Varsity Skates Past Fordham Prep

01/12/09

The Eagles added another Catholic School team to their conquered list with a convincing 5-3 victory over Fordham Prep. The game, played away at Rye Playland, featured another offensive outburst from the Healey, Reinfried , Woinicki line as well as fine efforts from senior defensman Tommy Mahoney and Goaltender Dane Wakefield.

Sophomore Richard Hudzik also scored a power play goal to help lift theEagles.


With three starters still out with injuries, the Varsity picked up their game to come away with the win.

Side Notes:

Senior Andrew Musco did what very few opponents have done this year; score a goal on Dane. Not unusual except for the fact that Andrew , not to be denied, knocked in his own rebound!!!.
Musco has stepped up his game this year centering the second and third lines.

Little Eagles Battle Stepinac:

The Burke JV loaded with 6th 7th and 8th graders skated to a 4-3 loss Sunday at Ice Time. Athough Stepinac held the height and weight advantage , playing all high school players, the speedy JR Eagles just came up just short of the victory.

Reinfried and Wakfield tell it like it is. See Th-Record Article:

Congratulations to our team Captains , Chris Reinfried and Tommy Mahoney, the Assistants, Andrew Keating and Jason Healey.

BANGED UP AND BRUISED

01/05/2009
The Eagles limped to their final game of the Holiday season with 4-1 victory over Paramus Catholic. The Healey,Reinfried,Hudzik line produced all the offensive damage as goaltenders Dane Wakefield and Brendan Menkens shut the door on Paramus.

With a busy holiday schedule that saw the varsity play its toughest competition of the year, losses to Iona Prep and Whitesboro were the direct result of the varsity's undisciplined play.

A total of 60 minutes in penalties by the Eagles erased any opportunity for the Eagles to succeed.

A bounce back 2-2 tie against a tough Pitsford team at the Ice Plex Tournament and the win against Paramus provided a nice finish to a rough week.

Senior Goaltender Brendan Menkens earned his first varsity win stopping 32 shots on net....

With the loss of Dolanski, the defensive unit of Kelly, Gabriele, Keating, Mahoney , Connor Dolanski worked overtime to secure the backline.

From the hospital bed.............

The injury list continues to mount with four starters sporting bandages or casts. Dillon Dolanski, Mark Woinicki,Mark McAteer , Josh Koerner, will be sidelined until further notice. Hopefully they will heal quickly and return for some important games late in the season.

Seniors Head For Homestretch.......... No Seniors on the disabled list. Look for a strong finish from the Senior boys.

Menkens, Stuart,Mahoney, Reinfried,Keating, Wakefield,

Gabriele, Musco, Kelly
