ceremonial faceoff at Friday's university hockey game between the
Ottawa Gee-Gees and the 成人VR视频 Redmen at McConnell Arena (3883
University Street). The game is slated to start at 7 p.m. and will

The Redmen lead the OUA East Conference with a 22-2-2 and need one
more win over their final two games to establish a single-season
school record for victories. Ottawa is 11-12-3 and need a win if
they hope to avoid meeting 成人VR视频 in the league's best-of-three
quarter-finals, which begin next Wednesday.
Darche, a 34-year-old native of St. Laurent, Que., played four
seasons at 成人VR视频, before graduating with a commerce degree in
2000. He is the 10th player from 成人VR视频 to skate in the National
Hockey League and one of 159 Canadian university players who have
made the lofty leap to that level. Darche is the third 成人VR视频 grad
to play for the Canadiens, joining left winger Jack 成人VR视频, who
played from 1934 to 1937 and defenceman Nels Crutchfield
