RPI Falls to Bentley
TROY, N.Y. — Bentley scored two power play goals, along with a shorthanded tally, and an even-strength goal as they defeated Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), 4-0, in the second of a two-game series at Houston Field House on Saturday evening. With the loss, the Engineers drop to 1-5-0 on the season, while Bentley improves to 3-2-0.
Canisius Swept Series Over AIC
West Springfield, Mass. – For the second-straight night, the Canisius College hockey team used a strong third period to earn a victory at AIC, completing the series sweep with a 4-2 win. The Griffs improve to 4-2-0 and 3-1-0 against Atlantic Hockey foes, while the Yellow Jackets drop to 0-4-1 and 0-3-1 in league play.
“Sweeps are hard in our league,” said Canisius head coach Dave Smith. “I’m happy with the four points as we played very well and with intensity, effort and focus from start to finish and the entire weekend. Cody Freeman stepped up and was the best player on the ice tonight. You could see how important the sweep was to him and the entire team this weekend.”
Senior Cody Freeman (Toronto, Ontario) matched his career high with three points, netting two goals to go along with one assist. Sophomore Shane Conacher (Burlington, Ontario) and freshman Nolan Sheeran (East Amherst, N.Y.) paced the Canisius attack with two assists apiece.
Junior Ralph Cuddemi (Concord, Ontario) and senior Tyler Wiseman (Burlington, Ontario)added goals for the Griffs in the win.
Freshman Reilly Turner (Temiscaming, Quebec) recorded 24 saves to earn a victory in his first collegiate start.
After a scoreless first period, both teams struck with a goal in the second frame. AIC opened the scoring when Jackson Dudley snuck one past Tuner short-side for the 1-0 lead with 15:01 remaining.
Canisius squared the game at one when Cuddemi netted his team-leading fourth goal of the season, connecting on the power play with 8:49 left in the second. Off a rush, Freeman fired a shot on net and Cuddemi was there to knock the rebound in. Conacher added an assist on the extra-man tally.
The Griffs then added three goals in final frame for the second-straight night with Freeman leading the charge with two tallies. The senior gave Canisius the lead for good with his second goal of the season, knocking in his own rebound just as a Griffs power play expired. Sheeran registered his first assist of the night on the goal 3:45 into the frame.
Freeman then extended the Canisius lead just 1:39 later, connecting on the team’s second power-play goal of the night. Off a rush, Conacher found the senior open on the back door and Freeman found the back of the net for the two-goal advantage. Sheeran added an assist as Canisius took a 3-1 lead with 14:36 left in regulation.
The Yellow Jackets pulled within one with 7:17 remaining in the game when Bryant Christian knocked in a rebound but the Canisius defense, behind Turner, closed the door from there. The Griffs sealed the victory when Wiseman netted an empty-net goal with 18.2 seconds left in the game – assist to senior Doug Beck (Plymouth, Mich.) – as Canisius earned the sweep and 4-2 win.
The Griffs finished the game with a 35-26 advantage in shots. Canisius was 2-for-6 on the power play, while killing both of the Yellow Jackets’ extra-man chances.
Canisius now can look ahead toward the opening of HARBORCENTER next weekend. The Griffs host Ohio State for two games, beginning on Friday at 7:35 p.m., at the school’s brand new rink in downtown Buffalo.
Game Notes: Canisius has scored 11-of-18 goals this season during the third period (61.1 percent) … The Griffs, who were a perfect 3-0-0 on Friday this season, won for the first time in three tries on Saturday … Turner is now 2-0-0 as a rookie after earning a win in his first collegiate appearance in relief … Canisius is 15-1-2 in its 18 games against AIC … Freeman now leads the Griffs with seven points this season (3g, 4a).
UNION SUFFERS FIRST LOSS IN 3-2 SETBACK TO ST. CLOUD STATE
SCHENECTADY, N.Y. – Union suffered a rare home loss and saw its NCAA-leading unbeaten streak snapped in a 3-2 loss to St. Cloud State before a sold out crowd of 2,391 at Messa Rink Saturday Night. The second-ranked Dutchmen (5-1) saw their unbeaten streak halted at 22 games and their home winning streak ended at 15 games, a pair of runs that dated back to last season.
For the second night in a row, St. Cloud (2-2) finished with a shot advantage (39-24) in forcing a weekend split of the non-conference series.
Brooks Bertsch’s goal at 8:18 of the third period – the only scoring in the period – proved to be the game-winner for the ninth-ranked Huskies. Union had battled back to tie the game at 2-2 with 14 seconds left in the second period after Mike Vecchione successfully converted on a penalty shot, the result of a crease violation penalty called on SCSU. The goal was Vecchione’s team-best fourth of the season, and extended his points streak to six games.
St. Cloud received goals from Andrew Prochno and Blake Winiecki 4:03 apart in the second period to take a 2-1 lead. The tallies were in response to Union’s first goal, scored by freshman Spencer Foo at18:41 of the first period.
Sophomore Alex Sakellaropoulos made 36 saves in his first start of the season.
Union opens ECAC Hockey play next weekend with a home-and-home series against Rensselaer, starting Friday in Troy.

Army, Robert Morris Close with Tie
HOCKEY EARNS DRAW AGAINST ROBERT MORRIS
Nick’s Tying Goal Was First of Career
WEST POINT, N.Y. – Ryan Nick chose a great time to score his first collegiate goal as he helped the Army hockey team earn a 3-3 tie against Robert Morris on Saturday night at Tate Rink.
Army (2-3-1, 2-3-1 AHA) battled all night long against the Colonials, who came into Saturday night’s game with an undefeated record. Maurice Alvarez, Josh Richards and Nick were the goal scorers for the Black Knights. Andy Faust assisted on Richards’ goal for his first point in an Army uniform. Parker Gahagen pushed aside 27 shots in the tie.
Robert Morris (4-0-1, 3-0-1 AHA) got all of its goal scoring from one player, Cody Wydo. The senior recorded a hat trick, while Linemate Zac Lynch finished with two assists. Terry Shafer was peppered throughout the night with Army earning a 40-30 shot advantage.
“The guys skated really hard tonight and had a great effort all the way through overtime,” head coach Brian Riley said. “RMU was a big challenge for us, but we have a lot of depth this year and it really showed with the effort from all our guys. Even though we were down a goal, we kept pressing and getting shots on the net.”
Robert Morris took the early lead with Wydo scoring his fourth of the season. Linemate Zac Lynch interrupted an Army breakout in the neutral zone and connected with Wydo at the blueline. He took the puck into the Black Knight zone and beat Gahagen for the 1-0 with 11:36 remaining in the first period. Army did get the first power play of the game and Clint Carlisle had a golden chance. He tried to pick the top corner on the glove side of Shafer, but sailed it wide of the mark. Robert Morris had a 9-8 shot advantage in the first frame.
The second period was full of action with a combined four goals scored as the Colonials took a 3-2 lead going into the final frame.
Army fought back to tie the game twice during the period and the first goal came from Alvarez with a blast from the point. Nick DeCenzo carefully drew the defense down between the circles and slid a pass to Alvarez for the one-timer, which was his second of the season.
Robert Morris regained the lead with Wydo scoring his second of the night, going coast-to-coast to give the Colonials a 2-1 advantage. The Black Knights, however, didn’t go away with Richards firing a wrister from just outside the face-off circle. The shot found its way through traffic to tie the game at 2-2. Andy Faust won the draw back to Richards and he wasted no time putting it on net.
Wydo struck again to earn the hat trick late in the middle stanza with a power play goal. The goal was probably not his prettiest score of the night. The shot was an odd angle shot that went past Gahagen to give the Colonials a 3-2 lead with two minutes left in the second period.
The Black Knights didn’t let Wydo’s third goal disrupt the momentum in the game as they came out on fire and finished with a 12-6 advantage in shots in the third. One of those shots came from Nick as he tallied the first goal of his career. He collected the puck in the neutral zone and skated into the slot. He fired a shot that looked to mix up Shafer and it hit the back of the net to send the crowd into a frenzy and send the game to overtime.
In the extra frame, Army continued to get chances with three in a row coming in the final two minutes, but Shafer was able to steer them wide of the net and the game ended in a 3-3 tie.
The Black Knights are back at Tate Rink on Halloween night as they wrap up a month-long homestand with Brown coming to West Point for a 7:50 p.m. face-off.

Seniors Kovacs, O’Neill and Ryan Captain Hobart
Hobart College Hockey Head Coach Mark Taylor recently announced that seniors Bronson Kovacs (Sault Ste Marie, Ontario), Terrence O’Neill (Kearny, N.J.) and Peter Ryan (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.)will serve as team captains, while juniors Mac Olson (Grosse Pointe, Mich.) and Ben Gamache (Longlac, Ontario) will be alternate captains for the 2014-15 season.
This year’s captains were announced to the team by Pierre McGuire ’83, a Hobart hockey alumnus and Emmy award-winning sports correspondent during a recent visit to campus.
“Over their careers here, all of these guys have distinguished themselves as leaders in the classroom, at practices, in games and especially in their pursuit of expectations for the success of this team,” said Taylor.
An alternate captain last season, Kovacs posted 14 points on six goals and eight assists. He ranked seventh in the ECAC West in defenseman scoring and was second on the team and tied for sixth in the conference with five power-play goals. Kovacs also finished the season tied for ninth in the league with 11 power-play points. He produced the game-winning goal in a 5-2 victory over Salve Regina.
Also an alternate captain in 2013-14, Terrence O’Neill saw time in 21 games last winter, posting three goals and 10 assists for 13 points. The All-ECAC West first team honoree ranked eighth in the league in defenseman scoring and was tied for sixth in the conference with two short-handed points. O’Neill registered the game-winning goal 56 seconds into overtime in a 3-2 victory at Elmira. He tallied three assists in a 5-1 victory over Manhattanville. O’Neill was selected the ECAC West Rookie of the Year in 2012.
Ryan, also a 2013-14 alternate captain, played in all 27 games last year. He chipped in two goals and two assists for four points. Ryan scored the Statesmen’s first goal in a 3-2 overtime win at Elmira, and the very next day, he assisted on the game-winning goal for a 5-4 overtime victory in Pine Valley. Ryan, Kovacs and O’Neill led the Hobart defensive unit that posted seven shutouts last winter. The Statesmen ranked second in the league in scoring defense (2.85 ga/gm) and first on the penalty kill (83.3%).
A forward and All-ECAC West second team selection, Olson led the Statesmen with 27 points and 15 goals, appearing in all 27 games last season. He also chipped in 12 assists and notched three game-winning goals, including the game winner nine seconds into overtime against then No. 7 Williams in the Buck Supply Winter Classic. Olson finished the season sharing the ECAC West lead in goals, tied for third in game-winning goals and short-handed goals (2), tied for sixth in short-handed points (2) and tied for seventh in points. He was tabbed the ECAC West Rookie of the Year in 2013.
Also a forward, Gamache ranked second on the team with 25 points on 10 goals and 15 assists. He garnered All-ECAC West honorable mention last year. Gamache led the Statesmen with seven power-play goals and added two game-winning goals. He capped the season ranked second in the ECAC West in power-play goals, third in power-play points (17), tied for third in short-handed points (3), tied for seventh in game-winning goals, tied for 11th in points, tied for 12th in assists, and tied for 13th in goals.
“I feel really fortunate this year to have a team that has a good number of individuals that are experienced and respected leaders, both those who wear letters now and those who may not,” said Taylor. “This was very evident in the off-ice training this fall. It was one of our best preseasons and I think that speaks volumes of the entire team and of the leadership within it.”
The Statesmen will begin the 2014-15 season on Friday, Oct. 31, when they travel to take on Brockport in a non-league game at 7 p.m.

Canisius Victorious
Three goals in the final 10 minutes of the third period led to a victory for the Canisius College hockey team against AIC on Friday night, 3-1. With the win, the Griffs improve to 3-2-0 on the season and 2-1-0 in Atlantic Hockey play, while the Yellow Jackets drop to 0-3-1 and 0-2-1 against league foes.
“It was well-played hockey game both ways,” said Canisius head coach Dave Smith. “We were able to get a timely power-play goal, some big saves and a huge 5-on-3 penalty kill with the game on the line. We showed excellent demeanor with intensity from start to finish in a hard-fought victory.”
Seniors Cody Freeman (Toronto, Ontario) and Matthew Grazen (Clarence, N.Y.) and sophomore Shane Conacher (Burlington, Ontario) all scored in the victory.
Senior Keegan Asmundson (Inver Grove Heights, Minn.) stopped 24 shots to earn the win in net.
Neither team scored during the first two periods of play but it wasn’t without chances. The Yellow Jackets seemingly grabbed the lead less than three minutes into the contest but after a review, the officials disallowed the goal due to goalie interference in the crease. Canisius then carried the better of the play of the second period and had a great chance to score with the goalie on the ice but the AIC netminder kicked his leg in the air to keep the puck out of the net.
Canisius finally tallied a goal when Conacher netted his second of the season, scoring on the power play with 9:34 remaining in regulation. Junior Ralph Cuddemi (Concord, Ontario)sent a pass through the slot and found his linemate open on the other side. Conacher then buried his chance for the 1-0 lead. Freshman Nolan Sheeran (East Amherst, N.Y.) also registered an assist on the extra-man tally.
The Griffs then wasted no time adding to their lead, scoring just 92 seconds later. On a rush, Freeman scored off a rebound from a Mike Sabatini (Grosse Pointe Woods, Mich.) shot for the 2-0 advantage. Freshman Jack Stander (Grosse Pointe Woods, Mich.) added an assist on the goal for his first collegiate point with 8:02 left in the third.
AIC cut the Canisius lead in half when Nathan Sliwinski scored right after the Yellow Jackets had a full two minutes of 5-on-3 power-play time, making the score 2-1 with 5:04 left in the contest.
Canisius, however, sealed the victory with 3:00 remaining. From the corner, senior Tyler Wiseman (Burlington, Ontario) found Grazen wide open in front of the net and the senior finished for his second goal of the season. Senior Braeden Rigney (Singhampton, Ontario)also posted an assist for the 3-1 final score.
The Griffs finished the game with a 35-26 advantage in shots on the night, including 16-8 edge in the third period. Canisius was 1-for-3 on the power play, while killing all three AIC extra-man chances.
The same two schools wrap up the series tomorrow night with game time set for 7:05 p.m.
Game Notes: Canisius has scored 14 goals this season with eight coming in the third period … The Griffs did not allow a power-play goal for the first time this season … The 35 shots are the most for Canisius this season.

Army Falls to Robert Morris
ROBERT MORRIS DOWNS BLACK KNIGHTS
Colonials Blank Black Knights
WEST POINT, N.Y. – After a scoreless first period, Robert Morris netted two goals in the second frame and downed the Army hockey team, 3-0, on Friday night at Tate Rink.
The Black Knights (2-3-0, 2-3-0 AHA) saw Parker Gahagen make 38 saves between the pipes to lead the way. Army had its chances on the power play with five opportunities, but couldn’t find the net.
The Colonials (5-0-0, 3-0-0 AHA) remained undefeated with Matt Cope tallying two points on a shorthanded goal and an assist, both coming in the second period. Dalton Izyk pushed aside 36 shots to earn the shutout, with 14 coming in the opening period.
“It was a 2-0 hockey game going into the third and we were still in a good spot,” head coach Brian Riley said. “Parker had been playing well for us, certainly you have to score at least one to give yourself a chance. I’ve got to give their guy in goal a lot of credit. He made some timely saves.”
The first period featured a lot of action without a goal being scored. The teams combined for 30 shots on goal and both netminders were able to keep the puck out of the net. Army had great puck movement on one of its power play opportunities, but couldn’t find an opening. Gahagen stood tall late in the frame recording back-to-back stops with Robert Morris knocking on the doorstep.
Robert Morris took the first lead of the game 1:40 into the second frame with a shorthanded goal from Cope. Army tried to keep the puck in the zone at the blueline and Cope blocked the re-entry bid. The puck went off the side boards and Cope sidestepped the Army defender. He skated in all alone against Gahagen and roofed it for the 1-0 advantage.
Mann gave the Colonials a 2-0 lead with 7:36 left in the middle period with his first of the season. He fired a shot that a defender blocked, but unfortunately for the Black Knights, the puck came right back to Mann. He wound up and sniped a shot from the outside and past Gahagen. Cope and Greg Gibson were given assists on the play.
Robert Morris added to its lead with 12:49 remaining in the game as Brady Ferguson scored his second of the season. Army was caught up ice and Zac Lynch spotted Ferguson at the blueline and he glided in alone on Gahagen and beat the netminder to close out the scoring at 3-0.
The two schools are back on the ice tomorrow night at Tate Rink for a 7:05 p.m. face-off.

Union Downs St. Cloud
Second-ranked Union is off to its best start in 24 season of Division I hockey after defeating ninth-ranked St. Cloud State, 5-1, before a sellout crowd of 2,295 at Messa Rink on Homecoming Weekend. The 5-0 Dutchmen also extended their school-record winning streak to 17 games, and their home winning streak to 15 games, both marks dating to last season.
Union wasted little time getting on the board, striking three times in the opening nine minutes to chase goaltender Charlie Lindgren. Michael Pontarelli scored a power play goal just 1 minute, 51 seconds into the contest, followed by defenseman Sebastien Gingras’ goal at the 4:07 mark. Mark Bennett added to the lead by throwing a shot on goal from along the blue line, that snuck inside the right post.
St. Cloud came back strong in the second period, outshoting Union by a 12-5 margin. The Dutchmen, however, built their lead to 4-0 on Sam Coatta’s goal at 6:52.
Max Novak struck for Union’s second power play goal late in the third period to seal the win. The Huskies, however, foiled Colin Steven’s shutout attempt by scoring with five seconds left in regulation, a rebound shot from Ben Storm in the slot.
Colgate Defeats Sacred Heart; Breaks Tie in Third
Fourth-ranked Colgate scored three times in the third period to break a 2-all tie and defeat Sacred Heart, 5-2, in collegiate men’s ice hockey action Friday at Milford Ice Pavilion
Sophomore Tim Harrison’s first collegiate tally proved to be the difference as his re-direction of a Spiro Goulakos slapshot at the 3:39 mark of the third period broke the 2-2 deadlock and allowed the Raiders to pull away from the upset-minded Pioneers.
Goulakos finished with three assists in the contest to lead a Colgate power play that finished the night 3-for-5 with the man advantage. Junior Kyle Baun also notched three points on a goal and two assists while Harrison finished with a goal and an assist.
Sophomore Charlie Finn recorded 20 saves in goal for Colgate to pick up his fourth win of the season.
Bottom Line
Colgate 5, Sacred Heart 2
Won-Lost Records
– Colgate improved to 4-1-0 on the season as it won its third straight contest.
– Playing its first non-conference game of the season, Sacred Heart slipped to 2-3 on the campaign.
How It Happened
– Junior Tyson Spink opened the scoring at the 3:52 mark of the first period, putting home a feed from Goulakos on the power play to give Colgate a 1-0 margin. Baun was credited with a secondary assist on the play.
– Sacred Heart notched the equalizer less than five minutes later. Zach Sabitini found a streaking Zach Luczyk behind the Raiders defense to send him on a breakaway. Luczyk made the most of the opportunity, putting his shot into the back of the net with 8:23 elapsed in the frame to knot the score at 1-1.
– Baun gave the Raiders a 2-1 lead early in the second period. Junior Mike Borkowski won a faceoff in the left circle to Baun, who took the puck to the net and put it home at the 5:14 mark of the frame for his team-leading fourth goal of the season.
– The Pioneers would once again draw level with the Raiders, this time using a wrist shot from Ben Lake in transition to make it a 2-2 contest. Alec Butcher drew an assist on Lake’s goal, which came at 13:33 of the second period.
– Harrison put the Raiders in front for good early in the third period, deflecting home a one-timer from Goulakos during a power play opportunity less than four minutes into the final frame to put the Raiders ahead, 3-2. Baun earned a secondary assist on Harrison’s tally.
– Senior John Lidgett staked Colgate to its first two-goal cushion of the evening when he snuck a shot under the cross bar from just below the right faceoff circle with 11:41 elapsed in the third to make it a 4-2 game. Goulakos picked up his third assist of the evening as the Raiders struck for their third power play goal of the contest.
– Freshman Evan Peterson closed out the scoring at the 18:02 mark of the third, recording an empty-net tally for his second goal of the season. Harrison and junior Ryan Johnston were credited with assists on the play.
Key Raider Information
– Baun has scored a goal in each of the last three contests. He also took over the team scoring lead with six points (4G/2A) thanks to his three-point output.
– Baun and Goulakos are the first two Colgate players to record three points in a game this season. Goulakos is also the first player with three assists in one game this year as he now leads the team with five assists.
– Harrision became the fourth different Colgate player to record a game-winning goal this season. All four game-winning goals this season have been scored by a player tallying the first game-winning goal of their respective careers (sophomore Derek Freeman and freshmen Evan Peterson and Mike Panowyk).
Inside The Box Score
– Colgate held a 28-22 shot advantage in the contest. The Raiders enjoyed a 9-1 margin in shots attempted in the third period.
– Baun led all players with five shots taken in the contest while Goulakos and Lidgett notched four shots apiece.
– Colgate posted a 39-26 margin in the faceoff circle. Borkowski was 17-of-28 and freshman Mike Panowyk was 12-of-15 to pace the Raiders at the dot.
– Colgate was 3-for-5 on power play while Sacred Heart was 0-for-3 with the man advantage.
Finn’s Shutout Streak Comes To An End
– With the goal by Sacred Heart’s Zach Luczyk at the 8:23 mark of the first period, Colgate sophomore goalie Charlie Finn’s shutout streak to a close.
– Finn had a not allowed a goal since the 15:02 of the third period of the Raiders contest against St. Cloud State on Oct. 11, a span of 133:21 that included back-to-back shutouts of Northeastern last weekend at Starr Rink.
Quotable
Colgate Head Coach Don Vaughan
(On game)
“We talk about it all the time. There are no easy games in college hockey and tonight was no exception. We’re a veteran club and we stuck to the task. We knew how we wanted to play against Sacred Heart. We stuck with it and got the result that we wanted.”
(On third period)
“It was our best period of the night. We made some adjustments and the guys use to the atmosphere and the facility. Our power play came to life. We moved it around well all night, but we were able to get some shots through in the third. At the end of the night, the power play proved to be the difference.”
(On power play)
“I thought we found seams really well tonight. Spiro (Goulakos) was able to get open in the middle and when he gets shots from the middle, good things happen. I was really happy that John Lidgett was able to get his goal in the third. Spiro found him through the seam and Lidgett didn’t miss, tucking it under the cross bar. It was a great goal and a huge goal for us tonight.”
Canisius Weekend Notes Oct. 22
Canisius (2-2-0, 1-1-0 AHA) at AIC (0-2-1, 0-1-1 AHA)
Dates: Friday, October 24 / Saturday, October 25
Times: 7:05 p.m. / 7:05 p.m.
Location: Springfield, Mass. | Olympia Ice Center
TV/Webcast: America One Network
Live Audio: GoGriffs.com
DI Series History: Canisius leads, 30-13-4
The Canisius College hockey team returns to action on Friday, starting a two-game series with Atlantic Hockey foe AIC. The schools are set to meet on Friday and Saturday at 7:05 p.m. in Massachusetts.
SCOUTING THE GRIFFS
• Canisius has split its first two series of the season, including one against Army last weekend in its first two Atlantic Hockey games.
• Six different players have recorded a team-best three points this season. Junior Ralph Cuddemi leads the squad with three goals.
• Senior Keegan Asmundson has started all four games in net with a 3.90 goals against average and .870 save percentage.
CUDDEMI NAMED AHA PLAYER OF THE WEEK
• After helping the Griffs to their first conference win of the season against Army on Friday, junior Ralph Cuddemi was named Atlantic Hockey Player of the Week.
• Cuddemi netted the 16th hat trick in the program’s history in a come-from-behind win against the Black Knights.
• The junior leads the Griffs in goals (3) and is tied for the team lead in points (3) and power-play goals (2).
POWERFUL THREATS
• Canisius enters the weekend with the nation’s 13th-ranked power-play unit and one reason why is due to multiple threats.
• Both senior Tyler Wiseman and junior Ralph Cuddemi have netted two extra-man tallies this season. Canisius is one of only four teams in the country with two players to have multiple power-play goals (Bowling Green, North Dakota and Ohio State are the others).
• Overall, the duo is tied for fourth nationally (and two of 18 players with two or more) power-play goals this season.
POWER PROTECTOR
• The Griffs aren’t only a threat to score when on the power play.
• In Friday’s rally, Shane Conacher and Matthew Grazen each netted short-handed goals. It marked just the sixth time in the program’s Division I history with multiple man-down tallies in a single game.
• The Griffs are one of five schools with at least two short-handed goals early in the 2014-15 campaign.
CANISIUS – AIC SERIES HISTORY
• In a series that dates back to 1992, the Griffs are 30-14-4 all-time against the Yellow Jackets, including a 30-13-4 edge in Division I meetings.
• Canisius has defeated AIC more than any other school at the Division I level.
• The Griffs have dominated the series as of late. Since the start of the 2008-09 season, Canisius is 13-1-2 against AIC. The Yellow Jackets, however, ended a 15-game winless streak in their most recent meeting, which was the longest for Canisius versus any single team in program history.
• Last season, the schools split a pair of games in Springfield with Canisius winning the opener, 4-1, before AIC earned a 4-3 win in the finale.
ABOUT THE YELLOW JACKETS
• AIC enters the weekend with a 0-2-1 record, including a 0-1-1 mark in Atlantic Hockey play.
• Johno May leads the Yellow Jackets with four points on a goal and three assists. Alexander MacMillan and David Gandara have each netted a team-best two goals.
• Hunter Leisner has started 2-of-3 games in net with a 5.05 goals against average and .881 save percentage. Alex Murray started one contest, stopping 53-of-55 shots in a 2-2 draw.
