• Redblacks' Ettore Lattanzio anxious to get back on the field

  09-09-2017 02:37 via ottawacitizen.com
  Ettore Lattanzio isn’t the kind of guy who likes to sit on a couch and watch his team play football.
  The 26-year-old former Ottawa Gee-Gees star defensive lineman would much rather be on the field mixing it up, playing with what his coaches call a “high motor.”
  While he was forced to watch on TV while the Ottawa Redblacks beat the Montreal Alouettes 32-4 on Aug. 31, he was anxious to return to the lineup. He’s back Saturday night at TD Place against Hamilton.

  Sometimes in life and in football, it’s about being at the right place at the right time.
  When the opportunity comes, you need to grab it, and hold on like it’s everything.
  It’s just one game into the regime of June Jones as Hamilton Tiger-Cats head coach, but an early perspective would suggest quarterback Jeremiah Masoli and receiver/returner Brandon Banks are getting a chance to grab their opportunity and run with it.

  With just seven of 32 games to go, including Saturday’s away matchup against the playoff-bound Rochester Rhinos, Fury FC’s season is virtually down to seven games of sudden-death soccer.

  Jones is hoping his return visit to the nation’s capital is Step No. 2 in turning around the fortunes of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in 2017.

  Saying that, B-Sens coach Kurt Kleinendorst added he was amused to hear all the talk about Boucher’s mystical on-ice system.
