Six Rams Named to Canada West All-Star Team

EDMONTON, Alta. - Canada West announced Friday that six members of the University of Regina Rams have been named conference all-stars as the postseason accolades continue to roll in for the team after their school-record six-win regular season.

Quarterback Teale Orban, who led the CIS with 22 touchdown passes during the regular season, earned his second consecutive nod as a conference all-star. Earning their first Canada West all-star awards were fourth-year slotback Chad Goldie and third-year offensive guard Brendon LaBatte.

Three Rams also earned all-star berths on the defensive side of the ball, including linebackers Steve Wilson and Mat Nesbitt and defensive tackle Paul McDill. It's the first time that Nesbitt and McDill have been named a Canada West all-star, while Wilson joins Jason Clermont, Todd Krenbrink, and Jeff Zimmer as the only Rams to earn conference all-star status in three consecutive seasons.

2003 was the only other year that the Rams have had six Canada West all-stars in a single season.
