Dear Lions Family,

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news as we prepare for the 2026 season, the Cambridge Lions continue to build on our tradition of excellence with two incredible coaching announcements!

U16 Team – Welcome Coach Rob Puttock!

The Cambridge Lions are proud to welcome Coach Rob Puttock to the Lions family!

Coach Puttock brings a wealth of experience and leadership to our U16 program. Currently serving as the Offensive Coordinator at St. James Catholic High School in Guelph, he also brings valuable coaching experience from Our Lady of Lourdes, Bishop MacDonell, St. Michael’s College, and the Toronto Jr. Argos.

We’re excited to see his impact on the field and look forward to announcing more of the U16 staff lineup in the coming weeks.

U14 Team – Welcome Back Coach Paulo “Coach P” Castelli!

The Cambridge Lions are equally proud to announce the return of Coach Paulo Castelli (Coach P) as Head Coach of the 2026 OSFL Bantam Team!

Coach P has been a cornerstone of our youth program — leading the U14 team for the past three seasons and previously guiding the U12 squad while serving as Minor Program Director for the Cambridge Minor Football Association.

Beyond the Lions, Coach P continues to inspire young athletes as the Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator for the Jacob Hespeler Junior Hawks. His dedication to developing both players and people — instilling character, discipline, and integrity — embodies what it means to be a Lion.

Please join us in giving a warm welcome to Coach Puttock and a heartfelt welcome back to Coach P as they lead our young Lions into another incredible season of growth, teamwork, and success!

Together, we roar louder every year!
