The Guelph Gryphons Minor Peewee AA’s travelled
to Orangeville on Wednesday night for the return engagement of their home and
home series. Coming off of Monday night’s
win, the Gryphons kept on rolling with a solid 2-0 victory over the Flyers.
The game winning tally came early in the
contest. Just 2:26 into the first period,
Koen Smith worked the puck back to defenseman Nathan Schlitt off a draw in the
Orangeville zone. Schlitt stepped in and
rifled a shot thru the five hole to give Guelph a 1-0 lead.
The one goal lead held strong thru halfway into
the third period when Guelph added some insurance. Tyler Chadwick controlled a loose puck in
front of the Orangeville net and zipped it home for a 2-0 lead. Zac Conroy drew the assist on the play. Guelph kept the Flyers in check the rest of
the way and skated home with a 2-0 victory.
Ale Gruosso (son of Fotini) was once again
strong in the Guelph net to pick up the shutout.
Guelph currently holds down 1st place
in the Bowen North Division with a 12-7-2 record. They return to action next Monday when they
host the Halton Hills Thunder.
