Talk:Regina Rams

Edit request from Cmm3, 23 August 2010
Hello Admin,

I would like to create an article for Regina Rams because all it does is loop back to University of Regina, which is quite useless. I would like it to no longer be protected so that I can add information regarding the football program along the same lines as Simon Fraser Clan, Alberta Golden Bears and UBC Thunderbirds. Thanks for your time.

Regards, Cameron

 * Disabling until Guy has a look. For what it's worth, there's nothing in the OTRS request which suggests that this needs to be protected at this time. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward: not at work) - talk 10:07, 23 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Let's see a draft and ensure that it is rigorously sourced (and passes WP:N of course). Guy (Help!) 16:28, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

The Regina Rams are the CIS football team that represents the University of Regina in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. The Rams nickname is used by the university's football team only; all other teams at the school are named Regina Cougars. The Rams joined the CIS in 1999 and have competed in the Canada West Conference since then.

Club history
The Regina Rams were formed in 1954 when two junior football teams, the Bombers and the Dales, merged into one football club. The Rams participated in the Man-Sask Junior Football League until 1976, when they joined with junior teams from Alberta to form the Prairie Football Conference. The club would participate in the CJFL until 1998, winning ten Canadian Junior Football Championships along the way.

In 1999, after competing for 45 years in junior football (Canadian Junior Football League), the Regina Rams became a member of the Canada West Conference of the Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Union (CIAU), now Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS). The University of Regina came to community partnership agreement with the CJFL team that made the transfer possible. Rather than change their name to Regina Cougars, the football team continued to use the moniker "Rams." In only their second year of playing in the CIAU, the Rams won the Canada West Conference championship and then the Atlantic Bowl. They then went on their way to the Vanier Cup where they lost 42-39 to Marcel Bellefeuille's Ottawa Gee-Gees. Since then the Rams have played in the Canada West Championship game three times. During their entire tenure in the CIS, Frank McCrystal has been the Regina Ram's head coach. He first took the reins of the team in 1984, making 2010 his 27th season as head coach of the Rams and his 12th in the CIS. In 2007, after leading his team to a 6-2 regular season record and an appearance in the Hardy Cup game, McCrystal was named the 2007 Canada West and CIS coach of the year. Building on the Rams' tradition and with an eye to the future, Coach McCrystal has been instrumental in implementing many program enhancements during his tenure.
