Dynamic Warrior Joins Dinos

Receiver Dan Blackmore knew where he wanted to play post-secondary football all along. The 5’11” 185 lbs. graduate of Henry Wisewood High school did not make any visits that were offered him choosing to stay home and play for the hometown Dinos.

“This (Calgary) is where I wanted to go to play. Many of our alumni have gone through the program and have liked it. Everyone that I spoke with was honest, open and they want us to be more than football players but well rounded men,” stated Blackmore who was approached by Simon Fraser University, the University of Alberta and Queens University but signed a Canadian Interuniversity Letter of Intent last week.

Blackmore was a member of Team Alberta in the 2015 Canada Cup tournament in Quebec. In addition he was a Calgary Midget Football Association all-star playing for the Bulldogs program in 2015.

This past year he played tailback for the Warriors but will be used as a receiver with the Dinos. He played three years of High School football playing receiver initially.

“Dan is a versatile athlete who played several positions in High School at Henry Wisewood. His rugby background will make him a solid special team player as well as a dependable receiver,” states Dinos Head Coach Wayne Harris.

Blackmore will enrol in the Haskayne School of Business in September 2016.

He is the son of Karl and Sarah Blackmore.
