The Guelph Gryphons are in their 7th season as a franchise and once again slugging it out in I.1 play. Facilities are still under construction as the franchise aims to keep pace with the country's top clubs.

Six games in and the Gryphons are a solid 3-3 with a +5 goal differential. The more remarkable stat is their home and away record. 3-0 at Veterans Memorial Arena, 0-3 away from it. Interestingly enough, two new faces are leading the scoring charge thus far.

One thing that has the coaches alarmed is the shocking PPK ratio. Guelph has earned 16 powerplays while giving up 29, nearly a 1:2 ratio.

"It's certainly not a good sight. One could suggest it is our new guys not being able to keep up, but really our PIMS are spread evenly throughout the team for the most part. We just have to be more disciplined. Our game plan revolves around holding them at bay and converting on our powerplay chances" said head coach Mauge.

Guelph has played what is arguably the toughest opening schedule imaginable and now has a lighter schedule through to the half-way mark.

"I've been liking playing for the team thus far. I've been getting lots of PP time and decent 5-on-5 time. I know I'm not a top Dman on the team but they have high hopes for me. I'm just going to keep working on my game and get better defensively" said Brady Clench one of the new point men running one of the Gryphons' powerplay units.

This concludes a brief edition of Gryph News. Stay tuned as new league rules have prompted many close games and it is bound to be a very exciting season of hockey.
