The recent Twitch leak revealed the payouts of popular streamers on the platform. No surprise, some of these people are making millions of dollars, and people aren’t all too happy about it.
“Our team is much faster, and we have more depth in terms of multiple swimmers able to score points at multiple events,” said swimmer Allen Zheng.
While University of Ottawa students agree that there are plenty of reasons to be excited for Panda, what do Gee-Gees athletes consider their favourite parts of the annual fall tradition?
Francis Perron took the field one last time in Kingston, although he may not have been physically present on this windy Saturday, his spirit was.
On Matt Anthony Field, the Gee-Gees men’s rugby team took the lead in the second half to defeat the Montreal Carabins and improve their record to 2-1 this season.
When it comes to the things he’s passionate about, it is clear that Kevin Victome understands the grind. Between football and music, Victome is not afraid to dream big, and is putting in the work to achieve those dreams.
Sacha, The Reklaws, and Dean Brody wrapped up City Folk with country night.
In their second showing of the year, the U of O women’s rugby team fell to Laval in a low-scoring game. This is their first meeting of the season, and the team will travel to Quebec city in search of revenge in just a few days.
What do athletes look forward to the most about getting back on the field this season.

After nearly two years without playing, U of O rugby teams will take the field for the RSEQ fall season starting on Sept. 11.
With the year coming to a close, it’s time to announce the winners of the annual Cavalry Awards.
“Being able to get exposure at the professional level and being able to compete with big names and pro players is such an exciting experience and I can’t wait to see how I’ll do,” said Guillaume Pépin after being drafted into the CEBL by the Ottawa BlackJacks.
I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to work with during the pandemic.
“I threw my cleats in my backpack, clueless to the reality that I wouldn’t have the opportunity to compete against another team for over a year- and counting.”
Dylan St. Pierre, who just closed out his final season as a Gee-Gee, is looking forward to participating in the CFL combine despite the change to a virtual format.
The University of Ottawa Rocket League team took down the Sault Cougars in a 4-2 series win to earn themselves the OPSE championship after a strong 10-2 regular season record.
There are plenty of recruits throughout the university’s various teams that are sure to make an impact on the athletics program.
“Time flies when you’re having fun, and streaming on Twitch is probably the most fun thing I can think of,” says the Fulcrum’s sports editor, Jasmine McKnight.
Growing up, every athlete has someone they look up to — a professional player, a coach, maybe even an older brother or sister. Here are athletes some of the Gee-Gees have idolized.
How did you spend your Super Sunday? This is how the Fulcrum’s sports editor spent hers.
This year, U Sports announced the campaign would be taking place online from Feb. 1 to 7. But even with the shift, various teams throughout Canada have stepped up to make the weeklong digital event the best it can be.
