The final home weekend of the hockey season is upon us as the Griffs host American International College (AIC) in a huge Atlantic Hockey Association (AHA) series at Buffalo State Ice Arena. Game time Saturday is 3 p.m. and Sunday’s face-off is 4 p.m.
The Griffs (14-12-4 overall, 12-9-3 in conference play) sit just one point out of fourth place heading into this weekend’s action. The Griffs are looking to secure their first winning season in five years while also seeking home-ice advantage for the AHA quarterfinals. Instrumental to the Griffs success has been a class of eight seniors – Andrew Loewen, Ryan Klusendorf, Jason Weeks, Josh Heidinger (pictured, right), Carl Hudson, Dave Cianfrini, Vince Amigone and captain Peter MacDougall.
Saturday is also New Era Crazy Hat Day. Fans who wear crazy hats are eligible to win up to $50 in gift certificates from New Era. There will also be free hats given away at the door. Senior ceremonies on Sunday will take place following the game. The Hyatt Regency will provide free cookies to fans.
