Oreskovich born to coach
Coaching football has always been in Rick Oreskovich’s blood.
“As a young kid, I would organize neighbourhood games in the park because I simply loved the sport,” the 60-year-old Niagara Falls native said. “Being an average player in high school, my passion and interest to be involved with the sport once high school was over continued to grow.
“One of the main reasons I went into teaching was to coach football.”
The current head coach of the Saint Paul Patriots senior football team is now into his 33rd year of teaching business and physical education and his coaching career dates back even farther. While still a Brock University student in 1982, he helped coach the Saint Paul junior football team in the school’s first year of existence. In 1987 while attending teacher’s college, helped with the junior team at College Avenue High School in Woodstock.
