Cornwall Leading the Way Nationally as Women’s Tackle Football Continues to Grow
Women’s tackle football has seen exponential growth in recent years, and Cornwall is playing a significant role both locally and nationally. With interest growing among girls in the area, École secondaire catholique La Citadelle and St. Joseph’s Secondary School first fielded 6v6 tackle football teams in 2024, becoming two of only six schools in Ontario to do so. Longtime Cornwall Wildcats coach and La Citadelle principal Dan Legros leads the La Citadelle team, while Wildcats coach Aaryn Purdy heads up the St. Joseph’s squad.
