next year. It’s not as all-encompassing
as the MJHL and it allows me to play
on the golf team and focus on school.”

and 10 assists in 35 games and then
led his team in playoff scoring with

Schade completed the season with an
impressive 74.0 scoring average.
“Devon has been a wonderful
addition to the Bison Golf Team,” said
Goodbrandson. “He had an excellent
rookie season and played a big role
our three tournament victories.”
“He’s gained some valuable
experience in the past year playing his
first fall season with the Bisons and
then in two National Championships
(2014 Canadian Amateur and the 2015
Canadian University Championship).
These competitive opportunities
prepared him for his success this
summer in winning the 2015 Nott
Autocorp Manitoba Amateur
Championship. His 11 under par 61
was simply an awesome round of golf
and a round that he will never forget.”
Now one of the top players in the
CIS. He had a big fall season and os
looking forward to the spring.
“Devon is well respected by his
teammates and is becoming a
great leader on the team,” Coach
Goodbrandson said. “He is an
extremely hard worker who does
a great job preparing for every
tournament. Devon has a very bright
future with the Bisons.”
And the Bisons have a very bright
future with Devon Schade. l
