- The Gee-Gees has started the 2024 season on a great note, taking down ETS and Concordia in their opening two games. Ottawa will look to carry the momentum when they meet Bishop's.
- Last season, the Gee-Gees defeated the Gaiters on home turf. A rainy game under the lights, Ottawa powered through the elements to play a dominant game of rugby.
- Brother duo, Evan and Glenn Roy, continue to be key pieces for the Gee-Gees. With 24 points between them, they're contributing greatly on both sides of the ball. Veteran Gee-Gee, Connor Billo, leads the way with a pair of tries while captain Jamie Armstrong operates as a playmaker.
