Novice, 2016-2017, U16 (Guelph Minor Hockey Association)

A goal in the opening minute was all the scoring in the game as the Guelph Gryphons Novice Selects edged the Acton Chargers 1-0 on Monday evening at West End.

On Friday March 17 the Gryphon Novice Selects travelled down Highway 7 to Kitchener where they were shut out 3-0 by the Jr Rangers. The game was a struggle for the Gryphons who had trouble adapting to the Olympic ice surface and were victimized by the Rangers passing and playmaking skills.   The Gryphons did generate several scoring chances, including breakaways by Tanner Johnson early in the first period and Nicky Tyas to open the third, but were unable to solve Kitchener's strong goaltending. The Gryphons return to action on Monday March 20 when they host the Acton Chargers at West ...

Led by excellent goaltending performances by Carter Curran and Max Heroux, the Gryphon Novice Selects prevailed 4-0 over the Acton Chargers on Saturday evening.  Both Curran and Heroux made several point blank stops to post their first shutout of the season.

The Guelph Jr Gryphons Novice Selects traveled to Fergus on Sunday evening and came home with a convincing 7-1 victory over the Center Wellington Fusion.  The victory was a team effort as six different players pitched in with the scoring.  

The Guelph Gryphon Novice Selects traveled to the Nottawasaga Resort on Friday February 3 to compete in the Bradford Blue and Gold Tourney and two days and five games later, traveled home with silver medals after dropping a nail biting 2-0 decision to the Cumberland Dukes in the Championship Game.

After battling each other in GMHA house league action on Sunday afternoon, the Novice Selects set aside their league rivalries to band together and head to Fergus and take on the Centre Wellington Fusion on Sunday evening.  In a very evenly matched game, the Gryphons gave a hard working effort that led to a 3-3 tie.
