Dawn basketball ritual at Ottawa OU warms early mornings
In Ottawa, OU regulars gather for nearly a decade at 6 am in the Commons gym for dawn basketball. Led by Gary Jordan, the loosely organized group draws about 10 core players aged 28 to 59, with as many as 17 or 18 showing up at times. Players value the wakeful start, fitness, and flexible rules.
