The University of Ottawa men’s hockey team could not hold back a third period Carleton comeback at the Colonel By Classic on Friday night. The Ravens scored four straight goals in the third period to take the game 4-2.
“This award is a true reflection of my uOttawa Men’s Hockey players. They are the ones doing all the work and sacrifices. It’s not about X’s and O’s, it’s all about them playing hard every night and believing in themselves.’’ — Patrick Grandmaitre, Gee-Gees head men’s hockey coach.
“Truly devastated that this dream season has come to an abrupt end. Our players stayed true to themselves by fighting till the very end. We have great young men and a dedicated staff that deserved better. But that’s sports.” —Patrick Grandmaitre, Gee-Gees head men’s hockey coach.
“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.
“Usually in the playoffs, what it comes down to is good teamwork, special teams, and goaltending. I know we have good teamwork and good goaltending, but special teams are something you’ve constantly got to work on.” —Patrick Grandmaitre, Gee-Gees head men’s hockey coach.
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.
Coming off a tough 4-3 shootout loss last week to the Concordia Stingers, the Gee-Gees looked to bounce back at home.
“I hope I score many more goals, but it’s more the timing of those that counts to me.”
The red horses took on the Carleton Ravens at Minto Sports Complex for their fourth and last meeting of the year.
