Capilano University Blues Athletics has a long and rich history of success. Since 1973, Capilano has taken home many provincial and national titles, Coach of the Year and Athlete of the Year awards, CCAA All-Canadian distinctions, and Aggregate championships. In 1999, we were honoured to be awarded the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Soccer Supremacy Award, which was presented to the CCAA's most successful men's and women's soccer program between 1974-1999.
Many fine student-athletes have graced the athletic halls of Capilano University and have gone on to great heights in their athletic, professional, and social endeavours. It is with great pride that we display our championship achievements and the coaches who have guided the teams to numerous winning seasons.
