“I’ve been watching Ryerson, and this is a moment of great momentum for the university,” said Al Kavanagh, retired founder, president and director of GolfNorth Properties. “We are excited to see the promise here in both the students and the teams. There’s terrific opportunity to build new connections for the hockey program, and attract new talent and fans.”
The university’s proud athletic tradition dates back to the 1940s, and the gift comes at a moment when Rams teams are enjoying some of their strongest successes ever. The Kavanagh family gift follows the appointment of Johnny Duco as the new head coach of the men’s hockey team. Last year, with Duco in the interim position, the Rams finished number one in the regular season of the OUA conference.

DMZ in NYC: Open for business
North America’s top tech incubator has expanded across the border: the DMZ at Ryerson University has opened a new office in New York City. Located in the heart of the financial district overlooking Battery Park, the office gives emerging entrepreneurs easier access to the global market, and a place to network with NYC-based tech, corporate and academic leaders. The 35,000-square-foot space, which opened June 13, 2017, includes private offices, co-working zones, a fitness studio and a lounge area, and also hosts monthly events for peers and mentors.
