Novice AA Open Tri County Playdowns With Shutout Victory
After being eliminated from the OMHA playdowns one day earlier, the Novice AA Gryphons travelled to Halton Hills Monday night to take on the Thunder in their first game of the Tri-County playoffs.

After a slow start to the game, the Gryphons found their legs in the second period and capitalized on some hard work in the Thunder zone to take a 1-0 lead. Matthew Stam was in the right spot at the right time and found the back of the net on the rebound off the opposition’s goalie. Landon Mitchell assisted. The Gryph’s held the Thunder to zero shots on net in the second period thanks to some great defensive play by the Gryphons rear guards.

Tanner Bothwell then potted the insurance marker with just under 7 minutes to play in the third period, again on a rebound scramble in front of the net, off a shot from Nathan Briggs to make the score 2-0 for the Gryphons. The Gryphons held off some late pressure by the determined Thunder squad in the final minutes of the third period to preserve the shut-out for goalie Alessandro Gruosso.

Final score 2-0.

The Gryph’s next game is scheduled for Saturday afternoon against the Flamborough Sabres.

Quinton Steel
Rick Gajewski arrived in Canada on June 22, 1965, with his technical background and twenty years experience in the fabrication trade in England as a boilermaker plater. After four years in Canada as the plant superintendent at Warner Swasey, he founded Quinton Steel (Wellington) Limited in 1968. The phrase J.I.T. manufacturing was not commonly used when Rick Gajewski started to buy all the steel for jobs cut to size for work in progress. Most of Quinton Steel's competitors were carrying large inventories and cutting their own steel to size. As the company grew, Quinton Steel's buying power increased, keeping the company's prices competitive in the growing market. In 1974, Quinton Steel moved into its current facility, a plant designed by Rick Gajewski, for the sole purpose of manufacturing large steel fabrications. In 1978, Rick's son, Stefan, joined Quinton Steel working in the plant. Using his engineering background from the University of Western Ontario and attending technical college, he learned every aspect of the trade. After 12 years of experience in the plant, Stefan moved into a management position and is currently President of the company. In 1995, the existing plant was doubled in size to accommodate the market requirements for larger sized fabrications. All the while, we maintained our focus on providing the best in quality, price and delivery. In the past five years, our work has expanded from press and machine bases into gears, gear reducers, offshore drilling equipment, mining equipment and a wide variety of other custom fabrications, including innovative prototypes. Quinton Steel built its reputation on competitive PRICE, QUALITY and DELIVERY. These are the cornerstones of our company and have ensured our continued growth.
