Squirt B1's Win Western Freeze Out

by posted 02/05/2010

Champs

After losing a close game 1 to 0 on Friday night, the Needham Squirt B1’s stormed back to win 4 straight games over the weekend to win the Western Freeze Out at UMASS. Julian Ziskin scored 36 seconds into overtime to beat Groton Sq B 2 to 1 in the Championship Game. Ziskin and linemates Ryan Belval and Patrick Canavan combined to lead the tournament in scoring producing 12 of Needham’s 24 goals. Ryan Belval also found time to win the shootout challenge during the skills competition in between tournament games.

Great passing and balanced scoring helped Needham advance to the Championship Game. The line of Daniel McElroy, Sam Keenan, and Hudson Roddy scored several critical goals during the tournament including Sam’s winning goal in the semi-finals against Woonsocket, RI. Balancing out the scoring was the line Dylan Tamkin, Kenneth Ruetenik, and Ryan Cohen who combined to score 7 goals over the weekend including the critical tying goal in the championship game to force overtime.

The team only allowed 5 goals in the entire tournament. Anchored in net by Championship Game MVP Ben Higgins, the defense of Philip Pascucci, Timmy Noone, PK Noonan, David Rogers, Stewart Hickey, and Kelvin Donoghue took over the tournament allowing only 1 goal in the final 3 games including the championship game overtime.

The entire team demonstrated great effort, sportsmanship, and hockey skill, and represented NYH against teams from NY, CT, RI, and Ma.

Great Job Squirt B1’s…
