Talent: AAs Blondal mentioned earlier this season the women’s team has developed and the Dinos are a stronger all-around team because of it. This year was the first year they had a full roster attending the CIS Championship. With 18 women and 19 men qualified, the team made some difficult decisions and shaved the men’s… Continue reading Swimming
It was December 1998. Then-Dinos Head Coach Cory Russell was in the stands at SAIT’s Christmas Tournament scouting the Mount Royal Cougars when a sharpshooter playing for Grant MacEwan College caught his eye. The six-foot-seven guard/forward was lighting up the opposition with relative ease and Russell began his pursuit."Cory called my coach and asked if… Continue reading Loomis on to bigger and better things

Talent: BThe team’s number one offensive threat was extinguished when quarterback Lincoln Blumell went down with injury on the fifth play of the season. Brent Hargreaves took over and showed his ability to read defences and find receivers despite not having Blumell’s arm. The receivers and running backs are at least on par with any… Continue reading Football

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. Unlike many sports on campus, field hockey is generally dominated by players who take up the game in high school and play more or less recreationally until they get to… Continue reading Field Hockey
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
Talent: AThe 2001 lady Dinos are the 2001 Dutch National Team. The resemblance is uncanny. In both cases, the talent pool is amazing. Striker Katie Lee led the conference with 12 goals in Kluivert-esque fashion. Midfielders Jessie Norrie, Leanne Pelosi and Laura Stinson controlled the flow of the game with such precision it would make… Continue reading Women’s Soccer

Choke is one of those bands that if you like them, you like them a lot, and if you don’t, well, you just don’t."We’re completely a love them or hate them band," say Clay Shea, bass player of the Edmonton-based group. More and more people have discovered Choke’s melodic speed punk sound, and include themselves… Continue reading Edmonton band won’t choke
Things are definitely looking up for the Reverie Sound Revue. One would assume that any band that has only two shows under their belts might be something of an unpolished wreck of musicality. To clear up any sort of misconception, let me just say this: The band came to the interview I asked for after… Continue reading Just two gigs old
The lonesome cowboy is a central figure of Western iconography. He is the man who roams the countryside, patrols the wild frontier land and keeps us all safe. He is rugged and he is quiet. He is the hero of horizons and the king of sundown. Strange then that one such character was raised in… Continue reading Resurrecting cowboy mythology
