The Huskies 2011 special teams units looked unbeatable one play and frustratingly average the next. Special teams coach Doug Humbert had challenges early on in the season, when the kick and punt return teams first lost Kit Hillis to injury, followed by 2010 Canada West all-star kick returner Luke Thiel in week three. In addition, [...]

Much like the climate of the province they play in, the Huskies’ offence in 2011 was sweltering hot one week and ice-cold the next. While inconsistent, the new talent in the lineup showed significant promise. The offence finished third in the conference with 238 points scored, and was one touchdown shy of UBC’s prolific offence [...]

As I arrived at Griffiths Stadium on Tuesday, the lack of snow and mild temperatures made it feel as though I should be walking to the field for a spring camp practice. Unfortunately, we’re still three-and-a-half months from spring camp. However, that time will be put to good use by Head Coach Brian Towriss and [...]

First of all, congratulations to Ben Heenan for being named a second-team all-Canadian. Heenan, who is ranked the first-overall prospect for the 2012 CFL draft, has likely played his final game for the Huskies. If you want to see him and the seventh ranked Bryce McCall in Huskie helmets again, you better plan on attending [...]

Yesterday’s Canada West semi-final in Vancouver between the Huskies and the UBC Thunderbirds played out like a microcosm of the entire season. The Huskies started out well and looked like they would be hard to beat, but inconsistency at quarterback and ill-timed turnovers kept the opponent in the game. The Thunderbirds were able to stay [...]

Football has perhaps been more of learning experience for Craig Woloshyn, over the last year and a half, than it has been for any other member of the Huskies. One look along the line of scrimmage will tell you why. Woloshyn has moved from the defensive side of the ball to offense. Craig played defensive [...]

Our countdown to the Huskies’ non-conference game, vs. the University of Windsor Lancers, continues with #16, Stephen McDonald. Stephen is a 6′-3″, 180 pound punter/placekicker from Walter Murray Collegiate in Saskatoon. 2010 was Stephen’s second season of eligibility, and he was used primarily as a placekicker. Following a tough start to the season, McDonald closed [...]

For two years, Garrett Burgess has been awaiting his chance to make an impact on the Huskie offense. Last year, Garrett impressed in practice and dressed for nearly every game, but depth at wide receiver kept him off the field. That will very likely change this season with Jade Etienne now in the CFL, and [...]

Huskie linebacker, Peter Thiel, was fortunate enough to attend the Roughriders’ training camp and be on the roster for their two preseason games. While he didn’t crack the lineup for this year, he came away with a better understanding of what he can do to help the Huskies in 2011, and hopefully find himself on [...]

McCall and current defensive tackle, David Rybinski, were joined by a couple of outstanding former Huskies in RB David Stevens and DE Brian Guebert. They helped Canada to a [...]

Since the CFL teams announced their final cuts in late June, I’ve heard many fans comment that the losses of Jade Etienne, Patrick Neufeld and Rory Kohlert, will, if not doom the Huskies, certainly place them behind their competition in the Canada West and have them fighting to make the playoffs. So, how will they [...]

With the graduation of Laurence Nixon, a new quarterback will be at the helm of the Huskie offense in 2011. Many expect Trent Peterson to be the new starting QB, since he was the backup in 2010, but there will be a competition for the spot come fall camp. Peterson is one of several Huskies [...]
