First thing Saturday is the Athletic Director’s reception, which begins at 11:00 amin the Hangar. During this ceremony honored guests address the crowd, including LU president Dr. Brian Stevenson, with an annual presentation of the John Zanatta Awards to one male and one female basketball player. We also present our Academic All-Canadians, who Thunderwolves achieving an average of 80%.
