OUTSTANDING OFFENSIVE LINEMAN COMMITS TO THE DINOS:



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.
