OUA M-HOCKEY ROUNDUP: GEE-GEES SURPRISE NO. 2 PATRIOTES
TROIS-RIVIÈRES, Que. - First-year left wing Matthieu Methot's (Ottawa, Ont.) first period power play goal stood as the game winner Friday as the Ottawa Gee-Gees men's hockey team shocked No. 2 UQTR with a 3-2 win at Le Colisee.
The last-place Gee-Gees halted a two-game losing streak to improve to 9-8-4 in the OUA Far East and hand the Patriotes just its second regulation loss of the season.
Third-year right winger Keven Gagne (St-Nicolas, Que.) opened the scoring for uOttawa at 1:52. Four minutes later second-year left wing Ryne Gove (Cornwall, Ont.) scored to set up Methot's game-winner at 18:30 of the first period.
Scoring for UQTR were Alexandre Blais (St-Anselme, Que.) and Etienne Bellavance-Martin (St-Jean-Chrysostome, Que.).
Gee-Gees second-year goaltender Riley Whitlock (Calgary, Alta.) made 32 saves for his ninth win of the season.
"We wanted to be more controlled and patient," said Gee-Gees head coach Dave Leger. "It was kind of boring, I guess to watch, but effective for us."
The Gee-Gees visit McGill (10-7-2 OUA) Saturday, January 24, 7:00 p.m.

NO. 5 LAKEHEAD 4, WINDSOR 3
WINDSOR, Ont. - The No. 5 Lakehead Thunderwolves men's hockey team battled past the Windsor Lancers 4-3 Friday night in Windsor, Ont. in the first of a two-game road series for the Wolves.
Lakehead goes to 16-3-1-1 in OUA play while Windsor is 11-9-0-1 in OUA action. With the win, Lakehead closes within a point of OUA Far West Division leading and CIS No. 6 Laurier.
Windsor jumped out to an early first period lead on a goal by Brett Vandehogen (Chatham, Ont.) but the Wolves fought back and built a 3-1 lead after the first period on goals by Kris Hogg (Sicamous, B.C.), Brad Priestlay (Kamloops, B.C.) and Mark Soares (Burnaby, B.C.).
Windsor scored two of their own in the second when Vandehogen notched his second of the game and the other being potted by Josh Gaynor (Goderich, Ont.). Scott Dobben (Drayton, Ont.) scored the winner for the Wolves in the third as Lakehead earned a second straight one-goal victory.
Chris Whitley (Oshawa, Ont.) notched his eighth win of the season, turning aside 27 of 30 Windsor shots while Jim Watt (Edmonton, Ont.) recorded the loss for Windsor; stopping 36 of 40 Lakehead attempts.
It was a clean game with Lakehead going 1-3 on the power play and Windsor going 0-5 with the man advantage.
The two teams take to the ice again Saturday at 2 p.m. in Windsor in the final regular season match-up of the season between the two divisional rivals.

NO. 9 WESTERN 4, WATERLOO 3
WATERLOO, Ont. - Chris Petrow (Haliburton, Ont.) scored the game-winning goal on the power play as the Western Mustangs earned their 15th win of the regular season in a 4-3 battle with the Waterloo Warriors at the Columbia Ice Fields on Jan. 23.
Petrow beat Waterloo goalie Pier Pelletier (Saint-Louis-du-Ha! Ha!, Que.) with a wrist shot through traffic which went through the five-hole with just over eight minutes remaining.
Rookie forward Yashar Farmanara (West Vancouver, B.C.) led the Mustangs in points with a pair of assists.
It was a game of momentum, as the Mustangs gave the host Warriors all they could handle in the first period, outshooting them 16-4.
Western exploded for three second-period goals, started midway through the second by Patrick Ouellet (Baie-Comeau, Que.).
Kyle Sonnenburg (Waterloo, Ont.) scored his first of two on the night to tie the game at 1-1 but freshman Jason Furlong (London, Ont.) and sophomore Kyle Lamb (Port Coquitlam, B.C.) replied just over a minute apart to give Western the 3-1 edge after two periods.
In the final frame, it was all Waterloo.
Trying to solve Topping, Mark Hartman (Lebret, Sask.) ran into the Western netminder while Waterloo was on the power play early in the third period, but it disallowed a potential goal and ended the power play, as Hartman ended up in the sin-bin instead.
But it turned out to rattle the Mustangs netminder as, on the next Waterloo scoring play, Chris Ray (Kelowna, B.C.) scored a shorthanded goal. On a 44-second five-on-three man advantage, the Warriors tied the game, as Sonnenburg scored again.
Just seconds later, the Warriors nearly took the lead when David Edgeworth (Kingston, Ont.) hit the post with Waterloo still on the power play.
But Western held the Warriors off as Petrow's power play game-winner came just over three minutes later.
