For the first time since its re-establishment in 2016, the U of O men’s hockey program will take part in the OUA East final after defeating the UQTR Patriotes 4-2 in Trois-Rivières Sunday afternoon. The Gee-Gees will have home-ice advantage when they face off with the Concordia Stingers starting this week

Gee-Gees defenceman Jean-Robin Mantha was back on the ice for the first time since the 2017-18 season on Sunday night. Mantha, who’s been fighting testicular cancer for the last year and a half, looked to bring the Gee-Gees a win against the RMC Paladins.

“We want to make sure that we can win that first game. In this type of playoff format, it’s not like a best of seven where you have a few games to come back.” —Mathieu Newcomb, Gee-Gees forward.

With their sixth consecutive win in the bag, the Garnet and Grey have the longest winning streak in the country, and with five games left in the regular season they are showing no signs of slowing down.
