From #Westernu to the world stage. Mark Ideson (BSc’99) is representing Canada once again in wheelchair curling at the 2026 Winter Paralympics in Milano-Cortina. A #WesternMustangs alum and former Mustangs Cheerleading national champion, Ideson’s journey to his fourth Paralympic Games is one of perseverance, resilience, and determination. After surviving a devastating helicopter crash in 2007, he found his way back to sport - ultimately becoming the skip of Canada’s national wheelchair curling team and a three-time Paralympic medalist. The entire Mustangs community is cheering for you on the world stage, Mark. westernmustangs.ca/news/2026/3/10… #Mustangs #Paralympics #RunWithUs #Cheerleading

@ArashMadani @michaelgrange Really well done @ArashMadani . This is the Canadian university sport experience. You can have a balanced, student athlete centered approach to high performance and still aspire to be a post collegiate athlete.

Aaron Rhooms last night was named the national player of the year in Canadian university basketball. But that only begins to tell the story of a soon-to-be pro, who has understood the power of family - at home and with his basketball team. Below is the feature on Rhooms --

@ArashMadani @michaelgrange Agreed ...and the coaching and other elements to create environments to support the performance of our tremendous student athletes has elevated as well!

I've been following CIAU/CIS/U Sports basketball since I was in Grade 5 (walked to school in snowstorms, uphill both ways). Truly mean this: the level of hoops in this country has elevated *so much* from what it once was. What a show these kids are putting on at the Final 8.
