2001 could not have started any worse for the already underachieving Dinos’ men’s hockey team.

It’s a little early to be predicting the national championship match in March, but fans at the Jack Simpson Gym last weekend were likely treated to a preview of it when the University of Manitoba Bisons paid a visit to the U of C.

"We absolutely stomped them!" Breathless with excitement, Amanda Moppett celebrated her team’s second straight win over the second-ranked University of Manitoba Bisons last weekend.
