Bison Sports also recently announced the commitment of three recruits for the 2010-11 season. The men’s hockey team has added forward Del Cowan and goaltender Joe Caligiuri to this year’s roster. Both Cowan and Caligiuri are bringing three years of Western Hockey League experience to the Bisons, both players having spent significant time with the Brandon Wheat Kings. The men’s volleyball team has recruited local Zach Duncan to the program for the 2010-11 season.
