Ready for ringette
Just over a year ago, Allison Madeley kick-started a Carleton women’s ringette team.
The sport, which is similar to hockey but with a ring instead of a puck, is not traditionally offered to Carleton students.
Managed by Madeley, the team is maintained through the co-operation of teammates, in addition to a volunteer coach.
Athletics marketing club underway
There is a new athletics promotions club at Carleton University, and they want to make sure everyone knows who they are.
Ravens add globetrotter in goal
Konnichiwa, dobry den and hello.
Three languages and three completely different ways of saying hello, all known by one Carleton Ravens women’s hockey player. But to her, none of these matter because hockey is her first language.
Born in Tokyo, Japan, Eri Kiribuchi, 21, has played hockey in her home country, the Czech Republic, and the United States — explaining how she can speak each of these countries’ native tongues. But now, Kiribuchi is back in Canada as she takes her place between the pipes for the Ravens.
Men ballers back on track
The Carleton Ravens men’s basketball team defeated the Bishop’s University Gaiters at home in exhibition play Oct. 7, with a convincing 86-25 victory at the Ravens’ Nest.
A strong defensive effort by fourth-year forward Aaron Chapman with eight rebounds and a game-high 16 points from fifth-year guard Elliot Thompson helped the Ravens secure their second win of the pre-season.
Ravens split weekend series
The Carleton Ravens men’s hockey team opened their 2010-2011 season last weekend, splitting back-to-back games with the RMC Paladins and Ryerson University Rams respectively.
The team ran into two very hot goaltenders, and while they were able to overcome this obstacle Oct. 8, they were not so lucky the following day.
Things got off to a flying start just five minutes into the game at RMC, when Ravens assistant captain Ryan Berard tipped in a point shot on the power play to open the team’s account for the season.
