HAMILTON – Colgate women’s ice hockey will host an Autism Awareness Game on Friday, Feb. 1, when RPI visits Starr Rink. Puck drop for this special game is set for 7 p.m.

Over the last couple years the Colgate women’s ice hockey team has supported the Autism awareness project, Autism Speaks. And since 2011, the team with support from Colgate and local communities has raised over $30,000 for Autism Awareness and Research.

“Our team is so excited to be able to once again help Autism Speaks in raising awareness both locally and nationally,” head coach Greg Fargo said.

The Raiders teamed up with this great organization in 2011 to support Kati Williams, a local teenager from Norwich, N.Y. Williams has Asperger’s Syndrome, which is an autism spectrum disorder that is characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction along with restricted and repetitive patterns of behaviors and interests. She has been an avid fan of Colgate Women’s hockey and has worked as the team manager on game days. Colgate credits Williams for being the reason and inspiration as to why they began working with this great organization.

Last year marked the team’s second year working with Autism Speaks. The team dedicated its outing against RPI as the “Autism Awareness” game. The Raiders wore specialty designed game jerseys by Christian Mast, another big Colgate hockey fan. Mast also has Autism and focuses on spreading light to the Autism community by being an author, fundraiser, and Autism advocate. He not only enjoys watching Colgate hockey but participating in the great sport as well.

“Over the past two years, this Colgate Women’s Ice Hockey Autism Awareness Game has grown and truly become an event that people look forward to attending and supporting,” Fargo added. “Having both Kati and Christian so closely associated with our group, our team is eager to make sure that this year’s event is yet another success.”

The team is asking everyone who attends the game on Feb. 1 to wear blue in support of this cause. All fans that do so will receive free admission into the game. Prior to the start of the game there will also be a ceremonial puck drop by a special guest.

Colgate will be wearing special Autism Awareness jerseys, which will be auctioned off until Feb. 7. CLICK HERE to preview the jerseys. Throughout the game, Autism T-shirts will be sold as well as a Chuck-A-Puck contest held during the second intermission. Fans get a chance to throw a puck onto the ice, and whoever gets closest to center ice will win two 2013-14 men’s and women’s season tickets. Costs of the pucks are $3/puck, $5/2 pucks, and $10/5 pucks.

All proceeds from the game will go to Autism Speaks, so please join the Raiders in supporting this great cause.

ABOUT AUTISM
Autism is a complex neurobiological disorder that inhibits a person’s ability to communicate and develop social relationships, and is often accompanied by behavioral challenges. Autism spectrum disorders are diagnosed in one in 110 children in the United States, affecting four times as many boys as girls. The prevalence of autism increased 57 percent from 2002 to 2006. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have called autism a national public health crisis whose cause and cure remain unknown.

ABOUT AUTISM SPEAKS
Autism Speaks is North America’s largest autism science and advocacy organization. Since its inception in 2005, Autism Speaks has made enormous strides, committing over $142.5 million to research through 2014 and developing innovative new resources for families. The organization is dedicated to funding research into the causes, prevention, treatments and a cure for autism; increasing awareness of autism spectrum disorders; and advocating for the needs of individuals with autism and their families. In addition to funding research, Autism Speaks also supports the Autism Treatment Network, Autism Genetic Resource Exchange and several other scientific and clinical programs.

Notable awareness initiatives include the establishment of the annual United Nations-sanctioned World Autism Awareness Day on April 2 and an award-winning “Learn the Signs” campaign with the Ad Council, which has received over $249 million in donated media. Autism Speaks’ family resources include the Autism Video Glossary, a 100-Day Kit for newly diagnosed families, a School Community Tool Kit and a community grant program. Autism Speaks has played a critical role in securing federal legislation to advance the government’s response to autism, and has successfully advocated for insurance reform to cover behavioral treatments. Each year Walk Now for Autism Speaks events are held in more than 80 cities across North America.

The Canisius College hockey team’s game at Mercyhurst, originally scheduled for Friday, Jan. 25 at the Mercyhurst Ice Center, has been rescheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 29. Faceoff remains scheduled for 7:05 p.m.

 

The two teams were scheduled to play a home-and-home series this weekend, but the game at Mercyhurst had to be rescheduled due to a water main break in the City of Erie, which also led to the closure of the Mercyhurst University campus through the weekend.

 

The schools are now set to open the series at Canisius on Saturday night. Game time at the Buffalo State Sports Arena is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.

 

TIM HORTON CLASSIC ON FOR THIS WEEKEND!

32 Teams to Take the Ice for the Tim Hortons Backyard Classic

 

Sharpen your skates, tape your sticks, and bundle up! The Tim Hortons Backyard Classic 3 on 3 outdoor ice hockey tournament will be held from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 27, at The Rose Garden Restaurant, 2753 Wehrle Drive, Williamsville.  The tournament is sold-out, causing the tournament staff to create a special ‘Preview to the Classic’ four-team tournament on Saturday, Jan. 26 from 1-4 p.m for Middle School players.

 

On Sunday, 28 teams will compete in Mite (5-7 year olds), High School and Adult divisions.  The first puck drop will be at 9 a.m. From 12-1 p.m, Buffalo Sabres alumni will serve as guest bartenders and Sabretooth will entertain players and spectators.  Doug Allen will sing the American and Canadian National Anthems at 3:00 p.m to start the playoffs.  Games will be played throughout the day until 6 p.m.

 

The Backyard Classic was founded in 2008 by East Amherst, NY resident Nicholas Penberthy, currently a sophomore at SUNY Cortland (www.cortland.edu), studying childhood education. For the last four years, the tournament was played on Penberthy’s backyard ice rink, which his family set up each winter at their home.

 

In 2011, it was expanded to a second Williamsville, NY location hosted by Chris Taggart, who serves as Co-Chair. Taggart contacted Penberthy, a Williamsville North High School graduate, after viewing a news report about the backyard hockey tournament he founded. Taggart felt compelled to assist in coordinating the event to put his backyard rink to use for such a great cause. Last year, the tournament was forced into a street hockey tournament due to the lack of cold weather, making players and tournament officials eager to get back to the ice.

 

The event was renamed the Tim Hortons Backyard Classic in 2012, thanks to the generous support of Tim Hortons Café & Bake Shop, who continue to be the Platinum Sponsor.

 

This year with the relocation to The Rose Garden, the tournament has been able to register a record 32 teams who will play on four large outdoor ice rinks.  “This recent cold weather has created much excitement in Western New York as we have seen a spike on our social media pages and website in visitors as well as registrations,” said Penberthy.

 

The Tim Hortons Backyard Classic has raised over $20,000 for Hasek’s Heroes, an organization founded by NHL great and former Buffalo Sabre Dominik Hasek, which introduces city youth to ice hockey and life skills.  The proceeds from this event will be used to build an educational resource center.

Big Red Jenner and Slebodnick Honored

ITHACA, N.Y. – After a week that saw the Big Red women’s hockey team earn three victories and outscore its opponents by a combined 17-2, Cornell junior forward Brianne Jenner was named the ECAC Hockey Player of the Week and junior goalie Lauren Slebodnick  earned Goaltender of the Week Honors.

Slebodnick had what might be her best week of the season, turning away 13 shots against Syracuse, 16 against No. 6 Clarkson and making all 20 saves in a shutout against St. Lawrence. Her shutout over the Saints – just her second of the year – combined with a stellar evening against the Golden Knights helped the Big Red jump up the ECAC Hockey standings.

Her biggest moment of the weekend may have come against Clarkson, where she had to face a three-on-zero from the powerful Knights offense. Slebodnick turned away the shot by Vanessa Gagnon, preserving a 2-1 Cornell lead at the time.

This is Slebodnick’s first Goaltender of the Week award this season and the fourth of her career. She won the honor on Jan. 17 and Feb. 14 last season, Jan. 25 of her freshman season and also won Rookie of the Week on Jan. 11, 2011.

Jenner, meanwhile, was terrific on the other end of the ice. Her week began with a five-point performance against Syracuse as she scored three goals and helped on two others. She followed that with two goals and two assists against St. Lawrence, and her week ended with a goal and an assist against the Knights. Jenner had the game-winning goal in all three contests.

Jenner is no stranger to the Player of the Week award, as she won twice last season (Nov. 1, Feb. 14). She was also named ECAC Hockey’s Rookie of the Week three times in the 2010-11 season.

The Big Red returns to action on the road this weekend against Ivy League rivals Yale and Brown.

WEST POINT, NY – The RIT (8-10-4, 6-6-3 Atlantic Hockey Association) men’s hockey team came into the weekend needing a sweep to make a jump in the AHA standings. With a 4-2 win on Saturday night over Army (7-12-3, 7-7-3 AHA) the Tigers completed the sweep, earning four important points in the standings.

“I thought it was a great effort by us all weekend long,” said RIT Head Coach Wayne Wilson. “We played hard and were very smart all weekend long. We’re right in the hunt now. We’ve got to keep working hard and getting better.”

Adam Mitchell (Crofton, MD) and Jeff Smith (Spokane, WA) each scored a pair of goals, and Adam Hartley (West Vancouver, British Columbia) dished out three assists to lead the Tigers. Mike Colavecchia (Maple, Ontario) and Chris Saracino (St. Louis, MO) each had an assist and Josh Watson (Lititz, PA) picked up his seventh win of the season allowing two goals and making 21 saves.

RIT outshot the Black Knights 40-23 and were 1-for-2 with the man advantage, while holding Army to zero goals in two power play chances. Ryan Leets took the loss for Army allowing three goals and making 36 saves.

RIT led 2-0 after the first period on a pair of goals by Adam Mitchell (Crofton, MD). The Tigers fired 12 shots on net to nine for the Black Knights.

Mitchelll gave the Tigers a 1-0 lead at 10:21 on his seventh goal of the season. Chris Saracino (St. Louis, MO) started the play passing to Adam Hartley (West Vancouver, British Columbia) in the RIT zone. Hartley found Mitchell who used a nice toe-drag move to get himself free. He sent a wrist into the top shelf over Army goalie Ryan Leets’ shoulder.

Mitchell made it 2-0 at 14:35 on a nice give-and-go play between he and Mike Colavecchia (Maple, Ontario). Hartely dug the puck out of the corner and got it to Colavecchia. He and Mitchell worked the give-and go and Mitchell placed another wrist shot past Leets for his eighth tally of the season. The goal was Mitchell’s 50th career point in a Tigers sweater.

Josh Watson (Lititz, PA) was excellent in the first period stopping all nine shots he faced. His best coming with 8:23 to play in the period on a partial break by Shane Hearn. He tried to beat Watson with a shot to the glove side, but Watson stuck the glove out and snatched the puck out of the air.

Army scored twice and the Tigers scored once in the second period. Josh Richards scored at 1:22 of the period off an assist from Cheyne Rocha. He took advantage of a RIT turnover deep in their own zone and beat Watson with a backhanded shot to make it 2-1 RIT.

Jeff Smith (Spokane, WA) tallied his ninth goal of the season and third of the weekend at 5:17 of the second to give the Tigers a 3-2 lead. He took a feed from Hartley and jammed home a one-timer from the slot to give the Tigers a two-goal edge.

Joe Kozlak tallied at 9:44 to cut the RIT lead back to a goal on his fifth goal of the season. Willie Faust had the assist on the play.

Plenty of action at both ends of the ice for both teams in the third period. Watson and the Tigers were under fire in the third period as Army fired 10 shots on net. But RIT and Watson held tough turning away all 10 shots.  He made two of his 10 saves with 7:42 to play and RIT on the penalty kill. Army fired a shot that Watson turned aside and had to react and make another off the rebound keeping the Tigers up on the scoreboard.

Leets was excellent for the Black Knights making 12 of his 36 saves in the third period. One chance coming late in the period for Andrew Miller (West Dundee, IL/Jacobs) who found himself alone in front of the Army net. The puck wouldn’t calm down and Leets was able to make the save to keep it a one-goal game at the time.

With the Army net empty and RIT on the power play, Smith capped off the weekend with his fourth goal of the weekend and second of the evening at 19:35.

RIT returns to action on Friday, Jan. 25 when the Tigers host AHA rival #15 Niagara at 7:05 pm. These two teams met back on December 12, skating to a 2-2 tie in Niagara Falls, New York.
