LETHBRIDGE, AB – The University of Lethbridge has a new person in charge of its sports teams.

Langevin is currently the Head Coach of the Pronghorns women’s rugby program, a role that he will continue going forward, and has played major roles in developing and promoting rugby in Southern Alberta.

“Neil’s experience, enthusiasm, and dedication to sport will be a great asset to the University as he begins his new role,” says Nancy Walker, Vice-President of Finance & Administration. “As an alumnus and then co-founder and coach of the Pronghorns women’s rugby program, his association with Pronghorn Athletics is wide-ranging. His time as an educator and administrator also gives him great perspective on the student-athlete experience.”

He led the women’s team to six consecutive Canada West titles (2006-2011) and three consecutive CIS Championships (2007-2009).

In 2002, he received the Canada West Coach of the Year award, and in 20016, he coached the National Senior Women’s team to a fourth-place finish at the Rugby World Cup.

He was an assistant coach for the Canadian men’s rugby sevens FISU Summer Universiade team in 2019.

Prior to joining the university, Langevin taught at the Lethbridge School Division for 27 years, the last five as an administrator and vice-principal at Winston Churchill High School.

The University recently reorganized Sport and Recreation Services and eliminated the Executive Director position. Bill Halma will now head Horns Recreation Services, with Langevin taking the lead for Pronghorn Athletics.
