The [[Calgary Dinos]] are the athletic teams that represent the University of Calgary in the [[Canada West Universities Athletic Association|Canada West]], a division of [[U Sports]], and in the [[Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference]]. They were known as the "Dinosaurs" but usually referred to as the "Dinos" until 1999, when the name was officially shortened. Some of its venues are the [[Jack Simpson Gymnasium]] (basketball, volleyball), [[McMahon Stadium]] (football, soccer), [[Olympic Oval]] (speed skating), [[Hawkings Field]] (field hockey), University of Calgary Aquatic Centre (swimming, often shortened to Aquatic Centre) and a 200 m Running Track (cross-country and track & field practice).

The men's hockey team plays at [[Father David Bauer Olympic Arena]], while the women's hockey team's schedule is split between Bauer Arena and [[Olympic Oval]]. In rare cases of scheduling conflicts, both teams have used the [[Max Bell Centre (Calgary)|Max Bell Centre]] for games.

The University of Calgary has been associated with the [[Olympics]] since 1972 when enrolled student and swimming team coach Ralph Hutton competed in Munich. Four years later, in 1976, the 10-year-old athletic department sent three athletes to Montreal. Since then, 42 Dinos athletes have competed at both the summer and winter Games, bringing home 11 medals, and UC hosted the athletes' village and speed skating events at the [[XV Olympic Winter Games]] in 1988.{{Citation needed|date=October 2010}}
