When Lancer fans enter the St. Denis fieldhouse Friday for the opening of basketball season, they’ll find a welcome upgrade: all-new seating.

The old wooden bleachers were in dire need of an upgrade, according to Mike Havey, the university’ associate athletic director.

“It was time,” he says. “The bleachers have been there since the building opened in 1981 and they do not meet the standard of today.”

The Lancer men’s hockey team has earned top 10 ranking in Canadian Interuniversity Sport for the first time in 13 years.

The squad swept a two-game series against Toronto—ranked ninth last week—over the weekend to go 6-2-0 on the season. Windsor is now ranked 10th in the national media poll, its first appearance on the list since March 1999.

The team’s next home action comes Friday and Saturday, with back-to-back games against the Royal Military College. Both games are at Windsor Arena with the opening face-off at 7:30 p.m.

You don’t need an excuse to be nice, but you’ll have one anyway this Friday, November 9: the WindsorEssex Community Foundation has designated it Random Act of Kindness Day.

Individuals and groups are encouraged to perform one simple act of kindness for someone else—neighbours, friends, co-workers, or someone they don’t even know—and hand them a card, inspiring them to do the same.
