Well, the tournament gets underway today and I’m going to say that a hometown crowd can make a huge difference in how a team plays. With Ottawa U being a strong contender, playing on home ice could give them the extra push they need to ring in the gold. They’re also the only team in the tournament to beat the number one seeded McGill Martlets this season, so that’s definitely a confidence boost for the Gee Gee squad. But, it won't come easy for them. The McGill team will come out firing on all cylinders and ready for a fight. Not to mention the other big contenders, like Laurier, the OUA Champs and the defending National Champs, the U of Alberta Pandas, are going to give them a run for their money. Either way, we're going to be in for some great hockey this weekend.
But, the tournament is just the final four days in a long season, so there is always room for the unexpected. Anything could happen and any team could walk away with the gold, like Yogi Berra says, "It ain't over, 'til it's over."
