Novice AA Shuts Out Flamborough in Tri County
The Novice AA Gryphons ran their record to 2-0 in Tri County Playoff action with a 4-0 victory over the Flamborough Sabres behind the shutout goaltending of Kurtis Abbey.

The two evenly matched teams battled thru a scoreless first period as each team were only able to register three shots on goal apiece.

The scoreless game continued through second period until Guelph finally got on the board with 4:23 left in the period.  Vincent Picccone blasted a shot from the point that was too hot for the Flamborough goalie to handle and Nathan Schlitt backhanded the rebound into the top corner for the eventual game winner.  Two minutes later, Oscar Johnson directed the puck on net and it was corralled by Caysen Craig who threw it on net where Trenton Harris banged it in for a 2-0 lead.  The score stood 2-0 after two periods of play.

Seven minutes into the third,  Matthew Stam picked up the puck in his own zone and blazed down the wing and cut by the defenseman on the outside.  As he got to the faceoff circle he fed the puck cross crease were a waiting Landon Mitchell steered the puck into the open corner for a 3-0 lead.   With 2:42 left,  Mitchell again cashed in to increase the lead to 4-0.  Nathan Schlitt drew the assist.

Kurtis Abbey turned aside 17 shots for the shutout victory.

The Gryphons (2-0) return to action on Monday night when they travel to Oakville to take on the Rangers.
