OSHAWA, Ont. - Jack Patterson (Bedford, N.S.) set the Ridgeback record for points in a game, with five, in Saturday night's 7-3 win over the RMC Paladins.

The men's hockey record was previously set at four points in January 2009 by Josh Vatri, with several players tying that record over the next 10-plus seasons.

Patterson finished the night with his first OUA hat-trick, adding two assists, but he fell a goal short of tying the single-game goal record of four set by Mitch Bennett on Nov. 30, 2013 against the Nipissing Lakers.
