RYERSON ATHLETES GET DOLLED UP FOR AWARDS

By Christine Eagleson Ryerson athletes from every sport got a change to hang up their cleats and skates at last Wednesday’s Interuniversity Sports Awards.

RYERSON NEEDS MORE RINK RATS

By James Mirtle There’s a Canadian mythos that surrounds the hockey scout. This, after all, is a guy who gets paid to watch hockey games. A brooding figure at the far end of the rink, he sips his styrofoam cup of rink coffee and puts a checkmark on his battered clipboard every so often. Players […]

Soccer teams doing their homework in the off-season

By Matthew Chung If there’s anything positive the Rams’ women’s soccer team can take out of a winless regular season, it’s that they can’t do any worse. Head coach Jon Sanderson is looking to bring in new players next season to help his team get some wins. Sanderson says better goalkeeping is a priority for […]

A tale of two coaches

By Joseph Galiwango The men’s basketball team may be on the lookout now for the next Errol Fraser, but why look any further than their own bench boss? This year, the Rams’ 33-year-old coach Patrick Williams finished his first stint as head of the Ryerson men’s basketball team with two years left of eligibility as […]

Men’s basketball team wants to lose, say sport psychologists

By Astrid Poei The Ryerson Rams men’s basketball team may think they’re going to lose, so that’s why they lose, believe some sport psychologists, who say that losing is a self-fulfilling prophesy. In the wake of an abysmal season, where the boys in blue and gold went on a 22-game losing skid, the Rye ballers […]

Tanktops intimidate elderly

By Michelle Magnan Much to the ire of tanktop fans, the RAC has banned the sleeveless shirts. On average, James Eaton, a part-time gym employee, warns one arm-baring exerciser every 45 minutes that “repeat offenders” must leave the gym. Nino Robles, the fitness centre co-ordinator, says there are two reasons for the ban. The first […]

V-ball stars work for the future

By Shalini Ruparell The women’s volleyball team may have missed the playoffs this year, but two of their young stars give the team hope it will improve next season. In her second season at Ryerson, Anjela Wilson has become one of the top volleyballers in the country, recording more digs per set than any other […]

Basketball finds new stars

The Ryerson Rams basketball teams have seen better days. The women went 9 and 15 this season, while the men went winless in 22 games. The organizers, coaches, players and fans all agree on one thing – Ryerson basketball is in dire need of recruitment. The first stage of any recruitment plan is identification. Ryerson […]

RAC difficult for the disabled

By Cybele Sack For disabled students who need a scooter to get around campus, the doors to the Ryerson Athletic Centre, represent not an entrance but a barrier. Whenever 18-year-old Aaron Broverman wants to use the RAC, he has to take his scooter to his residence at the International Learning Centre and wheel two blocks […]

Ryerson team joins universal sport

By Suzanne Ma Sandun Weerasinghe wants to share the excitement of the dragon boat experience with his fellow Ryerson students. “True, dragon boat has roots in Asian culture, but it’s a universal sport. People come to support each other and they do it through the sport,” he says. The Ryerson Rampage is the first official […]

Men’s hockey wrap

By James Mirtle Put a fork in them. The Rams men’s hockey team lost their final game of the season 5-1 to the Royal Military College Paladins on Sunday.
