Talent Offensively the contributions by the departing players were great, highlighted by team captain Sean Robertson finishing third in the league in points. Fifth-year vets Ken McKay and Sheldon Nedjelski gave the Dinos a consistent attack throughout the season. There were injuries that affected the blueline this year, however, leaving the team shy a stopper… Continue reading Hockey

A bittersweet hockey departure
The unique experience of helping a team grow and mature, only to see years of hard work go relatively unrewarded is a sad truth for a handful of fifth-year Dinos this spring. After falling yet again to the Golden Bears from Edmonton, the burning reality that their university careers had come to a screeching halt… Continue reading A bittersweet hockey departure
That’s all folks!
In the hierarchy of nature, a bear isn’t supposed to be able to bend over a dinosaur. Nature freaks will be startled to learn, then, that this implausible scenario happened–yet again–in Edmonton Mar. 5-6. A masterful pair of performances over the southern rival hockeysaurs have the University of Alberta Golden Bears moving on to face… Continue reading That’s all folks!
Picking feathers from their teeth
Jack Frost’s excursion to Hades has been called off for yet another year, as the nation’s tenth-ranked University of Calgary hockeysaurs narrowly thwarted the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds, advancing to the second round of the Canada West playoffs Feb. 26-28. After a close call Friday night, the ‘Birds flew in to steal game two… Continue reading Picking feathers from their teeth
T-Birds walk home with broken wings
If the 25 minute intermissions and snail speed zamboni were any indication of the excitement of the Dinos men’s hockey team’s matchup with the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds Feb. 20-21, what few fans were at the games would have surely stayed home. Fortunately for the die-hards in attendance, the slow start to the weekend… Continue reading T-Birds walk home with broken wings
Skating circles around the ‘Horns
Seeing that the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns couldn’t play nice Feb. 6-7, the hockeysaurs made them sorry they even played at all. The Dinos rolled into the barn in Lethbridge on Friday night and, much to the disappointment of the antelope loving yokels in attendance, the Dinos laid tracks back to Calgary with a 4-2… Continue reading Skating circles around the ‘Horns
Shitting the bed like senior citizens
This last weekend for the men’s hockey squad was one mallet stroke away from a complete gong show. Against the University of Manitoba Bisons, they earned only one of a possible four points and accumulated 99 minutes in penalties over two games, so it is not surprising the Dinos no longer find themselves in the… Continue reading Shitting the bed like senior citizens
Hockeysaurs dole out beatings like candy
We’re #9, which is better than not being ranked at all to those of you snickering. After a 5-4 win coupled with a 7-0 romp the following night, the Dinos vaulted to ninth spot in the Canadian Interuniversity Sport top ten rankings, and moved into sole possession of second place in Canada West’s Mountain Division. Led… Continue reading Hockeysaurs dole out beatings like candy
Loncan’s scoring frenzy
Already in his fourth year, hockeysaur Adam Loncan has dutifully filled the role of a strong two-way forward who occasionally found the back of the net. After his offensive eruption against the University of Regina Cougars, however, he may be expected to replace the torched twine. Loncan, a native of Dawson Creek, British Columbia, notched seven… Continue reading Loncan’s scoring frenzy
Horn hunt
In their last series before the holiday break, the Dinos were in the spirit of the season as they generously gave the University of Lethbridge a shiny new pair of losses to add to their already impressive collection. The Dinos, who have really gelled of late, were simply too much for the outmatched Pronghorns. The… Continue reading Horn hunt
