Over the next few months, we’re catching up with some of the Huskies key players as they reflect on last season and prepare for the next one. First up is running back Josh Ewanchyna.
Huskie Football Alumni: Given some time to reflect, how do you feel about what the team accomplished last year?
Josh Ewanchyna: It was truly something special and it was a run I’ll never forget. That being said, I think the boys really got to see our true potential as and it gave us a good spark going into this offseason.
What is your biggest takeaway from the 2021 season?
My biggest takeaway was the resilience we had through some tough games throughout the season. Especially starting our season off with a loss, we never skipped a beat after that.
How do the 2021 Uteck Bowl and Vanier Cup results impact your preparation for 2022?
Being able to play in those big games is a great experience for our guys which will help us grow on the field for our upcoming season. It shows all of our young guys that we have the potential in the locker room; we just having to be willing to do the work.
In which area(s) do you think you've improved the most as a player since joining the Huskies?
My football IQ has grown immensely. The amount of time spent in the film room and breaking down defences has really taken my game to the next level.
Which elements of your game are you most focused on improving during this off-season?
I’m most focused on working on my speed and knowledge of the game. Speed kills in football and I really think it would help me be the best running back that I can be. And my knowledge of the game can always grow and become more detailed.
What are your goals, both individually and collectively, for 2022?
Personally, I want to be an All-Canadian but nothing would mean more than winning a Vanier Cup with my brothers.
