Desiree Scott is the first name that comes to mind. She's one of the world's best holding midfielders right now. She also comes from a University of Manitoba program that had a great coaching staff while she was playing and now she's one of the coaches there.
Canada's best striker not named Sinclair is also a CIS product: Josee Belanger.
The Dinos haven't produced a national player since Taryn Swiatek. That was awhile back, but they were a fantastic team during that era. A couple of players have been invited to national camps, but have never made the final cut. Without a fulltime coach at the U of C, we likely won't be seeing one in the near future.
Shepherd's a nice guy and a real tactic-first coach. Good luck to him.
