Lady Tommies Tame the Tigers

Captain Katie Brewster with a hat-trick against the Dal Tigers

The Lady Tommies tamed the Tigers from Dalhousie this afternoon at the Grant-Harvey Centre. The Tigers came out and scored the first goal silencing the home crowd early in the first period at 3:44 but the Tommies rallied back four minutes later with a goal from team captain Katie Brewster she scored an unassisted, short-handed goal. The score remained 1-1 after one. The shots on goal 11-7 in favour of the Tommies.

Myfanwy Thomson (Katie Brewster, Kelty Apperson) opened up the second period scoring at 0:34 into the frame. This opened the flood gates as the Tommies kept pouring on the pressure, scoring again at 2:12 off the stick of Teah Anderson (Emily Francis). Not to be out done though, Katie Brewster (Myfanwy Thomson) put another one in to make the score 4-1. The Tigers managed to score their last goal of the game very late in the second period. The score at the end of the second period was 4-2, Tommies, they also held onto the shots on goal 10-7.

The Tigers came out strong in the third period throwing lots of shots on goal, rookie keeper Makayla Campbell stood her ground though holding Dal off the score sheet in the frame. The Tommies put a puck in the empty net at 19:50, this gave captain Katie Brewster (unassisted) her three goal hat-trick. The final score of the game was 5-2, shots on goal in the third 13-9 in favour of Dal, and for the game 30-27 for the Tommies.

The Lady Tommies are on the road in the upcoming weekend as they head to Mt. Allison for a Saturday night game against the Mounties and an afternoon game on Sunday in Halifax versus the St. Mary's Huskies.

Lady Tommies Fall to X-Women in OT

Tommies Hardest Working player, goaltender Kristin Wolfe

In a hard fought battle at the Grant-Harvey Centre the Lady Tommies put on a great show for their fans tonight against the nationally fourth ranked St. FX X-Women. Kristin Wolfe stood on her head to stop 32 of 34 shots and was a shoe in for the "Hardest Working Tommie" of the game.

The Tommies opened the scoring early in the first period at the 6:39 mark, when Stephanie Gates (Jenna Scott) put one past X-Women goal-keeper Pascale Daigle. Both Teams were even in shots on goal at nine a piece through one.

X scored a little over halfway through the second period and kept pouring on offensive pressure after that, they lead the shots on goal 15-8.

The third period was shutout at both ends as Wolfe and Daigle were able to keep the puck out of their respective nets. The X-Women still came out on top on the shots on goal department though leading the Tommies 9-5.

Overtime was short and not sweet though as Alexa Normore of St. FX came across the blue line on a mission, scoring on Wolfe and ending the game

Both teams were scoreless on the powerplay, and the final shots on goal were 34-22 in favour of X.

The Lady Tommies faceoff against the Dalhousie Tigers at 2pm at the Grant-Harvey Centre, come on out and cheer on your Tommies.

Moncton upends STU

The Tommies gave a good effort tonight versus U de M but came out on the wrong end of a 4 to 1 score.  Les Aigles scored 2 goals eighteen seconds apart in the middle frame and STU was never able to close the gap.  Goaltender Jon Groenheyde started in net and was rock solid after a 3 game absence.

The first period was scoreless and both teams looked sloppy in the early going.  Moncton buried two chances at 2:48 and 3:06 of the second to take a lead they wouldn't relinquish.  Felix Poulin (Sanza, Cameron) cut the lead in half 56 seconds into the third period but the Tommies would not get any closer.

U de M scored on the PP at 10:42 to restore the two goal lead and would score into the empty net to give you the final score of 4 to 1.  Groenheyde was sharp facing 42 shots while STU sent 34 shots the other way.

The Tommies are off this weekend as the AUS all-star game will take centre stage on Friday night at 7PM from the Grant-Harvey Centre.

Tommies Fall Hard on the Island

The Men's Tommies had a hard night in Charlottetown. The Tommies squared off against the UPEI Panthers for the 7pm start. The Panthers came into the game getting an extra nights rest, after having their game cancelled the night before in Moncton due to high winds on Confederation Bridge.

The hard charging Panthers opened the scoring early putting four up on the board to the Tommies one. The Tommies lead the period in shots though, 11-10. Also in the first period rookie Kody Orr from Lower Sackville, NS, scored his first CIS goal on a shorthanded marker assisted by Jonathan Bonneau.

The second period started much the same way the first period did with UPEI sliding five more goals past Tommies goaltender, Alex St-Arnaud, who was masterful against the Squirrels the previous night. Jordan Thomas scored in the period for the Tommies, also getting his first CIS goal in his AUS career, the helpers went to Stephen Sanza and Brendan Childerly. The Panthers lead the way in shots as well as the goal column, in the second. Shots on goal were 16-11, Panthers.

Tyler Piercy started the third period, holding his own only allowing the Panthers to get one passed him in eight shots. The final score was 10-2 for UPEI. The final shots on goal were 34-28 for UPEI.

The Tommies are coming home to a game on Wednesday night at the GHC at 7pm against UdeM.

Tommies fall short versus UNB

Sanza's goal on former Tommie and teammate Charlie Lavigne

The Battle of the Hill was truly a battle tonight for both teams but it was UNB holding on to defeat the Tommies 3 to 2. Although short staffed, the Tommmies were more than ready to fight the big red machine. Alex St-Arnaud was steady tonight in the Tommies' net as the defending national champions out shot STU 48-27.


UNB scored two goals in the first period but STU responded in the second when Colin Martin deflected one past Charles Lavigne off a point shot from Jon Bonneau. The score would hold up until late in the third period when UNB scored a wrap around goal that St-Arnaud would love to have back.

Steve Sanza scored STU's second goal with under a minute left with the extra attacker but the Tommies could not find the equalizer. There was some pushing and shoving after the final buzzer went but it didn't change the final score.

STU heads to PEI tomorrow and will take on the well rested Panthers, whose game tonight versus Moncton was cancelled due to high winds on the Confederation Bridge.
