The busy season for athletics at Concordia is upon us. Football is making a strong push into the post season as are our rugby and soccer teams.
On top of that, Concordia’s basketball and hockey teams are just getting underway. With all our teams in competition for the next few weeks, there is something out there for almost every sports fan at Concordia.
The Stingers are proving that they are force to be reckoned with in almost every sport on campus. Basketball and hockey should be no exception. The basketball teams are looking to improve on an already impressive record and our women’s hockey team is looking to regain its place at the top of the national rankings.
Of particular interest to me this upcoming winter is the men’s hockey team. I have been covering the team for over two years now and have noticed a remarkable change since my first game.
Although they lost some leadership and experience when Vince Labossiere graduated, the team is filled with enthusiastic, hard working newcomers that fans will quickly enjoy watching.
I am anxiously awaiting the start of what should be an exciting season. Sure, the team will have its ups and downs, but no matter what, they will always give their all under head coach Kevin Figsby, who is the rudder that has steered the ship Concordia in the right direction.
I will be watching as the Stingers look to de-throne the Universite de Quebec a Trois-Rivieres Patriotes from their seat atop the conference. The past two seasons, Concordia was the only team to defeat UQTR in the regular season and the rivalry between these two teams has grown to match and even surpass the rivalry with McGill.
There is a new sense of pride in the dressing room of our Stingers. They know they can compete with the best in the league, and for some, they are the best in the league.
Stinger pride goes on strong and we should and must support and encourage our great and somewhat unrecognized athletes. What they do is not an easy task. They sacrifice a lot of time for their teams and play purely for the love of the game and the pride of our school.
I know I will be at as many games as possible, not as a reporter, but as a fan. Everyone should come out support our Stingers. You won’t be disappointed.
