Argos Host Biz After 5 Fantasy Football Camp

The Oshawa Chamber of Commerce and the Toronto Argonauts hosted the first annual Biz After 5 Fantasy Football camp on Wednesday at University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT). 

More than 50 chamber members enjoyed great food, weather and a once in a lifetime experience to be taught by the pros. They were put through drills led by #26 DB Jordan Younger and Argos draft pick DB Matt Black. They taught everyone about the defensive back position in the CFL, including tip drill, back pedal, and how to read your receiver. New Argos linebacker, and Whitby native, Jason Pottinger had everyone hitting – with the pads of course – and gave them an inside look into the linebacker position. At the third station, the campers turned football pros were cheered on by the 2009 Argos Cheerleaders, presented by the Toronto Sun, as they worked through quarterback and receiver drills. Those drills were led by former Guelph Gryphon and Argos account rep Jaren Hayman – who also happens to be the grandson of the great Lew Hayman.

The experience ended when Younger led the breakdown, telling everyone that working together is the key to a successful season both on and off the field.  Everyone then indulged in a delicious barbeque while networking with each other.  For more information on the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce and how you an get involved please visit www.oshawachamber.com
