Off the mat, Bod-oy spent his time working with children in after school, summer and teen prevention programs. He also volunteered with the British Columbia Wrestling Association where he assisted with age group developmental programs.
“Cean is an exceptionally gifted athlete with amazing athleticism who is only just beginning to find himself in the sport. In Cean we have found an athlete with an unparalleled passion for the sport, his ability to contribute in a team environment and motivate those around him through his efforts is contagious. Coming to our program at the right time, Cean has the opportunity and potential to achieve great success at the CIS level. His goal is to help bring a championship to the University in his time here. Another great addition to our men's program, we feel very privileged to have him”, said Head coach Adrian Bruce.
Alec Delcourt joins the University of Winnipeg after recently graduating from Georges P. Vanier High School in Comox, British Columbia.

Delcourt capped off an impressive 2010 with a bronze medal finish at the Western Canadian Wrestling Championships and just recently won a silver medal at the 2012 event."Another exciting addition to our Men's program, Alec is a young man with a tremendous amount of potential. I have found in Alec a great desire to learn and to be successful in every aspect of his life which I feel will really create a lot of opportunities for him within our program. Recognizing the value & importance of contributing in a "Team" environment, Alec fits perfectly in sync with the vision of our program we are very pleased to welcome him to the Wesmen family ”, added Bruce.
