Eagles Fly High With Two Section 9 Wins

Jason Healey( 4 goals-3 assist) and Chris Reinfried(1 goal-6 assist) continued their torrid offensive streak registering 14 points over the weekend as the Varsity swept section 9 opponents O'Neill and Monroe Woodbury. Senior Goaltender Dane Wakefield had a nice little streak of his own as he recorded two shutouts in the victories.


Josh Koerner was the offensive star on Saturday with his two goal effort, yet it was the defense that shined in the win; allowing only 9 shots on net to preserve the shutout.

On Sunday the defense got tougher and better. Led by Wakefield's excellent 32 save effort, the defensive team of Mahoney, Kelly, Keating, Dolanski , Gabrielle, continually forced the Knight's shots far and wide.

Nice Weekend...good team effort.

Our first game will be the following Friday 4:15 to 5:15pm vs Newburgh. We will play as many games as possible at the Friday slot- if no game we will practice/scrimmage.

Our objective is to develop our JV program which will be a feeder for our very successful varsity program.

We hope to play approximately 8 to12 games vs club teams and Catholic schools such as Stepinac/Iona Prep/Fordham Prep..

The fee will be minimal, approximately $100-$150.00 for the season. We will not interfere with the travel schedules.

Varsity coaches, Al Trezza and Alex Trezza, will supervise the program. Scott Malonowski will be the Head Coach.
