Report Cards: Women’s Hockey
By Dale Miller
B If I could give marks as compensation for lack of coverage, the Dinos women’s hockey team would get an A–but I can’t, so they get a B.Much thought went into this decision as there were many factors to consider. First of all, they only placed fourth out of the six teams in the ACAC.… Continue reading Report Cards: Women’s Hockey
Report Cards: Track
By Dale Miller
B For a team that describes all of its performances as “good”, they should think that a B grade is, well, good.B stands for the fact that both men’s and women’s teams did pretty much exactly what they were expected to do: second for the women and third for the men at Canada West, and… Continue reading Report Cards: Track
Oh God, not more report cards
B- To say the Dinos men’s hockey team fulfilled all their goals throughout the course of this season would be a stretch of the truth rivaled only by CNN’s journalistic views on the war. However, to say that none of their goals were accomplished would be a flat-out lie. The Dinos’ level of play at… Continue reading Oh God, not more report cards
Who’s entertaining the Gauntlet Sports Editor?
Entertainment, what is it? If I had to relate it to the Dinos, then it would have to be any event that was worth watching, for one reason or another. Whether it was seeing our Dinos completely humiliate their opponents, or the pure joy of being in the stands with a bunch of drunken, rowdy… Continue reading Who’s entertaining the Gauntlet Sports Editor?

Ron MacLean helps the Dinos hit the bank
For once, Canadian broadcasting legend Ron MacLean made some comments he can’t get fired for.“This isn’t the first time we’ve been in trouble with the CBC,” he chuckled to a sold out crowd at the Dinos Football Fifth Quarter Dinner, “and it probably won’t be the last.” MacLean, a Red Deer native and former Calgary… Continue reading Ron MacLean helps the Dinos hit the bank
Simplicity plagues Gauntlet
Editor, the Gauntlet,Re: “You can’t depend on the media,” March 20, 2003. Mary Chan’s comments on the role of the media in modern war were horribly simplistic. In 1991, when the Gulf War was being fought, I engaged in a unique debate via letters to the editor of the Gauntlet that went on in print… Continue reading Simplicity plagues Gauntlet
Report cards do wrong
By Dinos men’s and women’s swim teams
Re: “Report Cards, Swimming,” March 27, 2003, We as a team felt it was necessary to respond to the report card given to all varsity Dinos teams by your newspaper. In particular, we feel that the grade of a B given to the swim team by Karoline Czerski was wholly unrepresentative of our season. We… Continue reading Report cards do wrong
