THE GEE-GEES (13-5 regular season, 1-0 playoffs) kicked off the playoffs on Feb. 18 in front of a very supportive home crowd at Montpetit Hall in the Ontario quarter-final game. The second-seeded Gees were triumphant in four sets against the seventh-place University of Guelph Gryphons (9-9 regular season, 0-1 playoffs), earning their ticket to the semifinals after a four-game winning [...]
IT’S THE MOST wonderful time of the year! With students a-studying, and everyone telling you, “Midterms are here,” It’s the most wonderful time of the year. It’s the scar-scariest season of all. With those warnings of cheating and group project meetings. When exams come to call, it’s the scar-scariest season of all. There’ll be readings for reading, proposals for writing, [...]
WITH ONLY TWO games left in the women’s hockey team’s regular season, it’s time to kick it up a notch. The team was unable to do so last weekend and suffered two losses to the McGill University Martlets (17-1-1) and the University of Montreal Carabins (12-5-1). As much as the Gee-Gees (6-12) tried, they could not prevent the onslaught they [...]

Although the Gees lost both games at the Minto Sports Complex, their overall record was still good enough to merit them [...]

The first thing I noticed was the crowd—there was an actual lineup of students decked out in red and white at the entrance. The Fulcrum was pushed through the crowds [...]
“LET’S GO, U of O!” Cheering is only one part of a sport fan’s mantra. The dedicated fan is loud, obnoxious, funny, and loves the Gee-Gees, even if they don’t quite understand the sport. You can spot them with a beer in one hand and a noise-making device in the other. They are the most popular and well-known people in [...]
WITH NINE FIRST-PLACE finishes in their pockets, the University of Ottawa track and field team is well on its way to the Ontario University Athletics (OUA) championships.

THE FUTURE OF the Gee-Gees’ football team is set to arrive and excitement surrounding the newest quarterback recruit 17-year-old Winnipeg native Théo Deezar is pulsing throughout the team. Deezar is a bilingual athlete who has already racked up some impressive hardware.
