STUDENT-ATHLETES
THE WORLD NEEDS
Huskie Athletics is responsible for developing leaders in our communities.
Huskie Athletics is comprised of 15 different athletic teams that compete in the Canada West Universities Athletic Association.
With 129 Canada West Championships and 27 U SPORTS championships under its belt, Huskie Athletics is one of the most dominant programs in the country. Home to over 2,550 all-stars since 1920, Huskie Athletics strives each year to provide quality programs for athletes while they prepare for the future.
TEAM FUNDS
Investing in a team fund makes an instant impact by enhancing the student-athlete experience. The fund will increase our teams’ annual budgets for recruiting, performance training, coaching support, non-conference travel, equipment, scholarships, and nutritional needs.
Donors can give to their Huskie Athletics program of choice. These investments are essential for competing as a top program in the country.
Featured Projects:
The Huskie Men’s hockey program has always had its sights set on long-term, sustained excellence. However, our student-athletes need even more support to meet the demands of training and competing at the highest level.

Together, with your generosity, we will be able to support player and coach development, recruitment, academic development for our student-athletes, as well as scholarships.
