Atlantic Hockey Showdown: Canisius shuts out Mercyhurst on senior night


Credit USCHO.com
On Thursday, night the Canisius Golden Griffins laid an absolute beat down on the Mercyhurst Lakers, which was also their last home game of the season as well as their senior night. Canisius scored early in the game and never looked back, Sophomore Defenseman Alex Jaeckle scored at 4:17 of the first period. This started off a torrid three goal first period for the Griffins which would eventually chase Lakers goaltender Brandon Wildung from the net going into the second period. Jaeckle’s game winner was his third goal as well as his third game-winning goal of the season. Senior goaltender Charles Williams set school records in wins with 19 and shutouts with 5 and the Griffins extended their unbeaten streak to 15 games, the longest active unbeaten streak in the entire nation. Canisius wraps up the season with a record of 21-11-7 and is guaranteed a first round bye heading into the Atlantic Hockey Tournament. Mercyhurst drops to a record of 15-17-4 and will be back in action for their final home game and senior night this Saturday against Rochester Institute of Technology. The Lakers are most likely going to finish below the fifth seed in the conference and thus must get a win on Saturday to better their chances of a first-round home playoff series.

London (6-4-0 last 10 games) is in the middle of a two game losing streak, but that does not take away from their stellar regular season that has them clinching a playoff spot over a month before the season ends. Ottawa (2-7-1 last 10 games) is in the middle of a 6 game losing streak and is in danger of missing out on the playoffs baring a huge end of season push.

NCAA Finals: Denver Wins National Championship

Credit NCAA.com Frozen Four Harvard (1) Vs. Minnesota Duluth (2)  The University of Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs defeated the Harvard Crimson 2-1 in the first of two semifinals at the United Center in Chicago. Harvard led the play early with quick passing in the offensive zone. Tyler Moy scored Harvard only goal at 15 minutes of the first period, entering the zone and firing it over the shoulder of Minnesota's goaltender. This would be the last impressive change they would have as the Bulldog's would continue to bully the Crimson and would score the final two goals to win the game. Minnesota will await their final team to play in the championship on Saturday night. Denver(6) Vs.
