KINGSTON, Ont. (November 8, 2014) - The men's hockey team broke through offensively Saturday night as they took down RMC 14-4 at the Memorial Centre. The 14 goals was the most in a single game for Queen's since 1985.

Queen's dominated play from the drop of the puck, tallying six goals in the first frame. Blair Wentworth (Calgary) opened the scoring with his first of the season when he corralled a loose puck in the slot and fired it to the top right corner. Patrick McGillis (Calgary) doubled the lead after poking home a rebound in the crease. Warren Steele (Williamsburg, Ont.) added a goal of his own when his blast from the point found its way through the screen and into the back of the net. Two minutes later, Darcy Greenaway (Wilton, Ont.) buried his third of the season after captain Corey Bureau (Amherstview, Ont.) set him up for a one-timer in the slot. Wentworth followed with his second of the night and Taylor Clements (Toronto) added his first of the season to put Queen's ahead 6-0 after the opening period. 

The Gaels continued to generate offence and capitalize on scoring opportunities as Bureau added to the lead, beating replacement goaltender Paul Mazzolin on a breakaway. Queen's collected another the following minute as Yannick Laflamme (Thetford Mines, Que.) buried a shot from the point for the powerplay tally. Eric Ming (Williamstown, Ont.) and Patrick Downe (New Maryland, N.B.) each added a goal of their own to give the Gaels a commanding 10-0 lead. RMC found the scoresheet in the final minutes of the middle frame with back-to-back powerplay goals from Jake Bullen and Kyle Phillips. 

Queen's quickly added to their lead as Laflamme, McGillis and Greenaway each registered their second tally of the night in the opening five minutes of the final period. Wentworth deposited the final goal for the Gaels as he lead a two-on-one rush and buried a wrist shot to complete the hat-trick. 

Final shots for the game totalled 48 to 32 in favour of Queen's. Goaltender Chris Clarke (Fall River, N.S.) started in net for the Gaels, collecting the 28 save win, while Mitchell Brown and Mazzolin of RMC combined for the 34 save loss. McGillis led all skaters with five points for the night. 

The Gaels (5-4-0) return to action Friday night when they travel to Toronto to take on the Ryerson Rams (6-3-1).
