The Mount Allison Mounties football program is in it's 56th year of active competition as of the 2011 CIS football season.[4] The team has twice appeared in the Vanier Cup, once in 1984, and again in 1991, losing both times. Recently, the Mounties have made the playoffs three times in the past five years (2007, 2008 & 2010). The Mounties finished second in the AUS conference in 2010 and hosted their first home playoff game (conference semi-finals) since the new millennium.[5] However, their success was short lived as the team finished winless in the 2011 campaign.

Mounties in the CFL

As of opening day of the 2011 CFL season, one former Mounties player is on a CFL team's roster:

Mounties Football Coaching Staff

The Mount Allison Mounties Football team is led by head coach Kelly Jeffrey.

Jeffrey came to Mount Allison after being the head coach and offensive co-ordinator at Mayville State University (MSU) in North Dakota for four years (2002–2005). During those four seasons his team set numerous offensive records for most yards per game and total yards in a season, and he coached the all-time single season record holders for individual rushing, receiving, completions, and passing yards. Overall the school set nine offensive records while producing five Don Hanson All-Americans.[6]

Before MSU in 2001, Jeffrey coached quarterbacks at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) and at the University of San Diego (1998–2000) where he trained three all-conference quarterbacks in his three seasons and coached the all-time leading passer in touchdowns, completions, and yardage. He also coached running backs at Northern State University in Aberdeen, SD (1996–1997) and wide receivers at North Dakota's Dickinson State University (1994–1995), a team that finished with a perfect 10-0 season in 1995, and were conference champions in both 1994 and 1995.[6]

With over 38 years of football playing and coaching experience Annand’s resumé is impressive, ranging from guest coaching appearances with the NFL’s Buffalo Bills and the New England Patriots to a 24-year teaching career at the elementary to senior high school levels in the Truro area. A Master Course Conductor for Football Canada’s NCCP certification program, Annand has served with the minor football program since 1982 and from 1991 has coached with Team Nova Scotia’s Under-19 team. His record speaks for itself as he has won championships both at the developmental levels to five appearances and a pair of victories at the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) Vanier Cup national championships. In 1995 he was recognized with the Phil Hughes Award as the Outstanding Volunteer Coach in the Atlantic University Football Conference.[citation needed]

Annand has been seconded from 13 years of teaching at Cobequid Educational Centre (CEC) to lead the defensive unit of the Mount Allison Mounties. Former physical educator and defensive coordinator with the CEC Cougars, Annand has been a familiar face in the Atlantic University Sport (AUS) football scene for the past 20 years having served as receiver and defensive secondary coach with the X-Men for nine years and 10 years as defensive line coach with the SMU Huskies. Over the past five seasons Annand assisted with the defensive teams for Montreal Alouettes for two years, and the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League (CFL) for the past three.[7]

Top Athletes

Eric Lapointe ('00) (Football) represents more than just records and statistics, although he dominated both areas of the sport during his four years as a Mountie. He was looked to by his teammates for on-field and locker-room inspiration, and he did not disappoint. Drafted by the Edmonton Eskimos, Lapointe ended up with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in 1999 where he rushed for 691 yards during the season, helping his team to the Grey Cup in which he was the game's leading ground gainer. Traded to Toronto, he ultimately ended his career with his hometown Montreal Alouettes. In his final season he was the starting running back in the Grey Cup game. Eric retired with the Alouettes in 2006 after their Grey Cup loss to the BC Lions.[8]

Gary Ross (06-) (Football) The football team’s most valuable player in recent years, Ross had an unprecedented football season in 2009, breaking several school and conference records along the way. Leading the league in most of the special teams and receiving categories, the five-foot-nine Ross was selected as the Atlantic University Sport (AUS) conference’s MVP and was a strong nominee for the nation’s most outstanding player award — the Hec Crighton Trophy. While he narrowly missed this honour he was still recognized with two All-Canadian awards for the second consecutive season. A four-time AUS Player of the Week, he was named both as a first-team Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) All-Canadian inside receiver, and a second-team CIS All-Canadian return specialist. He led the Atlantic conference in receptions (60), receiving yards (818 yards), receiving touchdowns (four), and all-purpose yards (1,423 yards). He has been an all-star receiver and the conference’s top special teams player in each of his four years at Mount Allison, and is now the AUS career leader in receptions (172), receiving yards (2,582), and all-purpose yards (5,990 yards). This season he was the only Atlantic conference player to average over 100 yards receiving per game (102.2 yards per game) and his 60 receptions are also a new AUS single-season record, smashing the previous mark of 48. His 818 receiving yards are a new Mounties’ single-season school record and the fourth highest total in league history. He currently ranks second in AUS history with 1,679 career punt return yards and 1,403 career kickoff return yards.[9]
