The University of Saskatchewan Huskies football team heads to Calgary for Saturday’s Hardy Cup final after winning five of the seven major awards in the Canada West conference announced Thursday.
Huskies head coach Scott Flory was named coach of the year, while league rushing leader Adam Machart was selected as player of the year and is now a finalist for the Hec Crighton Trophy as the most outstanding player in Canadian university football.
Three other Huskies also captured conference honours, including Edmonton Eskimos draft pick Evan Machibroda (most outstanding lineman), linebacker Ramsey Derbas (rookie of the year) and defensive back Nelson Lokombo (outstanding defensive player).
