History

Gryphons goalie, Valerie Lamenta in 2014-2015.

On March 3, 2011, a postseason match between the Queen's Golden Gaels and the Guelph Gryphons became the longest collegiate hockey game, male or female, Canadian or American — on record. The match began on Wednesday and it only ended on Thursday. The duration of the match was 167 minutes and 14 seconds when Queen's forward Morgan McHaffie placed a rebound past Gryphons goalie Danielle Skoufranis.[3]

Gryphons player, Kelly Gribbons in 2014.

In the 2011-12 campaign, Jackie Sollis was named an OUA First-Team All-Star. She led all defenders in the OUA with 23 points, while forward Erin Small finished second in OUA scoring with 34 points. Along with goaltender Stephanie Nehring, the two were named OUA Second Team all-stars. Freshman goaltender Nehring was one of only two goalies to reach double digits in wins with 14. Her 1.89 goals against average ranked second overall in the OUA.[4]

Jessica Pinkerton was named to the OUA All-Rookie team, as she led all OUA rookies with 14 goals in her initial campaign. In addition, her 26 points were second overall among OUA rookies. Her nine power play goals led all scorers in the OUA, as the Gryphons enjoyed a second-place finish in the standings.

On November 17, 2015, the Guelph Gryphons were ranked No. 1 nationally for the first time in school history with a 7-2 record.[5]
