Thunder Getting Ready for 2011 Season


The Regina Thunder will open their 2011 Training Camp this weekend at Scotty Livingstone Field.




Over 80 hopefuls will take to the field Friday night battling for a roster spot on this year’s edition of the Thunder. With 14 - fifth year players returning for training camp, Coach Klempner and his coaching staff will be looking for veteran leadership in their quest for Canadian Junior Football supremacy.



“We have worked very hard in the off season as a team and will have outstanding competition at every position during training camp,” said Klempner. “We lost some very good players this year to graduation and the CIS, but we continue to improve our talent base due to the great minor football programs across Saskatchewan.”



Training camp starts Friday night at Scotty Livingstone Field and ends with the Thunder traveling to Brandon for an exhibition game against Winnipeg on Sunday, August 7.



The Regina Thunder finished the 2010 season at 6-2, which was good enough for second place in the PFC. The Thunder defeated the Calgary Colts 17-6 in the semi finals and earned a chance to play the Saskatoon Hilltops for the Prairie Football Conference Championship. In the PFC Final, the Thunder fell 32-24 to the Hilltops.

I thought that Cody Johnstone was joining the Rams? He was at their spring camp. Is your info correct and he's switched commitments, or have you made an error?
