BOX SCORE KINGSTON, Ont. (January 6, 2011) – The Queen's Gaels (6-8-2) men's hockey team used three first period goals to defeat the RMC Paladins (1-15-1) 6-1 Thursday night to snap their six game losing streak.

Coming into the game, the Gaels last victory was a 5-4 shootout win over the Ottawa Gee-Gees back on November 5.

The win also marks the first victory in regulation for Queen's this season after winning their first five games in either overtime or a shootout.

The Gaels opened the scoring on the powerplay midway through the first period as Stephane Chabot of Rockland, Ont., scored his first of the season, beating RMC goalie Andrew Flemming of Quispamsis, N.B., high over the shoulder.

Just 17 seconds later, Scott Kenway of Calgary, created a turnover in the Paladins zone and from the slot, beat Flemming past the blocker to make it 2-0.

Before the period was out, Gaels leading scorer Joey Derochie of Sudbury, Ont., put on a stick-handling display, beating an RMC defender before roofing a backhander over Flemming stretching the lead to three.

After Ben Munroe of Kingston, Ont., notched another powerplay marker early in the second, Justin Lacey of Sudbury, Ont., got the Paladins on the board with a powerplay goal of his own.

From there, Queen's would shutdown the Paladins, not allowing them to sustain any pressure in the offensive zone.

Payton Liske of Welland, Ont., and Jordan Mirwaldt of Winnipeg, would add powerplay goals in the third period to round out the scoring.

For the game, the Gaels went 4 for 8 on the powerplay while RMC finished the game 1 for 3.

David Aime of Clandeboye, Man., earned his second win of the season, turning aside 22 shots while Flemming stopped 32 shots in the loss for RMC.

Up next for Queen's, they will host the Toronto Varsity Blues tomorrow night at the Kingston Memorial Centre. Puck drop is set for 8:30 pm.
