University of Guelph Athletics

Robbie is coming off an impressive weekend in which he helped lead the Gryphons men’s hockey team to a pair of wins to keep them in the hunt for a playoff spot in the OUA’s West Division.  On Friday night against Brock, he assisted on the game-winning goal in the third period to ensure the crowd of over 3,000 left in a good mood at the Gryphon Winter Homecoming game (The Frosty Mug).  On Saturday, it was off to his hometown of Toronto for a matchup with the York Lions.  Trailing 2-1 in the second period, De Fulviis tied the game up on the power play with his sixth goal of the season then later in that same period, scored his second goal of the game and seventh of the campaign to give the Gryphons a 3-2 lead.  Both goals were nearly identical as De Fulviis, who shoots right, set up on the left side and fired home a pair of one-timers.  Guelph would go on to win 4-3, extending their overall win streak to three games.  The Gryphons (7-11-3) have gone 4-1 in 2015 and are currently tied with Toronto for the final playoff spot with 17 points on the season.  Prior to joining the University of Guelph, the second year Landscape Architecture major played with the Rimouski Oceanic in 2011-2012, helping them reach the QMJHL Final.
