The historically mediocre University of Calgary women’s hockey team surpassed “Our” Lord’s expectations by reaching the Alberta College Athletic Conference final during their playoff run last March. Following a heartbreak loss to the Mount Royal College Cougars, Head Coach Julie Healy had only one comment regarding this season. “This is where we ended; we start… Continue reading Cougar infiltrates Dinos shower room

“We’re bigger, we’re deeper, and we’re a year older.” Women’s basketball Head Coach Shawnee Harle’s words are filled with meaning. Because you are stoopid, we will tell you that meaning: An import of height or growth hormones has left the team taller than ever. There is enough talent for red-shirts this year, keeping everyone hungry… Continue reading Six rookie ballers to make things right

As we sit back and reflect on the penultimate weekend of the University of Calgary women’s basketball team’s season, we wonder how the Dinos keep surprising us by lowering their standards and falling victim to teams such as the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns. Though Fri., Feb. 6 resulted in a W, had the opposition been… Continue reading In Father Time’s bad books

Talent Sure, you’ve got your Canada West First-Team All-Star Tanya Hautala, who drained 41 points in one game against the University of Saskatchewan Huskies. But there’s also rookies Michelle Willson and Courtney Coyle, who led the team in scoring and rebounds on multiple occasions. Their presence will ensure there’s no lack of talent on this… Continue reading Report Card: Women’s Basketball

Talent Okay, so the ladies didn’t have anyone in the top 15 for points. Sure, both of their goaltenders had goals against averages above 4.00–the two worst averages in the ACAC for goalies that played in more than 30 per cent of games. But who said scoring points and stopping goals defined talent? No? Tough… Continue reading Report Card: Women’s Hockey

Talent Tanya Hautala was hot a lot this season, scoring the third most points per game in Canada West and sixth most in the country with an average of 18.7. She earned CW and Canadian Interuniversity Sport Athlete of the Week when she almost single-handedly took down the University of Alberta Pandas, scoring a blistering… Continue reading Report Card: Women’s Basketball

Talent Ummm… ahh… Shauna Raugust was pretty good with the most points on the team. Beth Nerland had seven goals, which is pretty neat. But with no team members in the top 15 for points in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference, there is little more to say. Effort What the team lacked in aptitude, they… Continue reading Report Card: Women’s Hockey

Faced with the 20-0 Simon Fraser University Clan in the Canada West quarter-finals, calling the 9-11 Dinos women’s basketball team under-dogs would be an under-statement. After squeaking into the final playoff spot by winning their final two games, our ladies were forced into a best-of-three series against the nation’s top team in their Vancouver lair,… Continue reading Like a hummingbird fighting a gorilla

After a season turning-point first win Jan. 22 against the Grant MacEwan College Griffins, the Dinos women’s hockey team went like a record baby, right round baby, right round. Their first rotation was back into uncharted territory, a 3-2 last-minute loss to the top-ranked team in the ACAC. The Red Deer College Queens paid a… Continue reading Lady Dino hockey’ers “throne” out of contention

Well that was a waste. The 30 bones we spent on a three-nippled fortune teller and her crystalline-like ball told us what we already knew would happen. As predictable as not the weather, the Dinos dropped one to the top-ranked Simon Fraser University Clan and defeated the bottom dwelling Trinity Western University Spartans Jan. 28-29.… Continue reading I think I clan…
