MONTREAL - Evan Vossen of Swift Current, Sask., scored four goals and added a helper as No.7-ranked McGill trounced Queen's 10-1 in men's university hockey at McConnell Arena, Friday.

 

It improved McGill's record to 3-0 in OUA play and marked the first four-goal game by a member of the Redmen in more than a decade, since David Burgess accomplished the feat in a 7-1 victory over Toronto, Nov. 14, 1998.

 

Vossen, a six-foot, 190-pound left winger who now has five goals in three games, only tallied seven times all of last year and had just four goals in his freshman campaign. The 23-year-old industrial relations junior snapped a scoreless draw at 1:41 of the second stanza. He set up Guillaume Doucet's marker 15 minutes later to give McGill a 4-1 lead, then made it 5-1 at 19:50 of the period. He then added back-to-back markers at 11:55 and 17:36 of the third to give the Redmen a commanding 8-1 lead.

 

Doucet, a junior from Anjou, Que., had a five-point soiree to match Vossen's totals.

 

Vossen's final tally, at 17:36, sparked a three-goal outburst in 17 seconds with Swiss native Tim Drager connecting at 17:46 and freshman Jean-Francois Boisvert of Mirabel, Que., striking at 17:53. It snapped a 75-year-old school record (three goals in 30 seconds) that had been in the books since a 12-2 victory over Harvard on Jan. 8, 1934.

 

Boisvert finished with a pair, including his first career CIS goal, a feat also accomplished by Drager.

 

McGill dominated from start to finish and had a resounding 44-14 margin in shots on net, scoring all 10 goals on beleaguered Gaels netminder Mackenzie Ball of Shannonville, Ont., whose record fell to 2-3.

 

Jordan Mirwaldt of Winnipeg counted the lone Queen's goal, a shorthanded effort which made the score 3-1 midway through the middle period.

 

With Redmen goaltender Hubert Morin not dressed due to illness,  sophomore Danny Mireault made his first appearance since a Sept. 26 preseason game at UNB, made 12 saves and received credit for the win but was felled by a hard shot on the upper chest area with seven minutes remaining and had to be replaced by freshman Hunter Shaw. The 19-year-old from Penticton, B.C., was called upon to make only one save.

 

Despite the lopsided score, the Redmen failed to score a power play goal for the third straight contest, going 0-for-7. McGill has outscored opponents 20-4 in league play but are 0-for-20 on the power play.

 

Queen's (2-3) plays at Concordia (0-7) on Saturday afternoon, while McGill (3-0) plays host to RMC (2-2-1) at 2 p.m. That contest will be a mini-Homecoming for a trio of former McGill players now members of the Paladins, including defenceman Ken Morin, who played for the Red and White from 2005 to 2009, serving as team captain last year, plus head coach Adam Shell (1999-03) and assistant coach Chad Blundy (2000-05).

 

REDMEN RAP: McGill has now won 15 consecutive meetings with Queen's since a 5-2 setback in Kingston on Feb. 6, 2004.  The Redmen have prevailed in 54 of the last 59 confrontations with their arch-rivals and now lead the all-time series versus the Gaels with a 107-50-2 record dating back more than a century to 1895.
