In fact, the remaining 22 skaters on the team have a combined seven extra-man tallies. PLAYING TO THE FINAL WHISTLE 4One trait of the Griffs under coach Dave Smith is to play to the final whistle and a full 60 minutes. 4Canisius netted a pair of extra-attacker goals in the 3-3 draw against Air Force on Oct. 29. It marked the third time since the 2008-09 season that the Griffs sent a game into overtime with two extra-attacker tallies. 4Overall, Canisius has netted 10 extra-attacker goals in seven games since the start of the 2006-07 season to send a contest into the extra session with a 2-1-4 resulting record. 4The Griffs have not allowed an extra-attacker score since Nov. 19, 2005 against Connecticut. Canisius, however, won that contest in overtime. A FIRST FOR THE SENIOR DUO 4The two Canisius seniors – Dan Morrison and Scott Moser – have helped the Griffs accomplish a lot during their career. 4The two have helped Canisius to their first victories against a nationally-ranked, CCHA and ECAC schools but the one thing they hadn’t done prior to the season is defeat RIT. 4Morrison and Moser, however, ended that streak by leading Canisius to a 3-1 victory on Oct. 20. Morrison recorded 33 saves and Moser netted the game-winning goal with 5:27 remaining. 4Canisius was 0-8-0 against RIT since the beginning of the 2008-09 campaign prior to the win. MORRISON NAMED AHA GOALTENDER OF THE WEEK 4After anchoring the Canisius defense to a win against RIT, senior Dan Morrison was honored as Atlantic Hockey Goaltender of the Week. 4Morrison stopped 33-of-34 shots, while holding the Tigers off the scoreboard for the final 55:41 of the contest in the Oct. 20 victory. 4The weekly accolade is the fifth for Morrison during his career. IRON MAN 4One constant for Canisius is senior Scott Moser. 4Moser has appeared in every game for the Griffs during the past two-plus seasons and has played in the last 91 games overall. 4The last time a Canisius game did not feature Moser was a 4-3 loss to Connecticut on Feb. 21, 2009. Consecutive Games Played Streak Player (Years of Streak) Games 1. Billy Irish-Baker (2004-06) 114 2. Scott Moser (2009- ) 91 3. Spencer Churchill (2007-09) 90 4Moser’s streak of 91-straight games played is the second-longest in Canisius history. He will surpass the mark of 114 by Billy Irish-Baker if he plays every game this season. MOSER DOUBLES UP 4Senior Scott Moser will not only be competing for the Canisius hockey team this season, but the senior is also a member of the golf team while hockey is in the offseason. 4A team captain during the 2011-12 campaign, Moser has recorded three points, two goals and one assist in 11 contests after setting career highs with 21 points and nine goals last season.
CANISIUS (2-6-3, 2-1-2) AT AIC (3-8-2, 2-3-2) MOSER AND SHUPE NAMED TEAM CAPTAINS 4Senior Scott Moser and junior Preston Shupe are serving as team captains this season and are expected to lead a young Golden Griffin team during the 2011-12 campaign. 4It marks the first time since 2003-04 that two players are serving as captains for Canisius. 4Moser has recorded 52 points (18g, 34a) in 109 career games, while Shupe has posted 53 points (22g, 31a) in 80 career contests. REACHING INTO A NEW TERRITORY 4With the addition of freshman Carl Larsson this season, Canisius has extended its reach to a new recruiting ground. 4A native of Anderstorp, Sweden, Larsson is the first player outside of the United States or Canada to play for the Griffs. 4Larsson has appeared in nine games this season as a rookie, recording one assist. A NEW POSITION FOR McKELLAR 4With injuries mounting on the blue line for Canisius last season, the Griffs were forced to move Duncan McKellar from forward to defense. The team liked what it saw and McKellar is now moving to the position permanently. 4McKellar has appeared in two games this season on the blue line. GRIFFS PICKED NINTH IN PRESEASON POLL 4Canisius was slated to finish ninth in the annual preseason Atlantic Hockey coaches poll. 4Defending regular season champion RIT was picked to win the league, with postseason champion Air Force slated for second. 4Last season, the Griffs finished eighth in the regular season standings before advancing to the Atlantic Hockey Quarterfinals by defeating local rival Niagara, 6-3, in the first round. NEW FORMAT FOR ATLANTIC <strong>HOCKEY</strong> CHAMPIONSHIP 4The Atlantic Hockey Tournament will once again feature a new playoff format. 4For the 2012 league tournament, the top four seeds in the regular season standings will earn a bye in the first round, while 5-8 will host 9-12 in a best-of-three series. 4After reseeding for the quarterfinals, the top four teams will host another best-of-three series. 4The final four teams remaining will meet in Rochester to determine the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. GRIFFS PLAYING PROFESSIONALLY 4A number of recent graduates are continuing to play hockey at the professional level. 4A total of 12 Griffs who graduated the past two years — the first two recruiting classes for head coach Dave Smith — are playing at the professional level this year. CONACHER CONTINUES IMPRESSIVE PLAY IN AHL 4The highlight among Canisius graduates playing in the professional ranks is 2011 graduate and the program’s all-time leading scorer, Cory Conacher. The 2010 Atlantic Hockey Player of the Year is playing within the Tampa Bay Lightning organization with the AHL’s Norfolk Admirals. 4In 15 games through Nov. 22, Conacher has recorded 21 points, nine goals and 12 assists. He currently ranks third in the league in scoring and first among rookies. 4Conacher, who holds Canisius’ scoring records with 147 points and 62 goals, scored a goal in his first NHL preseason game this season, playing on a line with all-stars Martin St. Louis and Steven Stamkos.

The Griffin is a mythical creature of supposed gigantic size that has the head, forelegs and wings of an eagle and the hindquarters, tail and ears of a lion. They are well known for their speed, ability to fly and having eyes like an eagle as well as the strength and courage of a lion. Griffins have been known for centuries as symbols of strength and vigilance, have been called “The Hounds of Zeus” in Greek mythology and are said to have mastery of both the land and sky. They are thought to be from India, where the natives of the land made their talons and claws into drinking cups because the talon of a Griffin was said to detect poison in a liquid. Griffins would find gold in the mountains and line their nests with it and as a result, were forced to become great guardians of the nests to keep the hunters away.
