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.
