Box Score Guelph, Ont. – It was a tragic week for the Gryphon men's hockey team who, on Wednesday, found out they had lost a member of their hockey family when 21-year-old Cole Hamblin passed away from a rare form of cancer. Prior to their game on Friday night versus McGill, there was a moment of silence for Hamblin. When the puck finally dropped and the game got underway, it would be the Redmen who would come out on top 5-2 thanks to a three goal outburst in the second period.
After allowing McGill to score 40 seconds in to the game, the Gryphons would respond later in the period when Kyle Neuber would send a beautiful back-handed pass to set up Carlos Amestoy for his third goal of the season to tie things up at 1-1.

But after McGill took a 2-1 lead in the 2
nd period, they would score two more goals in the span of just 16 seconds to jump out to a 4-1 lead and would not look back from there.
In a touching gesture at the end of the game, both teams gathered around Cole Hamblin's jersey. The Gryphons will continue to fundraise on behalf of Cole's family throughout the course of the season. With the loss the Gryphons fall to 3-5-2 while McGill improves to 7-2-0. Up next for the Gryphons, a home date with the Nipissing Lakers on Friday, Nov. 14
