Excerpt: Anthony Calvillo (born August 23, 1972) is a Canadian Football League quarterback, currently playing for the Montreal Alouettes. He is currently fourth in all-time professional football passing yards. Calvillo was born in Los Angeles, California. While attending La Puente High School, Anthony Calvillo was a two-sport standout in football and basketball. Calvillo spent two seasons at Mt. San Antonio Junior College before transferring to Utah State University in 1992. After a solid junior year as starting quarterback, he had a terrific senior season in 1993. He set a school record with 3,260 yards of total offense in the regular season. He also set a school record with 5 touchdown passes in a single game (he did it twice). With Calvillo leading the offense, USU won the Big West Conference championship for the first time since 1979. The Aggies finished the year with a 42-33 win over Ball State in the Las Vegas Bowl; Calvillo passed for 386 yards and 3 touchdowns to win MVP honors. It was Utah State’s first-ever bowl victory. Anthony started his Canadian Football League career in 1994 with the US expansion Las Vegas Posse. After the Posse folded a year later in the ill-fated CFL US expansion experiment, Calvillo was selected first overall by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the dispersal draft. While in Hamilton, Calvillo served as a backup quarterback to players such as Steve Taylor, and Matt Dunigan. In 1998, Calvillo signed as a free agent with the Montreal Alouettes where he became one of the most outstanding CFL quarterbacks in history. He led the Alouettes to the 2002 Grey Cup for the first time in 25 ye… More: |

Excerpt: Dwayne Johnson (born May 2, 1972) is an American actor, and former professional wrestler also known by his former ring name The Rock and occasionally credited as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Johnson was a collegiate football player, and in 1991, he was part of the University of Miami’s national championship team. He later played for the Calgary Stampeders in the Canadian Football League, but was cut two months into the season. This led to his decision to become a professional wrestler, like his grandfather, Peter Maivia and his father Rocky Johnson. He gained mainstream fame as a wrestler in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), originally known as the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), from 1996 to 2004, and was the first third-generation superstar in that wrestling company’s history. Johnson was quickly given a push in WWE, first as “Rocky Maivia”, and then as “The Rock”, a member of the Nation of Domination. Two years after he joined the WWF, Johnson won the WWF Championship, and became one of the most popular wrestlers within the company for his engaging interviews and promos. In 2001, he began acting and occasionally returned to the ring. His primary focus, as of 2010, is his acting career. In WWE, Johnson was a nine-time world champion, having won the WWF/E Championship seven times (with his last reign being as the WWE Undisputed Champion) and the WCW/World Championship two times. In addition to these championships, Johnson has also won the WWF Intercontinental Championship… More: |

Located at the corner of Wellington and Brock Streets, it is the largest arena owned by the city of Sarnia. It was built in 1948 and is currently home to the Legionnaires of the Western Junior B Hockey League , as well as minor hockey teams and minor hockey tournaments. The Legionnaires have won six championships and launched the careers of nine NHL players, including Hall of Famer Phil Esposito. Sarnia Mayor Mike Bradley credits the Legionnaires with keeping the Sarnia Arena alive. In fact, because the team drew such huge crowds in the 2008-09 season, city council decided to put in new seating, higher glass and to repair the roof. There had been talk of tearing the building down, but that disappeared after the ’09 Legionnaires drew more than 50,000 fans to their games. While used primarily for ice hockey , it is also used for skating lessons, public skating sessions, the circus, high school graduation |
