The University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) will have a familiar face behind the bench of the women’s hockey team next season.

Justin Caruana has been promoted to the head coaching position of the Ridgebacks women’s team after spending last season as associate head coach with the Ridgebacks men’s hockey team. Caruana was a member of the 2005-2006 Ontario Hockey League champion Peterborough Petes.

The 2014-2015 Ridgebacks women’s team finished with a 7-15-2 regular season record and missed out on qualifying for the playoffs.
