DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE It is the sixth year of UOIT Ridgebacks women’s 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 six 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 as well as 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 liked veterinarian died an untimely death in the mid 1960’s.

OUA OUTDOOR CLASSIC
OUA Outdoor Classic By Shawn Cayley - Metroland Media Jessica Larabie experienced a couple of firsts last week. One being more of a milestone, the other providing more of a laugh. Much to her delight, the Pickering native was the starting goaltender for the UOIT Ridgebacks as they took part in the first ever OUA Winter Classic at Ivor Wynne Stadium in Hamilton against the Brock Badgers. And while they fell short in dropping a 3-2 decision, the experience of taking to the ice in the middle of a football stadium isn’t something that will soon be forgotten. “It was nerve-wracking. My heart was beating like a million times a minute. It was very scary because we all knew how big this was,” Larabie said when asked about her first impressions while walking out to the ice surface prior to the game. “It took me like five minutes in my goalie pads to walk out to the ice, but it was exciting. All of our families were there, our friends. It was a good experience.” The other first for Larabie came in the form of an alteration to her equipment. With the snow falling and the blustering wind wrecking havoc, the Ridgebacks netminder needed a little something to keep warm out on the ice. Enter the helmet toque, something never before tried by Larabie. “That was interesting. We glued it on so it would stay and it helped it,” she said with a laugh. “It made my head warm.” While the conditions in warm up made it tough for Larabie to get comfortable in the Ridgebacks net, as the game went on, things cleared up from her view. However, from the crease on out, the accumulation of snow, the brisk wind and changing light made things tough on the skaters. “The feet weren’t moving as quick sometimes and the ice was soft,” explained Ridgebacks forward Jennifer Daly. “The puck, sometimes you would get it and lose it in the snow bank in the corner and they would pick it up off you and turn it up ice for a chance.” Those difficulties, though, were more than worth the hassle, admitted the Ajax resident. “I love pond hockey,” she said. “It was just amazing. Looking out and up at everything. The Canadian flag in the seats. The snow was just blowing in your face. I was so much more pumped up than usual. It was great to be there.” Ridgebacks leading scorer Jill Morillo of Whitby shared similar sentiments. “Walking out, the first initial reaction, you’re just so overwhelmed,” she said in looking back. “Obviously you’re not used to such a big stadium. Just looking around you’re trying to take it all in. It was a great feeling.” Both of the Ridgebacks goals in the Classic were scored by Vanessa Johnstone.
