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.
