EDMONTON – Four years was all University of Calgary student-athlete Richard Bohne needed to become the greatest scorer in Canada West men's basketball history.

A member of the Dinos from 1992-1996, Bohne tallied 2,171 career points, setting a record that stood for a dozen years. He was announced Monday as the latest inductee in the Canada West Hall of Fame, becoming the 85th member of the Hall's inaugural class.

The Raymond, Alta., native averaged an incredible 27.5 points in 79 Canada West regular season contests. In a span of mere weeks during the 1994-95 season, he had the two highest-scoring games in conference history: 64 points at UBC on Jan. 28, 1995, and 54 points at home against Saskatchewan.

In his first season, 1992-93, he helped the Dinos win the Canada West title for the second time in program history, and advance to the CIAU championship in Halifax, where he was named a tournament all-star. In 1996, he finished his career by being named the CIAU Player of the Year.

Four years was all University of Calgary student-athlete Richard Bohne needed to become the greatest scorer in Canada West men's basketball history.

A member of the Dinos from 1992-1996, Bohne tallied 2,171 career points, setting a record that stood for a dozen years and has since been surpassed just once by Saskatchewan's Andrew Spagurd, who scored 2,182 points over five years.

A native of Raymond, Alta., Bohne averaged an incredible 27.5 points in 79 Canada West regular season contests. In a span of mere weeks during the 1994-95 season, he had the two highest-scoring games in conference history: 64 points at UBC on Jan. 28, 1995; and 54 points at home against Saskatchewan. A quarter-century later, those remain the all-time top two Canada West performances.

Bohne won the Mike Moser Memorial Trophy in 1996 as the top player in CIAU men's basketball. He was a two-time Canada West Player of the Year (1995 and 1996), four-time Canada West All-Star (First Team 1994-1996, Second Team in 1993), three-time All-Canadian (First team in 1995 and 1996, Second Team in 1994). In his first season, 1992-93, he helped the Dinos win the Canada West title for the second time in program history, and advance to the CIAU championship in Halifax, where he was named a tournament all-star.

In 1995, Bohne was a member of Canada's bronze-medal winning team at the FISU Games. Following his time with the Dinos, he played professionally in France.

Bohne was inducted into the U of C's Hall of Fame in 2015. He presently serves as director of community services for the Town of Raymond.
