Trail of Honour

The Blazers Trail of Honour was developed as part of CMU's 25th anniversary programming to recognize student-athletes, coaches, and builders that have helped shape the Blazers Athletics program into what it is today, and will continue to induct new members as new trails are blazed in CMU sporting endeavours.

Evelyn Kampen

Inducted Feb 7, 2025

The first inductee into the Blazers Trail of Honour was former student-athlete, head coach, and strength and conditioning coach Evelyn Kampen. A special athlete in her time at CMU, Kampen made her move back to CMU from Trinity Western, where she featured on the Spartans USports Women's Volleyball roster. After dominating the MCAC for three seasons, and graduating from CMU, Kampen went on to play professionally in Germany and Denmark before returning to Winnipeg where she head coached the Blazers for three seasons, capturing an MCAC title in 2016/17. After leaving the Blazers to pursue her personal training certification, Evelyn returned once more for the 2024/25 season as the women's volleyball program strength and conditioning coach. Evelyn passed away on February 13, 2025, after a courageous battle with cancer, leaving an indelible mark on the Blazers Athletics program.

Vaughn Rempel Snider

Inducted Nov 22, 2025

A former student-athlete at one of CMU's predecessor colleges, CMBC, Vaughn Rempel Snider was a standout local athlete in her time, making the move from the University of Winnipeg Wesmen, where she won a CIS Women's Volleyball National Championship to lead the team here at CMBC's Shaftesbury campus. Vaughn was instrumental in the early days of CMU as the Assistant Athletics Director, helping shape the program, including pioneering its summer sports camps. As a coach, Vaughn built the women's volleyball program into a perennial contender, and was a major architect of the team's success in their run of titles from 2005-2010.
