The Bisons are back
Football home opener kicks off on Friday
The Manitoba Bison football team laces up for their home opener this Friday at Investors Group Field against the visiting Saskatchewan Huskies. Game time is 7pm.
This marks the Brian Dobie’s 22nd season as head coach of his number 10 ranked herd at the opening of the 2017 run for the Vanier Cup.
Theo Deezar returns to the Bisons as quarterback and captain for the third straight season and is backed by a full compliment of veterans, also named as captains, on and off the grid. Familiar names like Christie, Dyce, Daley, Fong, Dufault, Rennie and McKoy will support the pivot to lead the team this season.
“All eight captains in 2017 form a strong leadership group that exemplifies the best of Bison Football. They posses a wealth of U SPORTS experience, they are great teammates, excellent student-athletes and impact players on and off the field.” says Dobie.
