Box Score The University of Toronto Varsity Blues men's hockey team shut out the York Lions 3-0 on Friday, February 7 at Varsity Arena.

The win, U of T's second straight shutout victory, catapults the Blues (13-10-2) into a three-way tie for fifth place with the Guelph Gryphons (12-10-4) and Lions (13-9-2).

The Blues opened the scoring midway through the first period as team captain Blake Boddy (Scarborough) sent a cross-crease pass to Jeff Brown (Toronto) who made no mistake in finding the back of the net. U of T led 1-0 after 20 minutes of action.

Rookie forward Russell Turner (Jasper, Alta.) notched an insurance marker, his second goal of the season, as he received a behind the back pass from fellow first-year forward Dean Klomp and wired it in with 2:52 remaining in the game.

Klomp added an empty-netter in the final minute as the Blues skated away with the 3-0 win.

Third-year goalie Brett Willows (Rivers, Man.) posted 32 saves in his second shut out win of the season.

The Varsity Blues return to action tomorrow night as they head to Windsor, Ont., to take on the Lancers. Game time is set for 7:30 p.m.
