Bio

Boston Pizza RDP Athlete of the Week for February 3, 2025

Tora Ward (Bachelor of Education) was outstanding in the Queens’ net against the NAIT Ooks Friday evening. Despite being outshot 42-20, Ward (0.976) and the Queens earned an important 2-1 home victory. Ward was instrumental in the RDP Queens killing off all nine of NAIT’s power play opportunities, helping her team maintain its top ranking on the penalty kill (93.9 per cent).

In the third period, the Ooks fired a game-high 15 shots at Ward, but they only managed to get one by the talented second-year netminder. Saskatoon’s Ward was recognized as the North Star Sports Queens Player of the Game. Ward sits fifth in the league with a 2.41 goals against average.

Next, Ward and the third seed RDP Queens (12W-6L-1 OTL-0 SOL) will face-off against the fourth place SAIT Trojans (5W-10L-2 OTL-2 SOL).

Congratulations!

 

RDP Athlete of the Week for October 10, 2023

It was quite an impressive start for goaltender Tora Ward to her Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) career as she earned her first shutout and win in her first ACAC start which led to her first Queens Athlete of the Week honour. A lot of firsts for Ward in her opening week of action.

Head Coach Kelly Coulter and the rest of the coaching staff recruited her from the Saskatoon Stars program in Saskatchewan where she posted a .901 save percentage, a 2.55 goals-against-average and had three shutouts in 31 games started over two seasons.

In the one month of pre-season, Coulter explained Ward worked tremendously hard and does everything right as a goaltender. She communicates well with her defensive pairings and is a very good puck-handling goaltender. Leading up to the opening game against the Olds College Broncos, the coaching staff wanted to give her a taste of college hockey right away, so she was given the opportunity to open up the Queens season as the starting goaltender. Ward did not disappoint the coaches as she stopped all 24 shots she faced in Olds and earned herself a shutout.

A couple of fun facts about Ward is that she is an avid golfer on top of playing hockey and the Saskatoon goaltender is also fluent in French.

Ward and the Queens will be in action this weekend as they take on the Lakeland College Rustlers in a home-and-home series that starts in Lloydminster on Friday night.

Congratulations Tora on the milestones of your first shutout and win. Looking forward to cheering you and the Queens on as the season continues!
