‘A streak for the ages’
When their program was founded in 1994, the Gee-Gees started by remarkably stringing together an eight-year, 17-game win streak against their crosstown rivals, the Carleton Ravens. A tie game in 2002 put an end to that, but an incredible, unbeaten streak remained for another 11 years. Ottawa’s good fortune finally ran out this year on Oct. 12, when Carleton defeated them 4–1, ending the unbeaten streak after a total of 20 years and 41 games.

Pur Instinct : Le mouvement prend de l’ampleur
Pur Instinct s’avère être un mix de plusieurs sports à la base. En bref, les joueurs sont placés en situation de « 3 contre 2 », et le but est pour eux de traverser les 30 verges les séparant de la zone des buts pour marquer des points, ce sans se faire toucher, et sans que le ballon ne tombe au sol. La progression peut se faire par la course et par la passe, pourvu que celle-ci soit faite avec le pied ou avec le poing. Après trois « retraits », il y a changement attaque-défense, et ce pendant cinq manches.
