MONTREAL - David Côté, head coach of Ã山ǿ¼é alpine ski team, has been named to the coaching staff for the CIS team that will represent Canada in alpine skiing at the 2011 Winter Universiade, also known as the World University Winter Games, in Erzurum, Turkey, Jan. 27 to Feb. 6.
Ìý
Côté, a 25-year-old native of Boucherville, Que., is in his fourth season as head coach at Ã山ǿ¼é, after two years coaching with the Bromont ski club. At the Games, he will work under head coach and team leader Vincent Lavoie of Université Laval.
Ìý
The six-member women's squad is comprised of College François-Xavier-Garneau teammates Maëlle Bergeron and Catherine Morel, Westminster College's Kendall Brown, Harvard's Rebecca Nadler, Nevada Reno's Nicole Poleschuk, as well as Marie-France Tessier of the Montreal Carabins.

Laval teammates Philippe Crête-Belzile and Simon Mannella, Montana State's Christopher Barber, Montreal's Olivier Lacaille and Dartmouth College's Braden Long make up the men's team.

Lacaille is the only skier with previous Universiade experience. The Montreal native took part in three events in 2007 in Turin, Italy, when he was studying at the University of New Mexico, finishing 44th in the slalom, 48th in the Super-G and 53rd in the giant slalom.

Canada, which did not participate in this sport at the 2009 Games in China, has won two Universiade medals in alpine skiing over the years - both gold - including Josée Lacasse in the slalom in Sapporo, Japan, in 1991 and Lisa Richardson in the downhill in Lake Placid, NY, in 1972.
