Men’s Hockey
Add a wee bit of Irish to it
Half shamrock and half maple leaf: that’s the centerpoint of a new crest for the Ottawa Gaels, Ottawa’s 36-year old Gaelic football club.
Gaelic football is the largest sport in Ireland and has been played in Canada in one form or another since the Irish got here.
Coaching expectations
Don’t be surprised if an athletics coach at Carleton tells you to abide by the old cliché, it’s not if you win or lose, but how you play the game.
It’s the method of coaching athletes in competitive and varsity sports at the school and the mindset these bench bosses bring to the game themselves.
Raven coaches use this mentality in putting together their expectations for student athletes and their respective teams.

Carleton’s newly formed Quidditch team travelled to Montreal March 27 to play an exhibition game against McGill University in what was the first Quidditch match ever played between two Canadian teams.
The milestone match, organized by manager and coach Andrea Hill, was also Carleton’s first Quidditch match since its creation in January. Hill created the team after attending the third annual College Quidditch Cup at Middlebury College in Vermont last October.
