Unmasking the Athlete
In the Season 2 finale of Unmasking The Athlete, host Aaron Gazzola is joined by co-creator Russel Kelly for the final episode of the season, spotlighting one of Western University's most accomplished programs, the 2023-2024 National Champion Western Mustangs Women's Ringette team. The episode features conversations with veteran forward Lauren Lindsay, assistant captain and defensive leader Avery Cairns, and assistant captain Kaela Snethun, as they reflect on their ringette journeys, leadership roles, and the balance between varsity athletics and academics. The athletes also discuss team culture, mental health, championship experiences, and life beyond Western, before closing the season with a competitive athletic challenge that captures the personality and unity behind the program.
