    Sharai Siemens led the way as the Huskies women’s track and field team topped the Canada West podium last weekend at the Saskatoon Field House.

    It was the third time in the last four years that the University of Saskatchewan women’s squad has won the championship — they took the title in 2009 and 2010 but finished third last season.

  • Huskies hockey advances with 10-3 win: Dogs sweep Pronghorns in first round of playoffs, ready for Golden Bears

    By March 1, 2012

    “Mission accomplished,” said Huskies head coach Dave Adolph. “That’s all it was.”

    His squad’s 10-3 stomping of the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns Feb. 25 at Rutherford Rink in Saskatoon not only swept the ’Horns out of the best-of-three Canada West quarter-final series, but also silenced a team that had caused the Dogs trouble all season long.

  • Huskies basketball to host Final Four

    By February 29, 2012

    The No. 3 ranked Huskies men are set to host the Canada West Final Four for the first time ever following two wins against the Trinity Western Spartans at the Physical Activity Complex Feb. 24 and 25.

    The men played a close first game against the Spartans on Feb. 24, but pulled ahead in the final quarter to win 98-83. Fourth-year guard Jamelle Barrett scored 36 points for the Huskies — more than a third of the team’s total. Meanwhile, despite a wobbly start on the first night of a two-game series against the Thompson Rivers University Wolfpack, the No. 3 ranked Huskies women’s basketball team ended the weekend by sweeping their opponents.

  • NHL legend Ken Dryden weighs in on state of hockey

    By February 17, 2012

    A crowd filled the Indigo bookstore in Place Montréal Trust Feb. 2 to hear former Montreal Canadiens goaltender and politician Ken Dryden talk about his book, The Game, and weigh in on the concussion crisis currently rocking the hockey world.

    The event was put on as part of Canada Reads, a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation-run endeavour to choose and promote Canada’s best books. The Game, released in 1983, recounts Dryden’s memories of the pressures of being a goaltender in the National Hockey League. It also takes an in-depth look at the Montreal squad that took home the Stanley Cup in 1979.

    Dryden went from speaking of his earliest moments playing the sport to discussing the speed and intensity of how it is played today.

  • Dogs set for undefeated Cougars this weekend: Women’s basketball tips off against No. 1 Regina to finish regular season

    By February 16, 2012

    With only one game remaining, the Huskies women’s basketball regular season is far from over.

    The Dogs take on provincial rival and undefeated powerhouse University of Regina Cougars in their last match of the regular season Saturday, Feb. 18 at the Physical Activity Complex in Saskatoon.

    While the match means nothing on paper, the game will be the Huskies’ most difficult test of the year.

  • Huskies women’s hockey team ready to face off against Alberta Pandas: here are some players to watch this weekend

    By February 15, 2012

    The Huskies started off the 2011-12 season with those losses in mind, sweeping Alberta in a late-October weekend series. Those games, however, came down to both overtime and a shootout. By no means did Saskatchewan dominate the Pandas and, as evidenced by the teams splitting their following weekend series, the Huskies had not had the last laugh.

    The Dogs will look for vengeance Feb. 17, 18 and, if needed, 19 in the same arena where they lost last year as they kick off their 2011-12 playoff campaign.

  • Huskies win five golds: dogs bring it all at Canada West wrestling championships on Feb. 10 and 11

    By February 13, 2012

    This weekend, Saskatchewan’s men’s squad, which saw nine wrestlers put up top five finishes, landed third in the team standings with a combined 34 points — 11 points behind the hosting Regina Cougars who edged out Alberta by a single point for the title. Calgary finished fourth with 20 points while Winnipeg finished last with only 3 points.

    On the women’s side, the Huskies put up a strong showing despite their large number of rookies — four of the team’s eight wrestlers are in their first year of CIS competition.

    Home-ice advantage didn’t mean a thing for the Huskies men’s hockey team last weekend against the University of Calgary Dinos.

    The Dinos not only handed the Dogs their first loss at Rutherford Rink this season with a 3-2 overtime win Friday, Feb. 3, but also held the Huskies scoreless in a 3-0 victory the following night.
