The Condors (4-4-1) tied the score 15;45 when Darryl Desbarres’ slapshot from the blueline went off Gray’s glove and bulged the twine, .^fter Dave Murphy gave the Lions the lead on a

Most people, including students, view the tax in an unfavorable light. At Conestoga College, the GST has also been applied.
