At a recent exclusive to the UWNN press conference, coach Colin Rhodes announced the reinstatement of University of Waterloo Cup. The UW Cup is awarded to the most successful male and female skiers on the UW ski team each year, based on consistency, speed, and “square feet of pure awesomeness” to quote some random TV commercial. Rhodes outlined the 18 races counting towards the overall, and the points are organised in the same fashion as that of the World Cup. As with the World Cup, whomever amasses the most points over the course of the season is declared the winner, and receives a truckload of bragging rights.* Notable races on the schedule include Eastern Canadians (held at Nakkertok in Ottawa) as well as the OUA Championships, and the Olympics. Television coverage will be limited, as will live results, and the best way to follow your favourites is right here on the UWNN sidebar.
The UW Cup is the premiere title to win as a member of the UW Nordic Ski team, and has seen past winners such as Justin Faulkner, Andrea Dupont, Ian Murray among many other prominent figures.
It’s the New Year, and with 2010 comes a new age in UWNN reporting – there will be a minimum of two content updates a week for the entire ski season – stay tuned!
Sincerely,
The UWNN Staff

Hahaha I would like to point out that the UWNN Staff's writing style has had a marked improvement over the past couple years...
