The Black Knights won games of 4-1 and 7-2. 4The teams split in their last meeting in Buffalo, with Canisius winning the opener, 2-0, and the Black Knights rallying for the 4-3 victory in the finale. 4Overall, Army is unbeaten in its last five games against the Griffs, going 4-0-1 during that span. ABOUT THE BLACK KNIGHTS 4Army is currently sixth in the Atlantic Hockey standings with 14 points, going 6-6-2 in league play. The Black Knights are 7-10-3 overall this season. 4Army is 0-2-1 in its last three games after winning its previous four contests. 4The Black Knights have struggled on the road this season, going just 2-8-2 away from West Point this year. 4The team has been led offensively by junior Cody Omilusik this season. Omilusik has recorded 22 points on a team-best 13 goals and nine assists. He ranks second in Atlantic Hockey with his 13 goals plus third with five power-play scores. 4Senior Eric Sefchik ranks second on the team with 17 points, scoring four goals and adding a team-high 13 helpers. 4Junior Jay Clark has anchored the defense between the pipes. He ranks second in Atlantic Hockey with a save percentage of.915 and fifth with a goals against average of 2.85. DOWN TO THE WIRE 4A common theme to recent Canisius games is how the game isn t determined until the end. 4In five of the Griffs last six games, the game-winning goal has been scored with 5:11 left in regulation or later. 4In fact, a lead with just over five minutes remaining in regulation isn t safe. During the six-game run the team leading with 5:30 left in the game is just 1-2-1 with the other two contests being tied with 5:30 left. 4Despite games being decided so late, comebacks after two periods are not common. Canisius is 5-0-1 when leading after two this season and 0-9-0 when trailing heading into the final period.

HUDSON GETS OFFENSIVE 4Since first arriving on campus, senior Carl Hudson has shown that offense is his specialty. 4This season, Hudson ranks sixth nationally among defensemen with 0.95 points per game, recording 20 points on six goals and a career-best 14 assists. 4Hudson also leads all Atlantic Hockey defenders this season with his 20 points. 4During his career, Hudson has set or tied five of the program s Division I career records. 4The senior ranks first in a number of career offensive categories by a Griff defender. He owns the school marks for most points by a blueliner (76), most goals (36) and most assists (40). 4Hudson has nearly three times as many goals as the next highest Griff blueliner (36 to 14) and nearly double the points (76 to 42). 4The defender is also first among all players in power-play goals (23) and game-winning goals (9). 4Hudson also owns the school s marks for season goals by a defender (14) and season game-winning goals (5), set during the 2008-09 campaign. 4Last season, Hudson became the first Canisius defender to earn all-conference accolades in 10 years, earning third-team honors. MOSER ANCHORS PENALTY KILL UNIT 4 In the third period of a 2-2 deadlock against Bentley in the Griffs last game, sophomore Scott Moser stepped up and anchored an impressive penalty kill unit for Canisius. 4 Moser led a unit that successfully killed all five power plays it faced during the third stanza, including four-straight minutes of a Bentley power play and two minutes of 5-on-3 action. 4 During its five extra-man opportunities, Canisius allowed only two shots on goal. 4 Moser, alone, blocked seven shots during the contest to help the Griffs earn the victory. 4 The third period was a much needed boost to the Griffs penalty kill unit. Prior to that final frame, Canisius opponents had converted 42.3 percent (11-26) of their extra-man chances in the last three-plus games. 4 Moser has also contributed on the offensive side this season, posting career highs with nine points and seven assists. ROOKIE REWARD 4 Freshman Preston Shupe has stepped up as of late and has contributed to the Griffs success as a rookie in 2009-10. 4 Shupe, who has posted a point in a season-best five-straight games, recorded four points last weekend against Bentley. He netted his first career multi-goal game in the opener and then tallied the primary assist on two scores, including the game-winning goal with 2:40 left, in the finale. 4 Shupe has also contributed in other ways this season. He teamed with sophomore Scott Moser to anchor the Griffs penalty kill unit in the finale against Bentley. He also won three faceoffs with under 20 seconds left to help preserve the victory. 4 For the season, Shupe has recorded 17 points on four goals and 13 assists. He currently leads all Atlantic Hockey freshmen with his 17 points. CON-VINCING COMBINATION 4 Juniors Cory Conacher and Vincent Scarsella have been on the same page this season and have provided much-needed offense for the Griffs. 4 Conacher leads the team with 31 points and 15 goals this season to go along with 16 assists. Scarsella has registered 25 points on eight goals and a team-best 17 helpers. 4 The linemates are the only pair of teammates to both rank in the Atlantic Hockey top five for scoring. Conacher currently ranks first with 31 points, while Scarsella is fourth with 25. 4 They have each other to thank for their success this season. Of their 23 goals, the other has assisted on 17 of the scores. FIRST-PERIOD IMPORTANCE 4 Canisius has found out how important it is to get off to a quick start this season. 4 Canisius is 8-0-1 when leading at the end of one period this season. On the reverse side, Canisius is 0-8-1 when trailing heading into the first intermission. 4 The Griffs have allowed at least two goals in the first period in nine of their 10 losses this season. 4 Canisius is outscoring teams 16-3 during the opening frame in games it wins. In losses, the Griffs are being outscored 19-4. Hudson in the Division I Record Book Career Points By a Defender G A Pts 1. Carl Hudson (2006- ) 36 40 76 2.

The Griffin is a mythical creature of supposed gigantic size that has the head, forelegs and wings of an eagle and the hindquarters, tail and ears of a lion. They are well known for their speed, ability to fly and having eyes like an eagle as well as the strength and courage of a lion. Griffins have been known for centuries as symbols of strength and vigilance, have been called The Hounds of Zeus in Greek mythology and are said to have mastery of both the land and sky. They are thought to be from India, where the natives of the land made their talons and claws into drinking cups because the talon of a Griffin was said to detect poison in a liquid. Griffins would find gold in the mountains and line their nests with it and as a result, were forced to become great guardians of the nests to keep the hunters away.

Canisius is now 2-5-1 all-time against the conference, including a 2-0-1 mark during the last two seasons. 4 Canisius also defeated Ferris State earlier in the season for their second all-time victory against a CCHA team. 4 The Griffs and Bentley are the only two Atlantic Hockey schools to defeat a team in two other conferences this season. CONACHER NAMED ATLANTIC HOCKEY PLAYER OF THE MONTH 4 Junior Cory Conacher was named the Atlantic Hockey Player of the Month in November after leading the Canisius offense. 4 Conacher recorded a team-best 13 points, eight goals and four power-play tallies during the month, helping the Griffs to a 5-3-1 record. 4 His highlights during the month included scoring the game-winning goal on a penalty shot versus Mercyhurst with just 5:36 remaining. He also posted his best collegiate weekend against AIC, registering six points, four goals and two assists in a sweep. 4 Conacher finished the month by scoring a goal in four-straight games, the longest streak in his career. CONACHER MATCHES A PAIR OF SCHOOL RECORDS 4 Cory Conacher picked up in December right where he left off in November, matching a pair of school records. 4 In the Griffs 9-3 victory versus Bentley, Conacher set career highs with five points, netting the game-winning goal and adding four assists. 4 Conacher became the third player in the school s Division I history to record five points in a single game. Chris Duggan (March 13, 1999) and Mike Ruberto (Oct. 9, 2005) also accomplished the feat. 4 Conacher also tied the program s record with four assists in a game, matching the standard set by four players -- Duggan (March 13, 1999), Joel Tarvudd (Jan. 8, 2000), David Deeves (Nov. 2, 2001) and current teammate Jason Weeks (Nov. 1, 2008). 4 Earlier in the season, Conacher also matched a school record by recording the ninth hat trick in the program s Division I history. CONACHER NETS PROGRAM S NINTH HAT TRICK 4 Junior Cory Conacher wasted no time making an impact in the 2009-10 season. Division I Hat Tricks 4 In his first game of the season, Conacher netted threeconsecutive goals against Lake Superior State to tally the 2. Brad Kenny, vs. Holy Cross (Jan. 30, 1999) 1.

GRIFFS EARN FIRST SWEEP VERSUS MERCYHURST 4 The Griffs two wins against Mercyhurst was a historic first for the Canisius College hockey program, marking the first time that the Griffs swept a weekend series from their rivals. 4 Canisius has played Mercyhurst more than any other school in program s history. The sweep was the first for the Griffs in the 60-game, 21-year series. 4 The Griffs also won consecutive games for the first time against the Lakers since Dec. 2, 1996 and Jan. 19, 1996. Canisius needed to play Mercyhurst 39 times at the Division I level before winning consecutive games in the rivalry. OFFENSIVE OUTBURST 4Canisius got out a lot of frustration in a 9-3 victory over Bentley on Dec. 5. 4The Griffs dominating victory not only ended the team s three-game losing streak but also ended Bentley s hold over Canisius. The Falcons had won 7-of-8 meetings in the last two seasons. 4The nine goals for Canisius are tied for the second most in the program s Division I history and the most since a 9-2 win over Bentley on Nov. 2, 2001. 4Junior Cory Conacher tied school records with five points and four assists in the victory to lead the Canisius offense. 4In total, seven Griffs scored a goal in the win, while 13 players registered a point.

SHORT-HANDED THREATS 4During their careers, senior Jason Weeks and junior Cory Conacher have proven to be dangerous scoring threats, even while on the penalty kill. 4Weeks ranks first in the program s Division I history with six short-handed tallies, while Conacher places fourth with three goals. 4Last season, Conacher tied the school mark and ranked sixth nationally with three short-handed goals, matching the record set by Weeks during the 2006-07 season. 4Both also own the individual game record with two mandown goals.
