families, we will have lots to offer folks to go along with our new exciting on field product. Improving our on and off field activities is going to be a lot of fun, we want to make Ian Proud” Says Boyd

Referring of course to longtime Brampton Minor Football Association President Ian Smith. “ Ian has Brampton Football in his DNA and all of us want to deliver a winner for him”

Smith has had mountains of success with one of the most successful organizations in the country (BMFA) and the new Bears management and coaches want to add the success of this club to Ian’s accolades.

Look for upcoming player and coaching profiles to be announced along with Bears game packages.

For this weekends sessions Jim Barker the GM of the Toronto Argo’s will be present with staff to begin the process of evaluating players. I confirmed Jim’s attendance earlier this week and I am thrilled that he and his crew will be on site to begin looking for future talent.

Come to the sessions early and be ready to work hard. The season is just around the corner but the future is now.

“With us looking to have a new look going into 2012, we needed someone who could work with our creative team to meet our vision, Dale and his team are a great fit”

Another very important factor in this partnership is that 11th Hour is a Brampton based company. ” I love the fact that Dale is from our neighborhood, I love that he is a Brampton sports fan. This is a great partnership for the Bears” says Boyd
