Stingers end Raven streak in shootout
After a five-game winning streak, the Ravens men’s hockey team took a hard loss to the Concordia Stingers Jan. 20 at the Ice House.
The Ravens had just come off a back-to-back on-the-road victory weekend against McGill University Jan. 16 and Concordia Jan. 17. The Sunday game against Concordia, which saw the Ravens coming from behind and winning 2-1 in a shootout, was to almost repeat itself. But Concordia came from behind and won 3-2 in a shootout.
Nordic ski team snags six medals
The Carleton Nordic ski team raced its way onto the podium, winning a successful six out of 12 medals in North Bay at the Ontario University Athletics (OUA) race hosted by Nipissing University Jan. 16-17.
“I’ve been coaching for 25 years and I haven’t had eight men finish in the top 11,” said head coach John Langston.
The Ravens started strong with team veterans Alana Thomas and Collin Abbott both winning silver medals in their races on Saturday, Jan. 16.
