KAMLOOPS — What we’ve known as Canadian Interuniversity Sport, or CIS, for the last 16 years, is no more.

It has a new name.

Effective today CIS is gone, and moving forward will be known as U Sports.

It’s the third time in the 110 year history of university sports in Canada that it’s had a name change.

What began as CIAU Central in 1906 became just CIAU in 1961.

That lasted 40 years until 2001 when it became CIS.

Now today changed to U Sports.
