GUELPH, Ont. – On Friday night (Nov. 3) at the Gryphon Centre Arena, the Guelph Gryphons men's hockey team continued their fine form on home ice, picking up a 3-2 win over the Ontario Tech Ridgebacks. Gryphons third-year forward,
Jacob Winterton (Whitby, ON), helped lead the way for the Gryphons with a pair of goals on the night, his second of which came midway through the 2nd period to put Guelph up 3-1. Ontario Tech would get one back late in the 3rd period to make it 3-2, but the Gryphons would hold on from there to improve to 4-4-0 on the season. Winterton's two goals on the night gives him five on the season through eight regular season games, tying him for the team-lead with teammate
Jonah De Simone, who also found the back of the net on Friday net versus the Ridgebacks, with De Simone's 5th goal of the season giving Guelph a 2-1 lead over Ontario Tech in the 1st period. Gryphon forward
Anthony Tabak, who last season was named to the OUA All-Rookie Team, continued his strong start to his sophomore season, with the former member of the Barrie Colts picking up a pair of assists in Guelph's win over the Ridgebacks on Friday night.
