Centre Riley Stotts took a welcome break from studying for a geography exam this week to discuss the University of Calgary Dinos' record-breaking 23-game winning streak in Canada West men’s hockey.
But truthfully, Stotts would rather talk about the Dinos' clash with the University of Saskatchewan on Thursday in Game 1 of their Canada West semifinals.
U Sports does not keep official records, but the U of C streak of 23 straight victories is believed to be the third longest in Canadian university men’s hockey history. The Crowchild Classic takes place annually across the sports of hockey, basketball, soccer, and volleyball between the Dinos and local rival Mount Royal. The school with the most wins in the series is awarded a 68-kilogram cast-iron City of Calgary manhole cover

"Our players are in such great shape right now," said Howell, who won a national championship as a player with the Golden Bears in 1992. "We play really fast. We check and get on top of people and force them to turn over pucks. We work hard.The playmaking Stotts leads the way for the Dinos on offence with 10 goals and 37 points in 27 games.
