She then netted the game-winning shootout goal that secured a vital two points for the Horns and put them three points clear of Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Manitoba Bisons for the final <a href="http://www.canadawest.org" rel="nofollow">Canada West</a> playoff spot. The Bisons cap their season this weekend with two games against conference leading Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Calary, needing a sweep to overtake the idle Horns.<br> <br> Ballendine also made history, moving into a tie atop the Horns' all-time scoring list with 73 points in 118 career Canada West games.<br> <br> Mappin, a first-year forward, was instrumental in helping the Horns men's team bury the Cougars and near a clinch of their own Canada West playoff berth. He scored and added an assist in Friday night's loss to Regina, then netted a key insurance goal in Saturday's win, keeping the Horns five points ahead of the Cougars for the final playoff spot. Regina plays four games to the Horns' two to close out the regular season.<br> <br> Mappin is fourth in Canada West rookie scoring with seven goals and nine assists.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div

Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Lethbridge <a href="http://www.uleth.ca/horns" rel="nofollow">Pronghorns</a> men's hockey team. A laundry list of injuries has left Courtney in the trainer's room or on the operating table as much as he's been on the ice.</p> <p>Yet, despite leaving his family, moving across the country and having only played 20 games over the last two seasons, Courtney is not only at peace with his circumstance, he's thankful. Now, the Belleville, Ont. native says he wants to give something back – and he'll do so by growing a moustache.<br> <br> "I decided to come out here to continue playing hockey and to further my education, which was the dream growing up," says Courtney, the impetus behind the Horns' Movember initiative (donate by following this <a href="https://www.movember.com/ca/donate/your-details/team_id/75236" rel="nofollow">link</a>). "My mom's a high school teacher, and she always preached to me how important it was to get an education. This was an opportunity to do that, and it's been the best move of my life."</p><p><div class="image-caption-container" style="width:500px;"><img src="/unews/sites/default/files/main/articles/movember.jpg" alt="Movember" title="Moustache members of the Horns men&amp;#039;s hockey team (front row from left); Andrew Gilbert, Lucio Pucci-Daniele, Ryan Letts and Dan Iwanski; (Back row from left) Dustin Moore, Andrew Courtney and Reese St. Goddard."><div class="image-caption">Moustache members of the Horns men&#039;s hockey team (front row from left); Andrew Gilbert, Lucio Pucci-Daniele, Ryan Letts and Dan Iwanski; (Back row from left) Dustin Moore, Andrew Courtney and Reese St. Goddard.</div></div></p> <p>Movember, a campaign that originated in Australia in 2003, draws attention to and raises funds for the fight against prostate cancer. Last year, 35,156 people in Canada took up the cause and raised $7.8 million for <a href="http://www.prostatecancer.ca/" rel="nofollow">Prostate Cancer Canada</a>.</p> <p>The program itself is simple, grow a moustache, collect pledges and the fund grows. For Courtney, the cause is personal, on a number of levels.</p> <p>"Both my uncle and my grandfather have had to face prostate cancer in recent years and luckily for them, they caught it early and everything is well," says Courtney.</p> <p>"In my five years, we really haven't done anything like this as a team. This is a way for me to say thank you to Lethbridge and the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Lethbridge for welcoming me into the community. I just wanted to give something back and try and get the community a little more involved with Pronghorns Athletics."</p> <p>The Horns have been growing their mustaches since returning from a pre-season trip to Colorado, and are now selling tickets for a raffle that features a Los Angeles Kings jersey signed by the entire Kings team, as well as a Molson prize pack. The raffle will be drawn Nov. 20 at the Horns' home game against Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Regina Cougars. That night, all proceeds from the 50-50 draw will go to Prostate Cancer Canada, along with the raffle proceeds and money raised from a special promotion that sees U of L President Dr. Mike Mahon shooting pucks into the net between periods. As well, the team will be wearing special Pronghorns jerseys that will be available through silent auction, again with the proceeds to be donated.</p> <p>"I didn't know how the team would react to this, but they've been great," says Courtney, a kinesiology major. "All the guys are growing their mustaches – some better than others – and now it's just a matter of selling tickets and getting as many people to the game as we can."</p><p><div class="image-caption-container" style="width:500px;"><img src="/unews/sites/default/files/main/articles/movember_2.jpg" alt="Andrew Courtney" title="Pronghorns forward Andrew Courtney displays the special edition jerseys that will be part of a silent auction at Saturday&amp;#039;s Movember night at Nicholas Sheran Arena."><div class="image-caption">Pronghorns forward Andrew Courtney displays the special edition jerseys that will be part of a silent auction at Saturday&#039;s Movember night at Nicholas Sheran Arena.</div></div></p> <p>Courtney played 37 games his first season at the U of L, before being limited to just 26 games the next because of an ankle injury. In his third year, shoulder and knee problems would limit his participation to just five games. Last season, Courtney was off to a blazing start, scoring 13 goals in the team's first 15 games to lead the conference. Unfortunately, he blew out his knee just prior to the Christmas break and was lost for the rest of the year.</p> <p>"At the beginning it was really stressful and depressing," he says of the eight-month rehabilitation process following the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery. "Having the support of the guys, my family and friends, was huge. They helped me get through this process, this long road, and without them I couldn't have done it."</p> <p>It's why he wants to say thanks to southern Alberta. That it might lead to helping any number of men in the long run is an added bonus.</p> <p>"Coming here, I didn't know anyone other than Steve (Zmudczynski) and we were the only guys from Ontario on the team," says Courtney. "As the years have gone on and I've met more people, I've really been accepted as just another member of the community. It's been overwhelming to experience that."</p> <p><strong> GET THE FACTS</strong></p> <p>&middot; Courtney played Junior A Tier II hockey in Trenton, Ont. before his final season of eligibility, when he played for the Ontario Hockey League's Niagara Falls Thunder.</p> <p>&middot; He has had three knee surgeries on the same knee in the last 18 months, two arthroscopic procedures and a total ACL reconstruction.</p> <p>&middot; Movember raffle tickets are available from Horns hockey players or in the Horns Athletics office (PE210).</p> <p>&middot; Courtney scored a power play goal against Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Manitoba, Oct. 29. It was his first game in 11 months following knee surgery.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-group-format group_related_topics field-group-div group-related-topics block-title-body speed-fast

men's and women's basketball teams are making long awaited appearances in the Canada West playoffs this weekend and action kicked off Thursday night in Regina.<br> <br> The women's Horns team dropped a 71-58 decision to host Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Regina Cougars as the clubs opened their best-of-three playoff series. Lethbridge held a 30-29 lead at the half, but the Cougars took the lead for good early in the third quarter. Regina outscored the Pronghorns by a 19-10 margin in the third and put away the visitors with eight consecutive points over a three-minute span in the fourth quarter.<br> <br> Sam Hornqvist led Lethbridge with 13 points and tied Hannah Blanchette for the team lead with five rebounds. Blanchette also had 10 points and five steals for the Pronghorns, while Kenzie Sheen chipped in with 11. It is the first playoff appearance for the Horns in eight seasons.<br> <p>The victory gives the Cougars a 1-0 lead in the best-of-three conference quarter-final series, which will continue with Game 2 on Friday. If necessary, a third game will go on Saturday.<br> <br> The Pronghorns men's basketball team is in the post-season for the first time in 10 years and they'll open their series tonight in Calgary against the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Calgary Dinos. The teams split a pair of two-point games in the regular season with the Horns taking the last meeting on the final night of the regular season.<br> <br> Check out this <a

responded with a stellar effort in the Horns' 93-84 victory.</p> <p>A third-year point guard, Price had a career night with 28 points on 10-of-16 shooting as the Horns clinched a spot in the <a href="http://www.canadawest.org" rel="nofollow">Canada West</a> playoffs. Price also collected eight assists, five rebounds and five steals as the Horns survived a complicated wildcard system to reach the post-season tournament.</p> <p>Price finished fourth in conference scoring over the regular season, averaging 15.5 points per game. She also led the Canada West conference in assists with 4.9 per contest.</p> <p>The Horns will now travel to face Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Regina Cougars, Feb. 25-27, in the first round of playoffs.</p> <p>The Horns men's hockey team also needed to win to maintain momentum as it charges toward a Canada West playoff berth. Team captain Moore led the way with four goals as the club swept the visiting Regina Cougars and kept pressure on both Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Calgary and Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Saskatchewan for the final playoff position in Canada West.</p> <p>On Friday night, Moore scored the first and third goals of the game, in a nine-minute span, to open the first period and propel the Horns to a 4-1 win. He was also a plus-2 and recorded an astonishing14 shots on goal.</p> <p>The next night he opened the scoring again with a power play goal and picked up his fourth of the weekend in the second period in the 4-3 sweep clinching win.</p> <p>Through 26 games this season, Moore sits third in Canada West scoring with 12 goals and 23 assists.</p> <p>The Horns have a bye this weekend before returning to action Feb. 26-27 when they close out the regular season at home against Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Saskatchewan Huskies.</p> <p> </p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-group-format

test a program-best win streak on the road while the men's basketball team begins a series of must-win games as <a href="http://horns.uleth.ca" rel="nofollow">Pronghorn Athletics</a> gears up for the stretch run in its spring sporting schedule.<br> <br> The Pronghorns men's hockey team is riding an eight-game win streak, the longest stretch in the program's history, as it heads to Saskatoon to face the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Saskatchewan Huskies in a two-game set. The Horns, 12-6-0 on the year, are now ranked eighth in the country and after not being in the national rankings for six seasons, have spent three successive weeks in the <a href="http://www.universitysport.ca/" rel="nofollow">CIS</a> top-10.<br> <br> Against Saskatchewan, 12-5-1, the Horns face the country's fourth-rated club. The Huskies split their latest weekend series with Manitoba and lead the Horns by just one point in the Canada West standings. The two teams, who play Friday and Saturday night, split their first series of the season, Oct. 17-18, here in Lethbridge. Saskatchewan won the opener 4-3 before the Horns stormed back for a 7-2 win the next night.<br> <br> The situation isn't as rosy for the men's basketball team, losers of four straight games to fall back to 4-10 on the regular season and four points back of Saskatchewan for the final Central Division playoff spot. They'll host Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Calgary Dinos this weekend in a two-game set that kicks off a stretch of must-win games with just eight games remaining in the regular season.<br> <br> The task won't be easy for the U of L as the Dinos (12-2) come in as the fourth-rated team in the country. Tip-off for the Friday and Saturday contests is 8:15 p.m. each night at the 1st Choice Savings Centre gym.<br> <br> The women's basketball team, 2-12, is coming off its biggest win of the season, a 65-60 overtime victory over Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Alberta Pandas, as it prepares to host the Dinos, 6-8. Calgary, still rated eighth in the country, is on a six-game losing skid entering the weekend. The women tip at 6 p.m. each night at the 1st Choice Savings Centre gym.<br> <br> Rounding out weekend action, the Horns women's hockey team will look to improve upon its 1-14-1 mark when they host Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Regina Cougars (3-13-0). The teams split a series earlier in the season. Games go Friday and Saturday nights, 7 p.m. at Nicholas Sheran Arena.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-group-format group_related_topics field-group-div group-related-topics block-title-body speed-fast effect-none"><h2><span>Related Topics</span></h2><div class="field field-name-opencalais-city-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">City:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/city/calgary" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Calgary</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/city/saskatoon" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Saskatoon</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-facility-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Facility:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/facility/university-alberta-pandas" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Alberta Pandas</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/facility/university-saskatchewan-huskies" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Saskatchewan Huskies</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/facility/choice-savings-centre-gym" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Choice Savings Centre gym</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/facility/university-calgary-dinos" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Calgary Dinos</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/facility/university-regina-cougars" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Regina Cougars</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/facility/nicholas-sheran-arena" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Nicholas Sheran Arena</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-organization-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Organization:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/organization/university-saskatchewan-huskies" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Saskatchewan Huskies</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/organization/university-calgary-dinos" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Calgary Dinos</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/organization/1st-choice-savings-centre" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">1st Choice Savings Centre</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/organization/university-alberta-pandas" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Alberta Pandas</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/organization/university-regina-cougars" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Regina Cougars</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/organization/central-division" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Central Division</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-provinceorstate-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">ProvinceOrState:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/province-or-state/saskatchewan" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Saskatchewan</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/province-or-state/manitoba" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Manitoba</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-sportsgame-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">SportsGame:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/sports-game/basketball" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">basketball</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/sports-game/hockey" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">hockey</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-sportsleague-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">SportsLeague:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/sports-league/central-division" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Central Division</a></div></div></div></div><span property="rnews:name schema:name" content="Key weekend for Pronghorn Athletics" class="rdf-meta"></span> Fri, 16 Jan 2009 15:51:48 +0000 trevor.kenney 5409 at /unews
