In looking to the future McLean would
like to see member growth but most importantly to keep the club moving forward so
that the Ottawa Gaels can be sustained into
the future.

increase. We want to have teams at every
youth level from U8 all the way to U18s and
have men’s and women’s junior and senior

and the youth levels that feeds into the senior.
It’s all about sustainability and so I’d like us
to keep doing what we have been doing.”
