With a veteran squad returning to the ice for the Gaels they will look to push themselves to the top of the OUA East this season and secure home ice for the playoffs, something that has hindered Queen's in the last few years. The tricolour host Carleton and Ottawa to open the season with a pair of 7:30pm games at the Memorial Centre on Friday and Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend.

The Gaels will be led once again by goaltender Kevin Bailie (Belleville, Ont.) who returns for his fourth year with the Gaels and is expected to be one of the top players in all of the CIS. Defensively, Spencer Abraham (Campbellville, Ont.) who is fresh off an NHL tryout with the Florida Panthers is joined by Captain Patrick Downe (New Maryland, N.B.) to anchor the blue line again.

On offence a strong core of Eric Ming (Williamstown, Ont.), Darcy Greenaway (Odessa, Ont.), and Slater Doggett (Oakville, Ont.) will be aided by newcomers Dylan Anderson (Greely, Ont.), Brock Edwards (Kingston, Ont.), Luke Bertolucci (Montrose, B.C.) and Frankie Vilardi (Kingston, Ont.).

The Queen's Cup is the ultimate goal and the Gaels hope to bring the trophy named after their school home for the first time since 1981.

Quote from the head coach
"I am excited to see what this group of guys is capable of doing. We now have a group that has played together for a couple of years and have added some very nice pieces to compete in a very difficult OUA East Conference. We will need to find ways to manufacture more goals in order to keep up with the best in the conference, but I look forward to watching the development of some of my older guys now in their 3rd and 4th years." – Brett Gibson
