Kendra of the Calgary Stampeders Outriders at the 100th Grey Cup on Sunday
That’s a photo from last Sunday’s Grey Cup, the championship game for the Canadian Football League. Every Grey Cup features cheerleaders from all the CFL teams. They perform at events leading up to the game and the game itself. How awesome would it be if the NFL brought in all their cheerleading squads for the Super Bowl?
The New Orleans Hornets’ Honeybees can dance, but can they cook a Thanksgiving meal? ABC26 decided to put them to the test.
News with a Twist’s Kenny Lopez went to Borgne restaurant where these NBA dancers sweetened things up by adding their special ingredient.
Jamie Woode broke three vertebrae in her back and a rib when she fell backwards while performing with the Orlando Magic Stunt Team. But the dancer said she’s ready to get back out there once she heals. NBC’s Thanh Truong reports, with an interview between Jamie Woode and TODAY’s Erica Hill.

Jamie Woode, 31, a member of the Magic stunt team, spoke to WESH 2’s Amanda Ober on Friday.
Woode, a former UCF cheerleader, fractured three vertebrae and broke a rib in the accident after the first quarter of a game versus the Knicks at Amway Center last Tuesday.
She was taken off the court in a stretcher but was able to wave to fans.
Woode told WESH 2 she is feeling better every day.
When asked if she’d seen the video of the fall, Woode said, “Yeah, I’ve seen it more than I care to admit. But you know, things like this happen, but you can’t dwell on the past.”
Woode explained that her fall was just a bad accident and that she’s not sure why she landed on her fellow performer’s shoulder with only one foot instead of two.
She also said she’s been overwhelmed by the community support.
“I want to thank everyone for the overwhelming amount of support through this whole process. Not only the community, but the entire Orlando Magic organization and the doctors and nurses at ORMC. I feel truly blessed.” said Woode.
After the accident, the University of Florida banned its cheerleaders from performing acrobatic stunts or tumbling during games.
Woode said she was upset that her situation caused that to happen, and she feels “awful” about it.
As for the future of the Orlando Magic Stunt Team, Magic spokesman Joel Glass said they don’t have any performances scheduled at the moment but he does expect them to return to the court before the end of the year.
The Gotham City Cheerleaders has teamed up to raise funds for those affected by hurricane Sandy and has so far donated One Thousand Seven Hundred Dollars ($1,700.00) to the American Red Cross. The GCC will hold their final fundraiser at their tailgate party on Sunday, December 9, 2012 when the Giants play the Saints at MetLife Stadium. The event will take place at Redd’s Restaurant where fans can also stay to watch the game or get shuttled to MetLife.
The Gotham City Cheerleaders host regular tailgate parties at Redd’s Restaurant located on Washington Ave. all season. Redd’s has been a major supporter of the GCC and their recent efforts to help local charities. Every home game appearance since the storm, have been dedicated to raising funds and helping organize volunteer efforts to help those affected by Super Storm Sandy.
The GCC presented the American Red Cross with a donation of $1,700.00 to kick-off the fundraising efforts during the pre-game party versus the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, November 25, 2012.
The GCC participates in various community-conscious events year round and has recently focused their efforts to Sandy relief-related events. They also attended the Restore the Shore alumni football game on November 25, 2012 at Belleville High School that helped raise over $2,000.00 for families of the Belleville and Nutley communities in New Jersey.
So I never got around to posting all my photos from my trip to the Pro Bowl back in 2011. I had a little free time and dug up the photos from the Friday before the game.
Earlier in the day a group of AFC Cheerleaders made an appearance at a local mall:
