Daniel Cameron: January's Zueike Male Athlete of the Month
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.

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.

No Bad Luck for Blazers on Friday the 13th
The first weekend back in MCAC league play may have started off on Friday the Thirteenth, but it was certainly no day for bad luck for the Blazers. Four wins on Friday night, followed by another four on Saturday had the Blazers take eight of a possible ten games on the weekend slate.
In their first home action since early December, the Blazers volleyball squads hosted Les Rouges at the Loewen as the CCAA marquee matchup for Manitoba and the green and gold didn't dissappoint. Coming off a third place finish at the Niagara Knights Invitational in Southern Ontario, the Blazers men came out firing on all cylinders, taking the first set by a 25-15 scoreline, then the second 25-17 before a third and final tight 25-23 game that gave the Blazers the win. CMU managed to spread the offence around throughout the match, but Duncan Petrie led all players with nine kills from the right side, and added a game-high three aces as well.

The CMU Men's Basketball program is very pleased to announce the commitment of George Fedorchuk for the 2022-23 MCAC and NIAC seasons. The local Oak Park and Central Canada Prep product will bring a scoring touch to the Blazers when he joins the squad for the upcoming season.
