Famous 5 Ottawa is pleased to honour four-time Olympic medalist – and a true nation builder - Hayley Wickenheiser, Captain of the Canadian Women’s Hockey Team, one of the best female hockey players in the world. And it is not just her lethal slapshot that has earned her such respect. Hayley is also an award winner, community leader, mentor, history-maker, and an accomplished businesswoman. The Famous 5 - Emily Murphy, Louise McKinney, Nellie McClung, Henrietta Muir Edwards, and Irene Parlby - would be proud to honour her for following in their spirit!

It is not an individual’s height, gender or ethnicity, but rather a person’s integrity, personal fitness and commitment to the community that are key factors in whether “You can be a firefighter,” according to the City’s 2010 Firefighter Recruitment Campaign.

This recruitment campaign “You Can Be a Firefighter” is designed to attract a diversity of applicants – including women and people from different ethnic groups. Applications will be accepted from May 3 to 31, 2010.

Congratulations to Novice #1 and Atom #2 for advancing to the House League City Championships this coming weekend! We wish you the best of luck on Saturday morning at 10am & 11am at the Sensplex .
Congratulations also goes out to several other teams who had great playoff runs and almost made the finals: Novice #2, Peewee #2 and Bantam #1 were all tied for 2nd place in their divisions, only losing a spot in the Championship finals due to tie-breakers.
Way to go girls and coaches!

Congratulations to the competitive teams who attended the Brampton tournament on Easter weekend. All three teams went undefeated in the round robin and placed 1st in their pools. Peewee BB finished with SILVER, Bantam B made it to the semi-finals in a large 20 team division, losing by a close 1-0 score, Intermediate A finished with SILVER. Great job players & coaches; once again you have done the OGHA proud.

Congratulations to the OTTAWA ICE players who captured the silver medal at the Brampton Canadettes 43rd Annual Tournament this weekend.  With only 10 skaters, Peewee BB went undefeated in the round robin securing the top spot in their pool.  It took heart and determination to win the quarter-finals against the Barrie Sharks and the semi-finals against the Vaughan Flames.  The ICE faced their league rivals, Smiths Falls in the finals.  Although the girls skated hard, the game ended in a heart breaking loss.  Congratulations to Roslyn, Wendy, Alanna, Arin (Tournament MVP), Emma, Katie B., Lia, Katherine, Megan, Michelle and Rachel . BIG THANKS to our awesome bench staff Danika, Corliss, Mike and Andrew.  What a perfect way to end the season!
