For Episode 29 of our Gryph Nation Radio podcast, we catch up with a pair of proud Gryphon alumni who, following their days as student-athletes at the University of Guelph, have gone on to earn the coveted titles of Canadian Olympians. With Thursday, February 4 marking exactly one year away from the 2022 Winter Olympic Games in Beijing, we thought it would be the perfect time to catch up with Mirela Rahneva (Canadian Olympian in the women's skeleton in PyeongChang, 2018) and Cody Sorensen (Canadian Olympian in the men's 4-man bobsleigh, Sochi 2014).Mirela "Mimi" Rahneva played four seasons with the Gryphons women's rugby from 2007 to 2010. During her time as a Gryphon, Mimi was a three-time OUA champion and four-time CIS bronze medalist while studying tourism management. Following her graduation, Mimi made a seamless transition from the rugby pitch to the sled, where she has gone on to become a fixture on the international circuit for skeleton. Mimi currently has her sights set on Beijing 2022 where she hopes to earn the title of two-time Olympian.Ottawa native Cody Sorensen attended the University of Guelph from 2004 to 2008, competing on the Gryphons men's track and field team. During his days as a Gryphon student-athlete, Cody was a three-time national medalist in the men's 60m hurdles, and was a key part of an unforgettable 2007-08 season when the Guelph Gryphons were crowned national champions for the first time in program history (on both the men's and women's sides). After earning his undergrad from U of G in management economics and finance, Cody would move from the track to bobsleigh after turning heads at an open identifiction camp held by Bobsleigh Canada at York University. After serving as an alternate at the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver, Cody would officially earn the title of Olympian at the 2014 Games in Sochi where he represented Canada in the four-man bobleigh alongside Justin Kripps, Jesse Lumsden and Ben Coakwell.
For our first episode of 2021, we are dipping into our favourite reoccurring segment on Gryph Nation Radio with our latest edition of “Champions Corner." For each "Champions Corner" episode, we do a little blast-to-the-past to catch up with former Gryphon student-athletes who helped secure some of the greatest championship moments in U of G history. To this day, the Guelph Gryphons have been crowned national champions in football just once in program history. The year was 1984. The Gryphons put together an unforgettable playoff run, culminating with a 22-13 victory over the Mount Allison Mounties on Nov. 24, 1984 in the Vanier Cup, which was played at Varsity Stadium in Toronto in front of nearly 20,000 fans!Joining us for Episode 27 are a pair of proud Gryphon alum from the '84 Gryphon football squad, who had front row seats to watch the Gryphon fans storm the field and tear down the uprights at Varsity Stadium on that cold, November day. From the offensive side of the ball, we have Jed Tommy joining us! Jed wore No. 23 for the Gryphons and was the team's bruising fullback who was named Team MVP of the '84 team. Jed suited up for the Gryphons from 1981-1984 and was inducted into the Gryphon Hall of Fame in 2004. After his playing days as a Gryphon, Jed went on to put together an outstanding CFL career which included earning the title of Grey Cup champion with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in 1986. Also joining us is Pat Tracey, who was a starting cornerback on the Gryphons 1984 Vanier Cup-winning team. Pat played football for the Gryphons from 1982-1986, serving as a key piece of a loaded Gryphon defence. Following his football playing days at the University of Guelph, Pat Tracey went on to put together one of the most decorated and respected collegiate coaching careers in our country, with over 30 years of coaching experience in Canadian university football. Pat's coaching career started at his alma mater, where he was actually part of two more Yates Cup championships with the Gryphons in 92 and 96. He was at Queen's University from 2000-to-2013 (and was defensive coordinator of the Gaels 2009 Vanier Cup team) and currently serves as defensive coordinator out west with the UBC Thunderbirds. Pat Tracey's impressive coaching resume also includes a pair of stops in the pro ranks, with the former Gryphon coaching with the Ticats in 1998 as well as with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers from 2014-15.Jed and Pat share some vivid memories from the Gryphons run to the 1984 Vanier Cup, with the full episode available on Thursday, Jan. 7 across all major podcast platforms.
Episode 26 of our Gryph Nation Radio podcast marks our final episode of 2020! To help us reflect on the year that was (from a COVID perspective), we chat with two special guests in Dr. Tim O'Shea and Sarah Mau. From 1994-to-1997, Tim O'Shea studied biomedical sciences at the University of Guelph and played for four seasons on our Guelph Gryphons men's rugby team. After graduating from U of G, he completed his medical degree at McMaster, while also earning his Masters of Public Health from Harvard University. He is trained in internal medicine, infectious diseases and medical microbiology at McMaster and is currently an Assistant Professor in McMaster's Department of Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases. Our chat with Dr. O'Shea revolves around COVID-19 vaccines, with the first vaccine shots in our country just administered earlier this week (Dec. 14, 2020).After Dr. O'Shea starts off Episode 26 with some great COVID-19 insight from a medical perspective, we shift our conversation to provide our listeners with some updates from the perspective of the Department of Athletics. Sarah Mau, the Associate Director (Programming, Facilities, Fitness & Recreation) with Gryphon Athletics, joins us to reflect on how the past nine months have impacted the Department of Athletics at the University of Guelph.
For Episode 19 of the Gryph Nation Radio podcast, we chat with the Mayor of the City of Guelph, and avid Gryphon supporter, Cam Guthrie. Prior to becoming Mayor of Guelph, Cam Guthrie was a licensed insurance broker and local entrepreneur for 16 years. He holds a business diploma from Sir Sandford Fleming College in Peterborough. In 2008, the Guelph Mercury named him one of the city's top “40 Under 40.” After serving as a City Councillor (Ward 4) for four years (2010-2014), Cam was elected Mayor of Guelph in December of 2014. In 2018, he successfully was re-elected for a second term.On top of his accomplished career in politics, Mayor Guthrie is also a talented drummer, having played on several studio recordings, and produced or co-produced several albums. He is also a loyal fan of the Guelph Gryphons, the Guelph Storm, and the Guelph Royals. He and his wife, Rachel, are the proud parents of two children (Anikan, age 17, and Adelaide age 16). Mayor Guthrie stops by the Gryph Nation Radio podcast to provide us with some terrific insight into the dynamic between the University of Guelph and the City of Guelph, and how those two entities have worked together seamlessly through the years. The Mayor weighs in on a variety of topics, from the City-wide benefits that have come from the contributions made by the U of G students, and to some of the most successful programming offered by Gryphon Athletics, including the local high school football "Fryday Night Lights" series, which was launched back in 2018 to showcase Guelph high school football, with games taking place at U of G's Alumni Stadium.
Episode 17 marks the first edition of our new, reoccurring segment which we've titled Champions Corner where we will be doing a little blast-to-the-past to catch up with former Gryphon student-athletes who helped secure some of the greatest championship moments in U of G history during their time as Gryphon varsity student-athletes.For our first Champions Corner edition, we're going back 24 years to March of 1997, when the Guelph Gryphons were crowned national champions for the first (and still to this date, the only) time in Gryphons men's hockey history. Nearly 6,000 fans filled the lower bowl at the iconic Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto to watch the Gryphons capture the 1996-97 CIAU title, skating to a 4-3 win over the University of New Brunswick. Joining us to re-live the greatest moment in Gryphon men's hockey history is team captain Chris Clancy, standout goalie Matt Mullin and star defenceman J.P. Davis. Chris Clancy, a Kitchener native who studied arts and played forward for three and a half years with the Gryphons (joining the team mid-way thru the 93-94 season and ending his U of G career with a national title in 96-97) served as team captain and was a former draft pick of the Buffalo Sabres who went on to become a three-time OUAA All-Star during his standout Gryphon career. Matt Mullin, a Guelph native who studied agricultural business during his two seasons as a star goalie for the Gryphons (1995-96 to 1996-97) was the first individual in program history to be named National Player of the Year, earning the prestigious Senator Joseph A. Sullivan Trophy during the Gryphons national-title winning season in 1996-97. J.P. Davis, an Oshawa native who studied biology at U of G, was a two-time All-Canadian who also was named the CIAU Player of the Year during his senior season at Guelph in 1997-98. To date, J.P. Davis and Matt Mullin remain the only Gryphon players in program history to take home National Player of the Year honours. Davis played five seasons with the Gryphons (1993-94 to 1997-98), earning All-Canadian status in each of his final two seasons. In 2014, J.P. Davis was inducted into the Gryphon Hall of Fame.
For Episode 16 of our Gryph Nation Radio podcast, we are joined by a trio of great guests as we focus our conversation around concussion-related issues in sports.The certified, professional voice joining us is that of Judy Lynch, the head athletic therapist within the University of Guelph's Department of Athletics. Judy is one of the most familiar faces in the department, with over 30 years of experience treating patients and clients, including extensive experience leading the treatment of our very own Gryphon student-athletes. Also joining us for this important chat about concussions is a pair of student-athletes who offer some excellent first-hand perspective when it comes to some of the challenges that exist when it comes to navigating the road to recovery after having suffered a concussion in sport. Burke Bechard is a fourth-year psychology major at U of G and a star on our Gryphons women's basketball team, a two-time OUA All-Star who is fearless on the basketball court. The native of Dover Centre, Ontario has picked up more than a few injury setbacks throughout her impressive athletic career, and she opens up to us specifically about some of the concussions she has suffered during her basketball career. Ross Williams, a landscape architecture major from Oshawa who is in his final year as a Gryphon, competes on the Guelph Gryphons men's rugby team, and has emerged as an extremely valuable voice when it comes to opening up about his experiences having suffered multiple concussions during his rugby career.
Doug Pflug turned 54 a few weeks ago and wants everyone to know that he's doing okay. His body might be 54 but his passion and mind is still in its early 20's. This episode has some inspirational storytelling from Doug, including the discouragement one teacher gave him, and he advice his father taught him when he was in grade 7 that shaped who he is today. Doug also recounted his last days in grade 12 when he last spoke to a classmate who would perish in the 1985 Air India bombing. It was that incident that Doug knew he would work in policing. In the later years, he showed his value in training athletes like Todd Bertuzzi and Jeff O'Neill over the course of a summer. Today he is the strength and conditioning coach of the Guelph Gryphons football team. Doug spent 18 years working with the Guelph Storm and spent some time working with the University of West Virginia Hockey team. You will hear Doug's story and how an empathetic soul like Doug copes with some of the harder days when policing. He also has some great advice to make the world a better place including making at least 10 people smile everyday! Also ask yourself: "Who was I? Who am I? And who do I want to be moving forward?"

For Episode 14, we catch up with a trio of former Gryphon student-athletes, all of whom have used their varsity experiences at the University of Guelph as a launching pad for success when it comes to making the jump to the professional sporting ranks in their respective disciplines. Todd Winder, a dynamic forward on the Guelph Gryphons men's hockey team, recently signed a pro contract in Sweden with Vimmerby HC. Todd spent a total of three seasons as a Gryphon while majoring in management economics and finance, and was named an OUA West First Team All-Star in 2019-20 after finishing tied for 3rd in the OUA in scoring with 39 points in 28 games played. The Uxbridge native capped his Gryphon career back in March of 2020 by helping lead the Gryphons men's hockey team to their seventh OUA title in program history. Zarko Ubiparip also majored in management economics and finance during his three seasons as a Gryphon, where he starred on the Gryphons men's volleyball program. In each of his three seasons, Zarko was recognized at the conference level, including being named an OUA West First Team All-Star in 2019-20, where he helped the Gryphons reach the OUA Men's Volleyball Final Four. Zarko has recently signed a pro contract in Serbia with OK Ribnica Kraljevo. Valerie Lamenta, one of the most decorated women's hockey players in the history of the University of Guelph, joins us to chat about her experience playing professional hockey overseas last season in Hungary (where she led her pro team, KHM Budapest, to a championship in Europe). During her five-year career with the Gryphons women's hockey program, Val was a three-time OUA champion, and also led our women's hockey program to their first ever national title in 2018-19. Val was also the first Gryphons women's hockey player ever to be named the national player of the year, receiving the prestigious U SPORTS Brodrick Trophy during her sophomore season. A mechanical engineering major during her time at Guelph, Val is now pursuing her Masters in her hometown of Montreal at McGill University.Val, Zarko and Todd join us to chat about their journey from Gryphons to the pro ranks!
For Episode 13, we chat with Dr. Tim O'Shea, a leading expert in the field of infectious diseases.From 1994-to-1997, Tim studied biomedical sciences at the University of Guelph and played for four seasons on our Guelph Gryphons men's rugby team. After graduating from U of G, he completed medical degree at McMaster, while also earning his Masters of Public Health from Harvard University. He is trained in internal medicine, infectious diseases and medical microbiology at McMaster (and is Royal College certified in each of these disciplines). Tim O'Shea has traveled and worked extensively in East Africa in both general internal medicine and infectious diseases. He is currently an Assistant Professor in McMaster's Department of Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases.Dr. O'Shea has done some truly inspiring medical work in the Hamilton area, including spearheading a program called “HamSmart” (Hamilton Social Medicine Response Team), while also serving as an integral part of the “Shelter Health Network." Both programs aim to serve people living in the Hamilton who have no family doctor, who are homeless or precariously housed, and who have complex health and social needs (links below for more info).Dr. O'Shea generously takes time from his busy schedule to stop by the Gryph Nation Radio podcast to chat with us about his outstanding medical career while also weighing in on a variety of COVID-19 related topics. Tim also looks back fondly on his time as a student-athlete at the University of Guelph during the mid-to-late 1990's.
For Episode 11, we chat with one of the newest members of our Gryphon family as we connect with longtime NHL linesman Scott Driscoll.Scott recently announced his retirement from the NHL after working an incredible 28 seasons as an NHL linesman. The native of Seaforth, Ontario is now set to join the Gryphons women's hockey team as an assistant coach.With one of the most decorated officiating careers under his belt, Scott's incredible resumé includes a total of 2,032 NHL games (1,847 regular season games, 185 playoff games), three Stanley Cup Finals (2004, 2007 & 2014) and two Winter Classics (2014 Leafs/Red Wings in Ann Arbor, Michigan and the 2020 Winter Classic at the Cotton Bowl in Texas between Dallas and Nashville). His first NHL game was back in 1992, with the last game of his remarkable NHL officiating career coming on March 10, 2020 in Toronto when the Leafs hosted the Tampa Bay Lightning.Scott shares some incredible stories from his nearly three decades with a front row seat to the very best hockey players in the world, and also chats with us about his upcoming transition into the coaching ranks as the latest addition to the Guelph Gryphons women's hockey program.

For Episode 7 of our Gryph Nation Radio podcast, we chat with Dr. Scott VanBommel, a former goalie with the Guelph Gryphons men's hockey team, who now makes a living south of the border in Missouri where he works as a physicist and planetary scientist at Washington University in St. Louis. Scott spent parts of four seasons (2008-09 to 2011-2012) with the Gryphons men's hockey team, suiting up for the Gryphs during the final two years of his undergrad, as well as the first two years of his Masters (in Physics). While part of the men's hockey program, Scott also contributed to a University of Guelph research team (led by Professor Ralf Gellert) that designed and calibrated an instrument called an alpha particle X-ray spectrometer, or APXS for short. This instrument was carried to Mars aboard the Mars rovers, Opportunity and Curiosity. The instrument, which is located on the arm of the Mars rovers, is used to measure the composition of rocks on Mars. Scott's incredible career has multiple highlights, including a 2018 NASA-funded expedition to Antarctica in search of meteorites. The former Gryphons men's hockey goalie also came incredibly close to earning the prestigious title of Canadian astronaut as, for just the third time in the past 25 years, the Canadian Space Agency sent out a recruitment call for astronauts. Out of a pool of over 4,000 applicants, Scott was one of the finalists for the coveted position, ultimately finishing somewhere in the range between the final 30-to-70 candidates in the Canadian Space Agency's search for their next astronaut. Scott provides us with some terrific insight into the whole astronaut selection process and also reflects on his time at the University of Guelph and explains how his athletic background has set him up for success in his current career as a physicist and planetary scientist.

What makes people want to pursue the dream of running professionally? Of picking up and moving thousands of miles away from home to chase down an end of questionable rewards. On this week’s show we chat with two guys who decided to move west and run with the AC West Hub. We’ll check in with Rob Denault and Adam Palamar, and they’ll tell us why they chose that path, and we’ll also play some terminal mile trivia. We also catch up with Speed River and Guelph Gryphons coach Dave Scott Thomas, we’ll preview this Sunday’s finale to the Something In the Water podcast series!
Speed River and the University of Guelph Gryphons have long been known for developing athletes interested in the 800m and up, building most of their legacy off of those events, and being dubbed a “distance school” in the process. However, anyone who has been paying attention to university sports in Canada, has probably noticed that there is a change happening. The Gryphons, while doing great, have experienced a redistribution/augmentation of team points, as they’ve been consistently getting incredible scoring opportunities in the sprint events, with the red, black and gold taking key podium spots in events like the 60 (podiums were earned on both the men’s and women’s side), the 60 hurdles (they won first and second in last years men’s race) and the sprint relays. In the space of just a few years Guelph has gone from “a distance school” to a bit of a powerhouse when it comes to sprinting. This week, we’re going to take a look at a sprint program, it’s driving culture, and the persistence and passion of a young coach with a vision.

KCU Interviews - April 5 Johnny Augustine (RB Guelph Gryphons)
“Le roi est mort, vive le roi.” It’s a phrase that originated in 1400s France, used to mark the passing of the old king, and to celebrate the arrival of a new king. Simply put, in English, “the king is dead, long live the king”. This weekend will see the climax of the CIS Cross Country season happen in Guelph, Ontario, and it promises to be the most exciting it’s been in years, both individually and in the team race. With serious threats from the West, Quebec, the East and Ontario alike, could this be the first year that we say goodbye to the old guard, and welcome in a new king? With XC being as it is, no one really knows, but if one thing is guaranteed,it’s going to be great to watch. On this week’s show, we’ll try and make sense of it all with our panel of experts, residing all across this fine land, as well, we’ll chat with Chris Moulton, assistant coach of the reigning champion Guelph Gryphons and an organizer of the meet this weekend.
