With 20 years of film-making under his belt, Ken Burns is the creator of several award-winning films. He is best known for his two previous epic documentaries,… Continue reading Ken Burns on film and all that Jazz

Super Bowl XXXV has finally been played, and the consensus is that it wasn’t half bad. After all the hype of the last two weeks, the battle for defensive supremacy was decided as the Baltimore Ravens became this year’s NFL Champion with a commanding 34-7 win over the New York Giants. I say half bad… Continue reading Super Sunday as entertaining as CPAC
Bring on the fire engines and hose ’em down. The Dinos track and field team is burning up Canada West competition without remorse. Calgary travelled all the way to sunny Saskatoon last weekend to participate in the Sled Dog Open–a rather weak meet for all but the pentathletes.

The road-weary Dinos returned home from Saskatoon following a disappointing weekend series where they dropped two straight matches to the University of Saskatchewan Huskies. In doing so, they fell from top spot in the Canada West conference for the first time this year. Friday evening’s match was one to forget for the now-third-ranked Dinos as… Continue reading Men’s Volleyball: Weekend Update
The Dinos’ wrestling teams are perhaps the best looking in Canada West. And even if they’re not–at least they’re at the best. The women’s squad continued to dominate last weekend, keeping their number-one ranking for yet another week. The men came out hungry and redeemed last week’s loss to the University of Alberta.

"All year, we haven’t been getting the level of goaltending that we needed," stated Head Coach Tim Bothwell. "We’ve bent over backwards to give… Continue reading Men’s Hockey: Weekend Update

Let’s say your friend was mauled by a Panda. Weeks later, as their bandaged body staggered across the hospital room with an IV in tow, you’d applaud their rehabilitation efforts rather than insult them, right? Such is the case with the University of Calgary women’s hockey team. On the Jan. 12-13 weekend, they were mauled… Continue reading Women’s Hockey: Weekend Update

Last weekend marked the last time a few familiar phrases will be heard over the loudspeaker at the Jack: "Sarah Williams for three!" and even more often, "Leighann Doan for two!" It was the last regular season home game for the Dinos this season and the last game in Calgary for four of the girls.… Continue reading Harle’s Heros honoured
The Dinos’ men’s basketball team is beginning to look a lot like your grandmother’s patchwork quilt. With three players lost to injury since Jan. 21 and two more before that, they’re down to seven guys, only two of whom are starters. John Woods has been on the sidelines since suffering an MCL injury against the… Continue reading Knees give way to brotherly love
