OTTAWA GAME NOTES

  • Major stat leaders

  • The Gee-Gees have been flawless over the Ravens so far this season, defeating their rivals in all three of their previous matchups.
  • In last year's Colonel By Classic, Bradley Chenier logged a hat trick against the Ravens. Liam Markhouser and Max Grondin each contributed a goal as well. All three have been notable players for the team this season.
