The TMU Bold men's ice hockey team (formerly the Ryerson Rams) is an active ice hockey program representing the TMU Bold athletic department of Toronto Metropolitan University. The team has been active since 1948 and is currently a member of the Ontario University Athletics conference under the authority of U Sports. The Bold play at the Mattamy Home Ice in Toronto, Ontario.[2]

History

[edit]

The Ryerson Rams fielded their first ice hockey team shorty after the end of World War II, playing in the Toronto Hockey League's (THL) Clancy Intermediate League. The team played in various local leagues over the next several years, winning a few championships along the way, before joining their first college-only conference in 1958. Ryerson was a founding member of the Ontario Intermediate Athletic Association (OIAA) and won the inaugural league championship with an undefeated record. The Rams remained one of the better teams in the conference, finishing no worse than second in each of the succeeding four seasons. In 1963, the CIAU began holding a national tournament but decided not to invite the OIAA champion for the first championship. The OIAA then petitioned for entry into the second series. Midway through the 1963–64 season, the league was denied entry into the University Cup and the OIAA immediately dissolved with all league members cancelling their remaining schedule in protest. Over the summer, the CIAU reversed its decision and decided to include the OIAA. The league reformed for the following year with all members returning.

Unfortunately for Ryerson, this was the same time that the Rams had been supplanted by several other league members. Over the next several years, Ryerson was found most often near the bottom of the standings and produced only one winning season (1969). In 1971, there was a great realignment for conferences in Ontario and Quebec with all teams being sorted into two provincial leagues. The Rams remained one of the poorer teams until the mid-70s when the club made its first postseason appearance in more than a decade. A division title followed in 1977, however, the team was unable to find any postseason success at the time. By the end of the decade, Ryerson was back at the bottom of the standings and they remained there for much of the next 35 years. The best the Rams were capable of during this time was a mediocre season but all of that changed in 2016.

When Johnny Duco took over as interim head coach for the 2016–17, the Rams suddenly went from a middling program to a championship contender. In his first season behind the bench, the Rams won their first regular season title in 54 years.[3] It took several more years before the team was ready to achieve the same level of success in the postseason but, in 2022, the program made its first appearance in the national tournament. The school changed its name to Toronto Metropolitan University that very year, and the newly rechristened Bold swiftly followed up their long-awaited University Cup trip with a second in 2024.
