In native mythology, thunderbirds are considered supernatural animals of power and strength. Unfortunately, the University of Calgary Dinos field hockey team have 10 reasons to believe that to be true, after the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds outscored the Dinos 10-0 in two games in stormy weather in B.C. Despite the disappointment, Dinos coach Jenn… Continue reading Field hockey team loses two games, but not spirit
For most Calgarians, a trip to the west coast of Canada is a rewarding experience. For the University of Calgary women’s soccer team, it was disastrous.

The Dinos lacked offensive… Continue reading Women soccersaurs still look for first win
The University of Calgary Dinos men’s soccer team took to the road over the weekend needing to secure two wins in order to jump start an otherwise fruitless season of play in Canadian Interuniversity Sport Canada West competition.

Basically, he said that such a tax would not change… Continue reading Letter: Fearful Tax
Editor, the Gauntlet, Your opinion article on the current “invasion” of Pakistan [“Insane invasion,” Cam Cotton-O’Brien, Sept.18, Gauntlet] betrays a staggering lack of understanding of the current conflict.
