C-Block, established in 2000, is the student section at all Canisius College athletic events. Raucous, rowdy, and decked out in Canisius Blue and Gold, C-Block is the voice and spirit behind every team, creating an intimidating atmosphere for those who dare enter the Koessler Athletic Center, HARBORCENTER or the Demske Sports Complex with thoughts of going home victorious.

Each year, C-Block grows larger and stronger, bringing more students to athletic events with the intention of motivating our student-athletes with as much noise as possible. Currently, one of the largest clubs on campus, C-Block dedicates most of its time preparing for the opposition - so opponents beware.
