Novice AA Battle Back In Game 2 To Even Series
The Novice AA Gryphons exploded for five goals in the third period on route to a 6-1 victory over the Burlington Eagles in Game 2 of the Novice AA Tri County Final.  With the victory, the Gryphons have evened up the best of five series at one game apiece.

The game started out a close tight checking affair.   With 2:22 left in the opening frame,  Tanner Bothwell got the Gryphs on the board when he slid in a rebound into the open net to give Guelph the lead.  Koen Smith and Nathan Briggs drew assists on the play.

The second period saw both teams with numerous chances but were denied by excellent goaltending.  Kurtis Abbey came up with several glove saves to keep Burlington off the board.  Finally, with only 41 seconds left in the second period,  Burlington's Brady Hollingsworth broke in off the side boards and roofed the puck top shelf to tie the score at one heading into the third period.

In the third,  Guelph got the bounces and exploded for five goals.  2:28 into the final period,  Tanner Bothwell fed Nathan Briggs in front and Brigss banged it home for a 2-1 lead.  Two minutes later,  Nathan Schlitt's forechecking led to a turnover and he fed the puck back to defenseman Vincent Piccone.  Piccone made no mistake as he stepped to the top of the circle a smoked a wrist shot in the far corner for a 3-1 lead.   Then, two minutes later while killing a penalty,  Landon Mitchell stripped the Burlington defenseman of the puck and walked in alone on a breakaway and buried the biscuit for a 4-1 lead.  With 5:39 left,  Nathan Briggs pounced on a loose puck while on the powerplay and slammed it in for his second of the night and a 5-1 lead for the Gryphons.   With 2:33 remaining in the contest,  Tanner Bothwell fed a beautiful pass thru two Burlington defenders in the neutral zone to send Koen Smith in all alone on a breakaway.  Smith made no mistake to complete the scoring.

Kurtis Abbey was strong in the Gryphons net,  facing 16 shots in the victory.

The Gryphons return to action for Game 3 of the series this Wednesday night at home.

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.
