Dalhousie forwards Benjamin Breault and Jordan Villeneuve-Gagne each had a goal as the Tigers men’s hockey team opened the season with a 2 – 1 victory Friday, Oct. 14 at Memorial Arena. St.Thomas’s starting goalie Charles Lavinge made 38 saves in the loss.

This was the Tigers’ first game in nearly two weeks, which may have resulted in the slow start. Tommies forward Felix Poulin opened the scoring just 27 seconds in, but that was all the Tommies would have to show for themselves offensively for the rest of the game.

Breault tied the game after a weak shot slipped through Lavigne’s pads 13 minutes into the opening frame. Villeneuve-Gagne’s eventual winner came 3:08into the third period.
