Renovations to Percival
Molson Stadium have
kept the best of the old
and combined it with
the best of the new.
The McGill Sports Complex is not only a place to exercise and compete, it’s also
a hub of social activity. Whether you play on an intramural team, enjoy pick-up
games of soccer, basketball or volleyball, take a fitness class or play on a
varsity team, the gym is a great way to meet fellow students.
Former varsity athletes consistently remark on how they created friendships
with teammates that far outlasted their athletic and university careers.
That proof lies in our celebration this fall of the 1960 football team who won
the university national championship 50 years ago. This remarkable delegation
of athletes has gone on to build successful lives outside of McGill, yet have
remained in touch with their teammates throughout the numerous decades
since hoisting the Yates Cup in triumph.
Similar experiences have occurred amongst our intramural teams with alumni
remaining active in our leagues years after graduation. The “50’s” have been
playing intramural hockey for 15 years or so and show no signs of hanging up
their skates anytime soon.
It’s this kind of bond between friends that athletics has been known to forge.
So don’t limit your university experience to the classroom. Join a team, learn
a new sport, play a game of pick up or work up a sweat with your fellow
students in fitness and recreation classes. The McGill Sports Complex is more
than a collection of athletic facilities, it’s a vital part of campus life.

percival Molson stadiuM
G E t S A FA C E l I F t
by Jill Barker
McGill is the proud owner of the oldest and newest stadium in Canada.
Built in 1914 on the grounds of Madonald Park, the stadium was originally called
McGill Graduates Stadium before being named after WW1 war hero Percival Molson
in 1919. Since then there have been regular updates and renovations, the most recent
of which took place over the last nine months.
Today’s version of Percival Molson Stadium
keeps the best of the old and combines it
with the best of the new. More seats (5000
in the east end-zone and south side), a new
south-side concourse and sky boxes for
corporate clients have been added and the
stadium itself has be spruced up.
Most of these improvements were made
at the behest of our most famous tenant,
the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian
Football League. But there is little doubt that
McGill students and staff will benefit from
the renovations.
Molson Stadium is known for its great site
lines and intimate atmosphere. And while the
number of fans watching a typical Redmen
or Martlet game will struggle to fill the 25,012
capacity, most McGill fans congregate in
significant enough numbers on the south
side to create a critical mass that is more
than capable of cheering on the home team.
But it’s not just the improvements in the
stadium that will be of benefit to McGill.
The eastern entrance off Mount Royal
Park has been significantly enhanced.
8
Intercollegiate Sports
Improved landscaping along the east road
that runs up toward the McConnell Arena
is more pleasing both esthetically and
environmentally. And the concourse at the
stadium entrance level is a great place for
McGill fans to gather to enjoy a pre-game
refreshment while getting pumped up for the
action to come.
Once in the stadium, McGill fans can enjoy
a collegial atmosphere made all the more
pleasant by the stadium improvements. As
usual, fans can quench their thirst and enjoy
our environmentally friendly “Cans in the
Stands” service as well as grab a bite from
the many concessions outlets.
To showcase the stadium we have some
great action planned for the season. Our
Redmen soccer team made it to the CIS
finals last year and is hoping for a return visit
in 2010. The football team has an exciting
young quarterback in Jonathan Collin, an up
and coming kicker in Austin Anderson and a
great pair of hands in veteran Charles-Antoine
Sinotte. And our women’s soccer team
is in contention for the top of the Quebec
university league and has a run at being a
contender in the national championships.
Also on display in the stadium is our lacrosse
and rugby teams who use it to practice and
for select league games.
But it’s not just the varsity teams that enjoy
the stadium. Our intramural soccer and
ultimate Frisbee leagues use the stadium for
their games. And McGill’s many recreational
runners train on the 400-metre track.
This is a vast improvement from 1997 when
the stadium stands were in disrepair and
a tree had taken up residence in a section
on the north side. No matter how good the
game, McGill fans weren’t inclined to spend
a beautiful fall day or evening cheering on
the home team from bleacher seating that
left splinters where splinters should never be.
But that era of the stadium is now part of
its storied history. Percival Molson Stadium,
like McGill itself, ranks tops among Canadian
universities. But don’t take my word for
it, buy a ticket for a home game and see
for yourself.

Jonathan collin. QuarterbacK - redMen Football.
by Meaghan Leonard
Getting to Know JC.
A native of Montreal’s South
Shore, Jonathan Collin, 21,
is proud to call Montreal his
home and even more proud
to be a McGill Redmen.
Football is his game, which
he says is largely due to the
influence of his family. His
uncle played at a competitive
level and his grandparents
founded his childhood
football program.
So strong was the pull of football that he gave
up an opportunity to play major junior hockey
in favour of being a quarterback.
“It was either go for it in hockey, or play
football and get an education,” said Collin.
Currently in year two of a degree in secondary
Education with an emphasis on history and
geography, the quality of education was
something Collin was looking for when
deciding what university he would attend.
“I had a lot of opportunities to go to different
schools, but McGill (football team) seemed
to be going places.”
That combined with a “top notch” education
and he was sold on becoming a Redmen.
Although growing up idolizing Brett Favre
and the Packers, JC is not your typical
quarterback. The one thing he loves to do
when he has a spare moment is spending
time with his family.
“My family is a huge part of my life,” said
Collin. “They will travel anywhere to watch
me play.”
That dedication includes a 13+ hour drive
to the Maritimes as well as a large cheering
section for all home games.
www.mcgill.ca/athletics
Jonathan Collin gets advice on the sidelines.
What else sets JC apart from the pack?
Consider the way he prepares himself for
games. His iPod playlist includes not just
favourites Shwayze and Asher Roth but also
a few French folk songs. And instead of head
banging pump up tunes, JC much prefers
the music of a classic country singer.
“I’m pretty different than most football guys;
I listen to a lot of Johnny Cash.”
According to Collin a quarterback doesn’t
need to be overly pumped up so a little
Johnny Cash is perfect to help him stay calm
and focused before a game.
The family-loving Johnny Cash fan aside,
JC is still an athlete with a lot on his plate.
Balancing football, school, a job, and a social
life isn’t easy.
“Finding time to do everything you want in life
is difficult,” says Collin.
Being a student athlete has its advantages
too of course. JC has learned how to prioritize
his time so that he can be successful at
both football and school. Part of that time
management skill includes learning how to
leave a bad loss on the field.
And while he admits that it’s good for him and
his teammates to look back on the games
that they almost had, he reminds himself that
“the sun’s still gonna come up tomorrow!”
With that in mind, Collin is looking forward to
the upcoming 2010 season. His seemingly
simple goal for this season is “to win more
games than last year.” In order to meet his
objective both he and the team are well
aware of the things that need to be different.
“We want to be a team that will never quit
and we want to establish an identity,” says
JC . “We want to be known as something
more than just the smart kids.”
JC thinks that this year’s team is capable of
great things. He credits his team as being
“a great bunch of guys who all get along”
but most importantly he is impressed with
their attitude.
“We’re all driven toward the same goal;
everyone wants to win.”
After all, learning how to deal with a loss is
one thing, but celebrating a win as a team is
something Collin is looking forward to doing
more often this season.
“I try not to dwell on it too much,” he says
of his mood when his team comes up short.

McGill ruGby player lands nasa internship
Former Redmen and Olympic swimmer Richard Pound, who went
on to a lengthy administrative career with the International Olympic
Committee, headlines a new cast of six inductees announced for the
McGill Sports Hall of Fame.
Former Martlet rugby player Laura Drudi, a second-year medical
student at McGill University, spent the summer at the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Ames Academy in the San
Francisco area. Drudi, 21, was the only Canadian accepted among
650 applicants and is one of only 11 university students attending
the Academy.
Other honourees include Val St. Germain, a stellar Redmen
offensive lineman who played 14 seasons in the Canadian Football
League, Tambra Dunn, a highly-decorated distance runner and
striker Brian Decaire who captained the soccer Redmen to a
national championship in 1981.
Selected in the builder category is former football and hockey coach
Bob Pugh who served 13 years as director of athletics at the
University’s Macdonald campus. Rounding out the slate is McGill’s
legendary 1919 Yates Cup championship football team, which
outscored their opponents by a lopsided 94-8 margin and featured
a defence that did not concede a single touchdown.
The induction luncheon, scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 30, 2010,
officially kicks off the University’s Homecoming Week celebrations.
Tickets for the event are $65 and can be reserved by contacting
Kathryn Weaver at [email protected] or 514-398-7002.

Guy Boucher, a former team captain of the McGill University Redmen,
was appointed head coach of the National Hockey League’s Tampa
Bay Lightning in June. The 38-year-old native of Roxboro, Que., is
the fifth former Redmen player to serve as a coach in the NHL and
becomes the youngest current bench boss in the league.
Standing beside Boucher as an assistant coach will be another
McGillian Martin Raymond, who played for McGill during his college
years and served another 14 seasons as head coach of the McGill
University men’s hockey team.
Coincidentally, Boucher’s rise through the coaching ranks began in
1996 as an apprentice to Martin Raymond with the Redmen, so the
two are no strangers to working together. Boucher and Raymond
also coached together last year in Hamilton, the AHL affiliate of the
Montreal Canadiens. Raymond held the position of assistant coach
to Boucher who was named AHL coach of the year.

David DeAveiro has been appointed head coach of the McGill
University men’s basketball team after a stellar career with the Ottawa
Gee-Gees, where he was the team’s all-time leader in coaching
wins, posting an impressive 210-127 record overall (.623), including
a 122-66 mark in regular-season play (.649). DeAveiro was named
three times as OUA East coach of the year (2006, 2007, 2010).
He also served as an assistant coach with Canada Basketball on
numerous occasions.
Kelly Nobes, a McGill University graduate, becomes the 28th
coach in team history and the 11th former Redmen player to guide
the Redmen hockey squad.
Nobes brings nine years of head coaching experience
in Canadian Interuniversity Sport. He spent the past four
campaigns at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, where he
posted an impressive 77-34-1 regular-season mark (.692),
guiding the Golden Hawks to the second-highest win total of
all 19 teams in the OUA during that span and also earned a berth a
the CIS championships in 2007.
Nobes played four seasons at McGill as a centre and graduated as
the ninth-leading scorer in Redmen history with 181 points, including
64 goals, in 131 career games.
we want your shoes!
The Reuse, Resole, Rerun program collects unwanted athletics
shoes from the McGill community and local athletic groups and helps
them find a new life somewhere else. In collaboration with Yes Inc’s
Shoes for Africa (and more recently Haiti) and Nike’s Re-use-a-Shoe
program, all donated shoes will either be reworn by those in need or
broken down into workable raw materials for reuse.
The campaign is on-going with special “blue boxes” tailored to
accept gently used and worn out shoes. The receptacles are located
at the McGill Sports Centre and are easily accessible to all gym users.
To help defray shipping costs, donations of a toonie or loonie will
be accepted during specific drives and by individuals dropping off
shoes at our Sports Complex location.
