Starting her on ice career in the small Ontario town of Ayr, Katherine Birkby is now playing her third season in the garnet and gray.
Gee-Gees women's hockey
Five different players scored a goal in the Gee-Gees 5-2 win against the Bishop’s University Gaiters.
The Gees failed to capitalize on their opportunities Friday night.
What do athletes look forward to the most about getting back on the field this season.
The Ontario University Athletics has announced that it has cancelled all OUA sanctioned programming for the rest of 2020 cancelling the seasons of a number of Gee-Gees varsity teams and competitive clubs in the process.
The University of Ottawa’s Varsity Athletics department has named Chelsea Grills as the new head coach of the Gee-Gees women’s hockey team. Grills previously served as the interim head coach of the team following Yanick Evola’s sudden departure in November hours before a game against the University of Montreal Carabins
Every academic year, the Fulcrum hands out the Cavalry Awards for the best that the U of O’s Sports Services has to offer. This year saw some inspiring individual performances from a number of Gee-Gees. Here’s who collected the virtual hardware.
We look back at the women’s soccer team’s historic win in China, the Tramayne Stephen touchdown that changed the Panda Game, the women’s hockey teams’ record-breaking win streak, and Calvin Epistola’s heroic free throws that helped win the Capital Hoops Classic.
Emotions were high on Saturday afternoon following the women’s hockey team’s loss to McGill. The program, which enjoyed a renaissance of sorts this year in the second half of the season, said goodbye to a number of longtime players.
The Montreal Carabins put an end to the Gee-Gees women’s hockey team’s franchise record-setting six game win streak on Wednesday night with a 3-2 win over the garnet and grey.
The Minto Sports Complex was filled with fans, friends, and family for a matchup between the Gee-Gees and Ravens on Friday night. The focus was on more than just hockey, as Melisa Kingsley, a member of the Gee-Gees team who passed away in 2018, was honoured.
After defeating McGill 5-4 less than a week ago, the Gee-Gees were matched up against the Martlets on home ice for a tight, intense, game. In double overtime, Melodie Bouchard found the net to claim victory for the Gee-Gees.
In their first month as members of the Gee-Gees women’s hockey team, the rookies have become indispensable to new head coach Chelsea Grills.
It’s mission accomplished for Chelsea Grills and the women’s hockey team. A mere couple of hours after being named the team’s interim head coach, the Stittsville native’s first win is in the books.
Yanick Evola has stepped down as head coach of the women’s hockey team, just hours before the team’s 7 p.m. game against Montreal on home ice.
The University of Ottawa women’s hockey team hosted the defending Reseau de Sport Etudiant du Quebec (RSEQ) champions Université de Montréal Carabins for their home opener on Sunday afternoon. The rookies performed well, despite a 2-1 loss.
The Carabins easily won both matchups by identical 4-0 scores, ending a tough but resilient season for the Gee-Gees.
This year, U of O varsity teams have been giving back to the community in many different ways—some donating blood, others going to developing countries to teach their respective sports, while still others focused on more local causes.
“This win means that all the players are focusing on the process and focusing on the little details that are going to make us better and better week after week.”
This marked the third time the two teams met, and the first since the Alert Cup. The season series stood tied at one going into this match-up.
On Nov. 16, the University of Ottawa’s Minto Sports Complex hosted the Carleton Ravens in the first women’s Colonel By Classic.
Despite out-shooting their opponents 35-28, the Gee-Gees’ offence could only beat Martlets goalie Tricia Deguire a single time on their way to a 3-1 loss.
On the weekend of Sept. 28, the women’s hockey team played the St. Thomas Tommies and Queen’s Gaels in their final exhibition matches, coming away with a win and a loss respectively.
“We were dominant, and it showed on the scoreboard in the shots and in possession time.”
With so many new players, the Gee-Gees will have some growing to do early in the year. But with the right combination of veterans, recruits, and transfers, they have the potential to compete with the perennial powerhouses in the RSEQ, McGill and Université de Montréal.
