--- Cushing and Dexter Battle to 2-2 Deadlock

Brookline, Mass. --- Nothing was decided as two of the top teams in prep hockey, Cushing Academy and host Dexter, battled to a 2-2 tie here this afternoon.

The game was an up-and-down affair with more skating than playmaking. That said, it was compelling viewing for an early December matchup.

Cushing got on the board just 57 seconds in, as top line winger Bailey Conger, with his back practically to the wall in the left corner, spotted d-man Patrick Horrocks breaking toward the net and hit him with a picture-perfect pass.

Dexter would get it back with a power-play tally by Kevin Hock with 1:35 left in the period. The play started when Bryan Green, from behind the goal line, spotted Sean Keohan on the point. Keohan fired on net and Kevin Hock neatly tipped the puck past Cushing’s Daccord.

After the tying goal, Dexter kept the pressure on in the Cushing end, but to no avail. The period ended at 1-1.

Dexter had a decided edge in play in an up-and-down second period. Both teams had opportunities off of turnovers, but with nothing to show for it. The plays generally died before turning into genuine scoring opportunities.

Much of the credit for that can go to the d-corps on both teams. Not many prep games contain more young, skilled defensemen than were on display today. Dexter boasted junior Luke McInnis, sophomore Sean Keohan, and freshman Jack Rathbone. On the visitor’s side, juniors Matt Dillon and Ethan Roswell, and 6’3” sophomore Brian Scoville were consistently noticeable. Only Dexter’s Keohan played prep hockey last year.      

With 7:45 left in the third, Cushing senior Jake Simons made a heads-up play, taking the puck off the end boards in the Dexter end and tucking it short side on Dexter sophomore goaltender Liam Moore. However, Moore had intentionally nudged the post off its mooring and the goal was waved off. Cushing protested, quite rightly, but to no avail.

With four minutes left in the third, Cushing fouled up their defensive coverage by backing in and before they knew what was going on, Dexter’s Pat Daly, a repeat junior transfer from Andover, came flying down the left side of the big sheet with no Cushing player within 20 feet. Curling in front of Daccord all alone, Daly held the puck before tucking it home to give Dexter what looked likely to hold up as the game-winner.

But no.

Just 1:51 later, Simons got back the goal he had taken away from him earlier in the period, burying the rebound of a point shot by Cushing senior D Trevor Kacz. It was now 2-2, a score that held up through the end of the third and the entire five-minute OT period, which never generated much flow.

Both goalies were solid, Daccord stopping 36 of 38, and Moore 28 of 30.

“I’m disappointed we didn’t win on the road but getting any points is better than getting no points,” Cushing head coach Rob Gagnon said afterward. “We battled back and showed some moxie.”

Gagnon also felt his squad did a good job containing Dexter star center Ryan Donato. “We bottled him up as well as we could,” he said. “I thought our D kept an eye out for that toe drag of his, and fronted him well.”

Dexter coach Dan Donato was less pleased with the outcome. “I don’t think we finished the game,” he said. “That’s something we have to learn to do.”

Donato pointed out that for the second game in a row, his team had gotten off to a weak start. In Sunday’s exhibition against St. Andrew’s College, his starting line allowed a goal on the first shift. The exact same thing happened today.

“But I felt we got better in the second and third periods,” he said, “much like in Sunday’s game.”

“Cushing is a good team and a 2-2 tie is not bad. We’ll get better for having played this game.”

The two teams could meet again soon, in the playoff round at the Lawrence-Groton Christmas Tournament.

--- Salisbury Opens Title Defense With 5-1 Win Over Taft

Salisbury, Conn. – Salisbury opened its defense of its prep crown with a decisive 5-1 win over visiting Taft today.

The winning goal came off the stick of defenseman Brett Stirling at 1:29 of the third period, as the senior ripped a shot from the right faceoff circle that beat Taft senior goaltender Joseph Lissack to the far side.

For the first two periods, Lissak was the story of the game, making the stops he had to make, plus a   highlight reel glove save on Kale Kane with 3:35 left in the second. Despite the shots being 25-11 Salisbury after two periods, Lissack was able to get the Rhinos to the third period on the road in a 1-1 game.

It was no small thing, either. Salisbury possessed the puck extremely well. If they had an opportunity they went for it. If not, they regrouped and tried again. Taft was effective over the first two periods in keeping the shots to the perimeter, clearing out in front, and limiting second-chance shots.

But the third period was a different story, as Salisbury buried four goals, two by Stirling, sandwiched around power play goals by junior F Mike O’Leary and senior D James Gobetz.

“I thought the third period got away from us,” Taft head coach Danny Murphy said afterward.

“We played well through the first two periods, but between killing off several penalties in the second and Salisbury’s constant puck possession our guys got worn down by the third period. I was happy with our team’s compete level, but that’s a very deep team over there.”

On the other side Salisbury’s Andrew Will said, “I thought we played hard tonight. We were sloppy in the beginning, and overanxious. But as the game went on, we calmed down and played our game.”

Sat. Dec. 13, 2014 Highlights

 LA Ties Up Belmont Hill

Belmont, Mass. – With one minute left in regulation Lawrence sophomore Esbjorn Fogstad Vold fired an ice level shot, near corner, beating Belmont Hill junior goalie Matt Barrow and lifting Lawrence to a 4-4 tie on the road.

This is a different LA squad than last year’s group that finished 5-20-3 overall, and 1-12-1 in Keller play (slightly ahead of Governor’s 1-13-0). Second-year coach Robbie Barker has 13 new players on the roster.  And it’s a young team – four freshmen, and nine sophs are rostered – but they didn’t seem fazed playing Belmont Hill, which is going through some early-season woes, and is also young. (They took a 2-0 lead into the third at Governor’s Wednesday, but gave up three straight goals, losing 3-2).

In the first period today, Belmont Hill took an early lead when sophomore Jonathan Folsom cut across the slot and wristed a high shot over the glove of Mike Robinson, Lawrence’s 6’5” junior goalie.

LA got it back late in the period when some bad d-zone coverage down low allowed freshman J.J. Harding to knock home a rebound of his own shot at the 15:52 mark.

In the second, Belmont Hill senior, top-line center, and Dartmouth recruit Charlie Michalowski, in the offensive zone, steamrolled LA sophomore Matthew Hayes on the half wall. It was totally unnecessary, and put Lawrence on a five-minute power play. LA was unable to take advantage, however.

And Belmont Hill got the next goal, on a David Giunta shot from the left point that deflected off Robinson’s upper arm. That gave the Hillies a 2-1 lead to take into the second intermission.

The third period was goal-filled, with Lawrence, early on, scoring a pair several minutes apart, the first when freshman Timmy Kent scored off a rebound, the second when senior Richard Cardillo’s shot from the point deflected off the shin pad of a teammate – sophomore Craig Needham -- and into the net to give LA a 3-2 lead.

Later in the period Bel Hill got two goals less than two minutes apart, from sophomore Sam Hesler, and senior Charlie McConnell, who knocked home a rebound to give the Hillies a 4-3 lead. But they couldn’t hold it, as Vold, a 6’3” sophomore from Norway,  scored the tying goal with exactly 60 seconds left on the clock.

Early in OT, LA sophomore D Jamie Swiggett wrapped his arms around Michalowski, who was driving to the net, giving Bel Hill a power play, but they couldn’t cash in.  

After the game, Belmont Hill coach Jeremiah McCarthy was clearly frustrated. “No one played consistently well for three periods,” he said. “We’re trying to get up to speed, and we have a lot of youth. We are not in sync.”

“In order to elevate your game, you have to use your teammates in order to get consistent results,” he said, adding, “We didn’t do that.”

LA coach Robbie Barker said he wasn’t happy about settling for a tie. “I don’t think we skated the way we’re capable of,” he said. “We have young kids and my expectations are high. Belmont Hill battled and we battled. It’s good that our guys could bounce back at the end, but we have a lot to improve on.”

“Robinson may not have had his best game,” Barker added, “but he competes and he made some good saves when he needed to.”

Nobles Knocks off Dexter, 4-1
Brookline, Mass. – Noble & Greenough, behind two power play goals and a three-point (1g,2a) night from senior Miles Wood, topped host Dexter before a large Friday night crowd here. Juniors Danny Jacobs (1g,1a) and Mike Fahie (2a) were also offensive factors for Nobles.

Nobles junior goaltender Brendan Cytulik played a strong game, kicking out 34 of 35 shots for the win. Dexter outshot Nobles 35-26.

Dexter went on top early in this game, scoring a first period goal on a Pat Daly tip at the 7:35 mark.

Nobles got it back at 12:20 as senior Billy Sweezey, just inside the blue line, teed up a shot that beat unscreened Dexter goalie Liam Moore five-hole.

In the second period, Nobles dominated, keeping the puck in the Dexter end for long stretches.

Nobles went up 2-1 when senior d-man Billy Carrabino, on the power play, fired one from the right faceoff circle, beating Moore cleanly at 7:22.

Nobles made it 3-1 when Wood made a great cross-ice pass right onto the stick of linemate Cody Todesco, who whipped a wrister past Moore at the 8:15 mark 

 In the third period, Nobles scored their final goal of the game when, on the power play, Wood, from the bottom of the right faceoff circle, fired a top-shelf wrister at the 3:08 mark.

With 6:32 left in the third, and with the play in the Nobles end, Wood plowed over Dexter’s Ryan Donato in the slot and was called for a major and a game misconduct. Donato left the ice holding his right shoulder, but was back out for the next shift.

Given a long stretch of power play time, Dexter put a lot of shots on Cytulik and hit a crossbar and a post. Dexter was without junior D Luke McInnis – he’s day to day – and his loss was particularly noticeable on the power play, which is normally potent, with a lot of puck movement and rotation from Matt Brazel, McInnis, and Donato on the umbrella, with big bodies Sam D’Antuono and Kevin Hock up front. Tonight, that lengthy PP at the end of the third was set up traditionally and was static despite a good number of shots. At any rate, that was Dexter’s last best hope – and they came up empty.

Afterwards, Nobles' head coach Brian Day said, “I was pleased with the effort, especially after our performance on Wednesday (a 5-3 loss at Tabor). We are trying to establish an identity, and that means caring about your teammates and self-sacrifice. We did that tonight and beat a hell of a team. It was nice for the kids to see.”

As for standouts, Day said, “Miles Wood was excellent in all three zones, with five hits in the first period alone. His back checks were terrific. It energized us.”

Choate Edges Westy in OT, 2-1

Wallingford, Conn. – A goal by freshman Jack Hoey, off a clean win on the draw by senior captain Jeremy Germain, lifted host Choate to a 2-1 Founders’ League win over Westminster here today.

The goal, which came 2:04 into the extra session, came after Westminster controlled the first 90 seconds of overtime, pinning Choate in their end.

This was a good, fast-paced prep game with each team getting 7-8 quality scoring chances. The goaltending – Choate’s Sam Tucker and Westy’s Stephen Gasior – was very good.

After a feeling-out period, Westminster started to control the play a bit in the first period and, at the 12:17 mark, senior Jack Fitzgerald, on a 2-on-1, fed junior Johnny McDermott, who one-timed it past Tucker for a 1-0 lead.

Early in the second, both goalies made key saves to keep it a 1-0 game. First, Tucker came up with a big save on a one-timer, then, at the other end, Gasior made an almost identical save. Other than that, chances were few and far between in the second, which turned out to be scoreless.

In the third period, Choate, on the power play, tied the game at 1-1 when Germain, behind the net, fed it out front to junior Henry Marshall, who one-timed it past Gasior, blocker side, at the 3:04 mark.

And that was it. Westminster controlled most of the extra session – until Hoey’s strike.

“Westy always brings their ‘A’ game to Choate,” Wild Boars coach Patrick Dennehy said. “I felt they controlled the first period, and we had to battle to bring it back to more of an even game.”

Westminster’s Tim Joncas said, “It was a good prep school hockey game. But we have to find a way to win one-goal games.”

USHR Three Stars: 1) Jeremy Germain, Choate 2) Johnny McDermott, Westminster 3) Jake Smith, Choate – and, we should add, both goalies were excellent.

Taft Squeaks Past Avon in OT

Watertown, Conn. --- Taft got an OT goal from senior F Marcus Mollica to edge Avon Old Farms 4-3 here today.

The ending was not without drama, as Taft had to come back from a 3-2 deficit entering the third period. The Rhinos, however, got the tying goal at 8:23 of the third when senior D Tommy Mahoney blasted a shot from the point that looked like it was headed wide to the near side, but instead hit a player in front and, as it was sitting about six inches from the goal line, Peter Straub knocked it in.

Avon took a penalty late in the third. Taft had a good scoring opportunity, but couldn’t cash in. Ditto for Avon, which had a 2-on-1 off a blocked shot, but couldn’t convert.

Eighteen seconds of the penalty carried over to OT. Things got interesting here. With the play in Avon’s end, an Avon d-man made a cross-ice stretch pass to the far blue line to junior forward Jamie Armstrong, who had just hopped over the boards as the penalty was about to expire. However, the ref blew the whistle, ruling that the Avon player was still in the penalty box, at least partially, and, furthermore, the penalty had not expired when Armstrong received the pass. Therefore, he ruled, Avon had too many men on the ice. It was one of those calls that probably wouldn’t have been called but for the fact that Armstrong played the puck. Avon coach John Gardner was furious over the call – really furious.

On the ensuing power play, Straub had the puck at the top of the left faceoff circle and passed it laterally to Sam Nestor at the right circle. Nestor walked in a step or two and threw it toward net. It came right out front to Marcus Mollica who knocked it home to the delight of the Taft fans, who went nuts.

Early on in this game, there were some key moments. Taft had a 2-0 first period lead on goals by Matteo Mangiardi and Mollica, the latter on the PP, but Avon sophomore Patrick Harper scored two goals in the final minute of the period. The first was a beauty; the second a bunny.

Taft went into the first intermission a little shocked by the sudden turn of events, but came out and played hard in the second. Still, Avon scored the only goal of the second, taking a 3-2 lead on a John Giatrelis tally at 5:31, with Harper, who had a hand in all three Avon goals, assisting.

But that was it for the Winged Beavers. Taft tied it in the third on the aforementioned Straub goal, and then won it in OT.

This was a great prep game, a puck possession affair which was more about skill than physicality. There was little in the way of chipping out or dumping in. But passes were plentiful and fun to watch. The play was very back and forth, with no serious stretch of extended play in either end. Both goalies, Avon senior Tucker Weppner (21/25), and Taft senior Joseph Lissak (25/28) were very good. The top lines for each team, Avon’s Harper, Armstrong, and Jake Gresh, and Taft’s Straub, Nestor, and Mollica stood out.

Taft coach Danny Murphy said, “I was really proud of our team. I thought they showed real resilience. We played a great first period, then Harper scored a phenomenal goal followed by a long shot that Joe would normally have. It was 2-2 very quickly.”

Sat. Dec. 6 Highlights
Salisbury Edges Williston, 4-3; Will Ejected

Easthampton, Mass. -- A Cole Poliziani goal with 2:52 remaining lifted Salisbury to a hard-earned 4-3 win over host Williston-Northampton today.

On the winning goal, Williston was breaking out of the zone when the puck hit a linesman standing against the boards just outside the blue line and deflected onto the stick of the junior from Oakville, Ontario, who fired it under the crossbar, beating Williston junior goaltender Shane Mason -- and popping the top off the water bottle as well. Jordan Kaplan and Quincy Gregg were credited with assists on the play.

Salisbury head coach Andrew Will wasn’t around to see the end of this one, as he was ejected 39 seconds into the third period. Salisbury senior Kale Kane was assessed a major and game misconduct for a hit to the head. As Kane was heading to the box, Will, who felt it should have been a minor, calmly questioned the call to one referee when the second ref came over and quickly tossed him.

After the game, Will said, “I didn’t even get the chance to get in any good words.” 

Our reporter on the scene, along with both coaches, felt it was a terribly officiated game – equally bad both ways.

At the start of the game, Salisbury came out blazing and broke to a 1-0 lead on a goal from Kaplan at the 2:19 mark. Williston answered with a goal from senior forward Jack Gethings at 8:55.

At the 10:03 mark, Salisbury got a powerplay goal from junior defenseman Dayne Finnson to take a 2-1 lead into the first intermission.

In the second, Williston, a tenacious, feisty team came out hard, changed their forecheck to a really aggressive 2-3 with the D pinching hard along the wall – and dominated the first five minutes of play. They did everything but score.

However, right after the flurry, at the 6:31 mark, Williston’s Gethings scored his second goal of the game, on a breakaway, to tie it up at 2-2.

About 30 seconds later, Salisbury’s Poliziani, off a rebound, had a wide-open net to shoot at, but hit a post.

However, Salisbury would go up 3-2 when senior Vimal Sukumaran scored on a rebound of a Kane shot at 8:30.  

In the third, Salisbury killed off the major to Kane to start the third, then a big hit by a Williston defenseman led to a 3-on-1 for his teammates which junior Jack Kelly finished off by firing the puck over the glove of Salisbury PG goalie Bailey MacBurnie at 9:31 of the third to tie it at 3-3. Senior Brandon Bork got an assist on the goal.

A good stretch of back-and-forth hockey followed until, with 2:52 left, Poliziani made amends for missing the open net by scoring the game-winner. Williston pulled Mason and had a flurry at the end – but to no avail.

The final shots were 37-21 in favor of the visitors. Mason was very good for Williston, taking away everything down low. He also controlled rebounds well. Salisbury was the better, deeper team, but Williston showed a lot of mettle. They are tough to play against. Not a dump-and-chase team, they prefer to move the puck.

“They are a tough team to play against in their barn,” said Will afterward.

Their top line of sophomore Nick Schofield, PG Jared Karas, and senior Tyler Scroggins was kept off the scoreboard but were effective nonetheless.

Williston coach Derek Cunha said, “The margin of error is so slim when you are going up against the big dogs. You just can’t make turnovers in the neutral zone or take too many penalties.”

***
Kimball Union 6 @ Vermont Academy 2 – Six different scorers came through for the Wildcats, and junior Elijah Harris kicked out 26 of 28 shots. Junior F Justin Cole (1g,1a) figured in both of VA’s goals.

Avon Old Farms 8 @ Albany Academy 2 – The hosts held a 2-1 lead halfway through the second, but Avon scored seven unanswered goals from that point on. Sophomore Patrick Harper (1g,4a), junior Jamie Armstrong (3g,1a), and senior Chase Zieky (1g,2a) led the Winged Beavers attack.

Brooks 5 @ BB&N 0 – An efficient, well-balanced Brooks squad blanked an extremely young BB&N squad behind a pair of goals from senior PJ Kelleher. For BB&N, junior goaltender Sihak Lee hung in there, stopping 38 of 43 shots. Brooks senior Max Prawdzik (11/11) had the shutout.

Loomis-Chaffee 4 @ Trinity-Pawling 3 – Loomis, behind a pair of goals from sophomore Eric Esposito and single goals from Shamus Fenton and Alex Esposito, took a 4-0 lead into the third period, but almost let it get away as Trinity-Pawling scored three times in the third period to make things interesting.

@ Rivers 3, Pingree 0 – Three different scorers found the back of the net for host Rivers, and junior G Peter Ciccarelli stopped all 12 shots he faced.

@ Westminster 5, Northfield-Mt. Hermon 4 – Midway through the second period the visitors from NMH held a 4-1 lead, but Westminster came back with four straight goals. Westminster outshot NMH, 41-20.

@ Groton 5, Deerfield 1 – Deerfield outshot host Groton, 45-30, but junior goaltender Matt Efros (44/45) was up to the task. Junior Matthew Winter notched a hat trick for Groton; senior Ace Cowens had four assists.

St. Mark’s 3 @ Winchendon 3 – Senior Olivier Caron (2g,1a) figured in all three goals as Winchendon took a 3-0 lead. St. Mark’s woke up late in the second and came back with three of their own to pull out a tie on the road. Junior Peter Housakos (1g,1a) and Luke O’Brien (2a) led the way.

@ Exeter 7, Kent 4 – At the Exeter Invitational, Kent held a 3-2 lead after the first period, but Exeter owned the second, scoring four straight goals. Senior Teddy Hart had a pair of goals for Exeter, as did Andy Espinoza (the second being an empty-netter). Junior D Greg Krisberg (1g,2a) figured in three of Kent’s goals. Exeter outshot Kent, 39-24.

Friday's Notes: A Little Controversy

The end of today's Rivers at Thayer game, a 2-1 overtime win by the hosts on Lincoln Griffin's second goal of the game, was marred by controversy.

The winning goal came about because the referee, who was behind the net on the side away from the play, failed to blow his whistle when his view of the puck, being covered up by Rivers goalie Ryan Colena, was blocked. In those situations, if the ref loses sight of the puck, he blows the whistle. This did not happen, so Thayer just kept doing exactly what they should have done, i.e play hard and whack away until the whistle is blown.

Eventually Colena -- puck and all --  was pushed over the goal line and into the net.

Goal.

Game over.

Rivers coach Shawn McEachern, whose bench was situated closest to the play, was livid. Neutral observers up on the overhead viewing deck at the Canton SportsPlex who had an unblocked look straight down at the goal were in agreement that, well, Rivers got screwed.

It was too bad because the game was a good one, with play relatively even both ways. Both goalies, Thayer's Mike Royer (22/23) and Colena (32/34) were excellent and both teams played hard throughout, for which they deserve full credit. It just should not have ended the way it did, on a bad call.

The atmosphere was great up at Kimball Union today, with the Wildcat student section packed and in full voice for the game against St. Paul's. The game lived up to the billing, too, as it was very intense and physical, with a fast pace and plenty of big hits.

The game was tight, too, with KUA holding a 2-1 lead through two. But SPS took a lot of penalties, which finally caught up to them in the third, when Brendan Riley and George Sennott scored to make it a 4-1 KUA final.

Due to a school disciplinary matter, KUA had to play without forward Dominic Franco and defensemen Ben Finkelstein and Dennis Cesana. All three will be back for Saturday's game at Vermont Academy.

With Finkelstein and Cesana out, new junior defenseman Jake Massie had to pick up a lot of the slack, and he was terrific, showing why he's one of the top available college prospects still out there. Elijah Harris, in net for KUA, was also excellent, particularly late in the second when the game was still very much in the balance and St. Paul's was applying steady pressure. Harris finished with 28 saves on 29 shots.

This was an excellent game for two periods. St. Paul's, whose top line of John Laurito-Connor Sodergren-Austin Ricci was strong, was very much in the game but ran out of gas in the third.

"You can't win games on the road when you take ten penalties," St. Paul's coach Mark Bozek said afterward. "I thought our second period was our best effort of the season so far but we took those penalties at the end of the period and that really cost us."

KUA coach Tim Whitehead said, "That looked like a mid-season game. Both teams competed hard and it was a physical and fast-paced game. It was a hard-fought win."

Whitehead said that what we're seeing of defenseman Massie, who has Hockey East interest, "is just the tip of the iceberg." Whitehead, whose sister lives in Montreal, found Massie playing high school hockey in Montreal.


***

We got to see St. Sebastian's and Milton today in Needham, and Seb's came out on top, 6-2. The game was closer than the score indicated, as the two teams were tied at 2-2 early in the third. But Seb's senior Will D'Orsi scored a powerplay goal at 4:23 of the third, and that opened the floodgates. Milton senior goalie Drew Hotte, normally very solid, gave up a couple of goals in the final few minutes that were uncharacteristic, clearing a puck right on to Paul McAuliffe's stick for the fifth goal, and then getting all bollixed up, leading to D'Orsis's second goal of the game, an easy wraparound into a wide open net.

Milton's defense suffered due to injuries and lack of depth. New forward Spencer Fox had to be moved back to the blue line.

St. Sebastian's top line of soph RJ Murphy, senior Will D'Orsi, and senior John Rourke was a force throughout. D'Orsi had two goals and an assist, and Rourke added a pair of assists. Sophomore defenseman Eric Jeremiah had a goal and an assist.

Danny Higgins was solid in net, stopping 20 of 22.

A Quick Note
The 2014-15 New England Prep Preview can be found in USHR's December News. We figured, with the large number of games and tournaments in December, the Prep News file will become very large. It's best to balance things out a bit, so we'll probably be moving other things over there as well.
