Since the start of the 2008-09 season, Canisius is 9-0-1 against AIC – including a two-game sweep last year. 4The 10-game unbeaten streak for the Griffs is the longest versus any single team in the program’s Division I history. ABOUT THE YELLOW JACKETS 4AIC is currently 3-8-2 on the season with a 2-3-2 record in Atlantic Hockey play. 4The Yellow Jackets earned a 3-0 victory at Brown on Tuesday after posting ties in back-to-back league games. 4Steve Mele and Jon Puskar lead the Yellow Jackets with 10 points this season. Mele has also scored a team-best six goals, while Puskar is tied for the team lead with seven assists. 4Junior Ben Meisner has started 12-of-13 games in net, posting a 2.72 goals against average and .927 save percentage. A SHORT-HANDED THREAT 4Junior Torrey Lindsay has proved he is dangerous on the penalty kill this season. 4The junior has netted a short-handed goal in draws at Air Force and Niagara is one of five players nationally with two man-down goals this season. 4Lindsay is currently tied for second on the team with three goals this season, matching his career-high total. He also ranks third on the squad with five points. POWER OUTAGE 4Unfortunately for the Griffs, Torrey Lindsay’s two short-handed goals this season is just one fewer than Canisius’ power-play output. 4Canisius has converted just 3-of-39 power-play chances this season. The team’s 7.7 percent conversion rate ranks 55th nationally (of 58 teams) and 11th in Atlantic Hockey. 4The Griffs did show signs of improvement in Sunday’s contest against Lake Superior State, going 1-for-3 with the extra man against the nation’s seventh-ranked penalty kill unit.

CANISIUS (2-6-3, 2-1-2) AT AIC (3-8-2, 2-3-2) YOUTH MOVEMENT 4There is a new look to the Griffs this season with the addition of 12 players to the 2011-12 roster. 4The 12 freshmen are tied for the most in the country this season with Mercyhurst and Ohio State. 4Overall, Canisius has only two seniors and six upperclassmen to go along with 20 underclassmen. THE LOST BOYS 4The need for such a large freshmen class is due to the loss of a successful 2011 senior class. 4Canisius lost 12 letterwinners from the 2010-11 squad who accounted for 53.6 percent of the team’s goals and 51.7 percent of its points — including the top two scorers in the program’s history in Cory Conacher (147 career points) and Vincent Scarsella (133 points). ADDING SIZE 4One noticeable aspect of the incoming freshman class is size. 4The 12 newcomers have an average height of nearly 6-2. 4A small team in the past few seasons, Canisius added two inches in its average size to its roster this year. The average Griff is now 6-1, compared to 5-11 last season. 4Only eight (of 26) Griffs are shorter than 6 feet in 2011-12, compared to 14-of-26 last season. TIMELY FIRST GOALS 4Doug Beck, Mitch McCrank and Matthew Grazen are the first three freshman to score goals this season and they couldn’t have picked a better time to do so. 4Beck netted his first collegiate score – an extra-attacker tally – with 6.0 seconds left in a 3-3 draw at Air Force on Oct. 29. Grazen also scored in a tie, netting his first goal against No. 12 Lake Superior State on Nov. 19. 4McCrank netted his first career goal – the game-winning third-period score – in a 3-1 win versus Bentley on Nov. 6. MORRISON SAVES THE DAY 4One unit where the Griffs return a lot of experience is at the crucial goaltender position in senior Dan Morrison. 4Morrison has totaled 2,475 saves during his career and is easily on pace to set the program’s standard. 4The senior is just 296 saves shy of the mark set by Bryan Worosz from 2001 to 2005. Career Saves Record 4Last season, Morrison accumulated a school-record 993 saves, 103 more than the previous record held by Worosz (2002-03). LOW ON CHANCES 4Canisius has needed their goalies to be strong as the offense has not put up big numbers. 4Canisius currently ranks 56th nationally and last in Atlantic Hockey with 1.55 goals per game. 4One reason for the low scoring output is because of how few shots the Griffs are getting on goal. 4Canisius is averaging 21.5 shots per game, the second-fewest in the country. Alabama-Huntsville is last with 20.4, while Sacred Heart has the second-lowest total in Atlantic Hockey with 23.2. 4Twice this season, Canisius has been held under 10 shots in a game – a first in school history. SOPHOMORES BUILDING ON ROOKIE CAMPAIGNS 4With more than half of the team’s offensive production lost to graduation from last season, the Griffs needed Scoring By Class the sophomore class to take the next step and build on their strong rookie seasons. 4Through 11 games, the class has responded. 4The six Canisius sophomore skaters who have seen action this season currently account for 48 percent of the team’s points , 41 percent of its goals and 52 percent of its assists. Career Saves Saves 1. Bryan Worosz (2001-05) 2,771 2. Dan Morrison (2008- ) 2,475 3. Andrew Loewen (2006-10) 2,463 Goals Assists Points Freshmen (12) 3 (18%) 7 (24%) 10 (22%) Sophomores (8) 7 (41%) 15 (52%) 22 (48%) Juniors (4) 5 (29%) 6 (21%) 11 (24%) Seniors (2) 2 (12%) 1 (3%) 3 (7%) 4Sophomore Kyle Gibbons leads the Griffs with eight points and five assists, while classmate Taylor Law owns the team lead with four goals. SOPHOMORES ALSO CONTRIBUTING DEFENSIVELY 4The Canisius sophomore class is not only leading the way on the offensive end, but the class also has contributed defensively. 4Canisius’ eight sophomores own a combined plus/minus rating of +8 this year. The rest of the Griffs are -39 on the season. No single sophomore currently owns a negative plus/minus rating. A DEFENSIVE LEADER IN DANFORD 4Sophomore defender Ben Danford is the anchor of the team’s blue line and looks to follow up a strong rookie season from last year. 4In 38 games as a freshman, Danford set the program’s mark for assists by a blueliner (24) and points by a rookie defender (26). 4In 11 games this season, Danford has recorded four assists, including a season-best two helpers in his most recent contest against No. 12 Lake Superior State.
