02/10/2009Heading into the final weekend of the season, the Burke varsity sitting on top of the standings, looks to repeat as Section 9 Champions.
The task will not be easy as all three league opponents will be waiting to knock off the Eagles; NFA on Friday 9:30pm-Monroe 6:30 on Saturday-O'Neill 4:30 on Sunday.
If the Eagles can repeat, they will be the first Burke Hockey team to win back to back league championships.
Following the tough weekend encounters, the varsity will play O'Neill on February 22nd to decide the D2 league championship. The winner heads to Potstown for the state regional final and a chance to compete in Utica for the state title.
Notes:
Sunday's Game vs O'Neill will also be Senior Night. We will recognize our seniors (Chris Reinfried, Tommy Mahoney, Dane Wakefield, Danny Kelly, Chuck Gabriele, Andrew Musco, Taylor Stuart, Brendan Menkens, Andrew Keating, Colton McGovern, and their parents) for their participation and loyalty to the Burke Hockey program.
The JV game on February 16th has been cancelled.
