AUS CHAIR AND EXECUT IVE

D IRECTOR’S WELCOME

Dear AUS student-athletes, coaching staff, sponsors and fans,

On behalf of the Atlantic University Sport Board of Directors, I would like to welcome everyone to a new and very special AUS season. The 2013-2014 academic year will see the continuing progress of our recent strategic plan, Inspiring Leaders, which celebrates the success stories

of our student-athletes turned community leaders. Through this plan, our association is striving to encourage today’s student-athletes to become tomorrow’s role models and you have likely seen this message proudly displayed at AUS venues and included in our promotional material.

I believe our conference offers student-athletes a distinct university experience. AUS sponsors and fans know that we enjoy some of the best, most intense amateur sports competitions in Canada. Our elite student-athletes compete

fi ercely on behalf of each of our 11 institutions but also ably represent our entire conference on a national level through fair play, honesty and integrity. Inspiring Leaders reinforces these ideals and reminds us of the tremendous potential within each of these young men and women.

It’s exciting to be part of the AUS and even more exciting to be part of an organization committed to celebrating the successes of our student-athletes and contributing to our communities. I’m looking forward to a sensational year ahead and I want to thank every one of our member institutions for their continued support of AUS.

Wishing you every success in 2013-14,

Ray IvanyChair, Board of DirectorsPresident and Vice-Chancellor, Acadia University

Once again, much has transpired since our last AUS Sports Annual. We are now in the second year of the implementation of our three-year strategic plan.

We have grown as an organization and added a fourth member to our offi ce team. Katie Arbuckle has come aboard as our coordinator of business development and marketing and has

already become an invaluable member of the AUS team.

Every year I mentioned how incredible our student-athletes are. This year, we have continued to show this by celebrating them in all of our public and internal messaging as our greatest and most important attribute.

Atlantic University Sport and its members do not take the task of creating Canada’s ultimate student-athlete experience lightly. There is much growing to do to achieve this goal and we are certainly up for the challenge.

We are very excited to be telling our story, which is a story of leadership. As our student-athletes develop in their leadership roles, not only within their sport, but within their communities, they are ultimately developing into the leaders of tomorrow. A signifi cant part of our role as administrators, coaches and institutions is to inspire leaders within our population of student-athletes and to continue to create an environment that fosters leadership and great citizenship.

I am very proud of our organization for being able to see the possibilities before us. We share in a vision to not only enhance the experiences of our student-athletes, but to offer the best student-athlete experience in the country.

Atlantic University Sport is “Inspiring Leaders.”

Sincerely,

Phillip M. CurrieExecutive DirectorAtlantic University Sport

STUDENT-ATHLETE SPOTL IGHT: OWEN KLASSEN,

ACADIA UNIVERSITY – BASKETBALL

With a university career that has included three summers of international play, fi fth-year Acadia men’s basketball centre Owen Klassen has accomplished what most might hope to achieve only after their university career.

Named as a CIS all-Canadian, AUS all-star and as the AUS’s defensive player of the year for the last two seasons, Klassen enters his last year with Acadia as one of the most accomplished Axemen in recent history.

After his second season with the Axemen, Klassen was scouted and invited to attend Canada Basketball’s university development team camp that eventually participated in the 2011 Universiade Games in China.

His fi rst international experience in China resulted in a Team Canada silver medal win. Two years later, Klassen sees this experience as one of his most memorable and fulfi lling after this year’s developmental team’s fourth-place fi nish in Russia at this past summer’s FISU games.

“At the time I didn’t really realize what an accomplishment it was, but playing in China in 2011 and having the chance to win a medal is probably the one experience that I will not forget,” said Klassen. “The reason I say I didn’t realize at fi rst was because our team was upset that we had lost in the fi nals, but now that I have had a chance to return to the university games this summer, I realize how diffi cult the road to a medal really is.”

Following his trip to China in the summer of 2011, Klassen participated in the Pan Am Games in Mexico in October of 2011. Last summer, he joined the national senior men’s Team Canada training camp in Portland, Oregon.

“I think that any summer where you are playing a lot of basketball will make you a better player,” said Klassen of his second Universiade experience. “In this case I was playing against an even higher level of competition than I was used too. Not only in the games, but day-in and day-out in practice too.”

“There are many things that I will have to do to continue excelling at this level,” he added. “But to see all my hard work beginning to pay off gives me the confi dence and motivation that will help me continue training hard through this year”.

The recruitment of Klassen to Acadia was a well-orchestrated event in itself. Head coach Steve Baur understood the importance of capturing the Kingston, Ont. native’s attention, hoping he could be a staple for a program that captured the CIS silver medal in 2007-2008.

During the second half of the 2008-09 regular season, over 200 fans wearing t-shirts reading “We want Owen” welcomed Klassen on his recruiting trip to War Memorial Gymnasium on the Acadia campus. Once Klassen committed to the Axemen, fans wore t-shirts reading “We got Owen” later in the season.

The 6-foot-11 forward has demonstrated the ability to play the post and also offers the fi nesse of a perimeter shooter. Praising his athletic abilities and leadership skills, Baur knows that he captured

one of the best university players in the country. “Owen has a great skill set that allows him to impact the game in many ways,” he said. “He has the skills to handle the basketball, create off the dribble, and be a facilitator. His athleticism and anticipation allow him to guard multiple positions and challenge shots.”

The two-time academic all-Canadian has big ambitions for life after basketball. “Over the last four years I have also put in the effort in the classroom in order to leave with a degree and the prerequisites to enroll in a graduate program when I am no longer able to play.”

In the meantime, Klassen has realistic aspirations of playing professional basketball. “I will attempt to fi nd an opportunity to make my lifelong dream come true; to make money doing something I love,” said Klassen. “Nobody ever wants to give up playing the sport that they love, and fortunately it seems like I have put myself in a good situation to make a career out of it.”

Getting to know Owen Klassen

Who are your biggest infl uences?“It’s hard not to mention my parents. My mom and dad have in-vested not only their money, but also their time and energy in order to give me an opportunity to train. They also taught me the value of hard work and have fostered my dedication and work ethic. Without their support, I don’t think any of this would have been possible. It’s nice to know they are behind me the whole way.”

Tell us a bit about your coach.“I’m glad to have had the chance to play under a coach who puts as much effort into his job as I do to mine. His dedication to the team is unmatched in my eyes and it’s impossible to not work hard, in all aspects of my life, when you see the almost conta-gious effort that he puts into our program. I appreciate every-thing that he has done for me and it will be a sad day when I play my last game under him.”

SELWAY INDUSTRIES


At CARE, we’ve found that the poorest

parts of the world are, invariably, places

where women are still marginalized and

not allowed a significant role.

That’s why CARE today has embarked on

a mission of global women’s empower-

ment. To educate girls, and provide

opportunities that will unleash the

power women have to bring change to

these areas.

But often, we have to be creative in

how we do that. Loki, who lives in a

remote Ethiopian village, has big

dreams. But she also has to tend her

family’s herd of cattle and goats. If

not, her family will suffer. She often

walks 20 miles a day in search of water

and grasslands. So rather than bring

Loki to school, we bring school to Loki.

We’re establishing schoolrooms in

nomadic villages that offer flexible

hours, and move as the village moves.

Someday soon, girls like Loki will do

remarkable things in Ethiopia. We’ll

keep finding ways to open the doors.

We’re trying to create a world where

every person has the opportunity to

realize their potential. Because, in the

end, that’s the key to truly ending

injustice and poverty.

STUDENT-ATHLETE SPOTL IGHT: IAN GREEDY,

CAPE BRETON UNIVERSITY – MEN’S SOCCER

Examine his soccer resume and you might think Lower Sackville, N.S. native Ian Greedy was born kicking a soccer ball. And the truth isn’t far off.

“I started playing soccer at a very young age, about four or fi ve years old,” said Greedy. “Both of my parents are from England and soccer is a big part of my family. I would say, as a kid, I always had a soccer ball at my feet kicking it

around my house and in the backyard with my friends or on my own.”

The fourth-year Capers forward has come a long way from humble beginnings playing in a co-ed Timbits soccer league at age four or fi ve. “I trained with the National Training Centre Atlantic for about four years and I played on the provincial team since U12 until the Canada Games in PEI in the summer of 2009,” he said.

It was shortly after the 2009 Canada Games that Greedy decided to play for the Cape Breton Capers. “I made the decision to go to CBU because I knew that the team had a great group of players,” said Greedy. “Watching them play in the AUS playoffs that year made me very excited to join the team and play with these players from all over the world.”

CBU men’s soccer head coach Robbie Chiasson was happy to have him. “Ian is very coachable and quickly digests information given to him,” said Chiasson. “He is able to adapt to different situations quickly. He always plays the game with intensity, but he is a fair player who has respect for opponents.”

Greedy was an impact player for the Capers right away, leading the conference in goals in his fi rst season with the team with 11, collecting AUS rookie of the year honours and being named to the AUS fi rst team all-star squad in 2010.

He was named an AUS fi rst team all-star again in 2011 and added CIS second team all-Canadian honours to his resume that same year.

This past season, Greedy led the conference in goals with nine and in shots with 45. He was named to the AUS fi rst team all-star squad for the third time and this year, took home the conference most valuable player award.

He also became Cape Breton’s all-time leading scorer this season with 34 career goals.

Greedy is perhaps best known for performing well under pressure. “Ian is an intense competitor that has the unique ability to elevate his game when the level of competition increases,” said coach Chiasson. “He has more goals per game in playoffs than in regular season. He can recognize the importance of a situation and usually responds with a game-changing play or goal on the fi eld.”

“It wasn’t always my best quality,” admitted Greedy. “But as I gained more and more experience, this attribute of my game has improved a lot. Pressure does help me and motivate me during important games because I know what I am capable of and I know that I can make a big difference on the outcome of any game.”

Getting to know Ian Greedy

Where are you from?“I grew up in Lower Sackville, N.S.; my parents are both from Bristol, England, which is where most of my family still lives.”

What has been your most memorable moment playing for CBU?“It would have to be last year when we won the AUS [cham-pionship], made it to the fi nal of CIS and came home with a national silver medal. It was such an amazing feeling because we barely got into the playoffs. We had to win our last four or fi ve games to make it and once we were there, we played the best soccer as a team and the momentum took us all the way to the CIS fi nal.”

Coach Chiasson on a standout memory of Ian:“At some point in the past, Ian had told me of all the accom-plishments he had achieved, he had never won a medal. Two years ago in Victoria, B.C., with just minutes remaining in the game, Ian scored a beautiful goal against Alberta to earn the fi rst ever national medal for CBU men’s soccer and himself.”

STUDENT-ATHLETE SPOTL IGHT: MAGGIE L I ,

DALHOUSIE UNIVERSITY – WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL

Dalhousie Tigers women’s volleyball middle Maggie Li had the deck stacked in her favour from a young age. Now 6-foot-1, the Beijing, China native’s height is what fi rst made people seek her out to play sports.

“I was the tallest girl in every class when I was in China,” said Li. “So when I was in Grade 2, the gym teacher asked me to join the track and fi eld team and my sports career started then.”

Li’s volleyball career would begin a few years later in the seventh grade. She began playing in Beijing for her school team. “Our coaches were very strict and demanding, but very good,” she said. “We spent months and months learning fundamental skills.”

Learning the basics wasn’t as exciting as she’d hoped. “It was very dull. But I realized how important the fundamental skills are,” she explained, adding that it wound up being well worth her while to perfect the basics.

At the age of 14, Li moved to Prince Edward Island where she continued to play volleyball. A few years later, she decided on Dalhousie University for her post-secondary education. “Dal has a very high reputation internationally,” said Li of her choice to move to Halifax, adding that its proximity to her new home in P.E.I. added to the appeal.

Her sport also factored into her decision. “I knew that after Coach Rick Scott started coaching, the team had gotten better every year,” said Li. “So I felt the volleyball program would be very strong.”

Coach Scott was impressed with Li from the get-go. “Moving to Canada from China and learning a new language, culture and making new friends is not an easy thing to do,” said Scott. “And she has done a great job not only adapting but thriving and excelling in her schoolwork, sports and community.”

Li earned AUS rookie of the year honours in her fi rst year with the Tigers during the 2011-12 season and was named to both the all-rookie team and the fi rst team all-star squad that same year. The following season, she was named an AUS fi rst team all-star again and added CIS second team all-Canadian honours to her volleyball resume.

“Maggie’s biggest strengths are her attacking and her blocking,” said Coach Scott. “She is a very strong physical player that is very quick for her size. She is also an excellent server and has been a real weapon for our team.”

“I hope I am best known for being the player who can make a difference when our team is struggling or is able to score points when the scores are tight,” said Li. Her stats show she is just that.

Ranked fi rst in the conference with a hitting percentage of .347 after a semester of play in the 2013-14 season, Li also currently sits fi rst in blocks and blocks per set, second in kills per set and third in total kills.

“I think Maggie will be an outstanding player for the Dalhousie Tigers for fi ve years and one of the top players in the AUS and CIS,” predicted Scott. “I believe she will have the opportunity to play on our Canadian national women’s volleyball team. But from speaking with her, she is more focused on her business career and does not plan on pursuing the national team.”

Li says she plans to pursue an MBA following her undergraduate degree if her marks allow. “If not, I would like to start my own business and hopefully grow it into an international company,” she said explaining that this would allow her more chances to visit China.

But for now, Li has high hopes for her team this year. “Our goal is always winning the AUS championship,” she said. “With the experience from last year’s nationals, we will be more prepared to play some strong teams and I hope to win some games at nationals.”

STUDENT-ATHLETE SPOTL IGHT: ANGELA PEDDLE ,

MEMORIAL UNIVERSITY – WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL

For fi fth-year Sea-Hawks women’s volleyball middle Angela Peddle, winning certainly isn’t everything.

“It’s not all about the end goal of winning, or beating your personal best,” said Peddle. “It’s about your love for the game. As long as you love it, no matter how badly you play, you’ll have good memories and something positive to say about it.”

Now in her second year of nursing, the St. John’s native adopted this philosophy of having fun and not taking herself too seriously early in her playing career.

“My earliest volleyball memory is of a tournament in Grade 8 where we all dressed up in ridiculous hats and outfi ts and did dances and cheered the whole tournament,” said Peddle. “That moment taught me that you can have fun and smile while playing sports.”

Peddle said she didn’t take volleyball all that seriously until much later in her career than most.

“Volleyball didn’t become important to me until my friend and current teammate Adrienne Penney convinced me to try out for the National Team Challenge Cup in 2008, the summer before I was to start university,” she explained. “On that team I started to realize that I really loved the sport and wanted to keep playing.”

Her late start caused some nerves in her early days with the Memorial Sea-Hawks. “Trying out for the Hawks was terrifying,” admitted Peddle. “I had barely watched a university game, let alone tried out for a team with such high-calibre athletes. It was an intimidating experience.

But Peddle made the team and quickly found her groove, bringing her positive attitude to the table with her new team. “I’ve learned not taking the game so seriously has led me to become a better player because I’m more relaxed and able to let go of my mistakes so that I don’t repeat them,” she explained. “I fi nd that this calmness can spread to my teammates and help them too.”

The now veteran player often gets her team involved in volunteering and community outreach. “Outside of school and sports, I volunteer. I coach, ref and get involved in anything I can,” said Peddle. “Most times I drag my team along, helping us win the Sea-Hawks Cup three years in a row now.”

The Sea-Hawks Cup is awarded by Memorial to the sports team with the most volunteer hours and the highest grades.

Despite her competitive nonchalance, Peddle has been an impact player for the Sea-Hawks on the court as well as off. Last year, she was named to the AUS fi rst team all-star squad for the fi rst time in her playing career.

But her priorities for herself and her team remain the same as they always have. “My hopes are to come together as a team, play with heart and passion and leave everything we have on the fl oor every game,” said Peddle. “As long as we do those things, I don’t care if we win a single match.”

Getting to know Angela Peddle

Where are you from?“I was born in Brampton, Ont., but moved to St. John’s when I was a year old and I’ve lived here ever since.”

What has been your most memorable moment playing for Memorial?“By far the most memorable moment was hosting the AUS playoffs during our fi rst match against Moncton. The atmosphere was exhilarating. You could feel everyone’s emotions from the stands. Also, seeing such a large part of the community out to support us was an indescribable feeling.”

What do you hope to do with your degree once you graduate from Memorial?“I’m not positive yet; I still have a lot of areas to experience. But, so far the top contenders are occupational health nursing, community health nursing or operating room nursing.”

STUDENT-ATHLETE SPOTL IGHT: MARYA PETERS ,

MOUNT ALL ISON UNIVERSITY –

WOMEN’S SWIMMINGTo some student-athletes, it

might seem a funny concept to be coached by one of their parents, but for Mount Allison Mounties swimmer Marya Peters, this is simply the way it’s always been.

“My father is the coach at Mount A. and has been my coach for most of my life,” explained Marya. “He is a good coach and I have done well swimming for him. I know the routine and I am used to hard work.”

“My father has been coaching swimming since before I was born,” continued the Sackville, N.B. native. “He started coaching me when I was 11. He coached the older kids, so before that I had other coaches.”

The 20-year-old psychology student has been swimming since before she can remember. “My mother taught me how to swim before I could walk,” she said. “I’ve always been able to swim. I remember always loving the sport.”

Marya swam for the Sackville Swim Club as a child. In 2009, she made the New Brunswick Canada Games team and qualifi ed for senior nationals that same year.

In her fi rst year swimming for Mount Allison, she was named rookie of the year for the Mounties.

She described this accolade and one particular AUS swim meet from the 2012-13 season as the most memorable moments she has experienced competing for Mount Allison so far. “Last year, I made CIS in two events and broke three Mount A. records in the 200m freestyle, 100m freestyle and 100m backstroke,” said Marya.

“Marya is a fi erce competitor, very determined and driven,” said Mounties swimming head coach John Peters of his team member and daughter. “She is self-motivated and always wants to do her very best.”

Like his daughter, John has come to view coaching his own children as nothing out of the ordinary. “All four of my children are competitive swimmers and have swam for me since they were quite young,” he explained. “The three oldest (including Marya) swam last year for Mount A. and were all named AUS all-stars. All four children were members of various Canada Games teams and qualifi ed for national events.”

Their formula for family success is simple. “The unwritten rule at our house is leave it at the pool,” said Coach Peters. “We do not talk about swimming at home.”

Marya is also a member of the Mount Allison ACAA cross country team and has been named an ACAA all-

star in her last two seasons with the team.

After her time at Mount Allison has come to an end, Marya hopes to complete a master’s degree in social work at Dalhousie University and later pursue a career in the fi eld.

“I would like to see her swim that year,” admitted Coach Peters. “But, it’s a long way out.”

For the time being, Marya has her sights set on goals in her more immediate future. “I hope to qualify for CIS once again and make a fi nal swim at CIS,” she said. “I hope to help our relay team place in the top three.”

And lastly, “I hope the team does well this year,” said Marya. “We have good swimmers and a great team.”

Getting to know Marya Peters

What do you like to do for fun?“I love to travel. I’ve been to many places: France, Bermuda, Belgium, the Netherlands, Calgary, Florida, Arizona and some other places. I like to spend time with friends, going camping, hiking and roasting marshmallows. I love the beach and playing tennis, soccer and biking.”

What are you best known for in the water?“My strokes are backstroke and freestyle; I am a sprinter so I do all the fast, short events.”

Coach John Peters on a favourite memory of Marya learning to swim:“When Marya fi rst started to race (she was quite young, age 8 or 9), she used to hold her breath, take about 10-12 strokes and then roll onto her back to breathe. It was quite funny to watch her go from front to back about six or seven times a length.”

TRADE CENTRE L IM ITED: THE AUS PARTNERSHIP

WITH THE HAL IFAX METRO CENTRE

CONTINUES TO THRIVE

There is a proud and longstanding relationship between Atlantic University Sport and Trade Centre Limited which has now been ongoing for decades.

The Halifax Metro Centre has been the hosting site of the Subway AUS men basketball championships and formerly, of the CIS Final 8 men’s basketball championship, for so many years that one was seldom mentioned without the other.

“When the national audience thinks of university sports, they automatically think of Halifax and the Metro Centre because of our legacy of hosting,” says president and CEO of Trade Centre Limited, Scott Ferguson. “Because of our success regionally and nationally, we continue to draw large, enthusiastic crowds and have sold out on a number of occasions.”

Although the national basketball championship is now making its way across the country, being hosted at various sites, the AUS is more proud than ever before of the time and dedication that goes into the hosting of the Subway AUS men’s basketball championship at the Halifax Metro Centre every March.

This is a marquee event in the region, and it would not be possible without the thriving ongoing partnership that AUS is thrilled to have with Trade Centre Limited.

“What can we say about TCL?” asks AUS executive director Phil Currie. “They are wonderful partners to us year round. And every year, they work with us during the Subway AUS men’s basketball championship to make it not only consistently successful, but consistently better each year.”

“As the largest sports and entertainment facility in Atlantic Canada, we are proud of our partnership with AUS and the role we play in furthering AUS events,” said Ferguson. “There has been a natural partnership from the beginning. Halifax is a proud university centre and we have always excelled in the national sporting scene.”

Ferguson says the Halifax Metro Centre prides itself on bringing people in the community together,

“and AUS helps us do that,” he adds. “Halifax has many university alumni and fans who love coming back to the AUS basketball games year after year. There is a high demand for university sports in this city and we’re proud to work with the AUS organization to showcase so many young, talented players.”

For Ferguson, this partnership isn’t all business either. He has many fond personal memories of creating unforgettable events with AUS at the Halifax Metro Centre.

“There are so many great memories, but one that stands out in my mind is the CIS men’s basketball championship fi nal in 1999 between the Saint Mary’s Huskies and the Alberta Golden Bears,” he recalls.

The nail-biting game went into overtime. “As the fi nal shot by Saint Mary’s was made, the ball went into the air and it was like slow motion – a very intense moment. The fans were on the edge of their seats,” he continues. “The ball went in and the Saint Mary’s Huskies won the national championship.”

“The energy in the building was electric and the building erupted with cheers from the crowd. It was a wonderful experience shared by thousands of Nova Scotians and Canadians and is still talked about today,” he concludes.

AUS looks forward to the opportunity to continue partnering with the Trade Centre Limited team to create many more memorable moments at the Halifax Metro Centre.

STUDENT-ATHLETE SPOTL IGHT: ROXANE PELLET IER ,

UN IVERSITÉ DE MONCTON – WOMEN’S SOCCER

La joueuse de centre de l’équipe de soccer féminin de l’Université de Moncton Roxane Pelletier a le don de se fi xer des objectifs et de les atteindre.

C’est à la préadolescence que la jeune fi lle native de Petit-Rocher, au Nouveau-Brunswick, a décidé de s’améliorer au soccer. “J’ai commencé à prendre le jeu plus au sérieux vers 12 ou 13 ans, affi rme-t-elle. Je me souviens quand j’ai commencé à m’entraîner en me

servant de mon pied gauche. Je frappais la balle à répétition contre notre vieux garage.”

“J’avais peint une maquette de gardien sur le garage et des cibles dans les coins, précise-t-elle, en expliquant comment sa passion pour le sport a réellement pris naissance à ce moment-là. J’ai beaucoup de très bons souvenirs de cette époque-là.”

Ses efforts n’ont pas tardé à porter fruit : elle s’est mérité la chance de représenter sa région aux Jeux de l’Acadie. “Ces Jeux m’ont servi de tremplin pour participer aux équipes provinciales Chaleur AAA des moins de 14 ans et des moins de 18 ans et aux Jeux d’été du Canada”, de continuer Roxane.

À l’âge de 18 ans, elle représentait le Nouveau-Brunswick aux Jeux d’été du Canada 2009. “Nous avons tellement appris au sujet des tactiques et des aspects psychologiques du jeu. J’en suis venue à apprécier le soccer d’une autre façon, avec plus de maturité”, de dire l’athlète. Tout de suite après les Jeux du Canada, elle a commencé à jouer avec l’équipe des Aigles Bleues.

“Je voulais étudier dans une université francophone et dès mon arrivée sur le campus de l’Université de Moncton, je me suis sentie chez-nous - la culture acadienne est omniprésente”, affi rme-t-elle. Elle ajoute avoir été infl uencée dans sa décision par le fait que plusieurs des athlètes avec qui elle jouait depuis la catégorie moins de 13 ans se dirigeaient également vers Moncton.

“Après cinq ans, nous sommes toujours ensembles et partageons des souvenirs incroyables”.

Roxane s’est inscrite au baccalauréat en science avec spécialisation en chimie avec l’ambition de se faire accepter en médecine. Il s’agit d’un autre objectif qu’elle a réussi à atteindre.

Plutôt que de parler des diffi cultés à trouver un juste équilibre entre les études et le sport, l’athlète affi rme que sa carrière au soccer a servi de complément à son ambition d’étudier en médecine. “Je trouve que pratiquer un sport pendant mon parcours universitaire contribue à réduire mon niveau de stress et m’aide à me concentrer sur d’autres choses que les études, affi rme-t-elle. Il faut savoir s’organiser et faire preuve de discipline, mais pratiquer un sport pendant ses études universitaires comporte des bienfaits pour la santé

physique et mentale.”

En mai 2013, elle recevait le Prix Brian-T.-Newbold, décerné par le Département de chimie et de biochimie de l’Université de Moncton pour souligner l’initiative et l’excellence des projets de recherche.

En septembre 2013, par l’entremise de l’Université de Sherbrooke, elle a commencé ses études en médecine sur le campus de Moncton. Malgré qu’elle reconnaisse qu’elle a encore beaucoup de chemin à faire avant d’y arriver, elle souhaite faire une demande de résidence en médecine familiale et établir une pratique au Nouveau-Brunswick.

Et bien que sa carrière d’étudiante-athlète soit terminée, elle évoque avec attachement ses belles années passées avec les Aigles Bleues. Toute l’expérience de l’étudiant-athlète est très gratifi ante. Cela fait chaud au cœur quand après quatre ou cinq ans, on se rappelle les rires, les joies, les satisfactions, les hauts, les bas et les émotions qu’on a partagés avec des co-équipières et un personnel tout à fait extraordinaires. »

Getting to know Roxane Pelletier

Qu’est-ce que vous faites pour vous divertir?À part de jouer au soccer, j’ai commencé à participer à des triathlons pour m’amuser. Ce sera probablement mon prochain sport.

Pouvez-vous nous dire une chose que vos amis et vos co-équipières ignorent probablement de vous?Mon premier sport, avant le soccer, était le patinage de fantaisie. Je me suis adonnée au patin entre l’âge de cinq et 13 ans.

Parlez-nous un peu de votre famille.J’ai grandi à Petit-Rocher avec mes parents et ma petite sœur. Mes parents nous ont beaucoup encouragées à faire du sport; ils étaient toujours là pour nous appuyer. Depuis l’an dernier, ma sœur fait partie de l’équipe de cross-country de l’Université de Moncton.

STUDENT-ATHLETE SPOTL IGHT: S IENNA COOKE ,

SA INT MARY ’S UNIVERSITY – WOMEN’S HOCKEY

When Surrey, B.C. native Sienna Cooke decided to try her hand at hockey at the age of 11, she couldn’t have foreseen that it would take her to the other side of the country just six years later to become the AUS rookie of the year for the Saint Mary’s Huskies.

According to Cooke, her relatively late start to hockey was due to her mother’s concerns. “I had always wanted to pursue the sport,” she said. “But being my mother’s ‘bubble-wrap child’, she sheltered me and tried to keep me away from the sport for as long as possible.” But the energetic

goalie would have no troubles making up for lost time.

“Despite my late start and initial ice follies, I put in a lot of extra training and my skill level increased exponentially each year,” she said. “I started to think that maybe I had some potential when, at age 14, I was able to start playing summer hockey with my dad’s men’s team.”

Cooke played for the Surrey Female Minor Hockey League for fi ve years, but still had yet to make a rep team. It was at the age of 15 that she decided to make the transition to boys’ hockey, opting to play with the Cloverdale Minor Hockey Association for her second year of Midget.

“A lot of girls start out in boys’ hockey and switch over to a girls’ league as they get older,” she said. “I did the opposite, and it was a tremendous experience and confi dence booster for me.”

The year she made the transition, she played as a spare on a rep team where she was playing with men who were up to 20 years old and twice her size. “It was a much faster and more aggressive game than anything I had experienced prior to that, and it served me well,” she said.

As her fi nal year of minor hockey approached, Cooke said she realized that if she wanted to fulfi ll her dream of playing university hockey, she would need to try out and hopefully play for a top level girls’ team where she would be seen by scouts. She managed to make the Vancouver Fusion Female Major Midget team, which was the highest level of girls’ hockey available for her age bracket.

When the time came, Cooke sent out recruiting packages and received offers back from about a dozen schools across Canada and the United States.

“After considering my options and speaking with coaches, SMU seemed to be the best fi t for me,” she said. “I love the small community feel at school. Everyone knows each other, the athletics department is superb and I really like the smaller class sizes. SMU was defi nitely the best choice for me and my hockey career.”

“We aim to recruit great people, not just good hockey players,” said Saint Mary’s women’s hockey head coach Chris Larade. “Sienna truly lives the ‘do the right thing, all the time’ approach that we try to instill in all the girls. She is a very bright young lady and an academic all-Canadian. She works hard both on and off the ice and she possesses a great team-fi rst attitude.”

In the 2012-13 season, her fi rst with the Huskies, Cooke led the conference in saves with 506. Her .934 save percentage was the third highest in the AUS. She was named both an AUS fi rst team all-star and to the AUS all-rookie team, and she took home AUS rookie of the year honours.

Coach Larade sees an even brighter future ahead for Cooke. “If she has one or two more seasons like she just had, I wouldn’t be surprised to see her get a U22 national development team camp invite,” he said. “She loves the game so much that there’s not much that can stop her.”

“It took a long time for me to realize and accept that people thought I was doing okay, but each goal still kills me,” admitted Cooke. “I will always be thankful to Coach Larade for taking a leap of faith and signing me to play for SMU.”

Getting to know Sienna Cooke

Do you have an early memory of learning to love hockey?“My most vivid early memory would be my hockey team picture day. Just before we were about to step on the ice for our photos, the Major Midget Female team came off. I was in complete awe of how big, strong and talented they all seemed. It was then that I looked to my dad and told him that I was going to be just like them, that I was going to work hard to make an AAA team and someday go to university on a hockey scholarship. At that time it seemed like a long shot as I made Bambi on ice look talented.”

What is one thing you think your friends and teammates might not know about you?“Although it had not initially been my intent to play goal when I started hockey, it was probably inevitable as there is a tradition of goalies in my family tree. My mother, grandmother, grandfather and great grandmother all played goal back in their day. My grandfather was even drafted to the NHL as a goalie.”

Coach Larade’s favourite memory of Sienna:“Cooke quite possibly had the best metabolism I’ve ever witnessed, which somewhat concerned me when we had our fi rst team pre-game meal last year before her fi rst start on the road. She can eat and eat, often joking about it too. They say all goalies are a little different so I guess that’s her little quirk. If she keeps playing like she has, we’ll keep feeding her whatever she wants.”

BELL AL IANT COMMUNITY ONE: ELEVAT ING THE

AUS STUDENT-ATHLETE EXPERIENCE WITH THE

DEVELOPMENT OF AUSTV.CA

Together over the past few years, Atlantic University Sport and Bell Aliant Community One have made great strides together. Most recently, this budding partnership was the driving force behind the development of AUStv.ca – a single URL at which all AUS championships and now nearly all AUS regular season games are broadcast to the world via webcast.

“We launched AUStv.ca last year as the destination for our online coverage of the AUS championships,” said Bell Aliant team lead Brad Sherriffs. “It proved to be very successful and easier to manage as a single destination for fans. We considered it to be a huge achievement for our fi rst year.”

“This year, we presented the idea of expanding AUStv.ca to include all regular season games and we were grateful that all of the member schools signed on,” Sherriffs continued. “We think it is an ideal setup for fans and parents to access the games and follow AUS throughout the year and we are looking forward to expanding the scope of coverage in the coming years.”

AUS executive director Phil Currie said feedback around AUStv from fans and stakeholders has been overwhelmingly positive. “People are so excited about this,” said Currie. “To be able turn on almost any AUS regular season or championship game throughout the season from anywhere in the world that you can access the internet is pretty special, and a signifi cant step forward for us.”

“This has really gone a long way to elevate the student-athlete experience,” he added.

For Sherriffs, the partnering of Community One and AUS was a slam dunk idea from the start. “We saw the AUS as a great fi t for what we are trying to do with Community One, our new community channel,” he said. “With member schools located in all four Atlantic provinces and a high percentage of athletes coming from here, we viewed the AUS as representative of the ideal of what community content should be on Community One.”

Sherriffs explained their channel seeks to expand coverage in all sports, in particular those that might not typically receive as

much coverage. “In our fi rst year covering AUS championships, we found there was an audience for sports like rugby, swimming and track and fi eld in addition to many others,” he said. “We want to continue to grow the coverage and give these athletes a platform to display their excellence. We fi nd that to be very rewarding and another important aspect of our coverage.”

This year, Community One ramped up their coverage in yet another way, creating a weekly program titled “Inside the AUS” with host Bill McLean. “Telling the story of the journey to become an AUS student-athlete and the experience of playing in the AUS for the different programs that make up the conference can be very compelling and inspire future AUS athletes,” said Sherriffs.

“It is an important piece of our coverage and Bill and his producer Drew Domokos have been doing a great job of developing the show,” he added. “Everyone associated has been very supportive and we look forward to continuing to develop ‘Inside the AUS’ as a vehicle to celebrate university sport in the region.”

“Inside the AUS” host Bill McLean has no trouble sharing fond memories from various Community One broadcasts of AUS games. He recalls the 2012 Subway AUS Loney Bowl hosted at Acadia. “We had two of our best producers, three cameras including a mobile sideline camera, Steve Betts doing sideline interviews and myself and former CFL player and AUS all-star Elliot Richardson in the boot,” recalled McLean. “After we signed off, we were all so psyched up and excited, it felt like we had won the Jewett (Trophy)!”

McLean also remembers when Community One broadcast the 2013 Subway AUS swimming championship hosted by the University of Prince Edward Island, which fell on the weekend of a bad winter storm. “Every day, dozens of volunteers made the long, arduous journey to make the event incredible success,” said McLean. “CIS CEO Pierre LaFontaine even joined the broadcast and did colour commentary on Saturday night.”

“The feeling of camaraderie that developed as the weekend went on despite the non-stop blizzard outside is something I’ll never forget.”

STUDENT-ATHLETE SPOTL IGHT: JASON BAST,

STFX UNIVERSITY – MEN’S HOCKEY

X-Men hockey forward Jason Bast’s hockey journey began very early on. Taking up the sport at just four years of age, the Regina, Sask. native always knew hockey would be hugely infl uential in his life.

“My fi rst goal when I was four years old would probably be my earliest hockey memory,” said Bast. “A lot of my favourite

memories are on the outdoor rink with friends.”

When Bast was 10 years old, he began playing for the Balgonie Prairie Storm minor hockey association. At 15, he moved to Wilcox, Sask, to attend and play hockey for the Athol Murray College of Notre Dame.

The following year, Bast began a fi ve-year junior career playing for the WHL’s Moose Jaw Warriors.

When it came time for university, Bast says he was ready for a change of scenery. “When I made the decision to go to university, I wanted to get away from home and experience a different part of the country,” he said. “I had two good friends here who were very infl uential in my decision to come to X.”

With 27 points in his fi rst season with the StFX X-Men, Bast was named StFX, AUS and CIS rookie of the year. He was also named to the AUS and CIS all-rookie teams.

“It was an honour that I wasn’t expecting,” Bast said of his 2011 CIS rookie of the year honours. “There were other fi rst-year players who were having very good years, so it wasn’t something that had crossed my mind.”

The following season, he led the X-Men in scoring and was ninth in AUS scoring with 30 points. He was named the 2011-12 StFX most valuable player for his efforts.

Last season, Bast was named a StFX assistant captain. He led the X-Men in scoring for the second consecutive year and was 11th in AUS scoring with 26 points.

After a disappointing fi nish to last season (the X-Men were knocked out by the UPEI Panthers in the AUS championship quarterfi nals), Bast says his team

has big ambitions for this season. “I think it has made us all hungry for redemption after a disappointing year last year,” he said.

Now in his fourth year with the X-Men, Bast hopes his hockey career is far from over. “There are a few directions I am considering going with my degree,” he said. “Although my fi rst focus is going to be continuing to play hockey for a year or two and seeing where it takes me.”

Getting to know Jason Bast

What do you think or hope you are best known for on the ice?“I hope that I would be known for my overall dedication to the game and success. I try to have the mindset of doing whatever I can to improve and help the team win.”

What has been your most memorable moment playing for StFX?“My fi rst year, we had the best group of guys I could ever imagine on one team. It was such a fun year and a very memorable playoff run all the way to nationals where we unfortunately came up short.”

Tell me one thing you think people might not know about you.“Although to most people I might seem pretty quiet and reserved, I’m a fairly open book when I’m around my close friends.”

STUDENT-ATHLETE SPOTL IGHT: KAT IE BREWSTER ,

ST. THOMAS UNIVERSITY – WOMEN’S HOCKEY

It was no fl uke St. Thomas Tommies forward Katie Brewster wound up a hockey player. The 22-year-old Sackville, N.B. native grew up in a hockey family and has been around the sport for about as long as she can remember.

“I originally started off playing ringette,” said the fi fth-year psychology student. “But that only lasted a year before I switched to hockey.”

Her successful hockey career began simply enough, as a young girl who wanted to be just like her big brother. “I always looked up to my older brother growing up and wanted to do everything he did,” she explained. “I would always ask to play road hockey with him and his friends. Most of the time they made me play in nets, but I didn’t care. As long as I got to play hockey, I was happy.”

Brewster soon graduated to organized hockey, growing up playing with predominantly boys in the Sackville Minor Hockey League until she left town to attend prep school in the tenth grade.

From Grade 10 to 12, she attended a prep school in New Hampshire, coincidentally named Brewster Academy.

The school, according to Brewster, had such a positive impact on her life that she would love to return one day in a coaching capacity. “I would love to live on campus, teach and coach,” she said. “Coaching at a prep school is still my dream job.”

Brewster was scouted by St. Thomas Tommies women’s hockey coach Peter Murphy while trying out for a summer hockey team in Moncton.

“I originally chose STU for several reasons,” said Brewster. “For starters, I loved the small campus and how close it was to home.”

“I was defi nitely nervous trying out for the team my fi rst year,” she continued. “I was glad that I made the team, and hoped that I would have a good impact as a recruited rookie. I’ve certainly improved a lot since my fi rst year at STU.”

Brewster posted nine points with the Tommies in her rookie season. She upped that number to 13 points the following season and 17 points the season after that.

In the 2012-13 season, she was named a second team AUS all-star. She was fi fth in the conference in goals with nine and had another four assists during the season.

At the beginning of the 2013-14 season, Brewster was

asked to take on the role of team captain, a task she was ready for. “I knew I was ready to be captain, but I also knew I had big shoes to fi ll,” she said. “I was an assistant captain for two years while Kayla Blackmore was captain. I learned a lot from her about leadership and hard work.”

The new team captain has big ambitions for her team in her fi nal year of eligibility. “I think the obvious hope is to become CIS national champions on our home ice,” she said, alluding to St. Thomas University’s hosting of the 2014 CIS women’s hockey championship. “That would certainly be a dream come true.”

“My biggest expectation for this year is that we are able to follow up last year’s season with an even better season,” she said. “We had a lot of fi rsts last year, such as being ranked nationally, fi nishing second overall in the AUS standings, and a record-breaking number of wins. I hope that we are able to go above and beyond that.”

Getting to know Katie Brewster

What do you think you are best known for off the ice?“My teammates would probably say I’m known for my clumsiness and comic relief. If I’m not the one making jokes, then the jokes are usually on me. I hope I’m known for being a good teammate, who is always smiling and always trying to make other people smile.”

What has been your most memorable moment playing for St. Thomas so far?“We were the fi rst team to play a game in the new Grant Harvey Centre. We were playing our rival UdeM. That game, I scored the fi rst ever goal in the GHC. We also went on to win that game.”

What are your plans after you graduate from St. Thomas?“I hope to continue my education in the fi eld of social work. I had a job this past summer working with adults with disabilities and I really enjoyed it. It certainly had an impact on planning my future.”

STUDENT-ATHLETE SPOTL IGHT: BEN SHUTRON,

UNIVERSITY OF NEW BRUNSWICK – MEN’S HOCKEY

Although it hasn’t been all smooth sailing for fi fth-year Varsity Reds defenceman Ben Shutron, the Orleans, Ont. native has zero regrets about his choice to play his university career at UNB.

“After my major junior career I was recruited by Coach Gardiner MacDougall,” said Shutron. “He convinced me to visit Fredericton on a recruiting trip and from the moment I arrived to the moment I left, I felt at home.”

“The city, the school and the athletic program all exceeded my expectations,” he continued. “After my visit, I came to the conclusion that UNB was the best place for me to excel both as a student and an athlete. So, I committed and began my career as a Varsity Red.”

Shutron found himself in good company in Canada’s Atlantic conference, playing among many familiar faces.

“Before I was drafted to the Ontario Hockey League, I played with the Richmond Hill Stars,” he explained. “During this time, I lived with former UPEI Panther Jared Gomes. He was on the team, along with (Saint Mary’s) Cory Tanaka and (UNB’s) Josh Kidd who have also played in the AUS.”

Shutron was off to an impressive start in his fi rst season with the Varsity Reds, boasting the highest plus/minus rating in the conference and being named to the AUS all-rookie team.

Unfortunately, disaster struck in his second season when he broke his right femur during pre-season play. “Recovering from the injury was a diffi cult task, but one that helped me learn a lot about myself as a person,” said Shutron. “I was lucky to have great support from my family, teammates and coaches to help me get back into form.”

After coming back to play in 17 games in the 2011-12 season, Shutron returned for the entirety of last season, playing in all 28 games, contributing 15 points over the season and fi nishing with a +18 plus/minus rating. He is on pace for another solid season, posting seven points in the fi rst half of the 2013-14 season.

A part of two national championship-winning teams, Shutron feels fortunate to have experienced CIS wins twice in his time at UNB. “Winning this past season in Saskatoon was just as memorable because it was the last time the core of that 2011 championship team got to play together,” he explained.

Shutron has high hopes for a third CIS banner in his fi nal year with the Varsity Reds. “At UNB, we have a tradition of improving each day and working as hard as we can,” he said. “If we can focus on those two things, we should have a chance to achieve our goal.”

The V-Reds veteran sees his role on this year’s squad as one of leadership. “Off the ice, I hope I am known as a good teammate and someone that has a positive infl uence in the dressing room,” he said. “As a fi fth-year player, I think it is crucial that I help set a good example for the younger players joining the program.”

In his fi rst year of a master’s degree in business administration, Shutron hopes to stay involved in hockey after graduation. “I would love to become a coach or general manager of a junior hockey team, and hopefully climb the ranks towards the NHL.”

Last summer, he completed an internship with Hockey Canada’s recruitment department. “Working with them in a position that helps grow the game is something I would love to do,” Shutron said.

Regardless of whether he winds up working in hockey, Shutron said, “I want to do something that I enjoy, and something that has a positive infl uence on others.”

Getting to know Ben Shutron

Do you have an early memory of learning to love hockey?“Early memories of playing hockey and learning to love the game revolve around playing on outdoor rinks with my father and two brothers. When the ice melted in the summer, we would spend our time playing street hockey in front of our house. We had some pretty heated battles, especially when Mom played nets.”

When did you start playing organized hockey?“At the age of 5. My father coached the team and did so until I was 11 years old and playing for the Gloucester Rangers AAA program. We had great teams, and to this day I am still friends with a lot of the players.”

What is one thing your friends and teammates might not know about you?“I have a metal rod in my leg. I know it’s cheesy, but that is all I can think of. That and even though I am terrible, I really like to sing.”

STUDENT-ATHLETE SPOTL IGHT: MARLEY MACINNIS ,

UNIVERSITY OF PR INCE EDWARD ISLAND –

WOMEN’S RUGBY

For Souris, P.E.I native Marley MacInnis, the chance to be a UPEI Panther with the women’s rugby team wasn’t what brought her to the university, but it may be what kept her there.

“I decided to go to UPEI because a lot of my friends were going there and I would still be close to my family as well,” said MacInnis. “I knew that I didn’t want to be too far away from home for my fi rst year of university, but thought that might change after a year or two.”

Unlike many student-athletes, the psychology student didn’t begin playing rugby at UPEI right away. “After almost two years off, I decided to try out for the UPEI team when I was starting my third year there.”

It was no easy feat. “Trying out for the team was pretty nerve-wracking,” recalled MacInnis. “Training camp included three days of two-a-day (practices), which was new to me and very intimidating.”

“It was invigorating though, to work hard and then to have it pay off when I made the team,” she said. “The coaches and my teammates are a really great group of women, so I felt at home pretty quickly.”

And with that, MacInnis’s career as a Panther began, and the choice to remain at UPEI for the duration of her university years was solidifi ed.

“After I decided to play rugby, there was no way I was going anywhere else,” said the eight man. “Playing on a varsity team gave me even more Panther pride and made me feel like I was part of a family.”

MacInnis’s rugby career fi rst began in the ninth grade at Souris Regional High School. The summer before her tryout with the Panthers, she had decided to resume playing rugby after a two-year hiatus and played for the P.E.I. provincial team.

“We won the gold medal for the U20 division,” she recalled. “It reminded me of how much I loved playing rugby.”

MacInnis’s passion for the sport is clear. “There’s something thrilling about using the right technique to stop an opposing player from scoring a try, or clearing a ruck, or making a pass that leads to gaining ground on the fi eld, being able to take a hit and get right back up into the game and just fi ghting your way up the fi eld as a team,” she said.

“I think because of the physical aspect of rugby, players really feel the need to protect their teammates and it feels amazing to go and support your teammates and receive support

from them,” said MacInnis. “I think it brings the team closer together and that’s why it feels like a family.”

She has proven to be a valuable asset for the Panthers, being named an AUS all-star in the 2012 season.

The 23-year-old hopes to continue her education by entering either a speech and language pathology or an occupational therapy program.

Getting to know Marley MacInnis

What has been your most memorable moment playing for UPEI so far?“I think it would have to be the fi rst year that I played, when we cracked the CIS Top 10 list. That was pretty exciting for us as a team. I was so happy to have joined the team and to have been able to be a part of that success.”

Share a bit about your life outside of school and sports. What do you like to do for fun?“I like to spend time with family and friends. They’re the most important thing to me.”

What do you think or hope you are best known for off the fi eld?“I think I’m known as outgoing and someone who likes to have fun and crack jokes.”

AUS ATHLETES OF THE YEAR

Atlantic University Sport is pleased to recognize the 2012-13 AUS athletes of the year and nominees for the BLG Awards as the top CIS athletes in Canada.

Saint Mary’s University men’s hockey player Lucas Bloodoff of Castlegar, B.C., was selected as the top male athlete from universities affi liated with AUS.

Each of the 11 AUS schools selects one female and one male athlete of the year. From these nominees, one female and one male athlete are chosen as the AUS athletes of the year.

Whether it’s close to home or at the other end of the country, hockey success seems to follow Lucas Bloodoff wherever he steps on the ice.

After playing his major junior career with the WHL’s Kelowna Rockets, a short three-hour drive from his hometown of Castlegar, B.C., the 6-foot-2, 230-pound forward moved 5,700 kilometres away to Halifax in the fall of 2010 to join the Saint Mary’s University Huskies. Different locations, same result: a trip to the national championship game.

Following back-to-back eight-goal campaigns, the 23-year-old exploded this year in his third university season with 20 goals – including a CIS-leading 12 power play markers – and 38 points in 28 league games, both tops in the AUS conference. His strong all-round game caught the eye of CIS coaches, who rewarded him with the Senator Joseph A. Sullivan Trophy as the best player in the country.

Under Bloodoff’s leadership, the Husies went on to reach the University

Cup fi nal in Saskatoon, four years after Kelowna’s appearance in the Memorial Cup title match in Rimouski, Que.

Those CHL days bring back special memories for Bloodoff, who got to play alongside younger brother Evan for four seasons with the Rockets. Evan was drafted by the NHL’s Phoenix Coyotes in 2009 and is currently playing in the team’s farm system.

Hockey is not the only sport that is a family affair in the Bloodoff household. Both brothers and older sister Vanessa were competitive swimmers growing up, with Lucas still holding regional and club records to this day.

The Huskies standout credits Saint Mary’s head coach Trevor Stienburg for helping him adapt to his new life in Halifax.

“Moving literally from coast to coast was a very big move and Trevor moved out of his home for a month, so I could live there and get on my feet,” Bloodoff says.

“Lucas has an incredible skill set as a hockey player but all his gifts in this regard are fuelled by an incredible conviction to make his team win and show his loyalty to his people. His passion to lead and infl uence others in pursuit of the team’s best interest is beyond selfl ess,” says Stienburg of his pupil, who was named humanitarian of the year by the Kelowna Rockets in both 2009 and 2010. “He is a great example of what I consider to be the ‘perfect son’ with his good will, compassion and desire to sacrifi ce beyond what is expected.”

Atlantic University Sport is pleased to recognize the 2012-13 AUS athletes of the year and nominees for the BLG Awards as the top CIS athletes in Canada.

Saint Mary’s University women’s basketball player Justine Colley of East Preston, N.S., was selected as the top female athlete from universities affi liated with AUS.

Each of the 11 AUS schools selects one female and one male athlete of the year. From these nominees, one female and one male athlete are chosen as the AUS athletes of the year.

To say that Justine Colley had one of the best seasons in CIS women’s basketball history might be an understatement. And by the time she wraps up her university career a year from now, the native of East Preston, N.S., will without a doubt be considered one of the all-time CIS greats.

The 5-foot-9 guard averaged a mindboggling 28.2 points per game in league play in 2012-13, an Atlantic conference record and the highest total in the country since former BLG Award winner Sandra Carroll of Winnipeg set a CIS standard with 30.3 per contest back in ‘94-95. It marked Colley’s third consecutive national scoring crown since she placed third in her university debut in ‘09-10, en route to AUS rookie-of-the-year honours. That’s as many scoring titles as Kobe Bryant and LeBron James combined in 27 NBA campaigns.

The youngest of fi ve children (two boys and three girls), Colley played a

multitude of other sports in junior high and high school, including volleyball, track and fi eld, cross-country running and badminton. Head coach Scott Munro, who previously coached one of her sisters at Halifax-based University of King’s College, is one of many people at Saint Mary’s who are thrilled Justine ended up picking basketball as her discipline of choice.

In addition to her scoring prowess this season, the commerce student led the country in steals and was tops in her conference in assists, statistics that helped her become the fi rst AUS player in history to claim the Nan Copp Award as CIS MVP. More importantly, she guided the Huskies to their fi rst AUS title since 1977 and to a program-best third-place fi nish at the national championship. Fittingly, the 21-year-old tallied 33 points and eight steals – both tournament highs – in the CIS bronze-medal match against Calgary.

The all-time Saint Mary’s scoring leader in only four campaigns, Colley has represented Canada at numerous international competitions over the years, including the 2009 junior world championship, as well as the Pan American Games and Summer Universiade in 2011. She should be on the radar once again in the coming weeks as Team Canada selects its roster for the 2013 Universiade in Kazan, Russia (July 6-17).

“Justine’s impact on our team and a basketball game goes far beyond the stats,” says Munro. “She is simply one of the best leaders I have ever been around. Her desire to compete and win separates her from any other student-athlete I have coached. These people who have the total package only come around once in a while.”

JAMES BAYER MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP AWARD

Atlantic University Sport is pleased to recognize Dalhousie women’s track and fi eld athlete Rebecca Haworth as the 2013 recipient of the 27th annual James Bayer Memorial Scholarship Award presented by Pepsi Beverages Company.

Marg Bayer, wife of the late James Bayer, and Mr. Phil Currie, executive director of Atlantic University Sport, made this year’s presentation at

the Dalhousie University Black & Gold Athletic Banquet.

“There is no question that Rebecca is a student-athlete who exemplifi es all the outstanding qualities that James Bayer lived his life by. This award embodies those principles and values,” commented Currie, a member of the three-person selection committee. “Her commitment and dedication to excellence in the classroom, in the community and to her sport make her the ideal recipient of Atlantic University Sport’s most prestigious award.”

Haworth, a captain with the women’s track and fi eld team and co-president of the Dalhousie varsity council, excelled on and off the fi eld in her third year at Dalhousie University.

The native of Waverly, N.S., claimed gold in the high jump at fi ve different meets, including at the AUS championships and at the McGill Team Challenge in Montreal, where she prevailed with a leap of 1.73 metres, the seventh best performance in CIS this season. At the end-of-season CIS championship in Alberta, she placed fourth with a jump of 1.70 metres.

A psychology student with a 4.06 GPA, Haworth is an academic all-Canadian and was the 2013 recipient of both the AUS and CIS women’s track and fi eld student-athlete community service awards. She also received the 2013 Dalhousie University Board of Governors’ Award, which recognizes academic accomplishments and exceptional contributions to campus life and community service.

Rebecca is the founder of the Special Tigers Sports program, which provides opportunities for Special Olympians to spend a day playing sports with Dalhousie varsity athletes. She also volunteers with Dalhousie’s Health Mentors and peer partners programs and is an assistant track and fi eld coach at Halifax’s Sacred Heart School. In previous years, she has been a volunteer at Halifax’s Light the Night walk for Leukemia and Lymphoma, a meal assistance program volunteer for Capital Health, and the Dalhousie Varsity coordinator for Operation Christmas Child.

“Rebecca is an absolutely outstanding athlete, leader, and humanitarian,” said Dalhousie women’s volleyball head coach Rich Lehman. “Her tireless work ethic always amazes me. She is constantly on the go, but always manages to bring a high level of energy and intensity to practice and competition.”

“Rebecca is an incredible role model not only for our student-athletes but also for all students,” commented Karen Moore, Dalhousie’s director of athletics. “She gives an incredible amount of her time to others and it is amazing how she manages to maintain her high academic standing despite her commitments to her sport and community. She is truly one of a kind and we are so fortunate to have her as part of the Dalhousie Tiger family.”

Each year, the 11 AUS member schools nominate one student-athlete for this prestigious award. As this year’s recipient, Rebecca receives a $1,000 scholarship.

Also nominated were Acadia’s Tom Filgiano, Cape Breton’s Jason Massie, Memorial’s Grace Fishbein, Moncton’s Véronique Carroll, Mount Alison’s Danica Lundy, UNB’s Melissa Foster, UPEI’s Jordan Knox, StFX’s Stephen Deering, Harry Ezenibe from Saint Mary’s and Kayla Blackmore from St. Thomas University. Each of the nominees receive a $500 scholarship award.

The James Bayer Memorial Scholarship Award was established in 1985 and is awarded annually to an outstanding student-athlete in Atlantic University Sport for excellence in academics, athletics, leadership, sportsmanship and citizenship.

James Bayer taught education and physical education at both high school and university levels. He served as supervisor and consultant for the Nova Scotia department of culture, recreation and fi tness.

At Acadia University, he served as dean of recreation and physical education and as director of athletics from 1978-1985. As an administrator in the AUAA and the CIAU, he was a key player in the establishment of intercollegiate athletic policy.

This memorial scholarship is the most prestigious award offered annually by Atlantic University Sport.
