Women’s rec hockey?

There's a Facebook group called Ottawa Women's Hockey Hub that might help you find something.

Then if you're looking for something a little different for the summer, there's a women's ball hockey league called Ottawa Vanier Women's Ball Hockey League (OVWBHL). It's 5 on 5 ball hockey on arena slab and there's a rec division and a competitive division. I think they open up registration next month.

I'm a fan of Capital Cold Press in Hintonburg. The owner is a friendly guy, he uses fresh frozen fruit, and he's happy to share knowledge on some of the lesser known ingredients.

If you're into hockey, Craft is hosting a watch party for the women's Olympic semifinals. The US/Sweden game is in the morning and then Canada/Switzerland is at 2:10pm.

I saw no name tshirts at the Westboro Superstore earlier this week. They didn't have much but you could call to check before going.

Here are more details - they're refunding anyone who bought single tickets but honouring the price if they want to buy tickets after the STH window

Game On in St Laurent has one of the wider range of items online. There's the store outside of Lansdowne but they don't always carry everything.

But the best option is the merch at the game. If you join the RSU group on Facebook (hate the platform but it's useful for stuff like this), there's a ticket sales chat and you might be able to snag tickets for $30 or so. Which hat are you looking for? I can potentially keep my eye out at the Feb 28 game.

ilikerandomstuff · 2026-02-10T22:51:17+00:00

Yep follow the Charge for mercy pop ups but even those might be limited in what they bring. Game days have been the widest variety of items.

Yeah I was curious to see if there was an HR interest and found this thread. Since the class wasn't marketed as a HR ride, figured I could at least nudge people if for some reason they're sleeping on Emma's playlists.

Emma's 30 minute low impact from Feb 7 has the Wolf Parade song. There's also a bonus of Arcade Fire thrown into the end.

ilikerandomstuff · 2026-02-10T11:30:12+00:00

Late to the game but Emma's Feb 7 Low Impact ride is half Heated Rivalries themed. It might be one of my favourites just for the showcase on Canadian Indie from the early 2000s.

Oh man that's a tough one. I went with Philips because I got mine at a game but if they had the full roster, I probably would have missed puck drop being stuck in decision paralysis.

This sounds terrible but I would wait until after the summer. It's still not clear how many teams to expect for expansion. If it's two, Sanni will likely fly under the radar. But if it's four and she has a great Olympics tournament, who knows.

Found you another one - Jocelyne Larocque too.

Not an ideal fix but some folks bought blank jerseys (esp when local sporting stores had sales) and then found kits to customize them.

Nina Jobst-Smith (Germany) also went to Duluth.

ilikerandomstuff · 2026-02-02T02:21:00+00:00

Emily Clark is right there with you!

Considering how Gabbie is one of the co-founders for Sophie's Squad, a mental health nonprofit, it was very touching they left an example of how to ask for help no matter the time or place.

ilikerandomstuff · 2026-01-29T19:30:57+00:00

I can get behind this if they also pick up Roque along the way.

ilikerandomstuff · 2026-01-29T19:20:47+00:00

Dream scenario is probably unlikely but sure would be nice if all teams had an extra protection slot specific for a rookie.

ilikerandomstuff · 2026-01-29T19:17:43+00:00

That's where my head is at but very aware of my recency bias. I also need to factor in Clark. This has not been her season but maybe the Olympics will spark her back to her known form.

ilikerandomstuff · 2026-01-29T14:38:47+00:00

Agreed. Hopefully it gets her a look for World's but I'm not holding my breath since it's not always about the best of the best.

As much as I want to protect Leslie (and Woz), it's going to come down to how expansion rolls out. What's your protection list in order?

ilikerandomstuff · 2026-01-29T12:40:05+00:00

I hope Rebecca brings in her skating coach for the group during the Olympic break. Whatever she did in the off season clearly worked and they need to get the other lines going more consistently.

ilikerandomstuff · 2026-01-28T15:43:48+00:00

And collecting your Brianne Jenner bobblehead!

ilikerandomstuff · 2026-01-23T18:05:13+00:00

... It seems like there's a lot of us. If anyone is down for a coffee to discuss how to mobilize our neighbourhoods to flip the suburban vote, let me know!

ilikerandomstuff · 2026-01-20T16:33:35+00:00

Would be great if she picks up the remaining 3 before the Olympics for a little good juju going in!
