“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.
“We just played our style, skated and worked hard. We were confident … that we would find a way to get back into the game.”
Entering the game, the Gee-Gees were undefeated in regulation, sitting in first place in the OUA with a record of 9-0-1, while Carleton sat in fifth with a weaker 6-3-2 record.
The Gee-Gees opened up the 2018-19 season on the road against their crosstown rival Carleton Ravens on Oct. 11.
On Sept. 22, the Minto Sports Complex hosted a matchup between the University of Ottawa Gee-Gees and the St.Francis Xavier X-men in preseason action for men’s hockey.
