The phrase “been there, done that” may be used often, but in the case of Ottawa West Knights Midget coach Jimmy Fata it is soooo applicable. The 2018 Midget Coach of the Year wears/has worn so many “hats” in the Ottawa community it’s almost unbelievable! Here are only of few of those: NCAFA player, Semi-Pro player with the legendary Ottawa Bootleggers, NCAFA coach, OFA Ref, Ottawa RedBlacks super fan, Ottawa Firefighter and really, just a great guy!! It was a great opportunity for us to be able to catch up with Jimmy and chat football and life. Truly one of the good guys it was a lot of fun to talk to such a selfless dude who is giving back where he can and epitomizes what is GOOD about youth football here in the capital. Of course we would be remiss if we didn’t ask Jimmy how the now iconic “Zipper Face” came to be! Thanks for everything you’re doing, we need more Jimmy Fatas!
