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.

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.
