TRU celebrates final CIS home game

February 7, 2006

The TRU WolfPack’s final home game of the CIS regular season will be held this Saturday starting at 3:00 pm, with the first 100 fans receiving free pizza compliments of weekend’s sponsor, Domino’s Pizza.

Fifteen minutes before the match begins, the TRU Athletics Division will hold a short ceremony for retiring VP Student Services Neil Russell in recognition of his many years of strong support for and commitment to campus athletics, recreation and student life.

“We will take a few moments just prior to our final CIS match this year to recognize the contributions Neil has made to the Athletics and Recreation Division at TRU,” said TRU Athletics Director Ken Olynyk.

“Neil has been a long-time advocate of student life and experience at the university and has always been in our corner. We are in the CIS in part due to Neil’s diligence and support,” he said.

The weekend features men’s volleyball vs the University of Manitoba Bisons. TRU employees and their families will be admitted free to Saturday’s match upon proof of TRU employment.
