DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE It is the fifth year of UOIT Ridgebacks hockey and we expect bigger and better things from the blue and white at the Dog Pound! As we move ahead, we look to continue to provide the best staff, coaches and students at our campus with the common focus of excellence for everyone. The vision includes our campus being Canada’s leader in athletics, recreation and wellness programs, combined with top flight athletic facilities. All of which will enrich the overall post secondary experience for our students. Our intentions are to deliver a top rated, first class varsity hockey program which becomes an annual contender in the OUA and CIS. This will build a sense of pride and community on campus and will support the successful recruitment of students. The OUA is an exciting brand of hockey and we think once you have witnessed a game, you will keep coming back. Head Coach and Canadian hockey legend Karen Nystrom and her coaching staff are back for another season, as they look to build off the momentum generated from last season. The Campus Ice Centre, aptly nicknamed the Dog Pound, is the official home of the Ridgebacks and was packed with fans of all ages last year. The twin pad arena complex, located right on campus, has a seating capacity in the main rink for 550 with standing room for another 250 and makes for an exciting atmosphere at home games! There is also an amazing restaurant on the second level (Shagwell’s on the Ridge) that overlooks the ice. Each Ridgebacks team also has it’s own specially designed change room, coaching space, laundry and equipment storage. This season, we look to continue building a winning tradition at UOIT with the high caliber of coaching staff assembled along with a highly talented roster we have in place. We can’t do it however without great fans and supporters. We hope you enjoy year five of Ridgebacks hockey! LET’S GO RIDGEBACKS! Ken Babcock Director of Athletics

UOIT TRADITIONS
Ridgebacks Nickname The Ridgeback nickname represents both the athletes and the location of the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. A Ridgeback is a large and well-muscled hunting dog that is legendary for its ability and use in hunting down lions. Strong and extremely competitive by nature, the Ridgeback is also lightning quick and deftly alert while constantly paying attention to its surroundings. Known as a dominant dog with aggressive instincts, the Ridgeback moves, not only like a hunting dog, but like a dog of prey. It is strong willed and confident that thrives on vigorous exercise and athletic activities. Native to Africa, the Ridgeback is well-known for its ability to hunt large game including lions. In addition to describing the skills and traits of UOIT athletes, the Ridgeback nickname aptly describes the majestic Oak Ridges Moraine just north of campus. Glenn Coady (pictured) submitted the name Ridgebacks, which was selected from over 300 submissions to become the official nickname of UOIT.
Hunter the Ridgeback Hunter the Ridgeback was born in February 2006. Needing an identity for the Ridgebacks varsity teams, the athletic department found this dog and asked the student body to name him. After a variety of names were considered Hunter was chosen. The name Hunter represents the breed’s instincts and reputation as a hunting dog in Africa. Hunter can be found at UOIT varsity hockey games cheering on the teams and dancing up a storm, as well as at events throughout the community. Hunter can also be seen taking part in the UOIT ‘School is Cool’ youth programs at elementary schools across the Durham Region.
The BLUE CREW The Blue Crew has been a tradition since the first time the UOIT Ridgebacks hockey team set foot on the ice. Some of the loudest and most rowdy fans in the OUA, members of the Blue Crew can be seen on game days sporting their distinctive Blue Crew t-shirts and hard helmets. Anyone one can be a member of the Blue Crew, all that is required is the spirit to support the Ridgebacks and an appetite to enjoy the pregame specials available to all Blue Crew members at Shagwell’s on the Ridge.

DR. JUDY MCCAW MEMORIAL TROPHY The Women’s Ice Hockey Championship team is presented with the Dr. Judy McCaw Trophy. Originally awarded in 1922 as the WIAU Ice Hockey Trophy, it was rededicated in 1972 by the University of Guelph in McCaw’s honour. McCaw was a feisty center forward on Guelph’s women’s hockey team. She is fondly remembered for her exceptional leadership qualities, aptitude in the classroom and her overall athletic ability. The well like veterinarian died an untimely death in the mid 1960’s.

OUA WOMEN OF INFLUENCE
Shannon Galea • Rowing/Squash UOIT rower Shannon Galea, a first-year Education student, was recognized as one of the top female scholar athletes in Ontario University Athletics (OUA). Galea received her award on Wednesday, March 2 at the eighth annual Women of Influence Luncheon at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Galea was a member of the Ridgebacks novice women’s eight crew on the water this season. At the OUA championship, she and her crew went on to win the first OUA medal in UOIT Ridgeback rowing program history, a bronze. Leading up to the OUA championship, the women’s novice eight crew won a gold medal at the Guelph Invitational and gold at the Brock Invitational. Galea doesn’t only excel at rowing; she will also become the first person to represent UOIT at the OUA Squash Championships in March. The Oshawa, Ontario native was also formerly named an Ontario Intercollegiate Women’s Fast Pitch Association (OIWFA) All-Star and MVP with McMaster University and won the 2009 OIWFA Championship. The honour roll student’s extracurricular activities include her involvement on the UOIT Ridgebacks’ rowing executive and serving as coordinator of the UOIT extramural women’s flag football team. The OUA Women of Influence event honours female student-athletes who have excelled in their chosen sports, fields of study and community involvement. This year’s guest speaker was tennis star Venus Williams. The legendary tennis star is a winner of five Wimbledon titles, seven Grand Slams, 41 WTA tour titles and three Olympic gold medals.
