  • Welcome to the “Barbara Ann Scott: Come Skate with Me” Exhibit Podcast Presented by the City of Ottawa Archives
    Welcome to the “Barbara Ann Scott: Come Skate with me” exhibit podcast presented by the city of Ottawa archives. In the podcast, City Archivist Paul Henry interviews Barbara Ann Scott at her home in Florida, and Educational Programming Officer Olga Zeale interviews Paul Henry and Elizabeth Manley in Ottawa. PH: My name is Paul Henry, I am City Archivist for the City of Ottawa. OZ: Why was it important for the City of Ottawa Archives to acquire Barbara Ann Scott’s collection? PH: Uh, well the mandate of the City of Ottawa Archives is to document the corporation of the City of Ottawa as well as serve as a repository for records that would otherwise be lost to history; records that in particular tell the story of the individual contributions of notable citizens, organizations, businesses, community organizations, that have contributed to the fabric of Ottawa and which tell, essentially, the story of the gap between what the City does and what our known history of an area is. So, the private records really flush out and make interesting a story of Ottawa beyond its role as a nation‟s capital. The Barbara Ann Scott collection fulfills that in many ways. Barbara is our most decorated citizen, our most decorated Olympic athlete, and if you think back to those days in „47 and „48 when we had, and gave Barbara the key to the city and had events and parades in her honour. The number of people that came out in those days to celebrate her accomplishments was certainly something, and in many ways, the city, in some way belongs to Barbara.

  • 2018-19 REGULAR SEASON RECAP: CHAPTER 3 for a Seventh
    2018-19 REGULAR SEASON RECAP: CHAPTER 3 For a seventh straight year, at least five teams made the playoffs after missing the previous postseason, setting up a 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs bracket that features six teams in pursuit of their first championship and only three clubs that have won in the past dozen years (Pittsburgh: 3, Washington: 1 and Boston: 1). * The 2019 bracket features more teams in search of their first Cup (6) than teams that have won it multiple times (5). * The Capitals aim to join the rival Penguins (2016 and 2017) as the only clubs in the past 20 years to repeat as Stanley Cup champions. * A common theme for each team over the past five years has been long series, with Pittsburgh requiring at least six games 10 times (13 series) and Washington 9 times (10 series). * Overall, 71% of all series have extended to six or seven games since the division-focused format was introduced in 2014 (53 of 75) – up 13% compared to the previous five postseasons (2009-2013: 63%, 47 of 75). * Since the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs, 80% of series in rounds 2-4 have been decided in either Game 6 or Game 7 (28 of 35) – by far the highest such percentage of any previous five-year segment. In comparison, the five-year period from 2009-2013 saw only 54% of series last at least six games. * Washington is the leader of late specifically regarding Game 7s, contesting more over the past 11 years than 15 active NHL franchises have played in their history.
