In what has been a tough season so far Iroquois most recent 5-2 upset win against Canisius was uplifting. The junior varsity Chiefs played a tough schedule over the last two months with a limited roster but never did they lose confidence. Their continued perseverance against long odds finally paid off Monday afternoon against the Crusaders. After storming out to a 2-0 lead early in the first with goals from defenseman Shane Guasteferro and center Sam Rider the Crusaders fought their way back to tie the game at 2-2. That would be all for Canisius though as goaltender Andrew Zelak stood on his head in the final two periods to anchor the victory. Scoring the final three goals were Spencer Hrynczak, Josh Harris and Luke Pukalo. Also playing strong in a supporting role was defenseman Dylan Giancarlo and forward Zack Murphy.

The Chiefs look to continue their winning ways against Tonawanda/North Tonawanda at 5:45pm on 1/24/16.
