The ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ Gaels are in action on numerous fronts this weekend. Here's a quick look at when and where to catch your Gaels in action at home, or how to follow them on the road.

GAME OF THE WEEK

This weekend the Queen’s Gaels men’s hockey team (6-5-0) hosts Lakehead (4-7-2) on back-to-back nights, Friday and Saturday, with both games starting at 7:30 pm at the Memorial Centre.

Last weekend on the road the Gaels lost 3-2 to the Ryerson Rams but bounced back for a 2-1 win over the Toronto Varsity Blues. The Gaels currently boast the fourth-ranked power play in all of the CIS having scored 11 times with a success rate of 25 per cent.

Last Friday, the Gaels beat Waterloo 67-52 snagging their first win of the season at their season home opener in the ARC. With an outstanding performance on defence, ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ shutdown attacks from their opponents and capitalized on 22 turnovers from the Warriors. In the CIS, ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ currently ranks fifth in fewest turnovers committed per game averaging 14.7 so far.

Women's Hockey

The No. 5 Queen’s Gaels women’s hockey team (7-1-2) head to Waterloo to take on No. 7 Laurier (6-3-1) on Saturday at 7:30 pm and the Waterloo Warriors (3-5-3) on Sunday at 2:30 pm.

Not only is the ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ offence strong this season ranking fifth in the CIS with an average of 3.5 goals per game but their defensive play has been outstanding as they rank first in both goals against average at 1.08 and in save percentage at .955.
