From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ontario University Athletics (OUA) came into being in 1997 with the merger of the Ontario Universities Athletics Association and the Ontario Women's Intercollegiate Athletics Association . This is similar to what would be called a college athletic conference in the United States .
Notable games
On February 11, 2000, the Ontario University Athletics women's ice hockey program saw its longest game take place. The University of Toronto 's Rhonda Mitchell scored on a 35-foot slap shot. It was the 5:07 mark of the eighth period and the Varsity Blues defeated York University. Although the victory allowed the U of T to advance to the OUA gold medal game, it was the longest in the history of Canadian women's hockey.[ 1] The game lasted over five hours and ten minutes. York's player of the game was goaltender Debra Ferguson,[ 2] as she valiantly made 63 saves over 125 minutes.
On March 3, 2011, a postseason match between the Queen's Golden Gaels and the Guelph Gryphons became the longest collegiate hockey game, male or female, Canadian or American — on record. The match began on Wednesday and it only ended on Thursday. The duration of the match was 167 minutes and 14 seconds when Queen's forward Morgan McHaffie placed a rebound past Gryphons goalie Danielle Skoufranis.[ 3]
