HEADING HOME

Friday’s game against the University of Manitoba Bisons at Investors Group Field will be a home coming for one member of the current Dinos football program.

Freshman offensive lineman Curtis Krahn will suit for his first Canada West game and as fate would have it, it is against the University of Manitoba Bisons. The Winnipeg native did not dress against the UBC Thunderbirds due to injury and joined the 45 player active roster this weekend when starting right guard Ryan Prueter was injured late in the team’s opening triumph against UBC.

“It is exciting to go back home and dress,” stated 6’3”, 290 lbs. Krahn who joined the Calgary program this season after playing Junior Football for the Winnipeg Rifles of the Prairie Football Conference. Krahn is expecting a large throng of followers of family and friends at the contest. Krahn was named Winnipeg Rifle of the Year in 2014. “I am expecting about 35-40 people there I know at the game,” stated the first year Arts student.

A graduate of College Louis Reil, Krahn was recruited by the Bisons but chose the Dinos after making a recruiting visit to Calgary in the off-season.

In addition to having Krahn and his throng of supporters in the stands for the game, current Winnipeg Blue Bombers starters and former Dino players – middle linebacker Sam Hurl and offensive guard Sukh Chung are expected to attend the game. It is also anticipated that former all-star defensive back Tye Noble, currently a High School in Winnipeg will be there to see some of his former teammates.
