Therapists 'damn important' to players

"For 60 minutes, the men on Ryerson’s varsity hockey team battle with sticks and bodies, carving their way from zone to zone up and down the ice. While their hard work often causes scoring opportunities, it always hurts. That’s where Leslie Dias and Sarah Goold come in. They’re the members of the team who dress every game but record no ice time, goals or assists.
 
...

“We have a lot of exams, two for each course because we have a practical component and written.” Goold said. In December, both therapists were subjected to eight exams for four courses in six days. Along with their examinations, they are under continual assessment from coaching staff and head athletic therapist Jerome Camacho, who sees all student therapists weekly.
 
Along with Dias and Goold, Ryerson has also accepted Adrian Wellman (men’s soccer and volleyball), Mary Lalancette (women’s soccer and volleyball), Brittany Mclean (women’s basketball) and Michelle Bell (men’s basketball) from Sheridan this year.
 
Playing on the Rams is tough. Taking care of the team is sometimes tougher."
