WATERLOO, Ont. (July 22, 2011) - Two Wilfrid Laurier University football players, one current and one former, were among 23 First Team All-Tournament selections as announced this week by the International Federation of American Football (IFAF) following this month's world championship.

Receiver Shamawd Chambers of Markham, Ont., and linebacker Anthony Maggiacomo of Cambridge, Ont., were two of the seven Canadians named to the first team following their silver medal showing in the country's first-ever appearance at the IFAF Senior World Championships. The USA, who defeated Canada in the championship game, led all countries with 11 first team selections.
