PART OF THE COMMUNITY

The Bison Football Team has been part of the school and community for more than 20 years. We are proud to represent the Ardrossan Jr/Sr High School, Community of Ardrossan and Strathcona County both on and off the field.
Bison football extends beyond the September to November playing season and is an ongoing process of individual and team improvement. All players dedicate themselves in the off-season to participattion in other sports and fitness activities in order to stay prepared for the upcoming exhibition, tournament, regular season and playoff games. Team members also give their time generously towards various fundraising projects throughout the year.
Our current 2004 roster carries 40 team members and consists of students who live in the Ardrossan area, the town of Ardrossan, Sherwood Park and Fort Saskatchewan.

BISON PRIDE

Our goal is to build a team, a football program, an outdoor facility and a sense of pride and community to rival all others.

OUR FOOTBALL FACILITY

"Build it and they shall come!"

By far the largest undertaking of our parent volunteers to date, has been the
installation of our scoreboard and field lights. Thanks to Mrs. Tracy Ingram for
her part in securing the U of A scoreboard!

Much credit goes to Mr. Scott Hutton for his shrewd bargain hunting expeditions, donation of materials and huge input of time for the labour intensive erection of the light standards, horizontal drilling under the field and installation of the power shed. Mr. Huttun convinced several subcontractors to help with the above.

A big thank you also goes to Mr. James Chick for his electrical expertise, re-building of the generator and supplying the power to run the lights and scoreboard.

AHS is one of only three football fields in the entire County to boast night lights
and what a difference it has made!

The parents association were also responsible for the procurement of a new locker room facility. Parents, players and the cheer team works tirelessly to rennovate and improve the locker room and trainer area into a functional and modern facility.

Another parent , Del Hankinson, built and installed a complete set of permanent bleachers at the 50 yard line. Behind the bleachers is a press box and viewing tower. For tournaments and special events, Del provides mobile bleacher units to seat spectators.

A concession facility is planned for the near future.

Parents lending their resources and expertise makes the Bisons, the strong family community that it is.

FOOTBALL FACILITY RENAMED VIC CHEMYLK ATHLETIC PARK

To celebrate 20 years of Bison Football, our field facilities have been renamed in honor of founding faculty member, Mr. Vic Chemylk. The Ardrossan Bisons staff, players and parents wish to pay tribute to our former principal for his steadfast dedication to this team and the sport of football.
