Talent: BThis year’s edition of the Dinos was not a compilation of star players, propelling the team into the playoffs. In fact, the squad boasted only one First Team All-Star selection, that being stalwart defender Brian Newmarch. But despite lacking any dominant talent, the Dinos had no weak spots either. Scoring sensation "Real" David Hernandez… Continue reading Men’s Soccer

Field Hockey
By Ryan Laverty
Talent: B-This team has a certain amount of talent, but for the past few seasons it has been carried along by one or two players.

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
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
