What is a Ridgeback?
ridge•back /’rijbak/
noun
South African hunting dog. Versatile hunter and home guardian. Smart, sometimes stubborn.
A Ridgeback embodies our university’s identity. It’s also our faithful mascot that represents over 250 varsity student-athletes, and intramural and extramural teams.
Varsity athletics
At Ontario Tech we strive to deliver first-class varsity programs that contend annually in the OUA and U SPORTS. The athlete experience is our core business, which drives our commitment of building a sense of pride and tradition on campus that our student athletes can be proud to be a part of. Students interested in Varsity athletics are encouraged to reach out to coaches through the athletics website.
