Colin Belliveau: Man of many faces. (John Fisken photos)

Colin Belliveau just seems like a good dude.

A friendly, easy-going guy, he fit right in after moving to Cow Town from Republic High School in Eastern Washington during his junior year.

Since becoming a Wolf, he’s tried his hand at football (transitioning from the 8-man game to the 11-man game) and soccer, and is a frequent presence at CHS events, loudly and proudly rooting for his classmates.

Belliveau also holds a place of distinction for the fact he’s VERY animated in the photos he pops up in. Take a look at the collage above and you’ll see what I mean.

That alone makes him a huge favorite here at Coupeville Sports headquarters.

After the basketball photo ran, he walked past me at a game, grinned broadly and said “Man, that camera knows just when to go off with me.”

Some guys try to be cool. Others just are.

Colin, who celebrates a birthday today, is obviously one of the latter kind.

So, a quick shout-out to our version of The Dude in “The Big Lebowski.”

Like Jeff Bridges, Belliveau abides and makes it all look easy-peasy.

I know Republic misses him, but he’s a part of Wolf Nation now, and we’re very happy we got the chance to meet him.
