Dante Zanatta?s coaching career at UBC?s Okanagan campus could not have gotten off to a better start, Dante had led his Heat men?s soccer team to a road sweep grabbing six points over last weekend?s play.

After the solid first weekend for the Heat the men?s team found themselves ranked fifth in Canada, coach Zanatta does not by into them to much though commenting, ?It?s good for the players to be ranked but I have no real faith on rankings, the fact that we play two games and now you are ranked in the top ten in Canada? I always say: let?s be ranked at the top at the end of the year not the start of the year.?

The Heat will not have an easy task as the Wolfpack came away from the previous weekend with two ties and will be a tough team to beat in their home opener.

?There is always a bit of a rivalry between Kamloops [TRU] and UBC [Kelowna],? explains Zanatta, ?We have to be very prepared to go into their home and play in front of their home [fans on their home] opener. It?s going to be a tough game and if we work hard, do the little things and play to our potential then hopefully we can come home with a win.?

Coach Zanatta will be looking for more than just a win in Kamloops, he will be looking for ways to keep his feet warm. As part of the Right to Play movement and Sports Day in Canada the Heat?s coaching staff of Dante Zanatta and Tom Flanagan will be going shoeless along with their TRU counterparts, John Antulov and Sean Wallace.
