The Eyeopener 2023 - Sports Issue
Even when it may seem like the grass is greener elsewhere, it’s all about where you water it
Eye was invited to the KFCourt...
It was a dreary day in Toronto. Unrelenting, the stern rain rendered most sidewalks, parks and playgrounds empty of any people. However, it was underneath the Gardiner Expressway, of all places, where one small and durable park was thriving.
Music poured out from the shade of the overpass and the scent of “finger lickin’ good” fried chicken filled the air as attendees made their way toward the hubbub. The event, located at The Bentway on Fort York Boulevard, was hosted by KFC, an occasion to pr

TMU women’s basketball release call to action after lack of Black History Month initiatives
Deep inside the Mattamy Athletic Centre, on the wall of the Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) women’s basketball team’s locker room, read the words: At the same time you are moving forward, you are also returning.
These words symbolize contribution to the team and program during the time athletes are at the university—but they also mean leaving it in a better place than they found it. And despite their season ending on Feb. 25, the team is still making an impact off the court.

Bold push Varsity Blues to brink, lose Game 1 late
“Bend but don’t break” were the words that echoed out of the Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) Bold women’s hockey team dressing room following a 2-1 loss to the University of Toronto (U of T) Varsity Blues in Game 1 of their best of three playoff series.
TMU forward Olivia Giardetti scored just 2:48 into the game to give the Bold a one-goal lead. TMU held that lead until the third, when U of T scored two unanswered—with the latter coming with just 15 seconds to play.

The History Between Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira
As we currently sit just days away from UFC 276: Adesanya vs. Cannonier on July 2, 2022, in Las Vegas, Nevada, we also sit days away from an unprecedented trilogy. It is not often in MMA that a trilogy bout will be booked when one side has lost the first two encounters, but that is the case when it comes to Max Holloway vs. Alexander Volkanovski 3. However, another storyline entering this weekend’s pay-per-view is that we could be on the verge of another trilogy fight where one fighter is 0-2, a
Timeline of events leading to Rams' perfect season
The Rams women’s basketball team’s undefeated journey to the 2022 U Sports National Championship started long before the opening game of the regular season. Dating back to February 2020, weeks before COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic, the Rams saw title aspirations slip through their fingers when they lost the Ontario University Athletics (OUA) Critelli Cup final to the Brock Badgers 84-71.
At the time, nobody knew it would be the final OUA basketball game until November 2021. Nor did the

One journey ends, another begins for new-look Bold
The blue and gold bleachers usually inhabited by Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) students and fans are pushed into the wall. The four side baskets hang 10 feet above the court, far below their normal ceiling perches. And on the blue wall behind the basket, there’s empty space that will be filled by another U Sports national championship banner.
For the TMU women’s basketball team, the raising of the championship banner on Nov. 5 is not only a celebration of the incredible heights the team

The Crossroads of Tony Ferguson
MMA is a sport with the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, and not many fighters embody this saying better than Tony Ferguson. Though his career-high point somehow did not include fighting for or winning an undisputed title, Ferguson made up for it with an incredible 12 fight winning streak over six years in arguably the UFC’s best division. Now just days before his next fight, Ferguson faces circumstances few could have predicted for him just two years ago—a possible four-fight losing str
