That year, the Blues won the Ontario championship and were national finalists. At the conclusion of the 2002-2003 season, Lowe was honoured as the OUA East Division Coach of the Year for the second time in three years (00-01). Lowe has also been involved with the Toronto Maple Leafs organization serving as a guest coach in 1998, and spent time in the summer of 2001 working with some of the Leafs prospects. In 1999-2000, Lowe was a guest coach with Canada’s national team. A graduate of U of T, Lowe has two degrees, BPHE ‘85 and B Ed ‘86. As a player, he had an impressive career at both the amateur and professional levels.

With the addition of several key rookies to a solid core of 17 returning players, the Varsity Blues men’s hockey team looks to improve upon last season’s sixth-place finish in the OUA East division. Fifth-year veteran Andrew Kizito returns as the team’s captain for the second consecutive season. With two-years of OUA competition under their belts, defencemen Matt Walters and Tyler Turcotte will be relied upon to provide leadership in their own end, while Cameron Bernier and Jeff Zippel return for their second seasons in the Blue and White. Firstyear players Tim Halloran and Marcus Yolevski, both recent graduates of the Ontario Junior Hockey League (OJHL), will also compete for ice time this season. Fourth-year veteran Robery Kay will be joined by a young group of centremen that look to lead the Blues down the middle in 2011-12. Sophomores Michael Markovic and Blake Boddy both had impressive rookie seasons with 10 and a team-high 12 goals, respectively. Rookies Tyler Luikkonen of the OJHL and Paul Van De Velde of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL) are excellent additions and will provide more depth down the middle. Assistant captain Dan Brewer enters his fifth-and-final season. The right winger is coming off a break-out year, having played in all situations and was deemed the most consistent performer of 2010-11. Paul Dupont will be looked upon to provide leadership and is a key member of the penalty kill-

ing unit, while fellow third-year player Kyle Ventura is feisty and provides energy on the ice. Sophomore Dylan O’Neil broke into the lineup midway last season and will be a good role model for two new players looking for ice time. Tyler Von Englebrechten is coming off a 35-goal season as a member of the Stoufville Spirit, while fellow OJHL graduate Alex Derlis is a hard worker in any situation. Fourth-year veteran and last year’s leading point-getter Byron Elliott leads an impressive group of left wingers this season. Bryden Teich has a great work ethic, while transfer Cassidy Preston adds good size and a scoring touch to the roster. Second-year player Anthony Bergin is also coming off a stellar rookie campaign after contributing 22 points last season. Both sophomore Charlie McDonald, who makes the change from centre to wing, and rookie Kevin Deagle of the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL) have very good size and speed. Toronto’s only returning goalie in 2011-12, Garrett Sheehan displayed great potential last season and will take on a more significant role between the pipes. He is joined by rookies Brett Willows, who is coming off a very impressive career in the MJHL. Fellow first-year goalie Charles Williams will serve as a back up to the two Western Canadians.

The Varsity Blues men’s hockey team concluded their 2010-11 regular season campaign in sixth place in the OUA East division with a 10-11-7 record. Third-year forward Byron Elliott led Toronto with 28 points in just 20 games played throughout the season. Rookie Blake Boddy and sophomore Kyle Ventura were the squad’s top scorers with 12 markers apiece on the year. Veteran Andrew Martin played 21 games between the pipes for the Blues, recording eight victories and posting a 0.903 save percentage. Toronto began their OUA East best-of-three quarterfinal series against the third-seeded Carleton Ravens with a 2-1 victory at Varsity Arena. The Blues then headed to Carleton and were soundly defeated, 7-3, by the home team, forcing a third and deciding game to also be played on the Ravens ice. The tenth-ranked team in the CIS promptly ended Toronto’s year, as Carleton shut out the Blues 4-0 in Game 3.

As part of the Varsity Blues family, men’s hockey is one of 44 men’s and women’s teams in 26 sports offered by U of T. The breadths of the Varsity Blues experience and legacy are unmatched at a Canadian university. Tradition, success and excellence are three words that are synonymous with Varsity Blues hockey. The hockey Blues, one of the University of Toronto’s oldest and most successful teams, were formed on January 15, 1891. In 1902-03, Toronto joined Queen’s and McGill to form Canada’s first intercollegiate hockey league. The late Conn Smythe, founder of the Toronto Maple Leafs, was a Blues coach from 1923 to 1926, the first in a number of well-known personalities to stand behind the Varsity bench. Smythe was also a player and Blues captain while studying engineering in 1915. When Smythe founded the Maple Leafs, he ‘borrowed’ the familiar Varsity Blues sweater design for his new team. Other well-known Blues coaches include former Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson (1926-28), Ace Bailey (1935-40 and 1945-49), Justice Joseph Kane (1962-65) and Mike Keenan (1983-84).

Tom Watt, a major influence in Canadian hockey, led the Blues to nine of their 10 national titles during his coaching career at U of T, which spanned from 1965 to 1979, and again in 1984-85. Watt was a member of the Canadian Olympic team coaching staff in 1980 and 1988 and has been head coach of the NHL’s Winnipeg Jets, Vancouver Canucks and Toronto Maple Leafs. The Blues have played a prominent role on the international hockey scene. The Varsity Grads, a team of former Blues players, captured the gold medal at the 1928 Olympic Games in St. Moritz, Switzerland. In 1968, the Blues earned the bronze medal for Canada at the World University Games. In February 1972, the Blues thrilled a capacity crowd at Varsity Arena with a dramatic 5-1 victory over the USSR student national team. The Varsity presence in Olympic hockey continued during the 1980s. At Lake Placid in 1980, Tom Watt was a co-coach of Team Canada with a roster that included no fewer than six Blues players: Warren Anderson, Dan D’Alvise, Cary Farelli, Joe Grant,
L
Shane Pearsall and Stelio Zupancich. Anderson and current head coach Darren Lowe were Olympians in 1984 at Sarajevo. In 1992-93, after capturing the Queen’s Cup, the Blues lost to Acadia in the national final. U of T’s most recent national title was won in 198384, when coach Mike Keenan led the Blues to a 9-1 victory over the Concordia Stingers. The Blues have won 10 national, 21 Ontario league and 10 additional titles for a total of 41 championships in the team’s history. “During my years in hockey I have been fortunate to have been part of many great traditions. However, the tradition of excellence at the University of Toronto is unsurpassed by any I have seen. It’s great people who have created this great program. Being a part of Blues Hockey is something I hold very close to my heart.” - Mike Keenan, former GM of NHL’s Florida Panthers
