Zivic, whose influence on the sport of gymnastics spans decades, was a cornerstone of 快播视频 Athletics & Recreation, etching an indelible mark on the institution and Canadian sports.

Born on Sept. 12, 1937, in Ni拧, Serbia, Zivic came to Toronto in 1968 with his wife, Nada, and soon after began his career at York. He served as the head coach of the men's gymnastics program from 1968-93, during which time he led the team to extraordinary success.

Under Zivic's leadership and that of his longtime assistant, the late  York gymnasts captured 21 Ontario University Athletics championships and 18 national U SPORTS titles, solidifying York's reputation as a preeminent gymnastics program in Canada. The legacy of his coaching includes the development of more than 15 individual national champions and numerous provincial titleholders 鈥� making York鈥檚 program the best in the nation during his tenure.

Zivic was also a devoted educator in the School of Kinesiology & Health Science, Faculty of Health, teaching courses in gymnastics, strength and conditioning, soccer and European handball. His roles at the University culminated in his retirement in 2003, but his commitment to gymnastics extended far beyond York.

In the community, he held leadership positions, including chairing both the Ontario and Canadian Gymnastics Federations, and was honoured with a Life Membership Award from the Ontario Gymnastics Federation in 1998.

His impressive coaching credentials included coaching Canadian Olympians from 1976-84 and serving as head coach of the Canadian national gymnastics team at the World Championships in 1979, 1981, 1983 and 1985, as well as leading the team at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. Zivic鈥檚 talent for coaching was also evident at the grassroots level, where he founded the gymnastics program at the Canadian Adventure Camp in Temagami, Ont., providing countless opportunities for young gymnasts to grow in a unique and supportive environment.

An alum of the University of Belgrade and the State University of New York, Zivic combined his athletic prowess and teaching acumen throughout a career that shaped many lives. His coaching approach prioritized positive reinforcement and hard work, establishing a culture of encouragement that resonated with students and athletes alike.

Beyond gymnastics, Zivic's passions included spending time with family, especially as a beloved grandfather "Deka" to his three grandchildren: Hudson, Bennett and Scarlett. His shared experiences at the family cottage in Temagami were filled with laughter, summer sports and cherished family moments.

Zivic leaves a legacy of excellence, a testament to the lives he touched through his coaching and teaching. His final resting place will honor his love for the natural beauty of Temagami, a setting that brought him joy throughout his life.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the at 快播视频 to support the next generation of athletes who embody the spirit and resilience Zivic championed.

Zivic is survived by his wife, Nada 鈥� to whom he was married for 60 years 鈥� their two sons, Sasha and George, three grandchildren and a large community of friends and family. Visit the for more on his life and legacy.

Throughout the month, YFile will present a series of articles that highlight contributions from 快播视频 and its efforts to advance the SDGs. These stories reflect the people, research and initiatives that make the University an international leader in sustainability.

isn鈥檛 just about sports 鈥� it鈥檚 driving key University priorities, from sustainability to equity, with bold initiatives including a leadership conference on the future of women鈥檚 professional sports.

For Mandy McCurdy, manager of varsity athletics, it has always been important that York Athletics contribute to a healthy post-secondary ecosystem by aligning with the University鈥檚 broader strategic priorities.

鈥淲e want to connect with University-wide goals so people can see the value of a thriving, well-rounded athletics department,鈥� she says. 鈥淚t鈥檚 important to be able to say, 鈥榊es, we're doing this in varsity, and it鈥檚 making a difference across campus.鈥欌��

Among several initiatives, Athletics & Recreation has implemented its strategic priorities, ensuring its programs support student success, community engagement and inclusivity. The department has also mandated equity, diversity and inclusion training for all student-athletes, coaches and staff, reinforcing its commitment to fostering an inclusive sports culture.

In sustainability efforts, the Tait McKenzie Centre has introduced eco-friendly fitness equipment and implemented waste reduction programs during athletic events. Additionally, York Athletics has partnered with local organizations to expand accessibility in sports, particularly for underrepresented youth in the community.

University priorities were also at the forefront for McCurdy and the department while planning the latest . Established to empower and advance women in sports through critical conversations and leadership development, previous iterations of the annual event have tackled gender equity, safe sport policies and industry barriers.

This year鈥檚 conference, titled 鈥淧rofessionalization of Women鈥檚 Sports: It鈥檚 About Time,鈥� arrives at a pivotal moment. With women鈥檚 sports leagues securing historic media rights deals and sponsorships, the conference will explore how this shift is creating real career opportunities 鈥� not only for players but for executives, coaches and managers.

As the only conference in Canada that brings together academic perspectives and mainstream sports leaders, the event will examine key questions: Why has it taken so long? What barriers remain? And how can lasting progress be ensured? Sessions will cover the history of women in professional sports, the challenges that have hindered growth and the market forces that are now making women鈥檚 leagues more viable and profitable.

The agenda also aims to empower participants to take an active role in shaping the future of women鈥檚 sports, rather than just observing its evolution. For example, discussions will explore what a sustainable salary model looks like for female athletes in leagues still in their foundational stages. In that way, York Athletics wants to advance the University's efforts in not just being part of critical conversations, but leading them.

鈥淎t York, we believe that athletics is a powerful platform for driving change,鈥� says McCurdy. 鈥淭hrough initiatives like this conference, we鈥檙e elevating voices of all athletes and shaping a new narrative that reflects the diversity of 快播视频. And in doing so, we鈥檙e reinforcing York鈥檚 leadership in equity, sustainability and innovation beyond the playing field.鈥�

York鈥檚 historic Alumni Field hosted the first-ever Field Hockey Canada U SPORTS Invitational Championship from Oct. 30 to Nov. 3. This reimagined event under the U SPORTS banner was facilitated through 快播视频 Athletics & Recreation with the assistance of Field Hockey Canada, the national governing body for field hockey in Canada. The four-day event saw teams from across the country 鈥� the Canada West champions, the University of Victoria Vikes; the Atlantic University champions, the University of Prince Edward Island Panthers; the Ontario University Athletics (OUA) champions, the University of Waterloo Warriors; and the hosts, the York Lions 鈥� compete for a national title. The Lions battled the Vikes in the gold medal game, but came up just short of the national title, earning a well-deserved silver medal.

The following weekend, the Lions men鈥檚 soccer team battled for another national title in Oshawa, Ont., at the 2024 Bruce Power U SPORTS Men鈥檚 Soccer Championships hosted by Ontario Tech University. 快播视频, the OUA silver medalists, beat Atlantic University Sport runner-up, St. Francis Xavier University, in the quarter-final, winning their first opening round game since 2015. That meant a date with the RSEQ (Quebec) conference champions, the Universit茅 de Montr茅al Carabins, in the semi-final and guaranteed York a chance to play for a medal. Despite a heartbreaking 2-1 loss in the semi-final, the Lions earned a dominant 3-1 win over RSEQ finalists McGill University to bring home a bronze medal, the Lions' first U SPORTS men鈥檚 soccer medal since 2015.

Meanwhile, 2024 was the beginning of a renaissance for the Lions football program under first-year head coach Dexter Janke. The Lions won their first game since 2019 in the annual Red & Blue Bowl against their in-city rivals, the University of Toronto Varsity Blues, on Sept. 21 by a score of 19-17. York then won their second game on Oct. 5, 39-24, over the Waterloo Warriors for their first-ever win at York Lions Stadium. The Lions were in position to make their first post-season appearance in two decades with a win over the McMaster University Marauders on the season鈥檚 final day, but came up just short in a hard-fought 24-21 loss. However, despite the heartbreak of missing the playoffs, the Lions have put the pieces in place to put the program back on the OUA football map.

As for the two-term sports, the Lions men鈥檚 volleyball team is turning heads early in the OUA season. After winning just six matches last season, they have surpassed that total through the first month of play. York started 7-0, their best start since their OUA championship-winning season in 2004-05. Thanks to their 7-0 start, the Lions earned their first U SPORTS Top 10 ranking since the week of Feb. 27 to Mar. 5, 2023, after a quarter-final playoff win over Queen鈥檚 University. It was also York鈥檚 first time in the national rankings during regular season competition since Oct. 26 to Nov. 1, 2015, the opening week of the 2015-16 season. They finished the first half 8-2, highlighted by a four-set win over the No. 4-ranked Queen鈥檚 Gaels in their final match of the 2024 calendar year.

Several Lions raked in major conference and national awards during the fall semester. Men鈥檚 soccer player Christian Zeppieri won both the OUA West Most Valuable Player (MVP) and U SPORTS Player of the Year, while rookie teammate Luca Accettola was named the OUA West and U SPORTS Rookie of the Year. Meanwhile, women鈥檚 soccer player Nia Fleming-Thompson was acclaimed OUA West MVP and a U SPORTS first-team all-Canadian. York women鈥檚 rugby head coach Spencer Robinson garnered OUA Coach of the Year honours after leading his team to a 2-4 record in his first season at the helm, bringing the program its first two victories since 2022 and to within a game of its first OUA playoff appearance since 2019.

After a successful fall semester, the Lions appear poised to make several playoff pushes in the winter term.
