Competitive curling comes to Carleton
After a year of planning and preparation, Carleton officially has a competitive curling club, confirmed Bob Rumscheidt, manager of interuniversity programs at Carleton.
Carleton’s department of recreation and athletics approved both men’s and women’s curling for this year thanks to students coming forward indicating their interest in starting a team, and from a change in the Ontario University Athletics (OUA) curling rules, he said.
Winless on the Rideau
The Carleton Ravens and University of Ottawa Gee-Gees rowing teams shattered the calm, glass-like surface of Rideau Canal Sept. 25 as they took part in the Head of the Rideau Regatta.
Ravens drop game to UPEI
The Carleton Ravens men’s hockey team saw their pre-season record drop to 0-2 with a 5-2 loss to the University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI) Panthers Sept. 22.
Veteran defenceman Justin Caruana said the Ravens didn’t put out their best effort in the loss and felt they should have capitalized on their home ice advantage in the game, which was played off-campus at the Kemptville Arena in Ottawa.
Stanisz cut from Leafs main training camp
Carleton Ravens men’s hockey defenceman Matt Stanisz was one of 23 players cut from the Toronto Maple Leafs training camp Sept. 21, putting an end to his amateur tryout with the NHL club.
The defenceman had initially only been invited to the rookie tournament held in Oshawa, Ont. from Sept. 10-13, but his play earned him a spot in main camp with the big club.
