Queen's 5 RMC 4
KINGSTON, Ont. (November 29, 2017) – The Queen's Gaels (8-4-3) won a wild game on Wednesday night over their rival RMC Paladins (5-8-3) by a score of 5-4. Despite giving up a lead late in the third period, the Gaels were able to bounce back and win the game in overtime when Luke Edwards (Kingston, Ont.) scored the game winner 1:53 into overtime.
The first period saw the Tricolour jump out to an early lead when Slater Doggett (Oakville, Ont.) scored his ninth goal of the year at 5:31. Captain Spencer Abraham (Campbellville, Ont.) would extend the Gaels lead to 2-0 with his second goal of the season just over ten minutes later. Queen's was in control after the first period and would head into the second frame up 2-0.
Ryan Bloom (Calgary) would keep things rolling for the Gaels in the second when he potted his fifth goal of the season just 45 seconds into the period with assists going to Doggett and Darcy Greenaway (Wilton, Ont.). The Paladins would answer back late in the period as Riley Brandt scored in the final minute of the period to give RMC some new life heading into the final period.
The final six minutes of the third period were wild as RMC would get the ball rolling on a Scott Emerson goal at 14:13 to cut the Gaels lead to 3-2. Greenaway would make it 4-2 in favour of the Gaels at 18:26 to seemingly put the game to rest. RMC had other plans as forward Owen Gill would score two goals in the frantic final minute and a half to send the game to extra time.
Queen's would squash the RMC comeback hopes early in overtime when Edwards scored to end the game and send the Gaels home with a 5-4 victory.
Kevin Bailie (Belleville, Ont.) picked up the win in net for the Gaels, registering 31 saves while Daniel Vautour picked up the loss in net for the Paladins.

Waterloo 0 Laurier 9
WATERLOO, Ont. (November 30, 2017) - The Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks men's hockey team put on their best offensive display in over seven years on Thursday morning as they defeated the Waterloo Warriors 9-0 in their fifth annual School Day Game at the Waterloo Memorial Recreation Complex.
Playing in front of 3067 fans, the second-largest crowd to attend the event, the Hawks had eight different goal scorers and 10 players finish with at least two points as they found the back of the net nine times for the first time since posting a 9-2 victory over the RMC Paladins back on November 19, 2010.
Leading the way for the Hawks was rookie forward Anthony Sorrentino of Woodbridge, Ont., who scored the game's first goal, and eventual game winner, to send the stuffed animals flying as the team also hosted their annual Teddy Bear Toss. Sorrentino would later add an assist on one of two goals scored by defenceman Alex Adams of Orangeville, Ont., the first two goals of his career with the Hawks since joining the team for the 2015-16 season.
Other goal scorers for the purple and gold in the contest included Matt Franczyk of Winnipeg, Andrew Fritsch of Brantford, Ont., Erik Pushka of Dugald, Man., Christian Mroczkowski of Kitchener, Ont., Jeremy Pullara of Vaughan, Ont., and Danny Hanlon of Waterloo, Ont., as Laurier posted their largest win over the Warriors since a 10-0 victory in 2002.
Pushka also had a pair of assists to finish with three points while Anthony Conti of North Vancouver, B.C., added three assists.
Goaltender Chris Festarini of Oakville, Ont., posted the first shutout of his Laurier career as he turned away all 31 shots he faced to help Laurier improve their record to 2-2-1 in School Day Games. The performance also lowered his goals against average to 2.01, leaving him ranked second in the OUA.
After a tight opening period in which Laurier held a 1-0 lead but were outshot 13-11, the Hawks took control of the contest early in the second period thanks to a powerplay tally from Hanlon just 37 seconds into the frame.
Pushka, Pullara and Adams would all add goals before the second was out as the Hawks led 5-0 after 40 minutes.
With Laurier well on their way to their fifth straight victory over their cross-town rivals, the Hawks kept coming in the third period. After Mroczkowski scored to make it 6-0, goals from Adams, Fritsch and Francyzk just 48 seconds apart put the finishing touches on an emphatic victory.
The win vaults the purple and gold into first place in the OUA West Division as they improve to 10-3-2 on the season.
As for Waterloo, they fall to 5-8-2 on the year and sit eighth in the West.
The victory also moves Laurier two wins away from clinching the first awarding of the Battle of Waterloo trophy as the Hawks now have six wins, one loss and four ties this season against the Warriors with eight games remaining.
The Hawks will wrap up the 2017 portion of their schedule on Friday night in Toronto as they take on the York Lions (10-4-1). The meeting is the second of the season between the two teams after Laurier defeated the Lions, then ranked No. 5 in Canada, 6-2 on home ice back on November 2.

Ryerson 5 Western 2
LONDON, Ont. – Their third consecutive game away from the Mattamy Athletic Centre, the Rams came away with a 5-2 victory against the struggling Western Mustangs on Thursday night. Their second consecutive win sees the Rams improve to a 10-4-1 record, and move into a tie for second place in the OUA's Western Conference.
Wednesday's contest saw twelve different Rams players acquire points in the victory, including five separate goal scorers on the night. Rams assistant captain Lucas Froese (Grunthal, Man.) lead the way in points with two assists throughout the evening, in a match-up that saw the visiting team follow through with improvements in their playing styles on both ends of the ice throughout the game.
It took just three minutes for the visiting Rams to get on the scoreboard, as captain Alex Basso (Toronto, Ont.) recorded his fourth goal in three games to give Ryerson a 1-0 lead early in the first period. Ten minutes later, Rams freshman forward Steven Harland (Toronto, Ont.) recorded his fourth goal on the power play to put Ryerson up 2-0 heading into the second period of action.
Following the intermission, the Rams would continue their offensive surge and dominate the ice over the next twenty minutes. For the first ten minutes of the period, the Rams defensive play took complete control of the tempo on the ice, as play was relegated predominately to neutral ice, and the Western zone. With this assistance behind him, it proved to be no trouble for freshman defenseman Andrew Mullen (Toronto, Ont.) to tuck in his first goal as a Ram thirteen minutes into the period. Not to be outdone, teammate Jared Walsh (Toronto, Ont.) would tap in is second goal of the season to put the Rams up 4-0 heading into the second intermission.
Heading into the final period down 4-0 on home ice, the Western Mustangs would need to play an intensity not exhibited all season to pull off a major upset. Veteran Mustangs forward Steven Beyers (Orangeville, Ont.) would attempt to supply the motivation necessary to accomplish this feat, as he provided the home team with their first goal of the game just four minutes into the period. The goal by Beyers seemed to provide some life to a Mustangs bench that was in need of resuscitation, as just ten minutes later Western freshman center Cordell James (Powassan, Ont.) would provide his fifth goal of the season to drag the Rams lead down to two goals with five minutes left to play in the game.
Fortunately for the Rams, freshman forward Mitchell Skapski (Abbotsford, B.C.), would not let the Ryerson lead be diminished any further, as he provided his first goal as a member of the Ryerson Rams to push the final score to 5-2.

Windsor 3 Western 7
LONDON, Ont. – Four power play goals helped carry the Mustangs over the Windsor Lancers on Friday evening, securing a 7-3 win over the Windsor Lancers for their final game of 2017.
With the win the Mustangs head into the December break with a 5-9-2 record and only one point away from a playoff spot. The loss pushes the Lancers record to 5-6-4, maintaining their sixth place standing in the OUA West.
The Mustangs' special teams contingent stole the spotlight tonight, killing off two penalties and registering four power play goals.
"On both ends of special teams, our power play was good also, but penalty kill especially," said Cody Brown, "I took a four-minute penalty and we killed that off thankfully, and that put us in a good position for the rest of the game."
Brown put two goals on the board for Western, with both coming on the power play. Warnaar, Mitchell Brooks, Kyle Pettit, Kolten Olynek, and Anthony Stefano rounded out the scoring effort with one goal each, while #Rob Polesello# racked up three assists.
"Especially with the effort last night when the first two periods weren't good against Ryerson, but we played a good third…we tried to carry that into tonight which I think we did a pretty good job of," said Warnaar. "Everyone played well from the goalie out, [McGlynn] made some good stops and we were able to put up seven spots. You can win many games with those numbers."
Windsor put up 45 shots against Brendan McGlynn, but could only get three past the newest Mustang goaltender, with only Chris Scott, Brennan Feasey, and Ryan Shaw were successful in beating McGlynn.
The Lancers took two penalties to start the game, allowing Western to surge ahead to a two-goal lead within the first 10 minutes of play.
All three of the first period goals came courtesy of special teams, with Brown starting off the scoring only three minutes into the game with a power play marker. Brooks would knock his second of the season halfway through the frame, followed by Pettit to end the period with a 3-1 advantage.
The Mustangs put up two more goals in the second, with Warnaar's goal coming a mere minute into the period, before Olynek notched his fourth goal of the season midway through the period to give the Mustangs a 5-1 lead. Feasey hit the back of the net for the Lancers in the final minute of the frame to send the game into the third with Western up 5-2.
Western didn't wait long to extend their lead to four goals as Brown scored his second power play goal of the night less than a minute into the period.
The Lancers responded late in the frame by flexing their skills on special teams and added a third goal to their total on a short-handed breakaway.
That would be as close as things would get, as Stefano would score an empty net goal with a little under three minutes remaining to give the Mustangs a 7-3 win.
The Mustangs are now halfway through the season and will be on a break until the new year. Western will face off at home against the Waterloo Warriors on January 5, in Thompson Arena at 7 p.m.
"[The break] comes at a great time for us," said assistant coach Patrick Oullet. "The guys battled really hard and our record, we're not too happy with our record. But with what we've gone through, the break is the best Christmas we could have right now."

Laurentian 3 McGill 6
MONTREAL -- Guillaume Gauthier of Ste. Marthe sur le Lac, Que., scored a pair of goals, including the game-winner, as No.5 ranked McGill doubled the Laurentian University Voyageurs 6-3 in OUA men's hockey, Friday, at McConnell Arena.
It marked the ninth consecutive win for the Redmen over Laurentian, dating back to a 5-2 loss on Oct. 18, 2014, and improved their lifetime record to 20-5-2 record in 27 meetings overall .
"I didn't think we were particularly great tonight," admitted McGill bench boss Kelly Nobes despite a 58-25 edge in shots on goal, including a 27-7 margin in the final frame. "We had a strong third period. Special teams were good. But our first two periods weren't where they needed to be. We talked about not giving up too much early in the game but we did. We want to be better on the transition from offence to defence and in some of our defensive responsibilities."
The 27 shots in the final stanza ranked as the third highest output in a period in McGill history and was four shy of the school record -- achieved in the second period on a game against RMC on Jan. 31, 2000.
McGill was 2-for-6 on the power play and perfect on two penalty kills. Both teams allowed a shorthanded marker. The Redmen continue to lead the nation in shorthanded tallies with seven. The McGill PK unit has killed off 25 consecutive manpower situations and now ranks No.2 in the 20-team OUA with an 89.7 per cent success rate.
"To get two power play goals was good for our PP groups tonight and our penalty-kill's been rolling for a little bit, so special teams were effective tonight," said Nobes.
Five Redmen scored goals and 10 players merited points in the victory. To date, 18 different McGill players have tallied at least one goal.
"We're getting scoring from all four lines and we're getting it in different ways," noted Nobes. "We have seven shorthanded goals, our power play's scored some and we're getting it from guys on different lines. It probably makes us harder to defend and it means guys are playing the right way. To win at the end of year you need to have everybody able to contribute, so it's a good thing for us."
McGill jumped to a 3-0 lead in the first period but Laurentian fought back to make it 3-2 midway through the second stanza. Gauthier's power-play tally at 16:08 of the period threw a wrench in the Voyageurs' comeback effort, putting the Redmen up 4-2. The 5-foot-10, 200-pound left winger added an even-strength marker 3:30 into the third to make it 5-3.
"He was moving good tonight," said Nobes of his sophomore who has scored five goals in his last four games after only connecting twice in his first nine contests. "Had some jump in his game. He's scored in the last four games, is shooting the puck well and getting some chances. He and Jerome Verrier and Christophe Lalonde have decent chemistry so it's good to have him getting some goals for us."
Verrier, who also hails from Drummondville, had gotten things started shorthanded at 9:53 of the first period. The economics junior also added an assist an currently ranks third in the OUA scoring race with a 5-21-26 record in 17 contests.
Sophomore Samuel Tremblay of St. Basile le Grand, Que., doubled McGill's advantage at 14:33 and defenceman Dominic Talbot-Tassi of Mascouche, Que., added another just 35 seconds after that to make make it 3-0. The shifty junior ranks now second among OUA blueliners with 17 points, including six goals, in 17 games.
Laurentian came out strong in the middle frame, with Danny Lepage scoring 1:42 into the period and Russell Nowrybringing the Voyageurs within one at 7:58. Blake Forslund made it 4-3 with a shorty at 19:44, prompting a McGill goalie change after the period.
Gauthier's second of the evening opened the third period scoring and Lalonde, a native of Mirabel, Que., capped things off with a power-play goal at 14:36.
Joe Fleschler of Westfield, N.J., started in goal for the Redmen and earned the win with 15 saves on 18 shots through 40 minutes, improving to 3-0. Louis-Philip Guindon of St. Joseph du Lac, Que., blocked all seven shots faced in the final period.
Laurentian starter Victor-Olivier Courchesne lasted just 15:08 in the Voyageurs' net, allowing three goals on nine shots before being relieved by Gunner Rivers, who turned away an impressive 46 of 49 shots but was saddled with the loss, dropping his record to 0-7.

Laurier 1 York 4
The York University Lions men's hockey team took on the visiting Laurier Golden Hawks in their last home game of 2017 on Friday night and wrapped up the year in style, posting a convincing 4-1 victory at Canlan Ice Sports.
The Golden Hawks had surpassed the Lions by one point in the standings and came in to Friday's game sitting in first place in the OUA West. They also handed the Lions their first loss of the season, defeating the Lions 6-2 earlier this year. On Friday, the Lions were able to redeem themselves.
Nine minutes into the first period, the Lions scored and gave themselves an early lead. This goal was scored by Trevor Petersen, and assisted by Colton Vannucci and Jack Goranson. After that, neither team scored for the remainder of the period and the Lions led 1-0.
In the second period, Nik Coric – assisted by Andrew Doyle – added another goal for the Lions less than four minutes in. Goaltender Alex Fotinos was able to hold off all of the Golden Hawks' attempts to score, and at the end of the second period the Lions were leading 2-0.
The Golden Hawks were finally able to find the back of the Lions' net at 12:04 of the third period, with Neil Aird adding their first goal of the game with the assistance of teammates Braydon Blight and Christian Mroczkowski. The Lions quickly took back control of the puck and added two more goals before the end of the game.
The first was scored by Vannucci and assisted by Petersen and Morgan Messenger. The second was a short-handed goal by Scott Feser in which he went in alone on a breakaway and was stopped, but he fired the rebound into the top right corner of the net.
The Lions have improved to an 11-4-1 season record with the win, and the Golden Hawks sit at 10-4-2, just one point back.

Guelph 6 Toronto 4
TORONTO – It's a good time for fans of the Guelph Gryphons men's hockey team. The hottest squad in the country, boasting an offence that's clicking like few others, was at it again Friday night. The No. 9-ranked Gryphons ran their win streak to nine games with a wild 6-4 victory over the Toronto Varsity Blues at Varsity Arena.
The streak began against the same Varsity Blues with a 4-1 win on Aggies Night back on Nov. 2 at Gryphon Centre Arena. And Guelph (11-3-1) has been on fire ever since, racking up an incredible 50 goals over the nine games, while also allowing a hearty 29. The Gryphons are tied with the York Lions (11-4-1) at 23 points but have played one fewer game.
"We've had other stretches in previous years where we've won chunks of games but they were maybe interrupted with an overtime loss," said head coach Shawn Camp, noting the exceptional team efforts each night this past month. "But I don't recall consecutive wins like this. It's been a fun run."
Todd Winder had two goals for Guelph. The first-year centre from Uxbridge, ON, opening the scoring early in the first when he beat goaltender Frederic Foulem. And he would finish it with his team-leading 11th of the season at 5:24 of the third period to reestablish Guelph's two-goal cushion at 6-4.
Camp said Winder had shown great consistency in his first year as a Gryphon, adding to the team's offensive depth and balance.
"He's so dangerous," the coach said. "He has speed, he has skill, and he's very smart. Todd really uses his linemates very well. He's dangerous every night."
Seth Swenson, J.P. Villeneuve, Max McCutcheon (two points), and Reilly O'Connor (two points) each had a goal for the Gryphons, while Tryg Strand added three assists. Guelph goalie Jason Da Silva made 23 saves to earn his eighth win of the season.
It was a physical affair that featured six first-period goals before tempers eventually boiled over in the final few minutes of the game when a few run-ins led to packed penalty boxes.
Guelph had to come back in this one despite going up 3-1. Toronto got its first lead of the night at 4:35 of the second period immediately after Foulem had bailed the hosts out with a series of big saves. The Varsity Blues took advantage as Curtis Harvey went to the net and tipped a pass from Dean Klomp up over Da Silva for a brief 4-3 lead.
Toronto went on the power play looking to extend the margin but it was Guelph that equalized when O'Connor found McCutcheon for a timely shorthanded effort that made it 4-4 at 7:10 of the second period. O'Connor would then get in on the goal scoring at the 10:04 mark, putting the OUA West leaders in front for good.
"We settled down after the first period," Camp said. "The game was so back and forth in the first. In the second, we battled back again and once we got the lead, we took control of the game. We're continuing to score."
Camp knows the team has to play much sharper in its own end of the rink, like they did in the third, with the help of some big saves from Da Silva. There wasn't much in the way of sound defensive play in the opening period as the two teams combined for six goals, five of which came in a stretch of 10 minutes.
The Gryphons started well on the Varsity Arena ice, sending a few early shots Foulem's way before Winder would get them on the board. The rookie stripped the puck off a Toronto player and got one past Foulem 5:38 into the first for a 1-0 lead.
Swenson scored exactly four minutes later, completing a nice passing sequence, with Manny Gialedakisand Trevor Morbeck picking up assists. Toronto would get one back 38 seconds after Swenson's goal when Phil Chadder beat Da Silva though the momentum didn't last long. Sixty-one seconds later, Villeneuve gathered a puck to the right of Foulem and fired it into the net for a 3-1 lead.
Guelph has been scoring at an incredible rate of late but have allowed its fair share, as well. The Varsity Blues cut the lead back to a single goal when Max Lindsay scored with 5:21 left before the home team equalized in dramatic fashion. Toronto had a final rush up ice in the dying seconds of the period and while Da Silva made a great save on an initial shot, the rebound fell to Willy Paul, who quickly shot from the slot and scored with just 0.7 seconds left for a 3-3 tie after 20 minutes of play.

OSHAWA, Ont. – The UOIT men's hockey team was able to pull off an impressive 4-3 overtime victory against the UQTR Patriotes Friday night.
The Patriotes went into the game sitting in second place in the eastern conference, meanwhile the Ridgbeacks were sitting in seventh. Although, this seemed to have no effect on the Ridgebacks during Friday night's game even when they were down 3-2 late into the third period.
"Overall, I thought we played really well, we were able to bounce back when we gave up the lead late in the third," said head coach Curtis Hodgins. "The boys kept fighting and we found a way to win against a top team."
It was a very fast paced game for the whole 60-plus minutes, with there being no recorded penalties the whole night – until after the final goal in overtime. The first period ended goalless with the Ridgebacks outshooting the Patriotes 10-7.
UQTR jumped out to the early lead in the second period when Timothe Simard put one in the back of the net just 1:20 into the action. Moments later the Ridgebacks answered when Ben Blasko (Kingston, Ont.) beat the goalie top shelf to tie the game at one. Midway through the second the Ridgebacks scored again when Loren Ulett (Port Perry, Ont.) was able to beat both defenders and take the puck to the net for a one-on-one with the goaltender, which he won.
As the third period progressed, UQTR eventually got the jump on the Ridgebacks when a pass from behind the net resulted in a one-timer goal scored by Christophe Boivin. UQTR scored again just moments later when Mathieu Lemay deked his way through the Ridgebacks defencemen and buried the puck glove side, giving them back the lead.
When the result was not looking promising for the Ridgebacks, trailing 3-2 late into the third, Mike Robinson (Stouffville, Ont.) came to the rescue and tied the game up with just under two minutes left to go. Robinson is currently on a nine-game point streak, including his goal which is his 13th of the season and the two assists he picked up in Friday night's game.
"He has been producing a lot for us, he definitely has a knack for scoring goals and he's got some great hands. It's really great to see him step up and perform the way that he has been," said Hodgins.
As the game headed into overtime it only took 1:38 for Jesse Baird to take off on a breakaway and roof the puck over Sebastien Auger's shoulder to give the Ridgebacks the thrilling overtime win.
Other notable performances from Friday night's game came from Blasko who picked up a goal and an assist and goaltender Tyson Teichmann (Belleville, Ont.) who made a total of 21 saves.

Carleton 7 Ottawa 2
OTTAWA, ON — The Carleton Ravens men's hockey team trounced the cross-town rival uOttawa Gee-Gees 7-2 at Minto Sports Complex on Friday night.
Carleton, coming off a four-game losing streak, including a loss to the Gee-Gees in the Colonel By Classic, exploded in the first period scoring six of their seven goals in the first period.
The Ravens sniped their first three goals in the span of two minutes with a goal from Brett Welychka (London, ON) sandwiched between Jared Steege's (Cobden, ON) 12th and 13th markers, which leads the league for rookies.
That would be the end of the night for Gee-Gees starter Graham as he was replaced by Anthony Brodeur.
Brodeur would fair no better against the Ravens' high flying offence as he allowed a power play goal from Adam Chapman (Barrie, ON) one minute after replacing Hunt.
Two minutes later, Ryan Van Stralen added the first of his two on the night with Dalen Hedges (Ottawa, ON) and Travis Douglas (Osgoode, ON) getting assists.
Hedges added a goal of his own on the power play to close out Carleton's highest offensive period of the season.
Van Stralen added his second of the night and seventh of the season on the power play for Carleton to extended the lead to 7-0.
uOttawa scored two goals on the power play in the final six minutes of the game.
The game had a total of 36 penalty minutes with 18 a side and the Ravens finished 3-for-8 on the power play.
Second-year tender Francois Brassard (Gatineau, QC) stopped 34 of 36 shots for his eighth win of the campaign.

December 2, 2017
OSHAWA, Ont. – The UOIT men's hockey team won 3-2 on Saturday to sweep the UQTR Patriotes in back-to-back games, capping off the first semester with their eighth straight win.
The victory continues the Ridgebacks longest win streak in program history, which was previously set at five games to start their 2016-2017 season. It was also a major weekend as UOIT was 1-14 against UQTR all-time heading into Friday, with their first conference victory against the Patriotes coming in their final conference game of 2017.
"To finish with eight straight wins is great - at one point we were sitting at 2-5-1 - we have to give our hockey club full credit, the guys have really bought in to what we are doing here and it shows," said head coach Curtis Hodgins.
The Ridgebacks opened the scoring midway through the first period when Alex Yuill (Wellington, Ont.) scored on a power play. Nearing the end of the period UQTR answered with a goal of their own as Deven St-Hilaire fired the puck on net and it just snuck by goaltender, Brendan O'Neill(Ilderton, Ont.).
Heating up in the second, the Ridgebacks came out looking determined scoring twice, both coming off the stick of Malik Johnson (Montreal, Que.). The first one came from a wrist shot that made its way through both defencemen and Alexandre Belanger. Johnson's second goal was a bit harder to come by as he had to shake a defender off of him and drag the puck around Belanger in the crease to put the puck in the back of the net.
UOIT went into the third period with a two-goal lead and all things looked promising until just under 14 minutes had passed and UQTR scored. The goal came off of a Patriotes power play when Jason Lavallee blasted a slapshot from the point and into the back of the net. Despite UQTR pulling their goalie with 1:32 to go, the Ridgebacks were able to hold onto their lead until the end of the game.
A 33-save performance by O'Neill gave him his fourth win of the season helped the team to their eighth straight and 10th of the season.
"His performance was outstanding, he made great saves all game long even when we had the two- goal lead. I can't say enough about him and the way Teich played for us Friday night," said Hodgins.
Along with great goaltending performances the Ridgebacks have been doing an impressive job producing. In Saturday's game Ben Blasko (Kingston, Ont.) picked up two assists, increasing his point streak to seven games. Mike Robinson also picked up two assists as well now reaching a 10-game point streak.
The Ridgebacks are now in the holiday break and won't play again until January 5 when they face the Queen's Gaels on January 5 and 6 in Kingston.

Nipissing 3 McGill 4
MONTREAL -- Rookie Keanu Yamamoto of Spokane, Wash., tallied two goals, including the game-winner, as No.5 McGill wrapped up the first semester with a 4-3 win over the Nipissing University Lakers in OUA men's hockey at McConnell Arena, Saturday.
The Redmen outshot their guests 49-26 and improved their lifetime record to 21-4-0 overall against the Lakers.
McGill now enters the month-long exam and holiday break atop the OUA East division with a 15-3-0 record and 30 points in the standings, four ahead of Concordia (12-2-2), which holds two games in hand. The Redmen have won two of three regular season meetings with the Stingers and will confront them once more, on Feb. 9 in the annual Ronald Corey Cup rivalry game at the Loyola campus.
"It's been a good first half (of the season) for us," said head coach Kelly Nobes, who improved his record to 223-98-3 in 324 games overall behind the McGill bench. "Lots of growth for a group with a lot of young players. We set ourselves up for a good second half but that's where the real hockey's played. We've got some really tough opponents in the second half and a challenging playoff ahead of us, so that'll be the tale of the tape. That'll be where we'll see more growth, be battle-hardened and get ready for the playoffs."
The team could set a single-season record for wins -- surpassing their 24-2-2 mark attained in 2010-11 -- should they win all 10 of their remaining games (before playoffs). The Redmen offence currently ranks third in the OUA (4.17 goals per game), while the defence sits second (2.32 GAA).
"Our transition from offence to defence needs to be quicker, our play in our own end needs to be better, and that just comes with experience, time and playing better teams," offered Nobes, not content to sit back after the strong first half. "We still have more growth to do in those areas and we will (see it), because we've seen lots of maturing in our team so far and we expect that to continue."
Nipissing led 1-0 after the first period on a goal from Travis McEvoy at 5:26, but the middle frame was all McGill, which held a suffocating 29-3 advantage in shots on net. The school record for most shots in a period is 31 achieved on Jan. 14, 2000 in the middle frame of a 13-0 whitewash against RMC.
Yamamoto, a 5-foot-7, 166-pound forward, was playing in front of his parents for the first time this season as they made the long trek in from Spokane, Wash. He tied things up just 66 seconds into the second period and Jerome Verrier of Drummondville, Que., put the Redmen ahead 47 seconds after that. It was the sixth marker of the season for Verrier, who sits third in the OUA scoring race with 27 points in 18 games.
Teammate Frederic Gamelin of St. Polycarpe, Que., added a power-play marker at 7:37 and Yamamoto closed things out with 27 seconds left in the stanza, registering his seventh goal and 15th point in 18 contests.
Lakers top point-scoring forward Erik Robichaud cut the lead in half with his sixth goal, on the man-advantage, only 45 seconds into the third. That snapped McGill's penalty-killing streak at 27 consecutive manpower situations.
Nipissing's Tyler Brown made it 4-3 at 10:03 and the Lakers pulled their goalie for an extra attacker in the final minute but couldn't get the equalizer.
McGill goaltender Louis-Philip Guindon of St. Joseph du Lac, Que., turned away 23 of 26 pucks as his record improved to 12-3 on the season. He leads all OUA goalies in wins, ranks fourth in goals-against average (2.23) and owns a .922 save percentage.
Nipissing's Brent Moran made 45 saves on 49 shots in a losing effort as his record tumbled to 3-8.
The Redmen were 1-for-5 on the power play and 3-for-4 on the penalty-kill. McGill's PP now ranks 15th in the league at 15.3 per cent, while the PK unit is second in the OUA and seventh in the nation with an 89.0 per cent success rate.
"You never know how guys are going to adjust to the league," noted Nobes, whose roster features seven freshmen, eight sophomores. eight juniors and five seniors. "We're pretty happy with the way that our younger guys have stepped up and have quickly adapted to the pace of our league, and how much we're getting contributions from everybody. Our offence is very spread out and that's a credit to our veteran players who are getting better, but also to our young guys that have gotten better as we've played our 24 games (including preseason)."

Carleton 3 RMC 0
OTTAWA, ON — The Carleton Ravens men's hockey team defeated the RMC Paladins, 3-0, at Constantine Arena in Kingston on Saturday night in their last game before the holiday break.
The Ravens' evening got off to slow start, with bus trouble on the way to Kingston delaying the start of the contest and resulting in a lacklustre first period effort from the visitors.
The first stanza finished scoreless with Carleton being outshot 11-6.
Early in the second, with the Ravens on the power play, Fabian Walsh (Gloucester, ON) snuck a wrist shot through a tight window past Paladins starter Daniel Vautour for the 1-0 lead.
The Ravens held the 1-0 lead with goalie Matthew Jenkins (Charlottetown, PEI) staying sharp and stopping some dangerous RMC chances. Carleton fired 14 shots on the Paladin net in the period.
At the end of the second, Carleton forward Brett Gustavsen (Scarborough, ON) was assessed a five-minute boarding penalty and handed a game misconduct.
On penalty kill, Brett Welychka (London, ON) stripped the Paladins of the puck at the Ravens' blueline, sped in on Vautour, outwaited the keeper, then tucked it in the net for the 2-0 lead.
The Paladins called a timeout with 39 seconds remaining in the third with the goalie pulled and a faceoff in the Carleton end but Ryan Van Stralen (Prescott, ON) put the end to any chance of an RMC comeback firing the puck into the empty net.
Third-year netminder Jenkins stopped all 38 shots from the Paladins earning his first ever U SPORTS shutout in his first start of the year.
Ravens head coach Shaun Van Allen praised his team's efforts in the win.
"I thought this was a real character win for us tonight," said Van Allen. "We didn't get there till late and sometimes in the last game before the break, it is easy for guys to lose focus. I thought we did a really good job competing with an RMC team that battles hard."

Toronto 2 Brock 4
The Brock University men's hockey team defeated the University of Toronto Varsity Blues by the score of 4-2 Saturday night at the Seymour Hannah Centre.
The Badgers opened the scoring eight minutes into the first period as Matt MacLeod and Adam Lloyd set up Patrick Volpe for his first goal of the season.
Brock would take a 2-0 lead seven minutes into the second period as Chris Maniccia and Brody Silk found Jeff Corbett who beat Toronto starter Michael Nishi for his second goal of the campaign.
Toronto would get on the board 1:37 into the third period as Max Lindsay set up Matt Campagna for his second goal of the season. Brock would regain the two goal lead at the 5:33 mark as Nate Looysen recorded his second goal of the season with Ayden MacDonald and Josh Timpano adding the assists. Midway through the third, Toronto's Justin Brand added a power-play marker to make it 3-2. With the goalie pulled, Brock would add an empty netter with seven seconds left in regulation as MacDonald added his seventh goal of the season.
In goal, Clint Windsor recorded 23 saves for the victory, as he moved into a tie for second all-time in Brock career victories with 30. Toronto's Nishi recorded 27 saves in the loss.

York 2 Ryerson 5
TORONTO – In a rematch against a cross-town rival, the Rams offense proved to be too much this time around for the visiting York Lions, as they came away with a 5-2 win on Saturday night at the Mattamy Athletic Centre. With the win, the Rams firmly established themselves in second place in the OUA's Western conference.
Going into Saturday night's game, the Rams had just come off of a four-game road trip that saw them acquire five out of a possible eight points.
While Ryerson would be the team to eventually come away with the win, it would be York that would be the first team to place themselves on the scoreboard. Eleven minutes into the evening's opening period, Lions forward Reid Jackman (Etobicoke, Ont.) would open up the scoring. Fortunately for the Rams, freshman forward Cavin Leth (Taber, Alta.) would have an answer, tying up the scoreboard just a minute later off of a powerplay goal. In the dying minutes of the first period, Lions forward Scott Feser (Red Deer, Alta.) would tuck in his teams second, and final goal, on the evening to give York the lead heading into the intermission.
Coming back onto the ice for the second period, the Rams would play with the level of intensity that they have become notorious for throughout the league. Eight minutes into the period, Mitchell Skapski (Abbotsford, B.C.) would contribute his second goal of the season, off of a spinning backhand in the slot, to even up the scoreboard at two goals a piece. Not to be outdone, Figliomeni would similarly tap in his second goal on the season to give the Rams their first lead of the evening three minutes later. And, of course, no Ryerson scoring-streak would be complete without Leth making a contribution as the freshman, whose name has become synonymous with multi-goal game performances, tucked away his second goal on the evening with five-minutes left to play in the period.
With Ryerson up 4-2 with one period left to play, it would be up to their defensive effort to maintain the lead. This, however, proved to be little trouble for the Rams, as the improvements they have made to their defensive-play relegated much of the third period's play to the neutral zone. With Ryerson netminder Taylor Dupuis (New Liskeard, Ont.) preventing all of York's 11 third-period shot attempts from finding the twine, it would remain 4-2 throughout the final 20 minutes of play, until Leth fired home his third-goal of the night on an empty net with just 30-seconds left to play.
When asked about whose performance stood out to him the most evening Brooks selected defenseman Jared Walsh (Toronto, Ont.), stating "he makes all the plays defensively, and he's depended on…he does all the little things so well."
Of special note throughout the past few games, and in tonight's game in particular, are the scoring contributions of Ryerson players who are seldom seen on the score sheet. In the past two games alone, Walsh, Figliomeni, Andrew Mullen (Toronto, Ont.) and Mitchell Skapski (Abbotsford, B.C) have all contributed either their first or second goal of the season in two consecutive Rams victories.

Laurentian 4 Concordia 9
On Saturday night, the Voyageurs men's hockey team lost their final game of the first half of the season 9-4 against the Concordia Stingers.
The first period was a scoring exhibition for both teams. The Voyageurs kicked things off by way of Kaden Ruest on the powerplay as he beat Marc-Antoine Turcotte on the powerplay at 7:07. Russell Nowry and Brent Pedersen assisted on the play.
Concordia answered with a tying goal just over a minute later as the Stingers got a powerplay goal of their own when Alexis Pepin scored at 8:28.
Just over a minute after that, the Voyageurs regained their one goal lead when Cray Roberge scored at 9:38 giving the Vees a 2-1 lead. Pedersen picked up his second assist of the period on the goal.
The Vees then followed up their goal with another, this time shorthanded by way of Danny Lepage at 11:15, yet again assisted by Pedersen.
The Stingers, clearly motivated by the Voyageurs early effort, stormed back in the remaining eight minutes of the first period with five unanswered goals.
Massima Carozza first brought Concordia back within one at 12:27 on the powerplay.
Just over a minute after that, Scott Oke tied the game at 3-3 with the Stingers still on the powerplay.
In the final four minutes, the Stingers would score three more goals with the final two coming on the powerplay. Concordia got their goals from Phillippe Charbonneau, Phillippe Sanche, and another from Oke. Concordia took their 6-3 lead into the first intermission.
The Voyageurs came out strong to start the second period as Richard Therrien scored at 5:19 to bring the Vees within two and the score to 6-4.
However, the Stingers again responded with a cluster of unanswered goals.
Charles-Eric Legare scored at 8:28 to restore the Stingers' three goal advantage.
Shorly after that, Pepin scored his second of the game at 10:18 for Concordia's eigth goal of the evening.
Anthony Beauregard would add his first of the game nearing the end of the second period and sending both teams into the second intermission with Concordia leading 9-4.
Both teams seemed to be all tapped out offensively after the flurry of action in the first 40 minutes as neither team managed to get on the board in the third period.

Guelph 1 Windsor 4
The Lancer men's hockey team split their final two games of 2017. Windsor fell 7-3 to the Western Mustangs Friday night before rebounding on Saturday to defeat the Guelph Gryphons 4-1 at South Windsor Arena.
Windsor heads into the break with 6-6-4 record and are in sixth place in the OUA west division.
Lancer goaltender Jonathan Reinhart had a day between the pipes, stopping all but one of the 22 shots that came his way. Jason Da Silva stopped 20 of the 24 shots he faced for Guelph.
The Lancers had a great day from their special teams. The penalty kill was plus one as they netted a short-handed goal, without surrendering one. The power play got the job done as well with the unit scoring on one of its five outings.
The Lancers accumulated 25 minutes of penalties in the win. The Gryphons were slightly more disciplined, only spending 14 minutes in the sin bin.
The first period was a hotly contested one, with both teams struggling to assert themselves early. The Lancers got on the board late in the first period when Jake Brown beat Jason Da Silva with help from Konner Haas and Adam Burnett at the 18:52 mark. The Lancers took the 1-0 lead into the intermission.
In the second period the Lancers came out as the better team, finally starting to control the pace of the game. Near the eight-minute mark the Lancers added some insurance to their lead when Kody Gagnon scored with assists from Blake Blondeel and Todd Ratchford. Later in the period, Kyle Hopeblew the game open with a shorthanded goal for the Lancers, pushing their lead to 3-0 going into the second intermission.
In the third the Gryphons broke Jonathan Reinhart's shut out effort when Seth Swenson scored at the 3:28 mark of the final period. Shortly thereafter, the Lancers restored their lead to three when Chris Scott beat Da Silva on a power play at the 6:50 mark. The Lancers went on to win 4-1 and the Gryphons lost for the first time in nine games.

Ottawa 2 Queen's 3
KINGSTON, Ont. (December 2nd, 2017) – The Queen's Gaels (9-4-3) earned a come from behind 3-2 overtime victory on Saturday night over the Ottawa Gee-Gees (8-4-3). After Slater Doggett (Oakville, Ont.) tied the game for Queen's in the third period, Darcy Greenaway(Wilton, Ont.) ended the game with a beautiful individual effort with less than two minutes remaining in the extra frame.
The first period was a defensive battle as neither team wanted to give up an inch in the defensive end. Ottawa outshot the Gaels 13-12 but many of the shots for both sides were from the outside, in non-dangerous spots. Gaels goaltender Kevin Bailie (Belleville, Ont.) was strong on a few instances in the opening frame, stopping the Gee-Gees every time they had a close encounter. Ottawa netminder Anthony Brodeur was also solid in the opening frame, turning aside all 12 Gaels shots. The two teams would head into the first intermission tied 0-0.
Queen's got the second period started on the right foot just over six minutes in when Alex Row (Elizabethtown, Ont.) notched his first career U Sports goal on a feed from Ben Fanjoy (Ottawa, Ont.). Ottawa answered back just over a minute later when Jonathan Bourcier finished off a tic-tac-toe play to beat Bailie and tie the score 1-1. Then, late in the period, Ottawa was able to beat Bailie once again with a quick play off of a faceoff that Connor Sills finished off to take a 2-1 lead into the break.
After leaving the game in the second period with an apparent injury, Gaels leading goal scorer Doggett returned in the third period just in time to save the game for the Gaels. He buried his tenth of the season at 4:16 of the third period to tie the game 2-2 and give the Gaels new life. The teams would trade chances for the remainder of the third, with neither side being able to add another goal, forcing overtime.
With less than two minutes remaining in overtime, Greenaway took the puck from his own end, skated all the way up ice past two Gee-Gees players and wristed a laser behind Brodeur to complete the comeback and send the Gaels home with a well-deserved 3-2 victory. The goal was Greenaway's tenth of the season.
Bailie earned the win in net for Queen's with 30 saves while Brodeur took the loss in net for Ottawa, registering 37 saves.

PC Game(Racing)!! ~ New ThinGs place
NK Pro racing game Review: NKPro is one of the very realistic racing game simulators of this year. Welcome to the eighth mega compilation of Linux games. Ivan supplies pretty good justification for riding the Giro since he's not raced in 7 months, he desires a long hard race in his legs prior to the Tour. The only way ensure they continue to have excellent acess for their audience, and to shield that goal, has been to make their TBR Race Report with the doping coverage. Take a look at their Levi interview, posting shortly. The Queen Anne Stakes is a flat, Group 1 horse race.
Nonetheless, this is more than justified by the excellent real-time multiplayer functionality which (on your broadband connection) was smooth even with virtually every accessible track being concurrently raced by players. All in all though, this really is an interesting little racer having an easy premise but of being multiplayer, the added depth. Following that mathematical advancement, this time the veteran racer is aiming for the top step in the podium.
Every case is different and it is therefore strongly advised that the event appoint a jury of appeals - three is recommended - to review any class-related problems on race day. Globe's Tonino Lamborghini Tattoo broadband stick features the Italy-based business's name and logo, and has racer Marlon Stockinger as an endorser. For using the Italian trademark on a line of broadband sticks promising fast connections. Again, they're going to show the race from beginning to end.
Directlink offers wireless options covering the greater Denver region, for cities using point-to-point point and -to-multipoint applications that satisfies the broadband starving clients who demand telephone installation and a dependable connection. Relish Catering & Events is pleased to be the exclusive caterer for race events and the preferred caterer for private events at The Track at Centennial.
Forthe Eurocom Racer 2.0 is one tricked-out gaming notebook/desktop replacement that produces solid performance and graphics with a matte display. Nevertheless, gamers searching for a reliable gaming rig that's more streamlined but still big on power should read the Eurocom Racer 2.0. The speed Racer episodes offered on Movielink will probably be packaged together and leased as 1 1/2 to two-hour segments.
In race entry materials, or at a pre-race technical assembly, make sure you advise opponents of color as well as the kind of the flagging used to mark the trail and just how frequently it'll be discovered along the course. Some race directors fail to indicate their lessons if it seems evident that no erroneous turn can possibly be made. The course needs to be rechecked for consistent mark and pitfalls on race day before the starter's gun is fired.

Who's the master of Puerto Rico? Governor Garcia-Padilla or the credit rating agencies?
via Jorge Banilla. Press closed captions for an English translation.
My Twitter thread was abuzz today with tweets about the comments made by Puerto Rico Governor, Alejandro García Padilla about the credit rating agencies (all of whom give PR the lowest investment grade rating of BBB- or Baa3):
@cate_long @edwinpr51 He said that he won't let PR default, however,he won't let the rating agencies run the country. Get it right!
— Antonio L. Pereira(@pnf_phytrade) April 2, 2013
Pathetic to see Gov. @agarciapadilla lashing out at ratings agencies just as his workgroup is headed to NY for crucial meetings #Incompetent
— Edwin Rodriguez (@edwinpr51) April 2, 2013
Note to #muniland & beyond: Picking fights w/ credit rating agencies when you have massive debt load that needs to be rolled is ill advised.
— Cate Long (@cate_long) April 2, 2013
From the Puerto Rico paper Vocero, via a not-quite-perfect Google Translate translation, here's an account of what Garcia Padilla said:
GUÁNICA-Governor Alejandro Garcia Padilla, lashed out today against the houses accrediting Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch, on the ground that have been unfair to Puerto Rico.
García Padilla cited the famous song of the Mexican band rock Mana and said "I better what you think of me" accrediting houses.
The Governor went further and urged accreditors to run in the next election if they want to govern the country.
An audio recording of the governor's comments in Spanish is available from NotiUno.com.
It's exceptionally odd for any municipal official to publicly criticize rating agencies. I heard a little of it when raters downgraded European countries but have rarely heard it in the US. When I first read these comments it made me think that Garcia Padilla was perhaps lashing out ahead of a downgrade as a preemptive strike.
Meanwhile, the PR Legislature passed two versions of pension reform yesterday that need to be reconciled. Noticias 24/7 reported (again via Google Translate):
Senate Bill 421, authored by the PDP senators, introduced several amendments to the existing law on the retirement system for public employees, defines the Hybrid Defined Contribution Program, amends the definition of normal retirement date, increases the minimum pension to $500, establishes the rules governing when a pensioner re-enters the service, increases the retirement age, sets the treatment of accrued benefits of pensioners and participants.
Typically pension changes of this sort do little to change current payments in the pension system but do create savings in out years. Pension reform has been a big issue for all the rating agencies since the pension system is near broke. And it will be up to the Garcia Padilla administration to prove that these changes are enough to get the pension funding on solid footing.
Garcia Padilla knows in his heart that rating agencies direct the fate of his nation as much as he does. Many masters rule and in tough times all must work together.

Governor Garcia Padilla used a phrase used in Mexico (not in Puerto Rico) as "me vale" to refer to what the credit agencies should say about him.
The translation of "me vale" to English is equivalent to "I don't give a darn about..". And I emphasize about the use of "darn" as the phrase in Spanish implies a strong term but without actually using it (as happens with the English word as well).
What the Governor said translates as "I don't care what they think of me."
The full translation of what the Governor said is this: "I don't care what they think of me. I have to deal with what they think about Puerto Rico's credit because they are the rating agencies. But let them govern? Again, if any of them wants to govern, the elections are in 2016. Found a political party or join the one that was going to do what they wanted."

For many people a diagnosis of fibromyalgia is a relief. There is typically a 2 to 3 year gap between the onset of symptoms and diagnosis. This time-frame is getting shorter as there are now more concise diagnostic tests. Getting your doctor to recognize your symptoms as potentially indicating fibromyalgia is important. The reality is that sometimes they have to wait for a cluster of symptoms to appear before they will be able to order any of the new tests.
What is fibromyalgia?
Answering this question has suddenly become more difficult for doctors. For years, fibromyalgia was defined as a syndrome – not a disease. This meant there were a cluster of symptoms that appeared and indicated there was an underlying , but un-diagnosed cause. Fibromyalgia typically causes widespread joint and muscle pain, fatigue and cognitive issues. The new diagnostic tests have determined that there is an identifiable change in brain functioning with fibromyalgia that effects how the body's endocrine and immune system work. It is not yet known if this is a symptom or the cause of fibromyalgia. If it is identified as a cause then the syndrome will be reclassified as a disease.
Who gets fibromyalgia?
People suffering from fibromyalgia come in all different shapes and sizes. It affects people of all ages and can be very detrimental to their quality of life. Some of the more common symptoms including pain, excessive tiredness, and fibro fog are well known, but there are a lot more symptoms and related conditions that people might not be aware of. The causes of fibromyalgia are not known, but suggested. Family history plays a role, as does prior illness or injury. Stress and depression are also thought to be potential triggers for the disease.
Whether you are male or female will change your symptoms too
Once considered a "white woman's disease," new evidence shows that more people of all races and both genders are affected. The issue was that the symptoms presented by men can be much different from those presented by women. With this new awareness, more men are being diagnosed with the condition. Not only does this mean that more people are now getting help with their chronic pain and fatigue, but that more money will become available for research on treatments and cures too.
The general symptoms
Here is a list of the general symptoms associated with fibromyalgia. One of the best things that you can do to improve your chances of getting properly diagnosed is to keep a symptom diary. Make a note each day of the following:
- What symptom(s) you had?
- What the weather was like?
- What time?
- How long?
- What you ate/drank during the day?
- What activities were you doing?
- What your sleep was like?
All of this will help your doctor make a diagnosis and to create a treatment plan for you. While there are many medications you can help with the chronic pain of fibromyalgia, there are also lifestyle changes that can help you control your symptoms too. Many people don't realize that there are foods that cause fibromyalgia flares; learn what they are and you can reduce your pain even before you have the confirmed diagnosis. Making lifestyle changes can also be helpful as many of the habits that can aggravate fibromyalgia symptoms can also aggravate other conditions.
Here is a list of the general symptoms of fibromyalgia:
– Headaches – Migraine-like headaches and pressure headaches similar to sinus headaches are a very common symptom for fibromyalgia. They are usually accompanied by a marked sensitivity to light and sound, as well as tinnitus.
– Pain – Chronic pain in the muscles and joints is considered to be the hallmark symptom of fibromyalgia. The pain differs from that of osteoarthritis as it is not limited to the joints, but felt all over the body. It is described as being a gnawing, burning, sore, throbbing, aching and tender pain that is felt even in the soft tissue. The pain may increase with weather changes and with certain foods.
– Tender points – A common symptom of fibromyalgia, and the part that usually helps doctors diagnose it, are tender points. These are localized painful areas around the joints that hurt when they are touched. These are normal pressure points to someone without fibromyalgia, but to someone with it pushing on these points can be very painful.
– Anxiety – Emotional symptoms can include panic attacks and anxiety that isn't associated with anything. You might experience crying at the drop of a hat, extreme mood swings, and irritability for no reason. The anxiety comes in two ways. The first is as a result of the chemical changes in the body that indicate the presence of fibromyalgia, and the second is from the stress of experiencing symptoms without any idea what has caused them before diagnosis.
– Cognitive problems – These are some of the most troubling symptoms to experience. They can mimic a stroke like confusion, directional disorientation, poor coordination and balance, short term memory loss, and the inability to recognize your surroundings. There can also be tingling and burning in your extremities and the loss of your ability to see some colors. People might stare into space for a bit before they feel their brain start working. One manifestation that people experience is commonly referred to as the "fibro fog." The person wakes and never feels as if they have woken up the whole day as they have a difficulty concentrating and focusing.
– Depression – It is not clear whether or not depression is a symptom of fibromyalgia, or if it is an associated condition. Periods of depression, or the development of chronic depression may indicate the presence of fibromyalgia. Many of the same neuro-chemical disruptions that are thought to increase symptoms are also associated with depression. It is also common for those with the condition to develop depression for many reasons.
– Fatigue – Fatigue can show itself in several different ways when you have fibromyalgia. You can be too fatigued to start or finish a project. You can be really tired after finishing a project or even doing something mundane like dusting the living room. You can be too fatigued to exercise and even to function at work. It can be very hard for someone to move around and live a normal life when they are tired all the time. People have likened the fatigue they feel with fibromyalgia to be like the flu, but the flu never goes away.
– Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) – Digestive issues are considered to be co-occurring with fibromyalgia. The most common one is the development of IBS.
– Stiffness – Joint and muscle stiffness, most commonly in the morning is experienced by both men and women. There also may be other periods of prolonged stiffness in which there is no related cause for the difficulty in movement.
– Painful menstrual cramps – It is not uncommon for women with fibromyalgia to experience painful menstrual cramps, bloating, gas or heavy bleeding too. One of the overlapping conditions can include tender and lumpy breasts which are called fibromyalgia cystic and severe PMS Changes in your period should be noted and reported to both your GP and OB-GYN.
– Difficulty sleeping – Sleep can be disrupted by the pain and shortness of breath that comes along with fibromyalgia but there are also symptoms that make it difficult to sleep. This includes a broken pattern of sleep, starts or the sensation of falling, twitching muscles and allergy issues. The main reason sleep is disturbed in people who have fibromyalgia is because of bursts of brain activity happening while you are asleep. This is something that happens often when you are awake, but when it happens at night you are constantly being woken up throughout the night. You don't realize it which is why you wonder what is making you so sleepy in the morning. If you had a full night's sleep you should be well rested.
- Numbness, and tingling
- Frequent or painful urination
Different symptom clusters for men
Men experience many of the same symptoms, but fewer symptoms overall than women. Chronic fatigue, muscle/pain, IBS and restless leg syndrome (RLS) are found in most men who are diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Women rarely have RLS as a part of the symptom cluster. Recognition of the syndrome in men and how it presents itself is still new. There are many doctors who are unaware of how the symptoms can occur in their male patients. Do not hesitate to offer your doctor information, or to find a new doctor if you feel that would be a better choice.
More unusual symptoms
There are other symptoms that may be associated with fibromyalgia, but they occur rarely. It is important to remember that one symptom never indicates fibromyalgia; it is the presence of many. Some of the rarer symptoms you might have with fibromyalgia include cravings for carbs or chocolate. They can also include a difference in weight either up or down. Your vision might change including getting a lot worse. There might be some uncontrollable sweating and stiffness in the morning. The pain that you feel can go from severe to mild depending upon the day. You might also find that your muscles twitch. Allergy problems can also increase, especially a sensitivity to yeast or mold; sinus drainage, ear pressure, tinnitus and thick mucus secretions.
Some of the other weird symptoms associated with fibromyalgia include pain in your scalp feeling like your hair is being pulled from your head, spacing out, hallucinating smells, lightheadedness, and seizures. You might experience vertigo when you have fibromyalgia which will make it difficult to walk around and do some of the things you love to do. You also can experience chest pain or tightness that mimics a heart attack. This is called costochondritis.
You might find that you are sensitive to noise, light, odors, and any changes in pressure, humidity, or temperature. People with fibromyalgia might find that they have a hard time driving at night.
Other physical symptoms that show up with fibromyalgia may include changes to the surface of your skin. It can become mottled and it might bruise or scar easily. You might have tissue overgrowth resulting in lipomas, ingrown hairs, splitting cuticles, and adhesions. Your nails can curve under and you might have pronounced nail ridges. You can experience hair loss that is temporary. Random symptoms include hemorrhoids, cold hands and feet, hypoglycemia, intense thirst, low blood pressure, low body temperature, noisy joints, eye dryness and nose bleeds that can come on at any time.
What are the treatments for fibromyalgia?
The basic treatment is to use a variety of medications to reduce the symptoms and bring pain under control. The medications used may vary from person to person as everyone has a different cluster set of symptoms. There are many lifestyle changes, alternative treatments and diet changes that have also proven successful in reducing the impact of fibromyalgia on your life.
The worst thing you can do is self-diagnose
The Internet should be used as a resource to help you educate yourself about possibilities, and to learn about lifestyle changes and possible treatments. You should never decide that you have fibromyalgia based upon what you have read. Many of the symptoms can also indicate life threatening conditions. Your doctor can order tests to help determine the issue. There is now a blood test for fibromyalgia that can help identify its presence in some people. Be educated, but always consult with your physician when you notice any symptoms appearing. Once you have a diagnosis, you can explore all the treatments and therapies together. While there is no cure for fibromyalgia, there is no reason for you to suffer a loss of quality in your life.

Mediterranean Pepper Salad
I'm still eating my daily salad for the salad challenge and will post a roundup of the past week on Sunday. But for now I will post about this other really yummy salad as I want to make sure I get in on Jacqueline and Lisa's No Croutons Required pepper challenge!
Since it's been so hot here I've been craving salads a lot so I've gone through many different salad recipes over the last while. This one is a definite favourite. I've made it 3 times so far (which is a lot for me) and plan to make it many many more times. I've always wanted to make Greek salad at home but never knew how (which sounds kind of ridiculous because really, how hard is it?) - and now I feel like I've found it. Though it doesn't have any oregano, and Greek salad doesn't seem to usually have peppers. I liked eating a big bowl of this with a savoury muffin for a meal. And this salad has also made me realize how much I prefer cubes of feta to crumbles. With cubes you get a nice bite of flavourful feta - versus crumbles where you can barely taste it unless you add a ton.
If this sounds good, you might also like:
French Barley Salad

Santa Fe Pasta Salad
Mediterranean Pepper Salad
Adapted from Smitten Kitchen
Makes 4 meal size servings.
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup cold water
1 tsp salt
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 a red onion, cut into a 1/2-inch dice (use less if your onion is huge)
3 bell peppers, your choice of colors (I used one red, orange and yellow)
4 roma tomatoes (or 1 cup grape tomatoes)
1/2 long english cucumber
1/4-pound firm feta cheese
1/4 to 1/2 cup pitted sliced kalamata olives
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Swish together the red wine vinegar, water, kosher salt and sugar in a small bowl until the salt and sugar are dissolved. Add the red onion and set it aside.
Meanwhile, time to practice your knife skills. Core and seed your bell peppers and chop them into 1/2-inch pieces. Chop the tomatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. Chop the cucumber and feta into similarly-sized chunks. Put your peppers, cucumber, feta and olives in a large bowl.
By now, your onions will have lightly pickled, both sweetening and softening their blow. Drain them and add them to the other vegetables in the large bowl, but reserve the vinegar mixture. Pour a quarter cup of the vinegar mixture over the salad, then drizzle with olive oil. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper, or to taste. Toss evenly and serve at once, or let the flavors muddle together in the fridge for a few hours.

This first ZooFish Arts project at St Ann's Hospital came to an end on 6th December with a temporary exhibition in the meeting room. Great to see the work hung, and a pleasure really that most of the participants couldn't be there because they had moved on and left the Hospital's care…. Working with Mike Oates, Chaplain, and the OT staff of the hospital the 10 week project created new work to install either around the grounds or in the new Reception area.
The two mosaic seats at the heart of this project wil be installed in the next week or so in the hospital grounds – we hope to be able to make more in 2014.
Thanks to staff and other service users who did enjoy a glass of fizzy grape juice with us and a tour of the work. Especial thanks to Mike, Debbie, Ali, and all the OT staff who made this possible.
ZooFish have more funding to start a second project at the hospital in January 2014. We have lots of ideas for new and different work – including print making and more ceramics – in the meantime these images will give a flavour of what the first group achieved.
And some images or work in progress…

I was looking through the September issue of Canadian House and Home today and came across my dream house! An eco-friendly, sleek, modern, pre-fabricated house that is available in Canada (many fre-fabricated houses are not suited for the Canadian weather). My love of pre-fabricated houses started about a year ago when my partner showed me some images online. I was amazed by the clean modern looks these homes had, the ease with which can can be assembled in different configurations to suit your needs, and to top it off they cost about the same (in some cases much less than) your average home. The fre-fab house that caught my attention today is designed by architect Ray Kappe and can be purchased through Toronto-based Nexterra Green Homes. Now all I need is to find a fantastic piece of land in Vancouver and make this dream a reality!

Brandon "Buggzy" Wilson
Brandon "Buggzy" Wilson is one of the Counselors in Friday the 13th: The Game, and is nicknamed "The Jock".[1] He can be unlocked at Level 8.
Overview[edit | edit source]
Brandon "Buggzy" Wilson is the strongest of all the counselors and he has the energy to stick in the fight! With a high Stamina & Strength stat, we have our heavy-hitter of the crew. Brandon plays multiple sports and maintains a high GPA as well. In a well-rounded group, if Buggzy goes down swinging, it's time for you to run for your life![1]
Gameplay[edit | edit source]
Brandon excels at three things: fighting Jason, running to make a tactical retreat, and escorting a VIP. His maxed strength stat is his defining point, making him a very capable brawler. Combined with high stamina, he's a counselor well suited for fight and flight instead of being forced to choose between the two.
It should be noted he doesn't play very well as a "lone wolf," however. His terrible stealth makes it easy for Jason to find you while moving, and his below average composure means it doesn't take long for Brandon to become frightened if you're not careful. On top of all this, his awful repair stat means he depends on his team for fixing objectives. In short, Brandon doesn't stand a good chance surviving by running down the clock, so work with your team to fix an objective ASAP.
His true potential is realized when there is a member on the team who designates themselves as a part runner. Since Brandon is fast; strong; and doesn't get exhausted easily, he can serve as a bodyguard to ensure necessary parts reach a group's chosen objective. An ideal partner is the counselor Vanessa: she boasts the highest speed in the game, and will not become exhausted quickly while on the move. Working alongside her will help keep Brandon's fear under control, and neither of them are worried about stealth to begin with. Alternatively, if the part runner focuses on stealth, Brandon can consider being a decoy to lure Jason's attention away (unless the part runner feels safer with Brandon sticking by them).
While he is an excellent fighter, keep in mind only Tommy Jarvis can finish off Jason for good, so Brandon should be careful when choosing his fights. The more damage he inflicts on Jason, the quicker Jason's Rage ability will activate, which will make survival very difficult for counselors who are still alive.
Since he can inflict a considerable amount of damage on Jason quickly, he's a star choice for team comps who plan on killing Jason. As a result, certain high damage/low stun weapons (e.g. machete) can be useful if he's fighting Jason with a group. Since Jason cannot grab your teammates safely while fighting multiple people (since one of them could easily stun Jason while he's vulnerable), he'll be forced to take you on in combat, giving you a better shot at demasking him. But this also brings great danger to Brandon, so make sure some of your teammates arm themselves with high stun potential weapons in case something goes wrong.
Due to his unfortunately low luck, weapons with weak durability can break easily; players should search for durable weapons. Firearms are another good choice, but it might be a better option to give them to fellow counselors who aren't very good at fighting. This way, you have more teammates who can protect you if you're in a serious pinch, and Brandon can hold his own in a fight with decent melee weapons.
Never get overconfident; ambush Jason if possible, or simply run to avoid danger altogether (so long as the VIP can escape as well).
Virtual Cabin 2.0[edit | edit source]
In the Virtual Cabin, he and Chad can be found on the second floor overlooking the living room. After Jason breaks out of his display case, Buggzy's headless corpse is found slumped over the railing.
Appearance[edit | edit source]
|This article is a stub. You can help Friday the 13th: The Game Wiki by expanding it.
Brandon wears a varsity jacket with the number "26" on his right sleeve; this is likely his given number when playing sports. Since he has a large letter on the front of his jacket complete with images of an American football as well as a basketball, this indicates he played on both the varsity American football team as well as varsity basketball for his high school as a senior (since American high school students normally get their varsity jackets during their final year of high school). Also he is a very muscular guy.
He has additional cosmetics unlocked from purchasing Downloadable Content.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Brandon Wilson is also one of the four Kickstarter backers who donated $10,000 to be put in the game as a counselor. The others being Adam, Kenny, and Eric.
- Brandon is one of the four characters that did not appear in the beta, the others being Adam, Eric, and (technically) Tommy Jarvis.
- Brandon is voiced by Zeno Robinson.

Silver Linings Emerge Despite Challenges in Houston Office Market
April 5, 2017
By: Ronnie Deyo, executive vice president and office team lead, JLL Houston
Despite increased optimism across the city, the Houston office market has a long road ahead before it works its way through the excess supply of space that has accumulated over the last two years.
A long road ahead
Large amounts of space continue to arrive to market. Nine blocks of space of more than 100,000 square feet came to market in the first quarter of 2017. As a result, total vacancy rose for the ninth consecutive quarter to 20.9 percent. Net absorption naturally followed suit, remaining negative for the fifth consecutive quarter to the tune of more than 500,000 square feet. The domino effect continued, and the market saw average asking rents fall by 1 percent quarter-over-quarter.
Supply-side silver linings
In the midst of these challenges, silver linings have emerged. Sublease space contracted for the second consecutive quarter, settling at 11.3 million square feet. Houston is still home to the largest sublease inventory in the nation, but the decrease is a step in the right direction after sublease space peaked at 12.2 million square feet in the third quarter of 2016.
Houston's diminishing construction pipeline also provides hope for a shift in market conditions. At just 3.2 million square feet, Houston's office pipeline is at its lowest level since the third quarter of 2012. The reduced pipeline should ease the supply problems facing the market.
What we can expect in 2017
Given that leasing activity has underperformed its ten-year quarterly average for the past five quarters, there is no question the market has its work cut out on the demand side. While the supply side of the market provides a more optimistic reading, conditions will likely continue on their current path throughout 2017 but with less severity than what Houston experienced in 2015 and 2016.

Increase Your Knowledge of Veterinary Care Research
History of Veterinary Medicine
According to the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, the history of veterinary medicine goes back to 3000BC. So having specialists to care and treat animals isn't a modern phenomenon. But it wasn't until the 1700's that the first veterinary medicine schools were established permanently. And in the 1840's the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons was established and the first registers of members created. So in the scheme of things, not that long ago.
You maybe surprised that the majority of vets in the earlier days of the veterinary profession only treated horses. This is because horses were really important to communities and societies as a whole. Horse power was how people survived and thrived, in the days before mechanisation and cars. So having veterinary surgeons to look after precious horses was vital. Advances in professional veterinary care for small animals didn't really happen until the 1930's, when the use of horses by communities declined. [Note - in many countries the equine (whether horse, donkey or mule) is still an animal vital to helping people work and live].
Over the last 60 years or so, there have been significant advances in medicine for both people and animals, and the 'pharmaceutical industry' has become a large and thriving sector. The "One Medicine" approach advocates the link between humans and animals. And how few illnesses affect only one group. This has been considered for many years:
"Between animal and human medicine there is no dividing line—nor should there be. The object is different but the experience obtained constitutes the basis of all medicine." Rudolf Virchow (1821–1902) Read more with this book "Critical Needs for Research in Veterinary Science (2005).
It's both interesting and of note that many pharmaceutical drugs are in fact synthetic versions of herbal medicine. E.g. Asprin is derived from the Willow tree.
So what does this mean? Well veterinary science is continually developing, particularly in the sphere of small animal medicine. Generally, research into medicine for both people and animals has increased over the past few decades. But there's still a lot that we don't know (and perhaps never will 100%?).
It's important to consider whether a therapy or treatment is an "alternative" or is instead "complementary". Complementary means it will be used alongside other treatments, whereas alternative means that it is instead of. Given the complexities of the human and animal bodies, it makes sense to consider any treatments as being complementary and no one medicine or therapy is likely to be the only solution. What works for one person or animal may not (or will work) for another.
As ever, it's essential that rather than relying on internet research or the opinions of friends, family or colleagues, that you get professional Veterinary advice to diagnose and decide on the best treatment for your animal. There are an enormous number of Veterinary Surgeons who specialise in many aspects of holistic therapies too throughout the world.
