Mens hockey falls to Nipissing
After losing the first game of a home-and-home series with the Nipissing Lakers Nov. 12, the Carleton Ravens men’s hockey team dropped their second straight decision, falling 4-3 to the Lakers on home ice the following evening.
The Lakers jumped out to a quick start, notching three goals in the span of 13 minutes in the opening frame. The North Bay, Ont. outfit, who now boast the top-ranked power play in Ontario University Athletics (OUA), scored two of their first-period goals on the man advantage.
Former Ravens coach scouting for the Flames
Fred Parker, former head coach of the Carleton Ravens varsity men’s hockey team, is keeping busy roaming the nation in search of new talent for the Calgary Flames as his lawsuit with Carleton moves forward.
The Flames hired Parker as a scout in August, following Carleton’s controversial dismissal of the head coach, who had led the fledgling Ravens to three consecutive playoffs runs.
Carleton goes to Quidditch World Cup
The result wasn’t what they were hoping for, but if you think the Carleton Quidditch team’s performance at the World Cup in New York City put a damper on their weekend, you don’t know Quidditch.
The World Cup featured 46 teams and 757 athletes/Harry Potter enthusiasts from all across Canada and the United States, according to the International Quidditch Association. Every team played three games on the opening day and the top teams from each group advanced to the playoffs.
Injuries impact Ravens on the road
The injury-ridden Carleton Ravens women’s basketball team headed out on the road for the first time last weekend, recording their first loss and third win of the season.
The Ravens fell to the Wilfred Laurier University Golden Hawks 59-51 Nov. 12, but defeated the University of Waterloo Warriors 59-42 the following night.
Ravens head coach Taffe Charles said lack of execution and inexperience were the team’s reason for defeat against the Golden Hawks.
