Horns celebrate athletes of the year

trevor.kenney — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 21:11:37 +0000

��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge Pronghorn Athletics hosted its annual Blue and Gold Banquet, Friday, Mar. 30, to honour the outstanding athletes in athletic performance and academic achievement.

Over 260 athletes, administrators, and special guests were in attendance for the supper and awards ceremony, with former Pronghorn Daryl Moore serving as guest speaker.

The Award winners are as follows:

FEMALE ATHLETE OF THE YEAR

In only her second season as a Pronghorn, Crystal Patterson led her team to heights that have never been seen by the program. She built off a solid freshman year to become one of the premier goaltenders in Canada West this and was named a Canada West First Team All-Star for her efforts.

The Calgary native backstopped the Pronghorns women's hockey team to its best season in school history and was in goal for all 14 of her team's wins; second most of any goalie in the conference. She also led the conference in minutes played, saves and shutouts, with six. The six shutouts were the third most in a single season in Canada West history. Patterson was also ranked fourth in goals-against-average with a 2.01 GAA and her 0.928 save percentage was third best in Canada West.

MALE ATHLETE OF THE YEAR

In a rarity this year, there are co-male athletes of the year as Jeff Nicol and Ryan Thornley went hand-in-hand this season as they led their team to its best finish at the conference championship in 12 years.

The Horns men's swim team hadn't finished among the top four in the conference team standings since 2000 and both Nicol and Thornley were integral parts of the relay teams that earned valuable team points.

At the conference meet, Nicol led the way with three medals, earning a silver medal in the 200-metre breaststroke and two bronze medals in the 50- and 100-metre breaststroke.

Thornley led the way at the CIS Championships, earning the 'Horns top finish and setting a new school record in the process. Thornley finished sixth in the 50-metre fly and broke an eight-year-old school record.

Both represented the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ at the Canadian Olympic trials this past weekend, with Nicol qualifying for the 'A' final in the 200-metre breaststroke, finishing eighth.

Other major award winners included:

Ballendine, Iwanski named Horns Athletes of the Week

trevor.kenney — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 17:56:16 +0000

Senior forward Shelby Ballendine and assistant captain Dan Iwanski made it a hockey sweep of the Pronghorn Subway Athlete of the Week awards.

Ballendine continues to lead the way offensively for the CIS ninth-ranked Pronghorn women's hockey team and was a key to the 'Horns' road split in Regina.

Ballendine scored the lone goal Friday night in a 3-1 loss to the Cougars. The next night, Ballendine assisted on the 'Horns' first three goals as the club rebounded with a 4-0 victory in the weekend finale.

Through 12 games this season, Ballendine sits fifth in conference scoring with five goals and six assists.

On the men's side, Iwanski recorded four points as the Pronghorn men's hockey team put an end to a losing streak and earned three of a possible four points versus the Regina Cougars.

Friday night, in the 'Horns 5-2 win over the Cougars, Iwanski score once and added two assists and managed a plus-3 rating. Saturday, with the team down 2-0 to start the third period, Iwanski initiated the 'Horns' rally, assisting on Captain Dustin Moore's goal to cut the Cougar lead in half. The 'Horns earned a point in an eventual 3-2 overtime loss.

Both hockey teams are on a bye this weekend.

Bowles, Patzer named top Horns athletes

trevor.kenney — Fri, 07 May 2010 20:06:31 +0000

Scott Bowles did his work on the defensive end while Ashley Patzer was at her best leading offensive forays, but the one thing they had in common was their ability to lead. The duo took home honours as Pronghorn Male and Female Athletes of the Year respectively, celebrating with more than 330 athletes, administrators and special guests at the recently held Pronghorn Athletics Blue and Gold Banquet.

Bowles, in his third year as the Horns men's hockey team goaltender, was at his best in the second half of the season as the Horns made an impressive playoff charge, eventually falling just two points shy of reaching the post-season.

Bowles was named a second team Canada West all-star after leading the conference in saves and most shots faced and placing second in victories.

Patzer, competing in her final season of eligibility, went out with a bang, leading the Pronghorns to their third straight Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) national title while earning CIS player of the year, all-Canadian and CIS tournament all-star honours.

The Horns went undefeated throughout the year and Patzer led the charge, scoring 75 points in the 10 U of L victories. It is Patzer's second straight female athlete of the year award.

The ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge Pronghorns late charge for a Canada West men's hockey playoff spot did not go unnoticed by those selecting year-end individual awards. The Horns, who were the hottest team in the second half of the season, boasted one major award winner and three all-star selections as Canada West announced its year-end award winners on Thursday.

Leading the way for the Horns was Adam Chorneyko, who was voted the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Alberta Hockey Alumni Trophy winner as the league's outstanding rookie.

Chorneyko led all freshmen in scoring in Canada West with 35 points, including 16 goals, which was also the fourth best offensive output in the conference. In 26 games, the former Lethbridge Hurricane had 12 multi-point contests, including his first CIS hat trick January 31 versus the UBC Thunderbirds.

Chorneyko was a key component in the Horns going 9-2-1 after Christmas, playing themselves back into post-season contention until the final weekend of the season. In addition to his offensive prowess, Chorneyko was also responsible in his own end of the ice, tying for the conference lead in plus/minus rating at +18

"Adam quickly stepped in and became our number one centre and top goal scorer," says Horns head coach Greg Gatto. "Adam was a threat at both ends of the ice as he finished in the top five scorers for points and goals, and was a Canada West leader in plus/minus."

Chorneyko wasn't the only Pronghorn to earn accolades. Defenceman Ryan Pottruff (third year) and forward Dustin Moore (third year) were each named to the Canada West First All-Star Team, while goaltender Scott Bowles (third year) earned second team all-star honours.

Price, Moore earn Pronghorn awards

Key games brought out big efforts from Stephanie Price and Dustin Moore this past weekend, earning the duo recognition as Subway Pronghorn Athletes of the Week.

Price and the women's basketball Horns faced a must-win scenario against ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Calgary Dinos this past weekend and she responded with a stellar effort in the Horns' 93-84 victory.

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 Canada West 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.

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.

The Horns will now travel to face ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Regina Cougars, Feb. 25-27, in the first round of playoffs.

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 ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Calgary and ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Saskatchewan for the final playoff position in Canada West.

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.

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.

Through 26 games this season, Moore sits third in Canada West scoring with 12 goals and 23 assists.

The Horns have a bye this weekend before returning to action Feb. 26-27 when they close out the regular season at home against ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Saskatchewan Huskies.

Horns lose triple-overtime classic

trevor.kenney — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 15:17:04 +0000

It took 54 shots and 33 minutes and 46 seconds of overtime before Scott Bowles and the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge Pronghorns men's hockey team finally succumbed. The Horns dropped a 4-3, triple-overtime heartbreaker to ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of British Columbia Thunderbirds, Sunday night at Nicholas Sheran Arena, giving the T-Birds a 2-1 Canada West playoff series victory.

Bowles, a star all weekend, made numerous saves to keep his club in the hunt Sunday, none better than a sprawling stop with the paddle of his stick as time ticked down in the waning seconds of the second overtime frame. The stop, which took away an open net bid, extended the game and the Horns' season and prompted a standing ovation from another strong and boisterous Pronghorn crowd. The club, however, couldn't find a way to get a shot by T-Birds' netminder Francois Thuot and UBC eventually netted the winner on a point shot deflection that also rebounded off a Pronghorn defender and by Bowles in the third overtime period.

The triple-overtime classic was the second longest game in Canada West playoff history, falling just shy of the 39:16 of extra time played between ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Saskatchewan and ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Alberta, Mar. 10, 2007. It was also a fitting end to a series that started with back-to-back overtime games Friday and Saturday nights. UBC won the opener on Friday with the Horns extending the series with a dramatic last-minute comeback and victory on Saturday.

On Sunday, Dustin Moore had a pair of goals and Ryan Pottruff added a single to go along with Bowles' 50-save performance in net. Thuot stopped 45 shots for the T-Birds, who have now won successive playoff series over the Pronghorns. The teams last met in the spring of 2007 when UBC again prevailed 2-1.

UBC advances to face ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Saskatchewan in the second round of playoffs this weekend. The other Canada West semifinal sees ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Regina visit ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Alberta.

Silver lining to China trip

trevor.kenney — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 16:48:33 +0000

��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge Pronghorns men's hockey players Ryan Pottruff and Dustin Moore captured silver medals for Canada as the 2009 Winter Universiade concluded in Harbin, China this past weekend.

Pottruff, a second-year defenceman from Woodstock, Ont., and Moore, a second-year forward out of Red Deer, were part of the Canada West all-star squad that was chosen to wear Canadian colours at the Universiade. The Canadian squad advanced to the gold medal game after sweeping through the round robin portion of the event with a perfect 4-0 record and then thumping Slovakia 8-1 in Friday's semifinal game.

In Saturday's final, Canada fell behind 2-1 to unbeaten Russia after 20 minutes. A scoreless second period was followed by Canada's tying goal early in the third period. Russia eventually earned the win with a pair of goals 46 seconds apart in the game's final three minutes.

Both Pottruff and Moore return to Lethbridge this week to rejoin their Pronghorn teammates as they prepare to host the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of British Columbia Thunderbirds in the first round of the Canada West playoffs. The best-of-three series is set for this weekend, Mar. 6-8 at Nicholas Sheran Arena. All three games of the series, if necessary, are scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.

Moore leads Canada into semis

trevor.kenney — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 21:38:15 +0000

��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge Pronghorns forward Dustin Moore had a pair of assists as Canada clinched a spot in the semifinal round of the 2009 Winter Universiade men's hockey tournament with a 7-2 victory over Kazakhstan on Tuesday.

Moore assisted on a pair of second period goals, including the game-winner, and posted a plus-two rating as Canada swept through the preliminary portion of the event with a perfect 4-0 record. Defenceman Ryan Pottruff, Moore's Pronghorn teammate, also was a plus-two for the Canadians, who will now wait for a semifinal opponent to be determined from the other pool.

The Pronghorns are representing Canada as part of the Canada West all-star squad that was elected to play in the bi-annual event. This year's games are being held in Harbin, China.

Canada, as the top seed out of Group A, will meet the second seed from Group B, in Saturday's semifinal round. Kazakhstan is the second qualifier out of Group A. The top two seeds in Group B will be decided Wednesday as Russia, Slovakia and the United States all have one game to play to determine order. The gold and bronze medal finals will be held Sunday.
