BLeacheR featuRe by Sue Seaborn Team sports often depend on positive chemistry between teammates. And while this is one factor that determines group success, another is that every team needs a leader — an individual who is exciting to watch — someone who takes the tying shot at the buzzer, or can carry teammates on their backs across the finish line. Three such people have emerged over recent years and are definitely Mounties to watch this sports season. Senior volleyball Mountie Caila Henderson, from Brookfield, nS, made an impact from the moment she stepped on campus. She has honed her leadership skills working as a member of the Orientation and the Athletic Affairs Committees, and the Mounties in Motion program. Athletically she has been a conference all-star twice, and in her first season was chosen as the ACAA league and University’s Rookie of the Year. As well she ran every season with the University’s three-time ACAA conference championship cross-country team. On the volleyball court she was even more dominating as Henderson led her team to the CCAA national championships in both her first and third years. Mitch Peters from Sackville, nB, competes in both AUS swimming and ACAA cross-country. Entering his fourth year, Peters is one of the region’s top swimmers. In his first three seasons he broke six University records, made national qualifying times, and won four gold and one silver medal. Caila Henderson Mitch Peters Annually he prepares for his swim season by competing with the University’s cross-country team where he has been a three-time all-star. A sprint specialist and a two-time Canada Games swimmer for new Brunswick, Peters is already a two-time AUS all-star and a two-time University Athlete of the Year. Third-year head hockey coach Zach Ball is another Mountie to watch as he immerses himself in the profession to become a true student of the game. The AUS Coach of the Year last season, Ball was named head bench boss of the nB Under-15 women’s team, and was also named assistant coach with the Team Atlantic Under-18 squad. Also technical director for Sackville Minor Hockey, and a member of the Atlantic Elite Hockey Development Board, he spends considerable time with young, developing players. With each successful year his program receives more attention from outstanding recruits. Success breeds success as they say, and the Hockey Mounties have garnered their fair share of talent in the past two years. Last season two of Ball’s recruits both made the AUS All-Star Rookie team. An Academic All-Canadian, Lindsay James was a welcome addition from Halifax, nS, scoring 12 goals, while Kristen Cooze of Kippens, nL played an important role with the Mounties and Canada’s national ball hockey squad at the world championships. Says Ball of his talented rookies, “We had great success last year, but we can’t rest on our laurels. We have to look ahead and acquire a few more good rookies who will complement the fine play of our veterans.” / 29
