Congrats Dinos!!! What a game! So, so happy for Wayne and of course all the players!

The Philpot brothers are uncoverable. My player of the game was Jalen Philpot

The defence was immense. Every single player went out and did their job.

Enjoy the party boys!

Looks like Canada West is going to announce the cancellation of all collegiate fall sports tomorrow. Hockey might be back but it will be shortened.

Sad thing is my cousin's daughter was playing hockey for the UofL, and that's over as the team has basically been put on hiatus.

That’s sad about the football season being cancelled. I worry about the impact on the players who dream of CFL careers.

Haven’t its hockey programs all been shut down permanently?

They reconsidered and said they were going to form a committee to bring them back, but they are now going to have to wait two years.

Teams are going to have to draft now based on players missing their last year. But its going to effect quality of players as a year away from the sport can be devastating in terms of development.


I don't know if any of the senior leagues are going to be playing this year either.

AFL has a tentative start date of June 27th but there is no way that is going to happen.

Some of the players have already moved on to other teams as well. Both teams finished low in the standings last season, it would be tough to even match that after losing players.

Yeah, like I said it was a bit personal to us, my cousins daughter is a really good player, she had left her home in Coaldale to go to a school in Edmonton to continue to get training and get her education. She was hyped to be able to return home so she could play in front of her folks, and after a year the team gets yanked away.

Same. I coached two of the girls and knew a third through her dad. I was pleasantly surprised to see three of them get picked up by other schools (application deadlines for university had all closed by this time) but I really feel for the players going into their final year (s) where it is too late to transfer and still get your degree.

First term sports officially cancelled for 2020 (Football, soccer, etc)

Dual term sports like Basketball, Volleyball and Hockey are postponed til Jan 2021 at the earliest with a decision on that go ahead slated for Oct. 8th.

Disappointing news for sure. My daughter was supposed to be heading to play basketball at TRU this fall. Not sure what will happen now.

sorry to hear that- a close family friend's daughter is playing Vball at TRU and has really enjoyed the experience- obviously it helps if you had a few years of lead up and acclimatizing before this..

Pretty much tells me everything that I need to go in terms of the chances of coaching again this year.
