Thread for the men and women.

The men's championship is hosted by Carleton at Keith Harris Stadium in Ottawa from Nov 7-10. I can only attend the final on Nov 10th. However, both the championships will be on Rogers Sportsnet. The men on Nov 10th at noon (live) and the women at 8pm on Nov 10th (tape delay).

How does the level of Canadian universities compare to their American counter parts?

I have no idea, because I have only watched the US version. A few years ago, Queens (from Kingston) beat St Lawrence (Div III champions that year) 2-0. I don't think many Canadian university teams play their US counterparts.

Québec Champions are McGill, edging out UdM on a sketchy early goal (header cleared off the line in mid-air), 1-0.

A UdM player got badly injured (and was squirting blood) at around 62'. He was taken to hospital by an ambulance.

Thanks for the update Daniel. How did McGill look? I hope the UdM player is okay...

Following ethnic stereotypes, UdM was all individual play and flash, while McGill looked solid as a team.

Definitely a contender.

Toronto wins the OUA Championship with a 2-1 victory over Carleton. The Carleton coach received a red card in the 89th minute.

Tournament starts today with two matches. The weather is cold, -5C, but it should be warming up to 10-14C by the weekend. Victoria is probably the favourite going into the tournament, in my opinion.

I attended the men's final at Keith Harris Stadium today in Ottawa.

Brock 1 Carleton (Ottawa) 0
- Brock scored the winning goal near the end of the first extra time period. Just before the goal, a Brock player hit the post and it rolled across the line.
- Carleton hit the post twice in the first half, and really should have been up 2-0. Brock switched keepers (no injury) for the second half and brought in a 6'5 225lbs keeper!
- The second half wasn't too interesting. Both teams had problems generating chances. It also started to ran in the second half.
- Brock had much of the play in the first extra time and deserved to win.
- About 1,000 people showed up.... I think...

Oh yeah, Crazy_Yank, the level wasn't too impressive. I know a few teams in the IIAC who wouldn't have a problem playing against Brock or Carleton.

Saw some of the game on the TV. Yep, the level of play was crap and it looked like they were playing in a public park.
