Hall of Fame
An early multi-sport star athletes, Sandy Drever (BPE '70) boasts an incredibly extensive athletics resume.
The Calgary native made a significant impact at her hometown university, competing in basketball, field hockey and volleyball, and was named the Dinos Female Athlete of the Year in 1969.
Drever joined the Dinos and called it a magical time at the university, saying sports were "everything I wanted to do all the time, every day."
After two years competing in field hockey and basketball, her friends convinced her to try out for volleyball. That proved to be an impactful moment for both the Drever and the Dinos, as she helped lead the team that season to the first national championship in school history in 1969. That same year, Drever represented Canada in volleyball at the 1970 World Student Games in Turin, Italy. At the national level, she also spent eight years (1971-79) with Canada's national field hockey program, serving as team captain for three seasons, and was immortalized on a Canadian postage stamp in 1979 following a world championship.
In 1971, Drever was named the recipient of the Margaret Southern Award for her contributions in women's athletics after forming an advisory council that met with fellow student-athletes from other schools in the conference - something well ahead of its time.
After graduating, Drever coached swimming at the University of Alberta for three seasons, winning a national title, before moving on to the University of Victoria, where she led the Vikes field hockey program to its first of many national championships in 1984.
