The Ontario Alpha Particles will be playing more then the traditional 3 competitive games a week. In addition to their Tuesday-Thursday-Sunday matches the Particles will be undertaking in the glorious Champions League International Tournament. Games are Wednesdays starting this week. In the Particles' group are teams from Nicaragua, the USA and Vietnam. The matches will be tough, but everyone has high hopes for the club. "I would have to think we are the favourites of the group. While Colorado Cosmos and Futbol Club 25X are both challenging opponents, if we play well we should be able to finish in the top-2 of the division and advance to the next phase" said Captain Zach Pemberton.

The tournament will help boost the Particle's stature both in the nation and the world. "We expect big things from this tournament. We are already planning a stadium expansion in anticipation of the added fan attendance" said canucks357 the CEO of OAP and also the local Guelph Gryphons hockey club. "We also splashed the cash on a young prospect from Slovakia. He shows great promise and excellent potential. He is very adaptable and can play any position in the midfield and could easily be transitioned to the back-line or front-line. We are very excited about the future of this great organization."

In addition to the Champion's League Cup, the Gryphons will be defending their silver medal finish in the CONCACAF tournament once again. Games will be Monday-Saturday again. This leaves only Friday for non-competitive matches for OAP.

In league news, OAP find themselves atop I.1 table in 1st place. A slightly un-favourable yet favourable schedule has seen the Particles in first place with 4 wins and 1 loss and 1 draw in 6 games. Leading the scoring charge is Ethan Purdon (tied for first in the league) with 4 goals. The next few weeks of games are favourable for the Particles.
