The University of Calgary
football Dinos are thankful Nic Auvigne enjoys the outdoor lifestyle that is
prevalent around the Calgary
area.
An avid
outdoorsman, the 6’2”, 260 lbs. Auvigne has a passion for big game hunting and
fishing. This love of nature will fit in very well with many of the veterans on
the current Dinos roster.
“My home is Alberta. I love Alberta and did not have
any desire to leave home. I love the outdoor life and have players on the Dinos
I am familiar with,” stated the 17 year old Auvigne, who is undecided which
courses he will pursue at the University
of Calgary.
Nic had a
stellar youth football career in the Cowboys organization playing atom, pee
wee, bantam and midget in their system under well respected coaches that
included Tony Spoletini, Al Cooper and Phil Collins. With the Cowboys he won a
pair Alberta Bantam Championships as well as anchoring the offensive line on
the Cowboys Midget Calgary Championship teams the past two seasons earning
Midget all-star honors in 2016 and 2017.
Auvigne had the
unique distinction of playing and starting senior High School football for
three years at St. Francis, including his Grade 10 year. He was a member of the
Browns Provincial 4A Championship teams in 2015 and 2016 and a member of their
2017 team that lost in the Provincial final in 2017. Nic played both ways in
High School and was a two time Calgary
High School all-star and
was coached by Tyler Park.
Nic was
approached by several U Sports schools having considerable interest from UBC
and Ottawa before signing his U Sports Letter of
Intent with Calgary.
Nic was a member
of U16 Alberta team and also competed with the Bantam Bowl Selects in Lethbridge.
“Nic has great
size and is very athletic. He is a very aggressive player and will be great fit
on our young and strong offensive line. Nic committing keeps allows the
connection between St. Francis and the Dino to continue,” states Offensive
Coordinator Ryan Sheahan.
Nicolas is the
son of Darryl and Marisa Auvigne.
