Greg Fieger
Before there was Bo Jackson or Deion Sanders there was one of
Regina’s two sport athletes in Greg Fieger.
Originally from Beechy Saskatchewan Greg played two seasons with the
Regina Pats before starng on his junior career with the Regina Rams.
Fiegs played on two Ram Naonal Champion teams in 1975 and 76.
During his me he also played with the U of R Hockey team and was a
member of one of the original teams that went to the Naonal
championships. I am sure if they had won there would not be many
others with a Naonal Junior Football Championship as well as CIAU
hockey tle, oh what might have been!
When Greg finished at the U of R the football opportunies connued
as he was invited to try out for the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Greg
spent four seasons with the Riders before he was involved in a
blockbuster deal! Traded by SSK to CGY in May 1985 with Bob Poley and
Gerry Horne for Willie Thomas, Kevin Molle and Ken Moore. Fiegs
spent two more years with the Stamps before calling it a football career
and starng the rest of his life.
University of Regina Archives
and Special Collections, 86-16
Greg connued his educaon adding to the Arts degree he achieved in ’78 a BSW in ’81 and a MA in
‘91and all of these degrees were achieved at the U of R.
Greg ventured into the consulng business as the President of the Strategic Future Group, he was also
the leader of Ernst & Young Canada’s People and Organizaon Soluons team within the Strategy &
Transformaon Service line. He now is a partner with Conroy Ross and the lead in the Regina Operaon.
He has previously served as the President of the Instute of Cerfied Management Consultants of
Saskatchewan and Chair of the Canadian Associaon of Management Consultants Board.
Fiegs has been the chair of the U of R fundraising dinner and remains acve on the commiee, and in
2007 received a Crowning Achievement Award from the U of R for his volunteer efforts, the Dr. Robert
and Norma Ferguson Award for Outstanding Service to the U of R.
Greg remains acve with the Alumni of the university annually parcipang in the acvies of the

2012-13 CANADA WEST HOCKEY TEAM RESULTS
(As of October 26, 2012)
With the move to the Co-operators Centre the hockey team is able to take steps to have
on display a permanent record of its achievements and history.
The dressing room and facilities we are now in are second to none and we want to
establish stronger ties between our present players, staff and those who have come
before.
To keep the link between the past and the present we have created a wall of honor for
alumni to leave there mark on the new dressing room. This initiative will create a sign
immediately inside the dressing room door with a name bar of those who have been a part
of the team before.
This initiative will do two things:
1. Create a permanent location for the names of players who have come before.
Instilling a history of the team and record of the individuals who have worn the
numbers before
2. Create for you a tax receipt for $150.00 as the money is used for the scholarships
of the hockey team.
If you wish to have your name and number recognized in this permanent way contact Jill
Fulton @ 585-4018 or Todd Johnson @585-5010, at the University to get your name and
number added to the wall.
