Atlantic Hockey

Vincent Scarsella • 2009-10 Third Team All-AHA

A new chapter in the history of college hockey was ushered into existence when the Atlantic Hockey Association was created on June 30, 2003, by nine charter members. The sixth Division I men’s ice hockey conference arose when the founding members - American International, Bentley, Canisius, Connecticut, Holy Cross, Mercyhurst, Quinnipiac, Sacred Heart, and the United States Military Academy (Army) - required an organization that represented their specific hockey needs. Now in its eighth year of existence, Atlantic Hockey members are known throughout the NCAA landscape.

The league enjoyed unprecedented success during the 2009-10 season. Last season, RIT won its first tournament title and earned its first bid to the NCAA Tournament. The Tigers then proceeded to win the East Regional, defeating No. 1 seed Denver, 2-1, and third-seeded New Hampshire, 6-2, to earn a trip to the Ford Field in Detroit, Mich. for the Frozen Four. In the national semifinal contest, the Tigers fell to Wisconsin.

The Atlantic Hockey members showed their promise right from the start. Holy Cross earned the league’s NCAA Tournament berth in 2004 and 2006, while Mercyhurst claimed the crown in 2005. The Crusaders became the first team in league history to win an NCAA Tournament game by defeating No. 1 seed Minnesota in overtime on March 24, 2006.

The league continued to evolve with the start of the 2006-07 season, welcoming two new members – Air Force and RIT. With the departure of Quinnipiac, the league membership rose to 10. The Falcons had immediate success in the league, winning three-straight Atlantic Hockey Championships and representing the league in the NCAA Tournament. In 2009, Air Force defeated perennial-power Michigan, 2-0, before narrowly missing a bid to the Frozen Four with a 3-2 double-overtime defeat to Vermont. In addition, Air Force’s Eric Ehn became the first Atlantic Hockey player to be named a Hobey Hat Trick finalist in 2007. Another jump in membership happenes at the start of the 2010-11 season, as Niagara and Robert Morris join Atlantic Hockey to increase the league to 12 teams.

Department of AthleticsWhat is a Griffin?

The Griffin is a mythical creature of supposed gigantic size that has the head, forelegs and wings of an eagle and the hindquarters, tail and ears of a lion. They are well known for their speed, ability to fly and having eyes like an eagle as well as the strength and courage of a lion. Griffins have been known for centuries as symbols of strength and vigilance, have been called “The Hounds of Zeus” in Greek mythology and are said to have mastery of both the land and sky. They are thought to be from India, where the natives of the land made their talons and claws into drinking cups because the talon of a Griffin was said to detect poison in a liquid. Griffins would find gold in the mountains and line their nests with it and as a result, were forced to become great guardians of the nests to keep the hunters away. According to Charles A. Brady in Canisius College The First Hundred Years, “Though the problems of when and where the Griffin began his reign as King Herald of the Canisius College of Arms are not easily settled, the whence is simple to establish. Our Griffin flew to us from the prow of LaSalle’s lost Griffon, the Flying Dutchman of the Great Lakes, which disappeared after making a safe voyage from the Niagara River to the Strait of Detroit. LaSalle’s ill-fated caravel, the first ship ever built on America’s inland seas, with its 45 tons and five cannons, had its beakhead adorned ‘with a flying Griffin, and an eagle above it,’ in honor of the two heraldic beasts on the armorial bearing of the great Frontenac.” The Griffin became the symbol for Canisius athletics in the mid-1930s. Steve Weller wrote in The Buffalo News Jan. 22, 1962, “You can have your Chihuahuas, Piranhas, Horned Frogs and Iguanas. The best all-around athletic mascot in business today has to be the beast adopted by Canisius College – the Golden Griffin.”

Griffs in the CommunityIn following the Jesuit ideal of serving the community, Canisius student-athletes regularly volunteer at soup kitchens, elementary schools and different chari-ties and service organizations all over Western New York. Canisius Athletics also sponsors a 5K Run, called Shoes for the Shelter, each year and collects shoes and other clothes for home-less shelters. The Griffs teamed with the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference in the MAAC Gives Back program and also joined with the Office of Campus Ministry to take part in the College’s annual Canisius Community Days. Below is a list of community service Canisius student-athletes and coaches engaged in last year.

During the 2009-10 season, the Golden Griffin hockey program saw a number of individual and team achievements, records fall and the squad advance to the Atlantic Hockey Semifinals for the first time since 2004.

This season, the Griffs hope to take the experiences gained from last year and go even farther during the 2010-11 campaign.

“It was a great team accomplishment to get to the final four of our league,” said Canisius head coach Dave Smith. “The rewards of a focused season was getting there. Now this year, we want to take it one step farther and the next step is a league final and the NCAA Tournament.

“It seems like it is time to take that next step as a program. We’ve been able to improve our league record for five-consecutive seasons and I’d like to see that trend continue.”

The good news for the Griffs this season is that the team features one of the most experienced senior classes in the country to lead the way in 2010-11. Canisius has 10 seniors on the roster – only Ohio State has a bigger senior class with 11. The 10 experienced players, which includes two all-conference performers and the reigning Atlantic Hockey Player of the Year, are expected to lead the Griffs to another successful season and continue the trend of increased wins.

“We have a lot of leaders this season because there is a great group of young men in our senior class,” Smith said. “It brings a passion and hunger to take it to that next level. You can’t teach experience. They have played every team in the league. We need to take that experience and know that games in October are as important as games in February – we need to be ready to go right from the beginning.”

With such an experienced club, the Griffs can point toward a number of individuals for leadership. Wearing the letters this season for Canisius is three players that each bring a different leadership trait to the team – captain Phil Rauch and assistants Cory Conacher and Scott Moser. The three captains plus the entire senior class will be looked upon to guide

a relatively young team, which includes 15 underclassmen and nine freshmen.

“The guys wearing the letters are very different and diverse,” Smith said. “With the captain in Phil, we have a hard-nosed type of leader that is very well respected for his work ethic and toughness. Scott Moser is another quiet leader who blocks shots and has a tireless work ethic. Cory is the returning Player of the Year and his leadership comes from his high-skill level and commitment to the game.

“In addition, the leadership this year isn’t from just our captains – it’s our senior class. Those 10 guys have already been very vocal in what their expectations are in each other. Even though Scott Jenks and Vincent Scarsella don’t have a letter on, those two guys have been front-and-center with that class and with our program since day one. They could easily have letters on them and they will be expected to provide great leadership.”

ForwardsThere will a number of new faces up front for the Griffs this season, but one line that won’t change is the Griffs’ top unit from a year ago in Conacher, Scarsella and sophomore Preston Shupe.

“Every team needs a top line and they were just that for us last season,” Smith said. “They have proven that they can play against anybody else’s top line and create offense at the same time.”

Highlighting the unit is the reigning Atlantic Hockey Player of the Year in Conacher. Last season, Conacher set school records with 53 points and 33 assists, while finishing second in the country with 1.51 points per game. The senior now has a chance to build on that season and continue his path as one of the best to wear the blue and gold.

“Cory had a magic season last year,” Smith said. “The exciting part is that I hear from the players now and they can’t believe that he has improved his game again. He will have more challenges because if he did sneak up on anybody last year, he’s not going to do that this year. He is poised to break our all-time points record. There is nothing but positives in regards to Cory’s game from the outside looking in. Cory needs to continue to make his teammates better.”

Scarsella will once again be paired with his classmate. The senior is also coming off a career year, where he became just the third Griff to post a 40-point season and was named to the all-conference team. Shupe rounded out the line and posted a successful 25-point freshman campaign, leading all rookies on the team in scoring.

“Vince is the number one center who is an all-situation player,” Smith said. “He brings a tenacity and a compete level that is as high as anybody in the league. Every minute that he is out there, we are establishing our identity. Preston had a great freshman season pairing up with those two. This line is going to have a target on them and they’re going to have to find a way to respond to a different kind of pressure from the other team.”

After the top line, Canisius has a number of options. The Griffs once again have a lot of depth to utilize at the forward position, starting with three seniors – Pat Kenney, Eric Rex and Matt Zuke.

“I believe that overall, we have a lot more depth in our lines in the ability to create offense, play against anybody on the other team and play good defensively. What we are looking for from our three seniors is stability, poise and energy. There should be no surprises from them. We should be able to put them out there against any line at any time and we should have a predictable result.”

Another early-season combination that has the coaches excited is the pairing of Moser, sophomore Steven Shafer and freshman Kyle Gibbons. Moser was named the team’s Most Improved Player following the 2009-10 season and recording 20 points. Shafer chipped in seven points as a rookie and Gibbons joins the Griffs after a successful run with the USHL’s Lincoln Stars.

“Steven Shafer has great puck poise and great stick skills,” Smith said. “Scott is a get-it-done in the corner player, while Kyle Gibbons is a high-profile recruit coming out of the USHL. He had 16 goals there last year and is a player who can really finish around the net.”

Scott Jenks tied for the team lead and led all Canisius defenders with a plus/minus of +9 last season.

2010-11 season preview

The remaining forwards feature a lot of talent but only two forwards with collegiate experience. Torrey Lindsay is back for his sophomore season and is paired with two skilled freshmen in Ryan Bohrer and Taylor Law.

“Torrey is in phenomenal shape,” Smith said. “He won our Iron Griff this season. He is an extremely responsible and diligent player who will be playing with two very skilled freshmen. We really like the look of that line early. Taylor is a big presence with skill, while Ryan is a puck hound who can really skate. Torrey brings it all together with his puck skill and intelligence.”

Rounding out the forward unit is senior Derek Danowski and rookies Patrick Sullivan, Duncan McKellar and Brian McGinty. Danowski is the only one of the four with collegiate experience, totaling 31 career points in 75 games.

“Derek is an experienced player with a good offensive skill set as well as a defensive understanding.” Smith said. “He should be able to contribute in any role. Patrick Sullivan is a power forward that can fly and shoot the puck. His upside is tremendous for us. McKellar is a big player with high skills and is a strong skater, while McGinty is an energy player who has played with Scott Moser in the past and plays a similar style of heart, soul and grit but also has the skill to play in any situation.”

DefendersThe blue line will have a new look for the 2010-11 season. Gone are the two mainstays from the last four years in Dave Cianfrini and Carl Hudson, who both signed professional contracts after graduating – Hudson with the NHL’s Florida Panthers. Two veteran players in Jenks and fifth-year senior Chris Forsman will be looked toward and pick up where Cianfrini and Hudson left off.

“Carl was a power-play specialist and everybody in the league knew that he had a rocket from the point,” Smith said. “Immediately removing him gives a different look to the defense. Also, we lose a lot of quality minutes in Dave Cianfrini, which means that other guys are going to be asked to step in and fill the role that was taken by a real responsible and respected player.

“The bulk of those minutes are going to be soaked up by Scott Jenks and Chris Forsman. Scott is still a young player despite being in his fourth year. He looks terrific and is in terrific shape. He is poised to have a breakout year. Chris struggled last year coming off a year-long injury but he has reported back in great shape and has a great mindset and approach to the game.”

Rauch, the team’s captain, will once again be paired with sophomore Ben Parker with the hope that the duo will prove to be a dominant defensive unit, while redshirt sophomore Wes Love is back after missing last season due to injury and will team with sophomore Chris Barrea.

“Phil Rauch and Ben Parker will be our shut-down defensive pairing,” Smith said. “They will be our first penalty kill players and will go against the opponent’s top lines. Chris Barrea came on strong at the end of last season, playing in the playoffs for us. He will be paired with Wes Love, who is a terrific puck mover. The two of them compliment each other very well.”

Rounding out the blue line for the Griffs is a pair of freshmen in Ben Danford and Jordan Mustard. The two are both highly-regarded recruits who have a chance to make an immediate impact on the team.

“Ben Danford played on a championship team in Bismarck,” Smith said. “He is an excellent skater and has great hockey intelligence. From day one, he has stepped in and looked like he could be a great puck mover and power-play guy. Jordan Mustard is a highly-touted player coming out of Markham. He has excellent size and his learning curve is very steep. He has excellent potential to be a really strong player in this league.”

GoaltendersWhile there are some changes at the forward and defender positions, there is a familiar player in goal for the Griffs this season. Dan Morrison is back for his junior season after starting 27 games for the team during the 2009-10 campaign. Morrison had a solid season as the team’s last line of defense and is poised to take his game to the next level this year.

“This is the first year that we have a clear number one coming into the season,” Smith said. “Dan Morrison will play a majority of the games for us. He has bought in and shown a commitment level both on and off the ice to elevate his game to the next level. He is a big-game goaltender who is going to get a lot of opportunities to really show his stuff.”

Backing up Morrison is senior Taylor Anderson and freshman Tony Capobianco. Anderson has taken advantage of his opportunities in goal during the first three years of his career, posting a 2.21 goals against average in Atlantic Hockey contests, while Capobianco joins the Griffs after a successful run with the Georgetown Raiders of the OJHL.

“Taylor returns as a fourth-year senior,” Smith said. “He has shown a work ethic and has a respect level amongst his teammates and coaches that he will give 100 percent while on the ice. Tony is a big freshman goaltender who had a lot of success in junior hockey. The speed and the strength of the college game makes it difficult at times for freshman goalies to adapt but Tony has all the characteristics to succeed. It is just a matter of time before he gets a chance to show his stuff in games.”

CoachesSmith is in his sixth season leading the Golden Griffin program and is joined on the bench by assistant coaches B.J. Adams and John Daigneau. Adams in his second season with Canisius, working directly with the team’s defenders, while Daigneau is in his first season with the Griffs. Daigneau spent four seasons as a goaltender at Harvard, earning 2006 ECAC Championship Most Outstanding Player accolades.

“B.J. – now going into year two – has really grown in leaps and bounds and is making a tremendous impact on our program,” Smith said. “He is showing experience of playing 10 years pro and bringing that to Canisius has been huge. John Daigneau has had success as a player at every level. He comes from Harvard and he is a respected student and a respected goaltender. He fits seamlessly into our staff and he will make a big difference with the goaltenders.”

In addition, David Smith will continue to serve as a volunteer assistant coach with the Griffs, working with the team on skills and game evaluation.

The reigning Atlantic Hockey Player of the Year, Cory Conacher ranked second nationally last season with 1.51 points per game.

Head Coach • Sixth Season • The Ohio State University ‘92

Dave Smith is in his sixth season as head coach of the Canisius College hockey program and 13th season as a coach at the Division I Level.

Smith has continued to raise the bar while leading the Golden Griffin program. During the 2009-10 campaign, Smith led Canisius to one of its most successful seasons with the team earning its most victories in nine years. The Griffs also advanced to the Atlantic Hockey Semifinals for the first time since the 2003-04 campaign.

On an individual level, Cory Conacher became the first player in the program’s history to garner Atlantic Hockey Player of the Year accolades after setting a school record with 53 points and ranking second nationally in points per game. A program-high three Griffs earned all-conference honors with Carl Hudson and Vincent Scarsella joining Conacher on the All-Atlantic Hockey Team. Hudson also became the first Griff to sign with a NHL team when the Canisius standout joined the Florida Panthers following his collegiate career.

The achievements under Smith are not limited to just the 2009-10 campaign. In his first five seasons leading the Golden Griffin program, he has guided numerous student-athletes to success both on and off the ice. The Griffs have collected athletic honors and academic honors as well as enjoying successful careers after graduation. The highlights include:

• A total of 14 Griffs have signed professional contracts after playing under Smith at Canisius, highlighted by Hudson and five additional members of the Class of 2010.

• Smith has mentored three student-athletes that have earned individual postseason awards. Conacher highlights the honorees with his Player of the Year accolade, while David Kasch earned the league’s Best Defensive Forward following the 2007-08 season and Dave Kostuch was named the Rookie of the Year in 2008-09.

• Four Griffs earned all-conference accolades in the past two seasons a total of five times, one more than Canisius’ first 10 seasons at the Division I level combined. In 2010, Hudson became the first player in the program’s history to be named to the all-conference team on two occasions.

• The success of the 2009-10 season comes on the heels of a breakthrough season in which Smith led the Griffs to a number of firsts. During the 2008-09 campaign, Canisius swept a pair of games against eventual NCAA quarterfinalist and 15th-ranked Air Force, marking

Griffs Continue Non-Conference SuccessOne year after the Griffs’ most successful non-conference campaign, Canisius continued the trend during the 2009-10 season.

The Griffs began the season with Ferris State and after falling in the opener, Canisius earned a 1-0 victory in the finale. The win marked the program’s second-ever against a CCHA school and the second-straight season the Griffs de-feated the Bulldogs. Dan Morrison recorded 48 saves, the most for a Griff in a shutout, and Ryan Klusendorf scored for the 1-0 win.

Canisius also earned a win against Colgate and tied Robert Morris in December non-conference action. The win against the Raiders marked the second in school history versus an ECAC school – the Griffs defeated Clarkson the year before.

Griffs Earn First National VoteFollowing the split against Ferris State, Canisius earned its first-ever vote in the USCHO.com/CBS College Sports Division I national poll.

Conacher Starts Season StrongAfter missing the first two games of the season, junior Cory Conacher quickly showed he was go-ing to be a force during the 2009-10 campaign.

Conacher netted a natural hat trick against Lake Superior State on Oct. 16 to kick off his record-setting season. The ninth hat trick in the pro-gram’s Division I history was also first for a Griff in a non-conference game.

Griffs Right the Ship Against MercyhurstAfter a slow start to the season, Canisius record-ed a much-needed and historic sweep against Mercyhurst.

The Griffs entered the series against the Lakers with a 2-6-0 record and 1-3-0 conference mark. However, Canisius earned a 6-4 win at Mercy-hurst and a 4-3 victory at home the following night to turn the season around.

The two wins marked the first weekend sweep for the Griffs in the 60-game, 21-year history against the Lakers. It also marked the first time Canisius won consecutive game against Mercy-hurst in 39 Division I meetings.

Canisius Enters NCAA Record BookFollowing the series against Mercyhurst, Canisius entered a strong defensive stretch, recording one of the longest shutout streaks in NCAA history.

The run started with a 1-0 shutout against Con-necticut. Dan Morrison recorded 19 saves to lead the Griffs to the win. Morrison then followed with 36 stops during a 7-0 blanking of AIC for his second-straight shutout. Andrew Loewen re-corded the third-straight shutout for Canisius in a 4-0 win against AIC the following night. Army finally ended the run with a second-period goal in a 4-1 win.

After all was said and done, Canisius held oppo-nents off the scoreboard for 213:12, the seventh-longest streak in NCAA history. Morrison’s two shutouts during the run raised his season total to three, matching a school record. Loewen’s clean sheet was the sixth and final one of his career, also tying the program’s Division I mark.

Conacher and Hudson Go StreakingCory Conacher and Carl Hudson both caught fire starting with the Griffs’ victory against AIC on Nov. 20.

Conacher recorded a point in 12-straight games from Nov. 20 to Jan. 16, the longest run by a Griff since the 2001-02 season. In the 12 games, Co-nacher recorded 25 points en route to his record-setting campaign. Included during the streak was a five-point, four assist game in a 9-3 win against Bentley, matching a pair of school records.

Hudson recorded a point in 10-straight games from Nov. 20 to Dec. 20, the longest streak in the program’s Division I history by a defender.

Hudson Nets Hat TrickCarl Hudson showed his complete scoring ability in a 5-5 draw at Sacred Heart. The senior defend-er netted the program’s 10th hat trick to help the Griffs earn the tie.

With his three goals, Hudson became the first defender in the program’s Division I history to score three goals in a single game. He also scored all three of his goals with the extra-man advan-tage, becoming the first player in school history with three power-play goals in a game.

Weeks Scores a School RecordWith his goal against Connecticut on Feb. 6, se-nior Jason Weeks moved to the top of the Griffs’ scoring list.

Weeks totaled 50 goals during his career, set-ting the program’s Division I record. The Seattle, Wash. native topped the previous standard of 49, set by David Deeves from 1998 to 2002.

Heidinger Becomes Leading ScorerSenior Josh Heidinger also added his name to the school’s record book, becoming the program’s all-time leading scorer.

In his final career home game, Heidinger passed David Deeves for first and set the scoring mark. He finished his career with 132 points, 13 more than Deeves recorded. Heidinger also graduated with a program-best 95 assists, 25 more than the previous mark held by Deeves.

Power Surge for HudsonAmong the highlights of Carl Hudson’s numer-ous school records was his power-play success.

Hudson, who scored 70.5 percent of his career goals with the extra-man advantage, netted a school-record 11 power-play goals during the season. He also finished his tenure with a pro-gram-best 31 career power-play goals.

The power play was just one area of success dur-ing his career. He set school records by a defender during his senior season in points (34), goals (14) and assists (20), while graduating with career re-cords by a defender in points (90), goals (44) and assists (46). His 44 career goals are also the most by any defender in Atlantic Hockey history.

Conacher also finished among the nation’s elite during the 2009-10 season. The junior ranked second nationally with 1.51 points per game, fifth with 0.94 assists per game and 15th with 0.57 goals per game. He was the only player in Division I to rank in the top 30 nationally in both goals and assists per game.

Canisius Season Ends in RochesterAdvancing to the Atlantic Hockey Semifinals for the first time in six years, Canisius had its sea-son end in the Blue Cross Arena to RIT, 4-0. The Tigers ended up winning the tournament and becoming the first Atlantic Hockey school to ad-vance to the Frozen Four.

The Griffs finished the season with a 17-15-5 re-cord. The team’s 17 wins are the most since also recording 17 during the 2000-01 campaign.

Conacher Named AHA Player of the YearJunior Cory Conacher highlighted the Griffs’ postseason awards, becoming the first player in school history to earn Atlantic Hockey Player of the Year accolades.

In addition, senior Carl Hudson was named to the All-Atlantic Hockey Second Team after earn-ing third-team honors the previous season, while junior Vincent Scarsella was named to the All-Atlantic Hockey Third Team.

The Club YearsThe Canisius College hockey team has a rich tradition that began as the vision of one man and grew into a NCAA Division I program. Dr. David Dietz, professor of classics and the father of Canisius hockey, has seen it evolve from the first day of practice as a club team to the move from the ECAC West to its current place in the Atlantic Hockey Association.

Canisius hockey was born in fall 1971. In spring 1972, the club saw the true beginning of the program — its first win. The program went 6-2-0 and played a mix of intercollegiate and club teams.

In April 1973, Canisius was ac-cepted into the Finger Lakes Collegiate Hockey League for play beginning in fall 1974. The FLCHL gave the Griffs the opportunity to play a consis-

tent schedule against a mix of teams from Western and Central New York. The Griffs went 10-2-0 and finished first during the regular season in the inaugural season of the FLCHL (1973-74).

The club hit its pinnacle during the 1974-75 season as the Griffs finished with a 15-2-0 record and defeated St. John Fisher in the league’s championship game, 7-0. Proving that the previous year was no fluke, Canisius took its second straight postseason crown by defeating the Geneseo Ice Knights, 5-2, for the FLCHL Championship.

With great success during the previous two seasons, it was evident the Griffs were moving to another level. Seeing this, Dr. Dietz chose to step aside as the club team’s coach.

That change came in the form of University at Buffalo graduate Mike Kelly. Kelly began coaching during the 1976-77 season. The Griffs finished 9-6-4, falling to Erie Community College in the league’s championship game. Kelly was named FLCHL Coach of the Year.

Canisius met ECC in the 1977-78 FLCHL Championship game and were stymied by the Ice Kats for the second year in a row, 8-4.

Canisius went 17-10-2 and won the 1978-79 FLCHL Championship with a 6-4 decision over Niagara-Welland in the league’s title game. Mike Denz was named tournament MVP.

The 1979-80 ice hockey season ended an era in Canisius athletics as the club hockey team would lace up their skates for the last time before moving to varsity status. The Griffs concluded this chapter in Canisius history with a 5-4 victory over Mohawk College in the inaugural Championship of the International Col-legiate Hockey League.

The Move to Division IIIThe Griffs began Division III play with a new look. Brian Cavanaugh would take over the program and would lead the Griffs for 23 of the next 24 years. Canisius earned its first-ever NCAA victory on Nov. 22, 1980 with a 7-4 win over Niagara Welland and ended the season with a 13-12-2 record.

Canisius continued its success in its second season of play, posting its second-straight winning season with a 16-12-1 mark. Cavanaugh would leave his position as head coach for one season in 1982 and Carl Koeppel would assume the reins. The Griffs would struggle the next two years under Koeppel and Cavanaugh, posting records of 9-16-1 and 5-21-1. However, Canisius would respond in 1984.

During the fall of 1984, a new generation of Griffs would arrive on campus and the school record books would be rewritten behind three future Canisius Hall of Famers. Joe Federico, Kevin Sykes and Mike Torrillo would all leave their mark on the Canisius hockey program before graduating.

The Griffs turned things around to begin the 1984-85 season. After posting two-consecutive losing seasons, Canisius won four of its first five games en route to a 15-12-2 record. The 9.5 game turnaround from the 1983-84 season remains the greatest improvement in one season during school history. Sykes would lead the Griffs in scoring during his rookie season, posting 54 points on 28 goals and 26 assists. Federico registered one of the greatest seasons by a defender, recording 31 points and a school-record 27 assists.

The 1985-86 season would once again show the promise of the Canisius hockey team. The Griffs posted an 18-9-2 record and would earn the program’s first-ever postseason bid. Canisius squared off with Elmira in the ECAC West Quarter-

finals but the Soaring Eagles would emerge victorious, 6-3. Torrillo led the Griffs in scoring, posting 71 points on 27 goals and a school-record 44 assists.

During the 1986-87 season, the Griffs would advance one step further. The team won a school-record 21 games during the regular season and earned a second-straight trip to the ECAC West Quarterfinals. The Griffs faced RIT in Rochester and won its first-ever postseason game with a 2-0 victory. However, Canisius’ run would end in the semifinals, falling to Plattsburgh, 9-4. Torrillo once again led the team in scoring, posting 69 points on a program-best 36 goals plus 33 assists.

The three seniors wrapped up their Hall of Fame careers during the 1987-88 campaign, posting a 15-12-0 record. Canisius would earn a chance at redemption against Plattsburgh, squaring off against the Cardinals in the ECAC Quarterfinals. However, Plattsburgh would once again eliminate the Griffs, winning 6-3. Torrillo once again led the Griffs in scoring, setting his third school record with 74 points on 33 goals and 41 assists.

Torrillo and Sykes graduated as the top two scorers in school history and it still remains that way 20 seasons later. Torrillo owns the program’s top marks with 265 points, 121 goals and 144 assists. Sykes ranks second with 234 points, 114 goals and 120 assists. Federico registered 102 points on 18 goals and 84 assists. His point total and assist total are still records for Canisius defensemen.

With the loss of the three players, the Griffs fell below .500 during the 1988-89 season but still managed to grab it fourth-consecutive playoff berth. How-ever, the Griffs experienced a similar postseason result, losing in the ECAC West Quarterfinals to Union, 6-3. Mike Sisti proved to be the new leader of the Griffs, recording 57 points on 33 goals and 24 assists. Sisti ranks fourth in school history with 163 points on 74 points and 89 assists and was inducted into the Canisius Hall of Fame in 2002.

The Griffs struggled through the four seasons after its 1989 playoff appearance. For the only time in school history, Canisius went four-straight years without a winning season. However, the Griffs responded with nine-consecutive winning seasons, their longest run in the program’s history.

Canisius’ winning ways began in the 1992-93 season, posting an 18-11-1 record, including a 17-6-1 mark against ECAC West opponents. The Griffs earned its first postseason bid in five years, defeating Mercyhurst in the ECAC West Semifinals, 5-3, before falling to Elmira, 2-1, in the championship game. The season also in-cluded the most dominating win in school history, a 22-1 victory over Scranton.

The Griffs returned to the postseason the next two seasons, falling in the semi-finals to RIT both seasons. Canisius lost to the Tigers to end the 1993-94 cam-paign, 4-3. The Griffs’ defeat at the end of the 1994-95 season is the longest game in school history, going into two overtimes before RIT won, 5-4.

Canisius returned to championship form once again during the 1995-96 cam-paign, led by Josh Oort. Oort would lead the Griffs to an 18-7-2 record and the postseason for a fourth-straight year. The Griffs would defeat Mercyhurst, 6-2, before once again falling to RIT in overtime, 3-2, in the championship. Oort would post 44 points on 15 goals and 29 assists to lead the Griffs’ offense for the first of three-consecutive seasons. Oort, who ranks third in school history with 172 career points, joined Torrillo as the only Griffs to lead the team in scoring in three-straight seasons.

The Griffs finished play at the Division III level with two more playoff berths. For the third-consecutive season, Canisius lost to RIT in overtime to end its season, falling to the Tigers, 3-2, in the semifinals. The Griffs’ final season at Division III ended with a loss to rival Niagara, 4-1, in the ECAC West Semifinals.

The Division I EraBefore the 1997-98 season, Canisius announced it would move to Division I and joined the newly-formed MAAC Hockey League beginning in 1998. The Griffs would now take on the strongest competition in the NCAA and looked to con-tinue its success at the new level.

Canisius began its new era in style, posting a 16-15-5 record and advancing to the MAAC Championship in its first season. As the No. 4 seed, the Griffs topped fifth-seeded AIC, 7-4, in the quarterfinals and upset top-seeded Quinnipiac in the semifinals, 5-2, before falling to Holy Cross in the championship, 4-3.

Individually, Chris Duggan and David Deeves enjoyed successful seasons for the Griffs in their first season at the Division I level. Duggan set single-season records with 48 points, 22 goals and 26 assists – marks that stood for 12 years – and Deeves recorded 34 points on 18 goals and 16 assists.

The duo would lead the Griffs during the next three seasons. Despite Duggan missing most of the 1999-00 season due to injury, the Griffs would match a school record with 21 wins but would fall in the MAAC Quarterfinals to Iona, 4-3. Goalie Sean Weaver would step up in Duggan’s absence and was named the MAAC Goaltender of the Year.

canisius hockey historyDuggan would return for the 2000-01 season, posting his second-best season with 35 points. The Griffs finished the season with a 17-12-4 record and defeated Connecticut, 4-1 in the MAAC Quarterfinals before falling to Mercyhurst, 4-3, in the semifinals.

The first class in the Division I era would end their careers in the 2002 MAAC Quarterfinals, falling to Sacred Heart, 3-2 in overtime. Deeves and Duggan finished their careers ranked first and second, respectively, in the program’s Division I record book, marks that would stand for the next eight years as the program grew from what the duo started as freshmen.

The Griffs struggled through a 2002-03 season, compiling a 12-21-4 record, However, the year was highlighted by hosting the 2003 Frozen Four at HSBC Arena where Minnesota defeated New Hampshire, 5-1.

The next two seasons marked a time of change for Canisius. The Griffs left the MAAC after the 2002-03 season and joined the newly-formed Atlantic Hockey Association. Cavanaugh would also end his Canisius career after an amazing 341 victories at the helm of the Golden Griffin program.

Dave Smith was named the Golden Griffins’ third coach on April 15, 2005. Smith has had an immediate impact in short time in charge of the program.

Smith’s first full recruiting class earned 12 weekly honors during the 2006-07 season, the most of any Division I team in the country. Rookie Josh Heidinger tied the program’s Divi-sion I record with 26 assists.

During the 2007-08 season, the Griffs tied No. 17 St. Cloud State in the second game of the season. The tie marked the first-ever point for Canisius against a nationally-ranked team. Four individual and team records also fell during the year, highlighted by Andrew Loewen’s 201-minute scoreless streak, the 10th-longest run in NCAA history.

The 2008-09 season marked a number of historic firsts for the Canisius hockey program. The Griffs opened the season with its first victory over a CCHA school, defeating Ferris State, 5-2. Canisius also earned its first victory over an ECAC school (Clarkson) and tied a Hockey East school (Merrimack) in non-conference action.

The high point of the season occurred when the Griffs swept a pair of games at nationally-ranked Air Force. The wins against the No. 15 Falcons marked the first victories for Canisius over a ranked opponent in the program’s history.

The season was capped by Dave Kostuch earning Atlantic Hockey Rookie of the Year ac-colades, while juniors Carl Hudson and Jason Weeks were named to the all-conference third team.

The Griffs continued to make their mark on the national stage during the 2009-10 cam-paign, ranking among the nation’s elite, earning individual accolades and watching a num-ber of records fall.

Cory Conacher opened his junior season with a hat trick against Lake Superior State and didn’t slow down the rest of the way. Conacher be-came the first Griff to garner Atlantic Hockey Player of the Year accolades and set a number of school records. He totaled 53 points and 33 assists, the most in the program’s Division I history, while ranking second nationally with 1.51 points per game. Conacher was joined on the all-conference team by Hudson and junior Vincent Scarsella, who earned second and third-team honors, respectively.

The 2009-10 campaign also marked the final season for Smith’s first full recruiting class and the group did not disappoint. The Class of 2010 helped Canisius to one of its most successful seasons in the program’s Division I history – earning its most wins in nine years and advancing to the Atlantic Hockey Semifi-nals for the first time since 2004.

Individually, the class rewrote the school’s record book during their tenure. Among the highlights was Heidinger graduating with the program’s Division I career records in points and assists, while Weeks became the first Griff to score 50 career goals.

The success of the class did not end as the Canisius season came to an end. Seven mem-bers of the team went on to play professional hockey, including Hudson, who became the first Griff to sign an NHL contract after join-ing the Florida Panthers.

Bourgeault became the seventh member of the Golden Griffin hockey program to be inducted into the Canisius College Athletics Hall of Fame in February 2007.

Bourgeault ranks sixth in program history with 148 points, is tied for 10th with 55 goals and is fifth with 93 assists.

His eight points against Scranton on Feb. 20, 1993, are the most by a Golden Griffin in a game, and he is one of four players in program history with four goals in a game.

The Griffs went 69-32-8 during his four years in the Blue and Gold, which ties for the most wins during any four-year span and is the best winning percentage (.670) of any graduating class. He also played on teams with the top three single-season winning percentages in program history.

Referred to as the “true father” of Canisius College hockey, Dr. David Dietz has been a supporter of Golden Griffin hockey since its inception more than 30 years ago. He is the namesake of the hockey award given to the Canisius player who demonstrates both athletic and scholastic dedication.

Dietz was responsible for the organization of club hockey in 1972 and coached for four seasons. The Griffs won the FLCHL Championship in the 1974-75 season and the 1975-76 campaign.

Dietz has served Canisius athletics as the athletic board chairman, hockey academic advisor and Blue & Gold Club booster. He is a tenured professor at Canisius.

On Sept. 26, 1998, Roessler became the first Canisius hockey player inducted into the Golden Griffin Sports Hall of Fame and the first to have his jersey number retired. A prolific scorer, Roessler finished his career with 68 goals, including

14 go-ahead goals and nine game-tying goals, to go along with 84 assists in his 90-game career.

As a senior, he was named team MVP after leading the Griffs in goals and assists. He graduated as the team’s all-time leading scorer. The Orchard Park, N.Y. native was selected to the 1980-81 ICHL All-Star team and was named league MVP. Roessler currently ranks fifth in all-time points (152), fourth in goals and seventh in assists.

second in Canisius history in all three scoring categories and was voted the club’s best forward all four years he took the ice. He compiled a +/- rating of +110 in his four seasons.

On the diamond, the Amherst, N.Y. native hit over .300 in each of his four seasons with a career-best .343 performance in 1987. Sykes hit .300 and made only five errors when Canisius advanced to the ECAC playoffs in 1986.

The all-time scoring leader among Canisius defen-semen, Federico earned induction into the Hall of Fame in 2006.

During his four-year career, the Griffs won 69 games, which ties for the most of any class. Federico scored 102 points in 88 career games and had 84 assists, both school records for a blue-liner. A three-time captain, Federico was a member of the all-time winningest team in school history — the 1986-87 team that went 21-11-0.

His 27 assists as a freshman in 1984-85 ranks 16th all-time for a single sea-son. He is 20th in career points, eighth in career assists and fourth in career assists per game.

Joe Federico#6 • 1984-88 • Hall of Fame 2006

A four-year letter winner in ice hockey, Sisti ranks fourth at Canisius in career scoring (163 points), third in career goals (74), and sixth in career assists (89). He shares the school record for single-game goals with four and holds the mark for single-

season hat tricks with six.

Sisti posted 13 goals and 19 assists to help the Griffs to a 21-11-0 record in 1986-87. He led Canisius in goals (33) and points (57) in 1988-89 and was named the team’s top forward. Sisti served as an assistant coach at Canisius and Mercyhurst before becoming the first Mercyhurst women’s ice hockey coach. He owns a 282-78-26 record in nine seasons and advanced to the NCAA Division I Championship in 2009.

compiled 265 points in 116 career games. He was the team MVP his final three seasons and set a school mark as a senior with nine points (five goals, four assists) in a contest against Fredonia.

He posted a school-record 36 goals as a junior in 32 games and added a record 44 assists during the Griffs 29-game season in 1985-86. On the diamond, he played in 56 games with 10 stolen bases, eight doubles and 13 RBI.

onJohn J. HurleyPresident

John J. Hurley was appointed the 24th president of Canisius College on Monday, October 19, 2009 by the col-lege’s Board of Trustees and assumed the position on July 1, 2010. He is the first lay president in Canisius Col-lege’s 140-year history.

A 1978 alumnus of Canisius College, Hurley has served as executive vice president of Canisius College since 2007 and vice president for college relations since 1997. In these roles, Hurley is the designated senior administrative official, responsible for the college’s strategic planning, integrated marketing, legal and compliance issues and athletics marketing. He also oversees the college’s advancement operation, which includes development, public relations, creative and Web services, alumni relations and government relations.

Hurley currently directs all phases of the college’s current campaign, A Legacy of Leadership, which has a $90 million goal. He also led the college to the successful conclusion of its Imagine Canisius fund-raising campaign (1997 – 2000), which surpassed its $30 million goal by $8.8 million. The Imagine Canisius capital campaign was the most successful fund-raising effort undertaken by Canisius College and was recognized in 2001 as the top fund-raising accomplishment among the nation’s 28 Jesuit colleges and universities.

Hurley played a significant leadership role in the college’s $142 million capital investment in the campus, and negotiated the college’s acquisition of the HealthNow building on Main Street. Plans are underway to convert the building into a comprehensive state-of-the-art interdisciplinary science center at Canisius. Hurley is the architect of the college’s innovative Employer Assisted Housing program, which offers incentives to Canisius employees who purchase homes in neighborhoods surrounding the college. He also led the branding initiative that developed the college’s positioning statement Canisius College: Where Leaders are Made.

A native of Buffalo, Hurley graduated from St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute in Kenmore and earned a bachelor of arts degree, summa cum laude, in English and history from Canisius College. He was awarded a full scholarship to the University of Notre Dame School of Law, where he earned a juris doctor degree in 1981.

Prior to Canisius, Hurley practiced law for 16 years, including 13 years at the Buffalo firm of Phillips, Lytle, Hitchcock, Blaine & Huber. He concentrated his practice in the areas of secured lending, bankruptcy and insolvency, creditors’ rights and acquisitions of troubled companies.

Hurley was appointed by Bishop Edward U. Kmiec to serve on the Fidelis Care New York Board of Directors, a health maintenance organization that serves the poor in New York State. He is also chair the Bishop’s Council on the Laity for Bishop Kmiec. Hurley is a past member of the city of Buffalo’s Charter Revision Commission and past president of the St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute Board of Trustees.

He is the recipient of the 2002 Canisius College Distinguished Alumnus Award, which recognizes alumni who have distinguished themselves in their cho-sen careers. Hurley is also a recipient of the college’s LaSalle Medal (1996), the highest honor conferred upon an alumna/us for service to alma mater, and was inducted into the Signum Fidei Society of St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute (1998).

Hurley is the son of Doris Y. and the late Paul B. Hurley. He is married to Maureen O’Connell Hurley, executive vice president and chief administrative officer of Rich Products Corporation in Buffalo. They have three children: Caroline, Brian and Millie.

Dr. Ellen ConleyVice President for Student Affairs

Ellen O. Conley, PhD, a member of the Canisius Community since 1970, was named vice president for student affairs in 1998. One of her many accomplishments in her role as vice president includes spearheading the upgrade of the athletics program at the college.

Dr. Conley earned a bachelor’s degree from Slippery Rock State College (1967), advanced education degrees from the University of Pittsburgh (1968) and Buffalo State (1973) and a doctorate in higher education from the University at Buffalo (1981).

During her tenure as dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Dr. Conley supported the formation of the School of Education and Human Services, developed a mentoring program for new faculty, initiated the development of majors in criminal justice and environmental science and guided the initiative to implement a Master of Science in Organizational Communication and Development. She also established the Fine Arts Department and facilitated the development of MusiCanisius, which has since evolved into the ArtsCanisius program.

While acting dean, she coordinated the promotion of the school’s graduate education program to the Canadian market and guided the implementation of the Master in Sport Administration.

From 1987-89, Dr. Conley was the assistant director of athletics for women’s sports and financial aid, and from 1987-90, she was the athletic scholarship coordinator. Under her direction, the women’s athletic program was formed and grew from one club level team to seven varsity teams. In addition, she implemented and monitored an athletic scholarship program for men’s and women’s non-revenue producing sports.

From 1982-1990 Dr. Conley served as chair of the undergraduate Physical Education Major Program and Coordinator of the Physical Education Graduate Program. In 1989, she developed alternative curricular tracks for physical education majors to enhance enrollment, and in 1986, she co-wrote the New York State Professional Preparation Council’s position paper for “Strengthening Teaching in New York State.”

The baseball program has won two of the last three MAAC regular-season titles and has the most wins (116) of any program in the Northeast and Midwest during the past three seasons. The synchronized swimming program won its 13th consecutive ECAC Champi-onship in 2010 and also finished third at the U.S. Collegiate Championships for the third consecutive season.

The women’s soccer team set a program record with 13 victories in 2009 and has played in two con-secutive MAAC semifinals for the first time in program history. The 2008 team also won a program-record six MAAC games and advanced to a four-team MAAC Tournament for the first time since 1994.

The hockey program has improved its record in the Atlantic Hockey standings during each of the past four seasons.

The men’s swimming and diving team defeated Niagara in a dual meet in 2010 for the first time in more than 10 years while the women’s team defeated its rival at the 2009 MAAC Championships. The Class of 2009 was the winningest class in program history for the men’s soccer program. The women’s lacrosse program has qualified for the postseason four times in the last five years after never making the MAAC Tournament before the 2006 season.

The men’s basketball program has improved its record during each of the last three seasons, winning 15 games in 2009-10 - the most in a decade. The current senior class earned its undergraduate degrees by the end of its junior season. The cross country teams have each won four consecutive Little Three Championships.

New locker rooms were constructed for all female teams and finished in 2008 while the men and women’s basketball teams each received new locker rooms in the summer of 2008. The Demske Sports Complex received a $1.7 million facelift with the installation of new A-Turf as well as new scoreboards. New offices for coaches along with new locker rooms for all of the men’s teams were constructed in 2010.

Maher is the MAAC’s representative to the NCAA Legislative Council, which has one representative from each of the 31 Division I conferences.

A Canisius graduate and former assistant athletic director at the school, Maher spent seven years at the University at Buffalo and served as the Bulls’ interim athletic director from 2003-05.

During his tenure as the interim athletic director at Buffalo, Maher helped UB Athletics oversee $3.6 million in capital improvements to its athletic facili-ties, restructure the school’s Blue & White Club fund drive for athletics, which generated $1 million during the 2003-04 season, and develop marketing campaigns which increased attendance at athletic events.

He also oversaw the development of the men’s basketball program, which set a school record for victories and earned the first postseason bid in school history with an invitation to the 2005 National Invitation Tournament. Under his watch, the Bulls’ RPI increased from 284 in 2003 to as high as 34 during the 2004-05 season.

Maher was a four-year letterwinner on the Canisius College football team from 1985-88 and earned All-America honorable mention honors as a senior. He received his bachelor’s degree in physical education from Canisius in 1989 and his master’s degree in sport management from East Stroudsburg University in 1990. Following an internship with the New York Knicks, Maher returned to Canisius in 1991, becoming the assistant athletic director for compliance in 1994.
