Battling it out: Gryphons dominate division rivals, York Lions, 6-2

Men’s hockey team continues to pull away from the pack in the OUA West

On Thursday, Feb. 8 the Gryphons played an astonishing game against the York Lions. The game began by honouring the Gryphons graduating this semester in a pre-game ceremony, and then quickly jumped into the action.

Right from the start, the Gryphons went on the attack and took the Lions by surprise, scoring four unanswered goals in the first period. Todd Winder, second year forward, scored two of the four only two minutes apart from each other.

The Lions managed to score once in the second period, only to have two more goals scored on them before the end of the second.

With too little, too late, the Lions managed to score once more on the Gryphons, bringing the score at the end of regulation to 6-2.

The Gryphons currently sit at the top of the OUA West with 43 points; 8 points ahead of second and third place holders York and Laurier.
