Mountain Bike Club
Last week a number of our Wolves traveled to Aldergrove to compete in
the second race of their mountain bike season. The boys had a
great race as each person on the team improved their placing from the
previous week's race in Port Coquitlam. Our Wolves were relentless as
they rode a grueling 35-40 minutes over a soft, uneven course.
Here are a few pictures of the boy's in action!
P.A.C. meeting
Our next P.A.C. meeting is slated for May 16th at 7:00 pm.

Mark Your Calendars - Sports Banquet
After hundreds of memorable moments on and off the playing field, it is
time to celebrate the achievements of our many Wolves who took part in
our school athletic program. This year the school athletic
banquet will be taking place on Friday, June 17th. Mr. Lilly’s
catering team will be providing dinner and rumor has it the meal may

The cost for this event will be a mere $5 and deadline for purchasing a

the office next week. All athletes and their families are
invited to attend.
Rugby - Boys Team
Blessed with a roster deep in talent, coaches Farley and Laudadio have
the boys rugby team running on all cylinders. The team
ended the year with a record of 5 wins and just 1 lose. This was
good enough for the team to earn second place in their division.
This was the best ever finish for our Wolves during regular season
play. However, the journey is not over. The team took part
in their first playoff test this week versus a skilled team from
Westview in Maple Ridge. The action on the field was filled with
hard hitting, powerful running and tremendous passing. The teams
appeared evenly matched in the first few minutes of the match but our
Wolves soon took over the game after a number of brilliant
plays. The final score was 48-12 for C.D.G. Boseko L.,
Stuart W., Eddy L. and Mark C. were singled out by the coaches for
their efforts in securing the Chief Dan victory. However,
the man of the match was Sam B. who played spectacularly, taking over
for absent team leader Kris V. Sam demonstrated leadership on the
field which contagiously spread through the team and helped propel the
team to the big victory. Last night the boys won their semi-final
game against Aldergrove and are now on to the finals vs Reimer next
Thursday! Well done boys!
Rugby - Girls Team
The girls rugby team, led by coaches Farley, Schafer and McAvoy, were
in tough this year. Boasting a roster with a number of players
who had never played rugby before made the season a definite learning
experience. However, our girls did not let their lack of
experience stop them from competing game in and game out. Led by
the stellar efforts of players such as Melissa L., Aniya G. and Rebecca
M. the team fought hard in all of their matches. The final game
of the season was a hard fought battle against their cross town rivals
from Clayburn. The girls put up heroic effort in their final game
of the season but came up on the losing end of a 25-10 score.
Great effort girls on a memorable season!
Mountain Bike Club/Team
The newest kid on the block as far as the athletic program is concerned
here at Chief Dan George Middle is the mountain bike club/team.
Led by coaches Piper, Richards and Schafer the two wheel crew has
gotten things rolling in the last couple of weeks. The club is
currently comprised of approximately 30 students from grade 6 -
8. In the club’s first few rides, they have been working on fine
tuning their bike handling skills in a variety of terrain. As
well, the cardio demands are ever increasing making these students
truly tough athletes. The focus of the club is to learn a few
things about mountain biking but most importantly the agenda is to have
a fun time! The club currently meets on Friday afternoons from
2:45 until 5pm. New members are always welcome to come join the
club. Just remember that you need a bike with brakes, a noodle
protector (helmet) and permission form from Mr. Piper.
The Mountain bike racing team is another component of the mountain bike
scene here at C.D.G. The team is currently comprised of 5 members
who take part in races against students from throughout the lower
mainland. The Race team members are Geordi S., Jeffrey T., Colton
B., Caleb P., and Nigel D.. The team’s first few races have been
unbelievable as the boys battled difficult terrain at a hilly course at
Buntzen Lake in Port Moody and a uneven, soft course at Alder Acres out
in Aldergrove. Based upon the current results, Geordi S. is
Abbotsford’s fastest grade 8 rider.
Don’t forget ...... Yearbooks are on sale ..... limited supply!
$20.00 each
Available before and after school each day in the office.
Wrestling
The wrestling program at C.D.G. is led by Coach Mitchell. He has
a tremendous wrestling background and has shared his expertise with our
Wolves who have been busy attending practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays
after school. As Coach Mitchell is in charge of the wrestling
program at Mouat, this has been an excellent opportunity for our
students to get some experience before high school. This week
marks the final week of the month long wrestling experience here at
Chief Dan. Congratulations to all those students who took part in
the action on the mat.
Track and Field
Led by coaches McTaggart, Bunbury, Constant, Richards and Piper our
track stars have been busy fine tuning their skills in preparation for
our upcoming track meets. For grade 8’s the track season has
involved practices on Monday and Wednesday with athletes from Mouat
over at Rotary stadium. In addition, all of our Wolves are
practicing on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school. The team looks
to be coming together very nicely in time for both our school track
meet and the end of the year district championships.

wipeout, we all lasted to enjoy a feast of slushies over at Granny's
Market.
On Saturday, a select crew and Mr. Piper scaled the hill out at
Ledgeview. As none of the club members had ever ridden their
bikes up here before they were in for a real treat. The first
treat served up to them was the hour long climb (both pushing and
riding their bikes) to the top. After scaling the mountain, the
crew relaxed for a few pictures and took in the great view. Then
the downhill....good times and some great spills into the woods.
Three hours after we began, the crew ended up at the bottom of the ride
and headed off home for a well deserved rest.
