The Dr. Lou Goodwin Award honours the male who has provided the most outstanding service and support to the Athletic Department. Dr. Lou, as he was affectionately known, was the first Dean of the Faculty of Physical Education, the forerunner of the Faculty of Kinesiology. He served the city, school system, and university for more than 45 years. A founding member of the Faculty, he served as Professor, Department Head, and Dean from 1961 until 1978. In the early 1960s, he also coached the Dinos hockey team when the school was still the University of Alberta, Calgary. He was Calgary Sportsman of the Year in 1977, was inducted into the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame in 1980, and is a member of the Dinos Hall of Fame.
AWARD WINNERS - 57th ANNUAL NIGHT OF THE DINO:
A man who regularly shuns the spotlight, Dave Lee, has been vital to the Dinos women's rugby program since he came to the UCalgary campus. Lee has been an assistant with head coach Simon Chi for 15 years and has seen the Dinos program grow from its infancy all the way to claiming four conference banners from 2016-2019. A humble leader who always does whatever needs to be done and puts the student-athletes first.
