As the Atlantic Hockey season nears its conclusion, the games begin to take on more meaning and none may be more pivotal to the Griffs post-season success than this weekend’s battles with Mercyhurst College. The Griffs host the Lakers on Friday night at 7 p.m. at the Buffalo State Ice Arena before heading to Erie, PA for a Saturday night clash, also at 7 p.m.
With six games to play, the Griffs trail Mercyhurst by one point for the final home ice playoff spot. Heading into this weekend’s play, Sacred Heart sits in third with 27 points, the Lakers have 26 and the Griffs have 25.
Also, congratulations are in order to Jason Weeks (pictured), who became the Griffs all-time leading goal scorer in Division I history this past weekend as Canisius swept Connecticut.
