Lancer football introduces the new kids By Ryan Rogers Sports Editor March 19, 2008 Lancer Athletics and Football Head Coach Mike Morencie introduced three of the team’s latest local recruits who are being charged with “great expectations.” Not unlike Charles Dickens’ novel, the Lancers are looking to climb out from their lowly station in last season’s standings into the elite level of the OUA, believing that these three recruits, in particular, will strengthen problem areas from last season, and have a positive impact on the team.
 The Lancers introduced quarterback Sam Malian, linebacker Brad Adams and receiver Jordan Brescacin. Morencie said, “Is there a little bit of pressure on these guys? Yes there is. We have great expectations for them. That’s okay. These young men can handle it. They’re going to come to camp and they’re going to compete…" >> | Lancers working toward CFL future By Ryan Rogers Sports Editor March 19, 2008 Three members of the Lancers football program are looking at their futures this week while attending the Canadian Football League (CFL) draft combine, showing off what they’ve got to impress the big league. Receiver Glenn MacKay, running back Daryl Stephenson and defensive lineman Kyle Sleightholm are all out of town making a case for their futures.
 Lancer Football Head Coach Mike Morencie said that the CFL has been inquiring about many of the Lancers, and not just the draft eligible players, either. “We sent a lot of film to the CFL guys who have been looking at film. There’s a lot of interest in our underclassmen, some guys that are coming back. Of course there’s interest in Sleightholm and Stephenson but there’s a great deal of interest as well in some of our young kids.” >>
 | | Campus Kiss | | Lancer men's hockey coach resigns By Ryan Rogers Sports Editor March 19, 2008 The Athletics Department at the University of Windsor announced last Thursday the resignation of the men’s hockey team’s head coach, Pete Belliveau. The resignation has left the athletics department in a position where they’ll have to evaluate the future of the men’s hockey at the varsity level.
Athletics Director Gord Grace said, “We’ve got to sit down and discuss where we go from here. We’ve lost two really good hockey men in the last couple years with Vern (Stenlund) and with Pete.”
The reasoning for Belliveau’s departure was an inability for the athletics department to solidify the coaching position at a full-time level. Grace said, “I knew that it was a possibility and the fact is that Pete needed to pursue full-time employment, or wanted to pursue a full-time opportunity.”
“We (athletics department) weren’t able to get it done and knew that he’d likely look elsewhere,” continued Grace. >> |
