The UFV Cascades are the athletic teams that represent the University of the Fraser Valley in Abbotsford, British Columbia and currently compete in the Canada West conference of U Sports.[2] The Cascades varsity teams include basketball, golf, soccer, and volleyball; and clubs for baseball, rowing, and rugby sevens.

History

The Cascades had exclusively been a member of the PacWest conference of the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association until 2006 when they were granted probationary membership into the Canada West conference of the then-named Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS).[3][4] Basketball and soccer began competing in Canada West in the 2006-07 season. The Cascades became full members of Canada West in 2010.[3] The varsity wrestling program was formed in 2013 and began competing in 2014.[5][6] Despite its success, the wrestling program was suspended in 2019 when it was reported UFV did not fund the team and coaches.[7][8] More of the school's varsity programs moved from the PacWest of the CCAA to Canada West of U Sports until both volleyball teams' move for the 2020-21 season meant that all varsity teams were competing in U Sports.[4]

Wrestling

The Cascades varsity men's and women's wrestling teams were formed in 2013 and began competing in 2014, becoming the first B.C. school with a Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) wrestling program since Simon Fraser University (SFU) transferred to the NCAA after 2010. It was coached by volunteers Arjan Bhullar and Raj Virdi, both former CIS national champions from SFU. The varsity program was funded by community support and fundraising instead of money for existing teams. UFV previously had a non-varsity wrestling club on campus with around 20 athletes.[5][6]

In January 2015, the Cascades men's team won their first tournament championship at the Golden Bear Open and was first in the CIS rankings.[24][25] At the 2015 CIS Championships, Manheet Kalhon (120 kg) took silver.[26] At the 2017 Canada West (CW) Championships, Brad Hildenbrandt (120 kg) won gold and Amtoj Dhaliwal (82 kg) took bronze for the men's team. For the women's team, Ashley Coupal (48 kg) and Karla Godinez (51 kg) took bronze, and Godinez was named female "rookie of the year."[27] At the 2017 U SPORTS Championships, Hildenbrandt won UFV's first gold medal for wrestling.[28] In 2018, the program was UFV's only nationally-ranked team.[6] At the CW Championships, Hildenbrandt, Ana Godinez (63 kg), and Karla Godinez (55 kg) won gold. Karla was named the female "most outstanding wrestler" and Ana was named female "rookie of the year."[29][30] At the U SPORTS Championships, the men's team came fifth and the women's team came ninth. For the men, Hildenbrandt (120 kg) and Parker McBride (54 kg) won gold, with Parker also being named male "rookie of the year." For the women, Ana Godinez (63 kg) and Karla Godinez (55 kg) both took silver.[31] At the 2019 CW Championships, Hildenbrandt won gold at 120 kg for the third time in a row and was named the conference's male "wrestler of the year."[32] At the 2019 U SPORTS Championships, the Cascades won five medals—Hildenbrandt won his third consecutive national championship, Ana Godinez won gold and was named the female "wrestler of the year", De'Andre Williams took silver, and Parker McBride and Amber Wiebe took bronze.[33][34][35]

In April 2019, UFV suspended its wrestling program. It was reported that UFV was not funding the team and coaches. Originally established through community support and fundraising, the program was intended to be reviewed by UFV after three years for the potential of funding by the university. The review did not happen and the team continued to rely on fundraising, with the coaches working as volunteers. Virdi was fired in November 2018 followed by assistant coach Gurjot Kooner in December. Former national champion and world silver medalist Stacie Anaka then became the interim coach before resigning in March. Although UFV stated it would continue to support wrestlers individually, the suspension included "removal of athletic therapy, strength and conditioning services, athletic scholarship or tuition waivers, complimentary fitness centre access, early class registration and discounted parking at the school" as well as coaching and travel arrangements.[7][8][36] Despite the suspension, UFV wrestlers competed successfully in the following season. At the 2020 CW Championships, Amarvir Atwal (76 kg) and Jason Bains (100 kg) won gold and Atwal was named the conference's male outstanding wrestler. Karan Dhillon (90 kg), Ali Rahguzar (68 kg), and Calista Espinosa (48 kg) took silvers.[37] At the 2020 U SPORTS Championships, Bains and Dhillon took silver, Espinosa and Rahguzar took bronze, and Atwal placed fifth.[38][39] However, Bains forfeited his silver medal after a doping infraction.[40]
