Varsity Jump Starts Season

With a new line-up consisting of 10 seniors, 3 juniors, 5 sophomores, 1 freshman , the Eagles opened their 2008/09 season with two scrimmage wins over Lakeland. The Varsity outscored Lakeland 15 to 3 over the course of the two games.

Senior Chris Reinfried set the tone for the Burke boys with his usual aggressive play , while Jason Healey and Mark Woinicki led the offense. Goaltenders Dane Wakefield and Colton McGovern shut down Lakeland, allowing 3 goals on 26 shots, while seniors Tommy Mahoney, Andrew Keating , and Danny Kelly did a nice job on defense.

The schedule ahead will touch off a tough week against Catholic School opponents ST. Joes and Iona Prep at home followed by Msgr. Farrell at Staten Island.

The upcoming games should give a good indication of how competitive the Eagles will be against better competition.
