Eagle Varsity/ Jv Perfect For The Week

12/09/2007

Coming off a sloppy 3-2 mid week win over Fieldstone Prep, Goaltender Mike Beck recorded his first shutout of the season with a 5-0 whitewash of league opponent NFA. With the win the varsity improves to 5-1 on the season and 1-1 in Section 9 play.

This contest was about defense. Committed to shutting down their opponent , the Burke boys aggressively forchecked in the offensive zone and smothered any offensive chances by the young NFA team.

The total shots on net ( Burke 45-NFA 15) pretty much indicated the the Eagles control of the game.

Greg Brushett, Ross Flood , Alex Pizzano, Chris Reinfried , Jayson Healey , each contributed one goal in the victory.

MONROE WINS STATE TITLE

Burke's main rival in Section 9 hockey skated to a state title in Utica this past weekend. Burke was only one of two teams that blemished the Crusader's record this season with a 3-3 tie in January.

Congratulations to coach Bascardi and all his players for a great season.

WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR............

B2/25/07: Monroe forward pins Monroe's goalie Sean O'Sullivan against the net during the section 9 championship game. Monroe won 7 to 2. Burke scored one of their two goals on the play.
Times Herald-Record/KEN BIZZIGOT

UPDATE:03/05/2007
The Burke Varsity provided a gritty effort yet came up short in their quest for a Section 9 title. The Crusaders' explosive speed was too much for the Eagles resulting in a 7-2 loss.
Despite the setback, the Eagles provided a game effort resulting in an exciting final. Hats off to both teams and good luck to the Crusaders as they battle for a state championship.

Notes. There will be a spring clinic on Wednesday nights-(8-9pm)-beginning in May for approximately 6 weeks.. Cost will be determined by the number of players that sign up. ALL varsity/JV/new players are welcome to sign on. Usa insurance is necessary ( travel players should have it)--if not--an extra $25.00 insurance fee will be needed. The format for the clinic will be drills followed by a scrimmage. The idea is to continue building team unity-keep players skating and improve their skills--get an idea of next year's team. The clinic is not mandatory.
You can sign up by email to BurkeHockey@gmail.com or at school. There will be announcements and sign up sheets at school.

UPDATE 02/12/2007

• The Eagles posted a 5-2 league win over O'Neill on Thursday at West Point. Alex Pizzano(2) Ben Falkowski(1) and Tommy Mahoney(1) provided the offense while Mike Beck and Dane Wakefield combined to make 12 saves in the victory. Chris Reinfried (2) and Justin Smith (1) assisted on the goals.

• The Monroe Knights flashed their speed and offense defeating the Eagle varsity 5-0 at Icetime. Goaltenders Mike Beck and Dane Wakefield did their best to hold off the Knights, stopping 30 shots on net, but the Burke boys could not generate any offense to offset the attack.

With the loss, the Burke boys will now host Newburgh on Sunday February 18th ( tentative time 4:15pm) in the preliminary round of the playoffs. The game should be a good contest between two teams that played to a 2-2 tie in their last encounter. Burke won their first meeting 4-0.

The road to the Championship will not be easy , yet the Burke boys are capable.

The competition is what makes it fun.

Notes: The game scheduled for this Tuesday against the Harvey school has been cancelled. Our regular practice remains in effect; Tuesday 5:45 at Icetime.

02/08/2007

Please note the game scheduled for Friday 02/09 has been cancelled; Clarkstown South had to make up a league game. There is a mandatory practice 9pm at Ice Time.

SNOW POLICY:

Do not travel if you feel it is to dangerous.......

Weekend Update::01/27/07

After a tough loss to a pretty good Fordham Prep team on Friday at Rye Playland , the Burke boys re-bounded with a comeback 4-3 victory over Brewster HS. The Eagles ,who have been struggling as of late , demonstrated some real resolve by overcoming a two goal deficit and shutting down their opponent for the final two periods.

With the Eagles trailing 3-2 entering the third period , the sometimes anemic offense stormed the Brewster net to score the tying and winning goals. Chris Reinfried, Tommy Farr, Greg Brushett, and John Conroy got the scoring job done, while goaltender Mike Beck and a tenacious Eagle defense preserved the lead.

When the Eagles work hard, play ' their game', they become very stingy.

With five games remaining plus playoffs, the Burke boys are capable of deciding their own fate.

Next Practices: regular weekly practice

Next game: Sunday--6:45pm--icetime--Jefferson NJ,HS

Next Week: Thursday --02/08/07-O'NEILL--WEST POINT -9PM///FRIDAY--02/09-CLARKSTOWN SOUTH-9PM ICE TIME------02/11-MONROE - 6:45PM-ICETIME

01/20/2007

Just when it seemed like the Burke Varsity would escape with a league victory , NFA scored a late goal to set up an exciting overtime period and gain a 2-2 tie. Credit both teams with fast paced end to end action - and some excellent goaltending- in the extra stanza to preserve the tie.

Goaltender Mike Beck stopped 16 shots on net in regulation and one outstanding save in overtime; rambling outside his net to keep the Eagles in the game.

The Burke boys attacked during the overtime, playing their best hockey of the night, yet could not net the winner.

The team has struggled since their battle against Monroe and must look to find their game down the stretch.

Next Game: Friday vs Fordham Prep away ( there will be a bus- all players must travel both ways on the bus)----Saturday vs Brewster @ IceTime

Reminder: Two games have been added to the open dates on the schedule--make sure to to check schedule on the Varsity page.

1. Sunday--02/04/07--6:45pm--Ice Time--vs--Jefferson Twsp
2. Friday--02/09/07--9:30pm-- Ice Time--vs--Clarkstown South

01/14/2007

With all of the swing players minding the fort for their teammates away on a school trip, the Eagles suffered two losses over the weekend at the Clarkstown Tournament; 8-2 vs. Clarkstown North and 6-3 vs. Clarkstown South. Despite the losses, the truncated varsity battled back after a rough start vs.North and nearly stole a victory against South in the final.

With the score tied 2-2 vs South, Danny Kelly scored a shorthanded breakaway goal to put the Eagles up 3-2 with four minutes left in the third period in the consolation game. But what has plagued the Eagles all season, two silly penalties,proved to be their downfall and deflated what could have been a well-earned and surprising victory.

Swing players Andrew Keating, Chuck Gabriel, Dillon Dolansky, Andrew Musco, Jason Healey and Danny Kelly all played well and gave their best effort under some tough circumstances.

The Burke varsity will now head into the final portion of the season with league games Thursday against O’Neill and Saturday against Newburgh.

Notes: Congratulations to Chris Reinfried for being selected by the coach to the All- Tournament Team.---Clarkstown North defeated Monroe 4-2 in the finals.

01/07/07

The Eagle varsity responded to their first big match-up of the season with undefeated Monroe by playing to a 3-3 tie.

The overtime game featured some fine goal-tending by junior Mike Beck supported by a hard working cast of team members.

Eagle goal scorers Declan Ludington, Alex Pizzano and Greg Brushett staked Burke to 3-2 lead, but the Knights struck with a goal at 6.52 of the third period to even the contest; sending the game into a wild, evenly played, five minute overtime.

The defense, led by Greg Brushett, Billy Menkens, Ross Flood, Tommy Mahoney and Danny Kelly continually thwarted the efforts of the speedy Knight forwards who pressed the action.

Captain Ben Falkowski played his best game of the season; logging major ice time on regular shifts, penalty kills,and power plays.

Although the Burke boys did not get the win, the deadlock against the #1 Div 2 team in the state represented their best effort of the season.

The bar has been raised.......

Next game: 01/10--8:30pm--@SportoRama--vs ST.Joes

Weekend Update 01/01/07

After posting an eight game winning streak, the Varsity Eagles stumbled on the holiday road trip with defeats to Iona Prep 6-3 and Jefferson Twsp (NJ) 4-3; both teams are in first place in their respective divisions.

On Friday, Iona Prep demonstrated their impressive speed, as they jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first period. What looked like a blowout suddenly became a contest, as Chris Reinfried, Greg Brushett, and the hard working Eagles responded with two goals. Burke continued to swarm the net but could not get things even.

With the door left open, Iona’s quick offense scored three unanswered goals to ice the victory.

On Saturday, the finals of the Jefferson Township Tournament in Skylands NJ, the Eagles suffered their most disappointing loss of the season; losing 4-3 in the last minute of play.

With two early goals by Tommy Farr and John Conroy, the varsity looked poised to capture the first Skylands Cup with a 2-0 lead. Yet the home team, Jefferson Township, had different plans, as they chipped away to tie the score at two.

After a hard working goal by Danny Kelly with an assist from Greg Brushett put the varsity on top 3-2 at the end of two, Jefferson battled back with goals in the first and last minute of play of the third period to capture the Cup.

Hats off to both teams for a hard fought contest.

Next Game : Monroe 01/06/07—
