History

Shelley Coolidge became head coach of the program in the spring of 2003. During the 2003–04 campaign, she guided the Gee-Gees to the CIS national championship game where they were defeated by the Alberta Pandas. In 2006–07 she guided the Gee-Gees to a 12–6–0 record, the best in program history.

On January 16, 2008, the Gee Gees hosted a game at Scotiabank Place in Ottawa, as the Gee-Gees played the Carleton Ravens.[2] In 2008, the Gee-Gees hosted the CIS national tournament and finished with a 1–2 record in the tourney. Their only win came in a shoot-out victory over St. Francis Xavier, where the Gee-Gees prevailed by a 7–6 tally. Heading into the 2008–09 season, goaltender Jessika Audet was the oldest varsity student-athlete at uOttawa.

In her first appearance for the Ottawa Gee-Gees, Fannie Desforges scored a goal versus the York Lions in an exhibition game on September 20, 2008 as she scored a goal in a 4–0 shutout victory. In her first ever regular season game (contested on October 18, 2008), she scored her first CIS goal in a victory over the Concordia Stingers.[3]
