Huskies Dogs' Breakfast turning 23, with Luke Willson in as guest speaker
@Source: thestarphoenix.com
Flory is the Huskies head coach these days, and the Dog’s Breakfast — which raises money for player scholarships — is entering its 23rd year. That idea of holding scholarship fundraisers was not a thing Flory contemplated during his own days on the team’s offensive line.
“The landscape was night and day,” he says. “There was a couple of little entrance bursaries back then, but it was nothing — it just didn’t exist. It wasn’t a thing. For us in this scholarship world, being able to help our student-athletes is huge.”
In a 2001 StarPhoenix story about the new breakfast, sportswriter Cory Wolfe noted: “Due to changes in CIAU scholarship rules, the Huskies’ challenge from a recruiting standpoint is: Eat the bills for top recruits, or be eaten on the field.”
The Huskies Football Foundation announced Wednesday that Luke Willson, an eight-year NFL player who won a Super Bowl and is currently TSN’s lead football analyst, will be their guest speaker.
The breakfast is May 1 at Prairieland Park, followed by the Huskies’ annual spring camp. The team went 5-3 last season, and advanced to the conference final before losing 19-14 to the Regina Rams.
