Blazers Athletics celebrated the 2022/23 season at their annual Green & Gold Banquet held in the Great Hall at Canadian Mennonite University this past Tuesday, handing out awards for academics, athletic excellence, and good works, while sharing stories of the season's successes on and off the field of play.
This year the Blazers took home one MCAC Championship, that being the women's basketball team's fifth consecutive provincial title, and the team went on to a finals appearance at the NIAC Championships a week later.

Congratulations to Daniel Cameron of Men's Basketball on being selected the CMU Zueike Male Athlete of the Month for January. The rookie forward has been a handful for the opposition to contain in his first season with the Blazers.
Cameron has undoubtedly been a bright spot for the Blazers who sit squarely in second place in the MCAC standings, and still fighting to earn their spot in the NIAC Championships later in February. The Regina, Saskatchewan native was certainly a big signing in the summer, pegged to be an instant impact player, but few would have guessed he would become so productive so quickly. In a year of huge lineup changes for the Blazers men's basketball squad, Cameron has filled a big void in the starting lineup that led the MCAC Conference standings all of last season.
