Spring Camp Report 2

The Dinos went through their third day of spring camp at Hellard Field under cold and wet conditions. The weather was less than ideal but football is played in adverse weather conditions thus you practice in the same conditions.

Friday evening’s practice marked the first time the coaching staff viewed the freshman players from outside Calgary. Out of town player players include kicker Callum Duke (Mt. Douglas) Victoria as well as Lethbridge products Joel Van Pelt and Ross DeLauw. Other players from outside of Calgary are wide receiver Scott Naujoks from St. Pauls from Winnipeg, receiver Scott Childs (Ballenas), Parksville, B.C. Another out of town player is offensive lineman Tyler Borowicz from Drumheller, AB., via the Kamloops Broncos of the BCFC.

Training camp equipment assistant Liam Semeniuk also arrived from Vernon, B.C., along with Sam Carson from Kelowna. Sam is the son of former Dinos Assistant Coach and player Paul Carson. Sam helps with equipment chores.

Players that have stepped up from last year include defensive linemen Riley Nicholls, Eric Egan, and wide receiver Michael Klukas. Klukas saw action last year down the stretch but has been outstanding thus far.

Former Dino linebacker and two-time Canada West President’s Trophy nominee Sam Hurl is also helping with training camp. Hurl was a member of the Grey Cup Champion Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Another spectator at the camp was Canadian Football League player and former Dino star running back Anthony Woodson. Woodson is the older brother of sophomore inside halfback Robbie Woodson.

The Dinos will hit field Saturday afternoon and again Sunday afternoon with a scrimmage..
