12/03/06--In a game loaded with penalties(28), the Burke Eagles responded from an earlier loss to Christ The King with a 3-0 victory on home ice. Tommy Farr, Chris Reinfried, and Jason Healey scored for the Eagles while Dane Wakefield stopped 16 shots to post the shutout.
The Eagles have now won three straight games . During that period, they have scored 16 goals while a stingy defense has only given up two.
Skating In Circles: No mystery to the fact that since senior captain Ben Falkowski moved to defense the Eagles have won three games and have become very stingy--->swing players continue to play well with Jason Healey and Justin Smith contributing on offense while Danny Kelly, Chuck Gabriele, and Andrew Keating have done well on defense-talking about defense-Ross Flood,Tommy Mahoney and Greg Brushett have helped secure the backline-->the Goaltending tandem of Mike Beck and Dane Wakefield had a terrific week in net stopping fifty shots while allowing only two goals--->Junior getting it going.... Billy Hluchan off to a great start with a team best 9 pts ( 3goals/6assist--team stats ) while linemates Alex Pizzano and Chris Reinfried have helped shut down opponents top lines-- and John Conroy has also been finding the score sheet with 6 pts and only 1.5 minutes in penalties- > Assistant Captain Billy Beysel working hard both on the ice and off keeping things in order on the third line with Craig Rybicki and Declan Lundington---thanks to the team mgr Rob Hamilton for helping out on the bench......
Next Game: Saturday-Dec 9th - 7:30 pm vs Lakeland.
