The Griffs’ 17 victories at the Division I level against the Yellow Jackets are the most versus any team. 4However, AIC has controlled the series recently. The Griffs have lost the last four meetings to the Yellow Jackets, including the opening round of the 2007 Atlantic Hockey Tournament. AIC is 6-2- 1 against the Griffs in the last nine contests. 4Canisius has also lost its last four games at AIC with its last victory coming on Feb. 5, 2005. 4AIC swept two games at Springfield last year, defeating the Griffs 3-1 and 4-2. Josh Heidinger posted a point on all three of the Griffs’ tallies, scoring two goals and adding an assist. ABOUT THE YELLOW JACKETS 4AIC is still in search of its first victory of the season.

CANISIUS (1-2-2, 0-1-1) AT AIC (0-4-0, 0-2-0) HEIDINGER LOOKS TO CONTINUE CLIMB UP CANISIUS RECORD BOOK 4Junior Josh Heidinger has been the anchor of the Canisius attack in his two-plus seasons. Heidinger in the Division I Record Book 4Heidinger has continued to put up numbers Career Points G A Pts 7. Todd Bisson (1998-01) 33 42 75 during his junior campaign. He currently ranks 8. David Kasch (2003-08) 26 42 68 second on the team with six points and leads the 9. Fred Coccimiglio (2001-06) 33 33 66 Griffs with five assists. Josh Heidinger (2006- ) 18 48 66 4His five helpers currently rank fifth in the league. Career Assists A In addition, Heidinger is also 15th nationally with 4. Brad Kenny (1998-02) 56 1.00 assists per game. 5. Rob Martin (2000-04) 51 4Heidinger has consistently led Canisius during his 6. Corey Lucas (1998-02) 48 tenure. He has accumulated 66 career points on Josh Heidinger (2006- ) 48 18 goals and 48 assists. His 66 points are tied for ninth in Canisius’ Division I record book, while his 48 assists are tied for sixth. 4The junior is currently on pace to break the program’s record for career points. Heidinger is on pace for 123 career points, four more than the 119 David Deeves recorded from 1998 to 2002. KOSTUCH STRONG TO BEGIN CAREER 4Freshman Dave Kostuch has wasted no time getting settled in the Griffs’ offense. Through just five games this season, the rookie has posted three goals. 4Kostuch scored a goal in his first collegiate game, helping the Griffs to a 5-2 victory over Ferris State. He then added two third-period scores in a 5-4 defeat to Holy Cross. 4The Richmond Hill, Ontario native currently ranks third among Atlantic Hockey freshmen with three points and 30th nationally with 0.60 points per game. 4Kostuch’s three goals also rank fifth in Atlantic Hockey plus second nationally among rookies. SHORT-HANDED SUCCESS 4Opponents should be worried when going on the power play this season. Through just four games this season, Canisius has already tallied three short-handed goals. 4The Griffs’ three short-handed goals are tied for the most in the country this season. Boston College, Minnesota State and Northeastern have also scored three times while on the penalty kill. 4Sophomore Cory Conacher scored two short-handed goals in the Griffs’ 5-2 victory against Ferris State to open the season. Freshman Dave Kostuch also added a short-handed tally against Holy Cross. 4The three man-down goals is just one shy of the Griffs’ total from last season. WEEKS TALLIES 50TH CAREER POINT 4Junior Jason Weeks is a proven scorer with the Griffs. 4Weeks currently ranks fourth on the team with five points, registering a goal and four assists. 4The junior led the team in goals during each of his first two seasons. He notched 15 goals during his rookie season and added 12 scores as a sophomore. His 15 goals as a freshman are tied for the third most in Canisius’ Division I history. 4Against Holy Cross, Weeks tallied his 50th-career point on a game-tying assist. For his career, the Seattle, Wash. native has posted 51 points on 28 goals and 23 assists. 4Weeks is currently on pace to set the program’s Division I career scoring record with 54 goals, five more than David Deeves scored from 1998 to 2002. SCARSELLA PREPARES WITH THE SABRES 4Vincent Scarsella spent his summer preparing for his sophomore season with a little help from the Buffalo Sabres. 4Scarsella participated in the Sabres Developmental Camp during the offseason after a solid rookie season with the Griffs where he led the team in scoring (9g, 22a). 4The Sabres Director of Scouting Kevin Devine stated about Scarsella and the Griffin program: “They’ve got a kid [at Canisius], Vincent Scarsella, who is a pretty good player. He is on the radar, and you know what it does is if scouts say we’ve got to see this kid in Canisius and you go down there and you say ‘this is a pretty good league. We should get watching it a little bit more.’ I think it’s going to give a little bit more attention to those places.” 4Scarsella has posted five points during his sophomore season, recording a goal and four assists. KEEPING IT CLEAN 4One reason for the Griffs’ success this season is their ability to stay out of the penalty box. 4Canisius led the country last season with 21.6 penalty minutes per game. However, this season, Canisius has shaved eight minutes off and is currently averaging just 13.6 penalty minutes per contest. Only 10 teams have averaged fewer penalty minutes this season. 4The Griffs have been whistled for fewer penalties in each of their five games this season then their opponents. In Canisius’ game against Holy Cross, the Griffs were not called for one penalty for only the second time in school history. 4Staying away from the penalty kill is key for Canisius. The Griffs are 1-0-1 this season when allowing zero power-play goals.
