20 the markham economist sun sports saturday june 24 2006 maloney gets an education at tigercats training camp stouffville resident employs new ideas to ba football spring practices by mike hayakawa staff writer brother andre catholic high school cardinals head football coach rick maloney recently went back to school the 48yearold stouffville resident didnt pick up any credits but he did acquire a few pointers which he feels will be valuable once his senior football team kicks off the york region athletic association regular season this fall the veteran head coach recently made a trip to his old stomping grounds in hamilton where he was a guest of tigercats head coach greg marshall during the canadian football league clubs preseason training camp a friend of marshalls from their col legiate gridiron days at the university of western ontario in london mal oney spent eight days at the tigercats camp where he took in practices and was allowed to attend coaches meet ings for maloney it was an eye opening experience i i got to see what they do at the pro fessional level i went and upgraded my abilities i might have put in around rick maloney brother andre chs head football coach was a guest at hamilton tigercats spring training camp this year 100 hours being around people who are at a higher level he said after attending the camp maloney said he incorporated a few things that he learned with his cardinals football club when they ran their recent spring practice the kids were pretty excited with some of the stuff that i brought back maloney said while not revealing full details of what he installed maloney hinted his offence might show some new wrin kles next year we might want to throw the ball a bit more he said maloney was relatively pleased with the performance from the 56 players at the clubs annual twoweek camp noting that he could have as many as eight returning fifthyear players in the lineup maloney anticipates his club could be one of the contenders for the yraa title we have three of five starters back on the offensive line including damien kudelski and john felix and two guys moving up from our juniors who are good and weve got paul lefaive back at either quarterback or running back depending where we use him i feel well be better than last year if we dont average 45 points a game something is wrong with our coaching staff he said about the only disappointment maloney said was in not having the opportunity to conduct a controlled scrimmage against an opponent this would have given maloney a better indication of where his club stands entering fall practice the annual spring game with markham district high school was cancelled since the marauders elected not to run a spring camp this year i even called up some ontario var sity football league teams and some private schools but we couldnt get any games maloney said its unfortunate because you want to build up camp and create some excitement during spring practice by having a
