UNBC Medieval Club Dominates 108

Rivalry Between
Ice Wolves Sure To

Heat Up

by AJ Delisle

Hockey season is
back for another year at
UNBC. This year there
will be three teams
under the UNBC name.
The B team from last
year is now playing
under junior varsity sta-
tus and will once again
play in the Prince
George Rec League B
division. The other wolf-
pack teams will play in
the C division.
Thanks to the continued
interest in ice hockey
here at UNBC and with
. the departure of one of
the club teams to J.V.
status, the UNBC hock-
ey club has been able to
form a second C team.
This third UNBC team
will be called the Grey
Wolves so as not to be
confused with the
Wolfpack ice hockey
team. With the addition
of the Grey Wolves over
forty-five students play
hockey in the men's
Prince George league,
under the UNBC name.
Since there are now two

teams in the C division
an intense UNBC vs
UNBC rivalry is sure to
develop. The first game

is Monday Oct 4th at the
Prince George
Multiplex. The puck

drops at 9 pm. A source
revealed that this game
has a lot more than just
2 points on the line.
Both club teams are
looking for outside
sponsorship to offset
the high cost of joining
the league and pur-
chasing practice time.
This year club members
paid between $350 and
$400 to play hockey for
UNBC. Practice time
will cost an additional
$160 every time.

Both club teams have
played their first games
of the season already.
The Wolfpack defeated
the city workers 7-3,
while the Grey Wolves
fell to Canfor by a score
of 10-3.

All students are invited
to attend the UNBC vs
UNBC opener.

Mile Tourney

by Amanda
Smedley & Nicole Tonn

Dominate, you say?
Yes. Domination.

The Wolfpack trav-
eled to 108 Mile House
for the Feast Of The
Forest and _ funny
weapons tourney on the
weekend of September
25th. In a _ funny
weapons tournament,
all heavy fighters con-
tribute their equipment
(swords, shields, spears
etc...) to a pool. Cards
are drawn just before
each fight, the cards
indicating which instru-
ment of destruction is
used to pulverize the
enemy. This produces
interesting results, as
the battles that follow
can invoke surprise for
both fighters and spec-
tators. These tourneys
require a__ certain
amount of skill as the
newer fighters may not
have trained with the
weapon they draw. For
instance, if you’ve never
fought with a dagger,
and you draw a dagger
as your weapon, you
are in for a rough battle.

One of the most
challenging fights was
called “the Blind
Samurai”. When_ this
card was drawn both
fighters were blind-fold-
ed and spun around
before the fights began.

It can be extraordinarily
funny to watch as these
macho men in noisy
armour drop to the
ground and _ gently
sweep the air with their
daggers. The “spectator
silence” rule is difficult
to maintain when faced
with the unbelievable
urge to giggle.

Despite the uncer-
tainty of weaponry, our
fighters performed with
excellence. They dis-
played their fighting tal-
ent and perseverance
by placing first, second,
and fourth, with the
entire pack placing in
the top ten. Our fighters
did indeed dominate!
Our champion was gen-
erously awarded with a
beautiful (and lethal

looking) East Indian
tiger hunting sword.
The Feast Of The
Forest followed the tour-
nament. The menu con-
sisted of breads and
cheeses, soups, salads,
and a roast pig. Yes we
did say a roast pig.
During the feast we
were entertained with a
variety of Highland and
Irish dancing, bards
singing medieval songs
and telling stories, and
a marriage proposal.
After the feasting
we all gathered outside
around the warmth of
the bonfire. Here the
flames brought out the
mischieviousness in us
all (oh wait maybe that
was the Port!) as we
joked and recapped old

war stories. Our hosts
kept in stitches all night
with songs of every sort
and hilarious stories.

As the night wore
on the air turned colder
and ithe rain started to
fall. We were forced to
seek shelter in our
encampment. The event
was held in a large (very
very large) barn. The
ground floor of the barn
consisted of horse
stalls, thankfully they
had not been occupied
for quite some time. So
we retired to our horse
stalls in the old barn,
and dreamt pleasant
dreams of medieval
splendour and even
more victories.
