The men's hockey team (10-4-0) are on the road to start the new year as they travel to Trois-Rivieres to battle the No. 5 UQTR Patriotes (15-2-1) Friday night with puck drop set for 7pm.
Queen's closed out their 2015 schedule with a pair of home wins over the Toronto Varsity Blues (6-9-2) and the Ryerson Rams (8-9-0) in early December.
Eric Ming (Williamsville, Ont.) chipped in on all Gaels goals in their 3-1 win over Toronto with two goals and one assist. Ming added two more points on one goal and one assist in Queen's 5-2 win against Ryerson.
Over the break, head coach
Brett Gibson, along with starting netminder
Kevin Bailie (Belleville, Ont.) and defenceman
Spencer Abraham (Campbellville, Ont.), joined the CIS men's hockey all-stars for a pair of games against Canada's National Junior Team prospects. Abraham scored the lone goal of the shootout to go with two regulation assists to push the CIS all-stars to a 5-4 shootout win. Teammate Bailie earned the victory in net with his 40 save performance.
UQTR sit tied atop the OUA East with No. 2 McGill with identical 15-2-1 records. The Patriotes are riding a six game win streak into 2016, needing extra time to beat their last three opponents, Brock, McGill and Laurentian. Queen's last met UQTR in the final game of the 2014-15 regular season, when the Gaels stole a 4-3 shootout win.
With nine points in his active five game point streak, Ming sits tied at 15 points with Abraham for top scorer on the Queen's roster.
