Football Report Card

By Chris Pedersen

The Dinos football team met and crushed all expectations fans had this year. They were a young team boasting over 30 first- and second-year players, but they ignored their inexperience and created an extremely impressive season, winning the Hardy Cup. They made it to the national semi-final, losing to eventual Vanier Cup winners Laval Rouge… Continue reading Football Report Card

Men’s soccer Report Card

The University of Calgary men’s soccer squad truly merits two grades, as their season was essentially the tale of two different teams. The first half of the season saw them go 0-5-2 and have a goals scored/goals against differential of minus six, hardly a recipe for a competitive season in the Canada West conference.

Men’s Hockey

By Еvan Osentоn

Talent: BOh, there’s no shortage of talent on this team. It sure is great that Calgary beats UBC and Brandon more often than not, but in order to go anywhere in the CIS they must step up their game. The most pressing area in need of improvement is defence-the team’s Achilles heel. Mike Muzechka managed… Continue reading Men’s Hockey

Track and Field

By Sean Nyilassy

Talent: A-From sprinters to throwers, distance runners to jumpers, the 2001/02 chapter of Dinos track and field proved to the country that they can trade punches with anyone. Be it Canada West Athlete of the Year Samantha Anderson who placed second-and should’ve won the whole damn thing-in the CIS pentathlon, or Darren Clarke who played… Continue reading Track and Field
