The Quinnipiac men’s hockey team defeated the Canisius Golden Griffins in a non-conference matchup Saturday, 7-1. Junior Jeremy Langlois (Tempe, Arizona) had a hat trick, along with an assist, while sophomore Connor Jones (Montrose, British Columbia) had 3 assists.

            

The Bobcats scored within the first two minutes of the first period, with a goal by sophomore Kellen Jones (Montrose, British Columbia). He was assisted by twin brother Connor, and junior Zach Davies (Smithers, British Columbia). Three minutes later, the Bobcats capitalized on a power-play, as junior defenseman Loren Barron (Glendora, California) recorded a goal to go up 2-0. Barron was assisted by Connor Jones, and sophomore John Dunbar (Calgary, Alberta).

            

Quinnipiac kept the offense rolling in the second period, with another display of early scoring. Senior Scott Zurevinski (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan) recorded the first goal of the period, with assistance from Langlois and sophomore Zach Tolkinen (Lino Lakes, Minnesota). Junior Ben Arnt (Oakdale, Minnesota) scored a couple minutes later, with assistance from junior Mike Dalhuisen (Nymegen, Holland).

           

With 12:42 left in the period, Canisius scored their only game of the evening, recorded by sophomore Kyle Gibbons, and assisted by freshman Mitch McCrank and sophomore Ryan Bohrer.

            

However, the Bobcats answered back with two more goals, both by Langlois. The first goal came with 7:32 left in the period, and was assisted by Zurevinski and Davies. The second goal came with 1:17 left, and was assisted by Connor Jones and freshman Matthew Peca (Petawawa, Ontario).

            

Langlois would seal the deal for the Bobcats with one more goal in the third period. With assistance from Peca once more, Langlois recorded the goal with 3:24 left in regulation.

            

Junior Eric Hartzell (White Bear Lake, Minnesota) saved 8 out of 9 shots in the game. In addition, senior Jake Whiting (Norfolk, Massachusetts), a walk-on after serving two years as the team’s manager, made his first appearance of the season, serving the last few minutes of the game.

            

With the win, the Bobcats are 3-1-0, while the Golden Griffins begin their season with a loss.

            

Quinnipiac plays Canisius at the TD Bank Sports Center again on Sunday, October 16, followed by another home game against Bentley on Tuesday, October 18.
