Is anything going on down their to continue the improvement over the past few years or are they set up for a slide backwards? I know Coach Throckmorton resigned a few months back, but have not heard of interviews or a new hire. It seems a little late to be trying to hire a coach at this time. Out of division applicants will be tentative to apply because they would have to switch in the middle of the year and not many openings are available in the building. Any word on the interview process or timeline?
Also, I read reports that Halifax is not allowing any type of workouts or lifting for any sport as long as the division is 100% virtual. Isn't this putting teams at a severe disadvantage, not to mention potentially putting the athletes at risk for injury? If Halifax doesn't return to at least a hybrid setting until January, football players will be expected to compete in March with only 2 months of lifting/conditioning prior to playing and with 10 months of non-activity prior to that. To me, that just seems like you are setting the team up for failure and placing the athletes at a high risk of injury...especially when football has become a 12 month sport and all of your competitors have been lifting and conditioning.
On a side forum question...if they aren't blended by December, will Halifax forgo winter sports?
