Hugh Fraser: a trailblazer on the oval and in the courtroom

Written on February 26, 2021. Posted in Sports.

When he was seven years old and new to the country, Hugh Fraser had the Canadian right of passage of experiencing his first snowfall. “I remember running outside and jumping without even putting on my coat.

Conversations with Queen's legend Jock Climie

Written on February 26, 2021. Posted in Sports.

For Jock Climie, self-congratulation isn’t really a thing. Even though he boasts a laundry list of accomplishments transcending three professions, the length of which would require the lungs of an Olympic swimmer to speak in one breath, he doesn’t pat himself on the back for them.

Jock Climie’s journey around the world to play football at Queen’s

Written on October 28, 2016. Posted in Sports.

“We showed up that day and it was a snowstorm and they wanted nothing more than to stop me.” November of 1988 was special. Forget jean jackets, neon lights and pop music. For Jock Climie, it was the month his football career — and his life — took off. He paused. “They had nothing to play for except...

Written on September 9, 2016. Posted in Sports.

It’s often believed that one of the many roles of coaches is to help inspire athletes. Due to concussions and shoulder surgery, Rose LaBreche was forced to retire from rugby in 2010 while at Queen’s. With her time as a student athlete over, women’s rugby head coach Beth Barz suggested that to stay...
