Carleton’s men’s hockey team added four former Ontario Hockey League (OHL) players to its roster this year out of a total of eight new recruits.

One of these rookies is first-year economics major Brad Albert, a former assistant captain with the Brampton Battalion.

“I picked Carleton because I knew it was a good school, and it was also close to home,” said Albert, a 21 year-old defenceman originally from Ottawa. “I just really like Ottawa, and I was ready to move back into town.”

A weekend of mixed results saw the Carleton Ravens men’s soccer team suffer their first loss of the season at the hands of the Trent University Excalibur Oct. 9 at Keith Harris Stadium.

The 1-0 loss came courtesy of a 15th minute goal by Trent striker Eli Adansi, who found some space inside the Ravens penalty area and headed the ball past goalkeeper Karl Wasslen.

The Carleton University golf team is in full swing this season as it starts to look towards the Ontario University Athletics (OUA) championship, in which team member Karen Millage wants to help lead the Ravens to a potential top three finish.

Millage is the recent recipient of a prestigious Golf Association of Ontario (GAO) scholarship, the Craig Revell award. This scholarship is given to a university athlete who shows success not only in golf but also in their academic pursuits.

The Carleton Ravens women’s basketball team won their second consecutive game Oct. 3, dominating the College Montmorency Les Nomades by a score of 74–44 at the Ravens’ Nest.

Gavin and Jessica Resch received some great advice from their mom when they were younger.

“She used to tell us, you’d never make a team if you couldn’t do a left handed lay-up,” Gavin recalled. “She was always there to help us practice.”
