The No. 6 Lancer men's hockey team was back in Windsor for their first home game of 2015 Friday night at South Windsor Arena. The Lancers won the first game of a weekend double header against the Concordia Stingers 6-3.
 
Windsor came out hard right from the start and Dylan Seguin scored the Lancers first goal only 28 seconds into the game. Concordia battled back to tie the score when Antoine Houde-Caron buried a rebound.
 
In the second, the Lancers were led by Drew Palmer on the power play as he put one past Robin Billingham, with assists from Kenny Bradford and Spencer Pommells.
 
Although Seguin was sent to the box to give Concordia a power play, Windsor's JC Houde sped down the ice after a dump in and found the back of the net for an unassisted short-handed goal to put the Lancers up 3-1.
 
Concordia's captain Olivier Hinse added a power play goal in the second period, and Eric Noel put in a rebound for the Lancers to make the score 4-2 at the end of the second.
 
Mike Cristou scored on a nice pass from Blake Blondeel to open the third period, putting Windsor up 5-2. Windsor controlled most of the play in the third period, but Concordia kept fighting and on the power play, Dany Potvin was able to put one past VanBuskirk. Sebastian Beauregard added a final goal for the Lancer's with under two minutes to play to make the final score 6-3.
 
The Lancers are back at South Windsor Arena tomorrow night at 7:30 for the second of the double header vs Concordia.
