Cheer Team
Throughout their 50-plus year history the Winnipeg Blue Bomber Cheerleaders have been known by many names. The Bomberettes and The Blue Brigade have made way, since 1996, to the Labatt Blue Lightning Dance Team. The Labatt Blue Lightning Dance Team is widely known for its talent, intelligence, athleticism, style and is one of the most recognized and appreciated dance teams in the CFL. This elite level performance team’s dance repertoire includes a variety of dance styles and is fortunate to work with a professional choreographer throughout the season. The 2011 squad consisted of 26 young women ranging in age between 18 and 35. All team members must complete a minimum of 20 hours of volunteer work and they must make appearances at various community events throughout the province regularly. In addition, all members must pass a written test on the game of football, the CFL and the Winnipeg Football club. The head coach of the 2011 team was Stacey Stone, and her assistant coaches were Melinda Johnson and Mickaela McAuliffe.

“Yes, lad, I lie easy,

Never ask me whose.”

“giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle,
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night.””
—Clement Clarke Moore (1779–1863)
