Mitchell Good scored the game winner to lift the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks to a 3-2 victory over the host Brock Badgers.

The first period play was very back and forth with the Hawks edging the Badgers in shots 14-10. Laurier's Ryan Bellows (St. Catharines, Ont.) extended his goal scoring streak to four games with a power-play marker at 18:26. The goal also increased his current point streak to eight games.

The Hawks Paul Bradley (Calgary) picked up an interference penalty early in the second, but after killing it off Laurier came back and Nathan Peacock scored to make it 2-0. The score would stand until the third period.

The Badgers finally got on the board at 5:13 when Vince Scott beat Ryan Daniels (Pickering, Ont.), ruining his shutout bid. Brock tied it up midway through the third with a goal from Josh Schram. Two minutes later Good (Wellesley, Ont.) scored the game winner off a nice pass from Chad Kennedy (Mississauga, Ont.).

Daniels earned his fourth win of the season, stopping 28 of 30 shots on net, while his counterpart Mark Yetman turned aside 31 of 34 for the loss.

Laurier was able to capitalize on one of three power play opportunities while Brock was unable to score in three chances.

MCGILL 7, NIPISSING 2

At Nipissing, Marc-André Daneau, a sophomore forward from Aston Jonction, Que., scored twice, including the game-winner, as No-5 ranked McGill Redmen sunk the Lakers 7-2 in OUA men's hockey before 1,795 at the Memorial Gardens in North Bay, Ont., Friday.

It was the seventh straight loss for Nipissing, an expansion team in the OUA with a 6-8-1 record, and the fourth straight victory for McGill, which improved to 10-1.

The Redmen led 3-0 after one period and 3-1 after two. They outshot the teetering Lakers 46-25, including a 17-8 edge in the final frame.

QUEEN'S 8, OTTAWA 6

At Queen's, team captain Jonathon Lawrance of Steinbach, Man., had a goal and four assists as the Gaels snapped a two-game losing streak with an 8-6 win over the Ottawa Gee Gees on Friday night.

The win evens the Gaels record at 6-6-1 while the Gee Gees fall to 4-10-1.

Queen's game out of the gates flying, taking advantage of a tired Ottawa team that lost 15-4 on Tuesday night. The Gaels scored four times before the Gee Gees found the back of the net and took a 4-1 lead into the second.

After the Gaels took a 5-1 lead early in the second period thanks to David Chubb's (St. George's, Nfld.) second of the game, Ottawa came storming back and managed to tie the game early in the third. Shorthanded goals by Taurean White and Mattieu Germain 49 seconds apart evened the score at five.

With momentum swinging to the Gee Gees, Queen's took a timeout which seemed to jumpstart the team. Joey Derochie of Sudbury, Ont., restored the Gaels lead just 45 seconds after the second Gee Gees shorthanded marker. Lawrance and Jeffrey Johnstone of Etobicoke, Ont., would follow with goals of their own to secure the win.

Seven Gaels would record multiple point games against Ottawa, highlighted by Lawrance's five-point effort.

LAKEHEAD 3, GUELPH 1

At Guelph, the Gryphons saw their four-game winning streak snapped after a 3-1 loss to the Lakehead Thunderwolves on Friday night.

Lakehead took a commanding three-goal lead in the first period that the Gryphons weren’t able to overcome.

Thomas Kiriakou (Richmond Hill, Ont.) picked up the lone Gryphon goal while Ed Gale (Keswick, Ont.) and Derek Knowles (Vanderhoof, B.C.) tallied the assists.

Matt Smith (Waterloo, Ont.) would get the start for the Gryphons but would be replaced by Scott Van Bommel (Norwich, Ont.) in the second period after allowing three goals on nine shots.

Lakehead controlled the first period netting three unanswered goals on nine shots. With a number of penalties putting pressure on the Gryphons’ defence, Lakehead was able to put their third goal in on the weakened Guelph squad.

The Gryphons came out much stronger in the second after making a goalie change. Van Bommel was tested early in the second, putting a huge glove save on a hard shot from streaking Lakehead forward Dan Speer. Van Bommel would get some more help from his glove at the end of the period on a Lakehead breakaway to keep the Thunderwolves from scoring in the second.

Guelph finally got on the board late in the period after a scrum following the whistle and another roughing penalty moments later, left the Gryphons on the power play. A hard shot resulted in the puck squeaking loose in front of the net where Kiriakou was sitting, quickly putting his blade on the rolling puck, he was able to find the back of the net. The late score would make it 3-1 at the end of the second period.

Guelph turned it on again in the third getting a number of solid chances in the Lakehead zone. The Gryphons, however, were unable to find the back of the net in the final period, leaving the score at 3-1 to end the game.

Van Bommel played a key role for the Gryphons, stopping all 14 shots faced including a Lakehead breakaway in the third that had everyone on the edge of their seats. Van Bommel got caught on the deke but dove back across the net with outstretched arms to stop the wide-open chance on the goal line.
