Hurricanes' trio signs with Axemen football team

CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. (The Guardian) - Jaylen McRae was looking forward to a good night's sleep on Tuesday. "It's finally over," the Holland College football player said moments after signing with the Acadia Axemen for the upcoming season. "I weighed a whole bunch of options, lost a lot of sleep trying to figure out exactly where I was going to play for the next couple of years to finish up my collegiate career." The Boston, Mass., receiver and return specialist, who described himself as elusive, said his reason for choosing Acadia was simple.

"Usually people go on a recruiting trip with a checklist, but no, not me. I actually went there just looking to feel at home. I wanted that feeling," he said. McRae is one of three Hurricanes who will call Wolfville, N.S., home at the end of this summer as they start their Atlantic University Sport careers. Eugene McMinns was part of back-to-back Atlantic Football League (AFL) championship teams at Holland College. MORE>
