2010-11 UOIT RIDGEBACKS MEN’S HOCKEY

D I R E C TO R ’ S M E S S AG E Last season the men’s hockey team made school history as they qualified for the OUA playoffs - A Ridgebacks first! Heading into year four, expect bigger and better things from the blue and white at the Dog Pound!!!

As we move ahead, we look to continue to provide the best staff, coaches and students at our campus with the common focus of excellence for everyone. The vision includes our campus being Canada’s leader in athletics, recreation and wellness programs, combined with top flight athletic facilities. All of which will enrich the overall post secondary experience for our students.

Our intentions are to deliver a top rated, first class varsity hockey program which becomes an annual contender in the OUA and CIS. This will build a sense of pride and community on campus and will support the successful recruitment of students. The OUA is an exciting brand of hockey and we think once you have witnessed a game, you will keep coming back.

Head Coach Marlin Muylaert and his coaching staff are back for another season, as they look to build off the momentum generated from last years’ success. The Campus Ice Centre, aptly nicknamed the Dog Pound, is the official home of the Ridgebacks and was packed with fans of all ages last year. The twin pad arena complex, located right on campus, has a seating capacity in the main rink for 550 with standing room for another 250 and makes for an exciting atmosphere at home games! There is also an amazing restaurant on the second level (Shagwell’s on the Ridge) that overlooks the ice. Each Ridgebacks team also has it’s own specially designed change room, coaching space, laundry and equipment storage.

This season, we look to continue building a winning tradition at UOIT with the high caliber of coaching staff assembled along with a highly talented roster we have in place. We can’t do it however without great fans and supporters.

We hope you enjoy year four of Ridgebacks hockey!

LET’S GO RIDGEBACKS! Ken Babcock Director of Athletics

Matt PASZTOR

DEFENCE 6-2 • 190 • 1 • Commerce • Langton, Ont. • Grand Prairie AJHL

Pasztor was a workhorse for Grande Prairie of the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL) in 2009-10, playing in all 69 games for the Storm including nine playoff games. In 60 regular season games, Pasztor recorded 22 points, second highest of any defensemen on the team. The Storm finished with a 40-17-1-2 regular season record and advanced to the North division semi-finals. Prior to going out west, Pasztor played one season with the Aurora Tigers of the OPJHL (2008-09) and two seasons with the St. Thomas Stars in the Western Ontario Hockey League (WOHL). The blueliner was a regular member of the Tigers power play unit, which averaged over a goal per game that season. In the playoffs, Pasztor recorded four points in their second round series against Huntsville, including scoring the winning goal in game two. Playing in the WOHL from 2006-07 to 2007-08, Pasztor played in 91 games throughout the regular season, recording 55 points, 26 of which were on the power play. Pasztor was selected by Mississauga in the 2005 Ontario Hockey League draft.

TJ LEGGE “A”

DEFENCE 5-8 • 185 • 4 • Health Science • Chapleau, Ont. • Port Hope OPJHL

Legge returns for his fourth year as a member of the Ridgebacks. The Chapleau native is a player with great quickness, agility and instincts who uses those traits effectively to give him an advantage over his opponents. A forward when he arrived with the Ridgebacks after playing with Port Hope, Legge converted to defence and quickly became one of the teams most valuable contributors. Legge is one of only four players to play in every game for the Ridgebacks since joining the OUA in 2007-08 and is third all-time in penalty minutes (110), fifth in assists (25) and eighth in points (27). A leader on and off the ice, Legge was named the interim captain in 2009-10, and an assistant captain for the 2010-11 season.

Noyes has been a fierce competitor since joining the Ridgebacks. In his freshman year, he emerged as the leading rookie defencemen in scoring for the OUA and second overall in the entire league with eight goals and 15 assists. Noyes earned provincial recognition with a spot on the OUA all-rookie team. This past season, Noyes once again led the Ridgebacks blueline in points with four goals and eight assists. Noyes is the Ridgebacks all-time leader in power play goals with nine. Prior to joining UOIT, Noyes was named the Caley Cup player of the year in the Western Ontario Hockey League playing for the St. Mary’s Lincolns.

Whelan brings an abundance of intensity going into his third year with the Ridgebacks. His fierce speed and quick shot have allowed him to play both on the wing and also a few shifts on the blueline for the power play. In his freshman season with the Ridgebacks, Whelan led the team in penalty minutes with 82 (a single season high), punishing opposing teams on the forecheck with his strength and speed. Whelan missed almost half of the 2009-10 season with a separated shoulder but was still able to accumulate six goals and four assists in just 15 games. Whelan is second all-time in Ridgebacks penalty minutes with 117 in his career. In 2007-08, Whelan averaged over a point per game splitting time with the Hamilton Red Wings and Huntsville Otters.

Barletta is coming off his rookie season where he made a successful debut as a new comer to the OUA. The former St. Michael’s Major used his three years experience in the OHL combined with his size and strength to find instant success in the OUA. The 6’4 Port Stanley native notched one goal and seven assists in 2009-10. He is known across the province as a hard hitting blue liner who is responsible in his own end. With his new found experience in the league, Barletta is expected to have an even bigger physical impact within this team. During the 2008-09 season, he played with the Newmarket Hurricanes of the OPJHL, where he notched two goals and 17 assists in 40 games, helping the team to a play-off berth with a 28-20-5 record.

Shawn CONNORS

DEFENCE 6-0 • 205 • 1 • Criminology & Justice • Chatham, Ont. • Niagara Falls GOJHL - Kingston OHL

Connors had plenty of success in his last two seasons with the Niagara Falls Canucks. The blueliner was one of the league’s top scoring defenseman, recording 92 points in 95 games. He was also a dominant physical presence for the Canucks recording 283 penalty minutes. The Chatham native was drafted by the Kingston Frontenacs in the fourth round of the 2004 OHL draft. He played for the Frontenacs in 2005-06, where his team finished with a 37-24-4-3 record, good enough for second place in the East Division. He was plus one in 51 games.

Mike MONTGOMERY

CENTRE 6-0 • 200 • 1 • Criminology & Justice • Oshawa, Ont. • Welland GOJHL - Peterborough OHL

In 2003, Montgomery was drafted in the third round of the OHL draft by the Peterborough Petes. He played for his hometown Oshawa Legionaires prior to joining Peterborough, where he made his physical presence known recording 212 penalty minutes in 63 games, while scoring 42 points. He later joined Peterborough, playing in 48 games in two seasons for the Petes. In 2007-08, Montgomery scored 36 points in 35 games with the Welland Junior Canadiens. He was a key component of their power play unit scoring eight goals and five assists with the man advantage. He also netted three game winning goals while recording 134 penalty minutes.

Nathan SPALING “C”

CENTRE 6-4 • 205 • 4 • Criminology & Justice • Drayton, Ont. • Thorold OPJHL- Guelph OHL

In three years with UOIT, Spaling has emerged as a dominant player for the Ridgebacks as he leads the team in most games played (84), most assists (45) and overall points (65). In 200910, Spaling received the overall academic award for male athletes for the second straight year, as well as team MVP and overall male athlete of the year. Spaling was also the first recipient of the James-Baun Cup, awarded to the UOIT men’s hockey player who shows commitment, dedication, perseverance, academic responsibility, leadership and is a great teammate in the pursuit of excellence. Clearly competitive both on and off the ice, Spaling is an extremely fit hockey player with a drive for the net that is working very well for him. Prior to joining UOIT, the Drayton native was a member of the 2003/04 Ontario Champion Guelph Storm, going on to represent the OHL at the Memorial Cup. He is also a two-time CIS Academic All-Canadian.

Returning to the ice after a two year layoff from hockey, Baker had no trouble defining himself as a successful OUA forward for the Ridgebacks. Baker finished first in freshman team scoring (third overall) accumulating nine goals and 11 assists for a total of 20 points in just 26 games. His speed was his greatest asset last season as well as his ability to see the ice. The Mactier, Ont native is already sitting nicely at 11th overall in Ridgebacks points with just one season under his belt. Coaches are looking for Baker to continue the climb upward and to continue putting pucks in the net the 2010-11 season. Baker began his junior career in Oshawa as a member of the Legionnaires in 2003-04 where he picked up 16 goals and 14 assists in 47 games. During that season, Baker also played six games with the Oshawa Generals where he scored his first OHL goal. He spent the next two seasons in the OHL with the Belleville Bulls where he had 20 goals and 34 assists in 120 regular season games. As an 18 year old, Baker finished second in Belleville scoring.

McCullough is a big, very physical defensemen who is entering his second season with the Ridgebacks. The Barrie native received top honours at the year end athletic banquet as he went home with the academic award for having the top GPA of any varsity athlete. In his freshman campaign playing in every game for UOIT, McCullough racked up 56 penalty minutes. McCullough is a stay at home blueliner who coaches will be looking at in the 2010-11 season to continue to keep the physicality in the game. During the 200809 season, he was the assistant captain for the Couchiching Terriers.

AT H L E T I C FAC I L I T I E S

CRWC The Campus Recreation and Wellness Centre (CRWC), which opened in 2007 is the crown jewel of athletics and health & fitness at UOIT. The centre piece of the state-of-the-art $17 million facility is the new 28,500 sq. ft. gymnasium. The gymnasium is fully equipped with a top of the line shock resistant maple hardwood floor, seating for 2,000 spectators and a curtain system to create three separate gyms.

The triple gym also has three electronic scoreboards, a professional quality sound system and a complete floor covering system available for non-sporting events. The large gym is also host to an elevated, 200 metre, three-lane running track.

Also part of the CRWC is an additional 13,500 sq. ft. gym. The secondary gymnasium features a curtain system to create two separate courts, two scoreboards, a media gondola and bleacher seating for 1,000 spectators.

The CRWC also includes two training rooms, a boardroom and a VIP lounge. The training rooms have multiple set ups available; from classroom, to spin classes, to a training environment. The boardroom has a meeting room capacity of 24, and up to 36 for special event use. Another highlight of the CRWC is the VIP lounge that includes a great view on to main court action or other special events in the gymnasium.

The CRWC also contains ten large team rooms with showers, perfect for tournament and special event use. These rooms are used to host annual tournaments such as the David Stewart Tip-Off Tournament, the Adidas Cup and the Big 8 Classic.

Sharing space with the CRWC is the Campus Health Centre. This facility is home to a medical clinic as well as an on-site pharmacy. The Health Centre is also home to an alternative treatment clinic which offers acupuncture, chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage therapy and nutritional counseling.

The CRWC was the proud host of the 2008 Provincial Special Olympics Spring Games.

FLEX Centre

The FLEX Fitness Centre is one of the great new additions of the CRWC at UOIT. The FLEX Fitness Centre is 10,000-sq. ft., full of the best stateof-the-art cardio and weight machines. The centre also includes two aerobic/dance studios, two training rooms used for sports training and fitness related classes.

Also available to the athletes is a brand new physiotherapy room, massage therapy, acupuncture and chiropractic services. Having these services all under one roof will allow for quicker care, which in turn will result in quicker recovery and a return to game action.

2010-11 UOIT RIDGEBACKS MEN’S HOCKEY

100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE QUEEN’S CUP The history of the Queen’s Cup is rooted in Canada’s rich hockey tradition. McGill University formed the world’s first organized hockey team in 1877. By 1886, Queen’s University had also formed a team and played their cross-town rivals from Royal Military College in exhibition games. In 1891, a challenge from the McGill team to The University of Toronto resulted in the formation of the Varsity Blues hockey team. Repeated attempts to form an intercollegiate league were unsuccessful because of the expense and distance of travel.

It took 10 years of debate and occasional exhibition games, until officials from Queen’s, McGill, Toronto, Osgoode Hall, RMC, Ottawa College and Trinity University met in 1901 and agreed to form a union for the following year. A new era in the hockey world opened with the 1902-03 season, as the world’s first university hockey league was born.

As university hockey teams were still relatively new, the Canadian Intercollegiate Hockey Union (CIHU) officials devised two schedules, one was for more experienced teams and other for intermediate-level teams.

The “Senior Series”, as it was known, consisted of McGill, Queen’s and the University of Toronto. The schedule in that inaugural season consisted of only two contests (i.e. a one-game series versus each team).

The first league game was played in Kingston on Jan. 16, 1903, resulting in a 7-1 victory for Toronto over Queen’s. At that game, the Queen’s hockey club offered a silver trophy, known as the Queen’s Cup, to be presented to the eventual league champion.

McGill opened their season at home on Jan. 23, 1903 with a resounding 7-0 loss to the upstart Golden Gaels. The following week, a wild 9-7 McGill victory over the Varsity Blues, resulted in a first-place finish for McGill. Since there was no playoff format in place (that would come about some six decades later), McGill was declared the inaugural Queen’s Cup champions.

The trophy has been contested since the 1902-03 season, interrupted only by the two World Wars. After World War II the league expanded and the OUA now includes 16 institutions (after reaching a high of 17 teams in the mid-1980’s). Twelve different schools have hoisted the Queen’s Cup. Toronto has claimed ownership 41 times, including 10 straight championships in the 1920’s and 12 of 14 championships from 1964-1975. McGill is second with 13 titles, followed by UQTR (eight), Queens (six), Guelph and Montreal (five each) and Waterloo twice. Brock, McMaster, Western and Windsor have each hoisted the Cup once.

2010-11 UOIT RIDGEBACKS MEN’S HOCKEY

UOIT TRADITIONS

Ridgebacks Nickname The Ridgeback nickname represents both the athletes and the location of the University of Ontario Institute of Technology.

A Ridgeback is a large and well muscled hunting dog that is legendary for its ability and use in hunting down lions. Strong and extremely competitive by nature, the Ridgeback is also lightning quick and deftly alert while constantly paying attention to its surroundings. Known as a dominant dog with aggressive instincts, the Ridgeback moves, not only like a hunting dog, but like a dog of prey. It is strong willed and confident that thrives on vigorous exercise and athletic activities.

Native to Africa, the Ridgeback is well-known for its ability to hunt large game including lions.

In addition to describing the skills and traits of UOIT athletes, the Ridgeback nickname aptly describes the majestic Oak Ridges Moraine just north of campus.

Glenn Coady (pictured) submitted the name Ridgebacks, which was selected from over 300 submissions to become the official nickname of UOIT.

Hunter the Ridgeback Hunter the Ridgeback was born in February 2006. Needing an identity for the Ridgebacks varsity teams, the athletic department found this dog and asked the student body to name him. After a variety of names were considered Hunter was chosen. The name Hunter represents the breed’s instincts and reputation as a hunting dog in Africa.

Hunter can be found at UOIT varsity hockey games cheering on the teams and dancing up a storm, as well as at events throughout the community.

Hunter can also be seen taking part in the UOIT ‘School is Cool’ youth programs at elementary schools across the Durham Region.

The BLUE CREW

The Blue Crew has been a tradition since the first time the UOIT Ridgebacks hockey team set foot on the ice. Some of the loudest and most rowdy fans in the OUA, members of the Blue Crew can be seen on game days sporting their distinctive Blue Crew t-shirts and hard helmets.

Anyone one can be a member of the Blue Crew, all that is required is the spirit to support the Ridgebacks and an appetite to enjoy the pregame specials available to all Blue Crew members at Shagwell’s on the Ridge.
