The University of Calgary men’s soccer team is looking for a few good men. Well, maybe just one. Head Coach Andy Gibbs is choosing a new captain this week and he’s looking for more than just a good player. “Maradonna’s a good player–but would you follow Maradonna? No, he’s an idiot,” said Gibbs in jest.… Continue reading Young and manly, but leaderless

The men’s soccer game on Sat., Sept. 25 against the University of British Columbia T-Birds was “eerily similar” to previous games this season. The Dinos must like it from behind, because they spent most of the game catching up to the T-Birds. The first goal came from a blatantly offside Luke Sandilands of UBC. The… Continue reading Soccersaurs settle for a tie

This past weekend played out like a daytime soap opera for the Dinos men’s soccer team. Their first regular season game, on Sat., Sept. 18 against the University of Saskatchewan Huskies, was entertaining and full of drama with bad acting from the Huskies that wouldn’t even win a “Soapie” award. Huskies’ keeper Jonathon Neufeld was… Continue reading Lovers or fighters?

Talent Short answer: the talent is raw. With a plethora of rookies suiting up this season, the Dinos had many guys who could do a lot with the ball–just not at this level quite yet. Flashes of brilliance from youngsters like keeper Rick Urbanczyk and co-captain Adam MacDonald, among others, offer promise for the future,… Continue reading Report card: Men’s Soccer
