Re: Canada Canucks: "From Sea to Sea" (NCAA '14)
 New team in the race University of Canada, based out of Ottawa, to join FBS in 2016 A new team will be joining the Football Bowl Subdivision in 2016. The University of Canada Canucks, a public university based in the capital of Ottawa, will be fielding a team and joining the NCAA, rather than the Canadian counterpart CIS. The Canucks will be joining as an Independent but will be looking to move to a conference within the next two to three years. The University of Canada becomes the first team outside the United States to field a program in the NCAA Football division. The decision to join the NCAA was due to the lack of competition in the CIS as well as current expenses. The Canucks look forward to the test of competing among the many teams within the US for a shot at the National Championship. Canada has taken a unique approach to their schedule by scheduling at least one team from each of the 12 conferences. This includes a mix of ranked and unranked teams, as well as a pattern of home and away games. Canada is also subject to the "Hawai'i Exemption" of the NCAA which states that teams visiting Ottawa are allowed to schedule a 13th game, and the Canucks are allowed to schedule a 13th game as well. This is due to travel costs, and the extra game will bring in extra revenue to offset these. Unsurprisingly, most of the opponents on the Canucks' schedule are close in location to Canada such as Wisconsin, Washington, and Boston College. The Canada Canucks will play their home games at Shakesheave Field, a small dual-side 15,000 capacity stadium built on campus this year. The Canucks are led by Ray Tranter, the former CFL All-Star Tight End and former head coach of the Regina Rams. Tranter, an offensive guru, graduated from Carleton University with a bachelor's in Global and International Studies. Tranter played Tight End at Carleton State from 1988 to 1991, before going on to play 15 seasons in the Canadian Football League for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Ottawa Renegades, and Hamilton Tiger-Cats. He would then start his coaching career in 2007 when he joined the York Lions staff as the offensive line coach. After 4 abysmal years for the Lions, Ray was hired as the Head Coach for the Regina Rams. Although in the beginning he had a few successful seasons and even a Hardy Cup appearence, the Rams couldn't keep up with the rest of the CWUAA and Tranter was fired in 2015 after an 0-8 season. Almost a year later, Tranter interviewed and got the head coaching job at the University of Canada who was fielding a team that year. Tranter hopes to redefine his coaching career with a good showing at Canada in the coming years. The Canucks as a team are led by Quarterback Chandler Boivin, a 23-year-old graduate Senior from Kapuskasing, Ontario majoring in Psychology. Boivin was one of the Top 100 dual-threat Quarterbacks coming out of high school. He previously attended McMaster University where he played Quarterback for the Marauders and led them to a Vanier Cup appearance in 2014. He transferred to the University of Canada for graduate school and used his last year of eligibility to play for the newly formed team. Along with Canada, the University of The Bahamas, out of Nassau, also joined the FBS in 2016 as an Independent. Both teams have agreed to play a series with each other through 10 years, alternating home locations each year.

Re: Canada Canucks: "From Sea to Sea" (NCAA '14)
Tailspin Canada falls in to Wisconsin in historic first game
Chandler Boivin and the entire Canada offense struggled as the Canucks fell to Wisconsin in the first game of the season and program history. Despite this, they were able to take the Badgers into overtime. The Canucks got on the board quickly, with a 41-yard field goal by Kenneth Owens on their opening drive. Wisconsin would respond with a dominating opening drive on their own, but miscommunication on the offensive line led to a sack on quarterback Bart Houston on a 3rd & short, and they were forced to give the ball back. Canada again marched down the field through the power of the running game. Senior quarterback Chandler Boivin was having a tough time, already throwing six incomplete passes on seven attempts and for only a few yards. Thus, Offensive Coordinator Kevin Hobbs elected to keep the ball on the ground to avoid potential mistakes. Exactly three minutes after their first score, Junior running back Kenton Sherburne punched the ball in from the goal line to give the Canucks a 10-0 lead early in the first quarter. The Badgers were quick to answer with a touchdown drive of their own. This time without mistakes. Jazzy Peavy caught an 8-yard pass from Bart Houston in cutting the Canucks' lead to 3 at the end of the first quarter. As Canada began their next drive, OC Kevin Hobbs decided to go back to the passing game after giving Boivin some time to cool down. On the first pass attempt of the second quarter, Chandler Boivin was picked off by junior Badgers cornerback Sojourn Shelton II at midfield, who returned it all the way inside Canucks' territory to the 37-yard line. A few plays later, senior running back Corey Clement ran in from 5 yards out to give Wisconsin a 14-10 lead. "I loved the way we started out the game," said Coach Ray Tranter in a halftime interview. "Had we not lost momentum with the interception and stalled drives, the game would be entirely in our favor." The interception would prove to be a backbreaker for Canada, as they failed to find anything on offense the rest of the half. Boivin would continue to drop back and pass but would either overthrow his target or be forced to run. The offensive line broke down as well. Sherburne could not get more than a yard on a run, and Canada would not get a first down the rest of the quarter. Wisconsin, however, would score again with 30 seconds before halftime on another run by Corey Clement, this time 8 yards, to go up 21-10 at halftime. "I told our guys to settle down. Focus on what we're doing now rather than what we did before," Ray Tranter said in a post-game interview. Coach Tranter's words seemed to spark the Canucks, as they came out of the half fired up and ready to get back to work. This would also translate to the field, as the Canadian defense held the Badgers to back-to-back three-and-outs. Tranter also noticed that Chandler Boivin was beginning to tilt, making bad decisions and acting irrationally on the field. To combat this, Tranter had Boivin sit out most of the second half in favor of Dedrick Bennett, a sophomore quarterback from Sebringville, Ontario. After this change, the passing game started to open up. Bennett completed 5 of his first 6 passes and had threw for over 60 yards in his first drive out. Despite the newfound success, the Canucks would not score until late in the third quarter on a 28-yard field goal by Kenneth Owens. This was not what they were hoping for, as they were down by two possessions and needed a touchdown to fully get back in the game. But due to missed assignments by the offensive line and Dedrick Bennett's inability to maneuver around like his counterpart, this didn't happen. The Canada defense would still hold strong. Continuing to force the Badgers to punt and not allowing Bart Houston to throw downfield and burn the secondary as he had in the first half. The success would not translate to the offense, however. As Bennett and Sherburne began to struggle, as well as the offensive line. Tranter decided to pull Bennett and put Boivin back in, hoping he had calmed down enough to put together a good drive. This was true at first, as Boivin had been able to get the Canucks down inside the red zone with ease with his legs. Disastrously, with Canada down 8 and time ticking away, Boivin would throw an interception in the endzone. The Badgers would take over with 1:32 left in the game and seemingly icing the game. Coach Tranter would not let this happen. As he had saved all three of his timeouts for the half and was able to use them to keep Wisconsin from running the clock down. Canada's defense held strong and forced the Badgers to punt. The Canucks would take over at their own 43-yard line with 1:00 left to try and score and possibly tie the game. Because passing had been an issue all game long, OC Hobbs decided to keep the ball on the ground, and hope they could get out-of-bounds to stop the clock each play. This proved effective, as Boivin and Sherburne would get Canada down inside the Badgers' 25-yard line with 0:15 left in regulation. Boivin would finally get redemption as he completed a strike to junior wide receiver Elgin Leach for a 22-yard touchdown pass to pull within two. Boivin would run in on a read option to secure the two-point conversion, and the first game in Canucks' school history was heading to overtime. Canada would get the first possession of overtime. The drive seemed to be going pretty well, with Boivin completing a 13-yard pass to Clifton McCall to bring them near the 10-yard line. However, the Badger defense stepped up and forced a three-and-out, leading to a 29-yard field goal by Kenneth Owens. Wisconsin would get the ball next and would score on the second play of their possession: a 22-yard run by Corey Clement to seal the victory. "Despite the numerous setbacks we had I still think we played a great game," Coach Ray Tranter said after the game. "It's all about finding what works and what doesn't. It's a process and we are going to stick to it." Canada travels to Seattle next week to take on #19 Washington, who lost a close game to Boise State 38-35.
