RIT is 13-1-2 against Colgate, with the last meeting between the two teams coming in the 2000-01 season.

Syracuse (5-5-0, 2-0-0 CHA) earned a split last weekend on the road at Union, winning by a score of 2-1 on Friday, then lost 4-2 on Saturday. Allie LaCombe scored the game-winning goal in the third period and Katie Billadeau made 27 saves on Friday. On Saturday, Holly Carrie-Mattimoe and Nicole Ferrara scored for the Orange.

Hurricane Sandy wrecks Playland and other area rinks

Ice Casino remains closed until further notice. At this point I have no means of giving you any time frame for how long we will be closed.

The Tri State area has been hit hard.  People have lost their lives, houses, cars and jobs.  In spite of that our community continues to push forward and try to live normal lives. 

Playland was destroyed by the Hurricane. It will be months before it is open.  We are asking local rinks and hockey people to help us out.  We are looking for some practice and or game ice for our teams.
We have 26 mites broken up in mite major and minor.
We have 26 squirts broken up into HVHL B and B1
We Have 30 peewees broken up into HVHL NTB A and LIAHL tier II.
If anyone has a spare hour or two after school we could use as practice ice or a slot starting no later than 9pm we could really use it. If you have game slots for our league games also that would be great.
Even if you could invite our teams to a joint practice weekly or once a month that would be welcome.
We are basically a homeless hockey club. Any help would be appreciated.

HAVERHILL, Mass. – Senior forward Giancarlo Iuorio earned AHA Player of the Week honors, while junior goaltender Carsen Chubak was named Goalie of the Week after helping the Niagara men’s hockey team to a weekend sweep over UConn.

Iuorio registered a six-point weekend, helping extend NU’s unbeaten streak to five games with five scores and an assist.

In the 3-0 victory over the Huskies on Friday, Nov. 2, Iuorio tallied a goal in the opening minute of play and added another two quick goals in the second stanza to give the Purple Eagles for the senior’s first hat-trick of his career.   The following day, the team captain continued his scoring streak with two tallies to rack up his total to a team-leading 10 goals on the season.  Iuorio also assisted on the first NU goal of the contest.

The Richmond Hill, Ont. native finished the weekend with 10 looks on net and now has 11 points on the season (8-3-11).  He is ranked seventh in the nation in goals per game (0.89)

Chubak was solid between the pipes for the Purps, making 60 stops en route to his second straight Goalie of the Week accolade, and third of the season.

The junior registered his second and third shutouts of the season, and of his career after pushing aside 34 shots in the 3-0 win on Friday, Nov. 2, and added another 26 stops in the 5-0 victory the following day.

Chubak is now 4-1-3 on the season, making 254 saves.  As of today, the Prince Albert, Sask. native holds the top spot in the nation in save percentage (.962) and shutouts (3).  His 1.23 goals-against average ranks him second in the nation, while his winning percentage (.688) places him 18th nationally.

The Purple Eagles hit the ice this weekend against the Army Black Knights in conference play.  The first contest is on Friday, Nov. 9, and the series wraps up the following day.  Both games are scheduled to begin at 7:05 p.m. at Tate Rink.

Islanders open Coliseum ice to give fans chance to skate, collect donations

UNIONDALE, NY (November 6, 2012) – The New York Islanders are holding a special event to help raise funds for area residents affected by Hurricane Sandy. On Veterans Day, Monday, Nov. 12, from 2 – 8 p.m., the team will host a free, open skate at Nassau Coliseum for the general public. Throughout the event, the team will collect monetary donations, warm clothing and other non-perishable items.

“Hurricane Sandy devastated our local community and we want to do everything we can to help,” Islanders General Manager Garth Snow said. “This event will offer families in our community the chance to take a break from their recovery efforts and enjoy themselves.”

Donations are not mandatory to attend, but highly encouraged. Public skating sessions will run every hour throughout the six-hour event on the Coliseum ice and will feature Islanders Ice Girls and team mascot Sparky, the Dragon. Fans participating in any of the sessions must bring their own skates, but spectators are also welcome to enjoy the festivities. Interactive games will also be set up around the rink for younger fans to play throughout the day. Food and drinks will be available to purchase, with proceeds helping local victims.

Join employees from the New York Islanders, arena management company SMG and Coliseum concessionaire SAVOR in contributing to this worthy cause. Proceeds generated from personal donations and concessions, as well as any clothing donated, will go directly to the American Red Cross’ Hurricane Sandy Relief efforts. Island Harvest will collect all non-perishable food and beverage items to distribute to Long Islanders affected by Hurricane Sandy. Items most needed include water, diapers, blankets, baby formula and canned food.

Attendees can enter at the Hempstead Turnpike Main Entrance and gain access to the building through the Coliseum Box Office. Parking is free for this event.

Canisius, Clarkson Play to Draw

For the second-straight afternoon, the Canisius College hockey team played to a draw against Clarkson, with the teams skating to a 2-2 tie at the Buffalo State Sports Arena on Sunday. The Griffs are now 1-4-3 on the season, while the Golden Knights are 0-4-3.

 

“There were a lot of positives to take from this weekend and we had some players really step up their game,” said Canisius head coach Dave Smith. “The power play was the catalyst for our offensive confidence. We had chances to win both games and we will now look to build on that going into conference play.”

 

Sophomores Doug Beck (Plymouth, Mich.) and Tyler Wiseman (Burlington, Ontario) each netted goals for the Griffs with junior Tony Capobianco (Mississauga, Ontario) recording 29 saves in net.

 

The teams traded power-play tallies to start the scoring on the afternoon. Wiseman netted his second extra-man goal in as many games to give Canisius the early advantage with 3:34 remaining in the first. Sophomore defender Doug Jessey (Langdon, Alberta) had a pair of shots blocked and senior captainPreston Shupe (Weyburn, Saskatchewan) knocked the second rebound to Wiseman, who finished from close range for the 1-0 lead.

 

The Golden Knights answered back 4:50 into the second frame with a power-play tally of their own. After a series of quick passes, Jarrett Burton fired a shot in to knot the contest at one.

 

Burton added his second tally shortly later to give Clarkson its first lead of the weekend, 2-1. Will Frederick caused a Canisius turnover in its zone and from behind the net, found Burton open in front. Burton then finished his chance for his fourth goal of the season.

 

Canisius responded with a goal less than three minutes later to square the game at two. The Golden Knights attempted to clear the puck from their zone but junior defender Ben Danford (Stillwater, Minn.) was there to keep it in. He then sent a pass wide of the net and Beck scored on the open net for his first tally of the season with 8:55 remaining in the second frame.

 

Both teams had opportunities to win the game in the third period and overtime with Canisius having a majority of the chances – outshooting Clarkson, 17-9, in the final 25 minutes. The best chance for either team was during a Canisius power play. Freshman Mitch McCrank (Haileybury, Ontario) fired a shot on net and after a save, the rebound went right to junior Patrick Sullivan (Derby, N.Y.). However, Sullivan’s shot rang off the post to preserve the 2-2 draw.

 

Canisius finished the game with a 37-31 advantage in shots on the afternoon with both teams converting 1-of-2 power-play chances. Greg Lewis recorded 35 saves for the Golden Knights in the draw.

 

The Griffs now turn their focus to Atlantic Hockey play, squaring off with conference rival Robert Morris on Friday. Game time at the Buffalo State Sports Arena is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.

 

Game Notes: All four meetings between the two schools have gone into overtime (1-0-3 in Canisius’ favor) … The Griffs have three draws in their three home games this season … Canisius last scored power-play goals in back-to-back games on Nov. 20 and Nov. 26, 2011 … The last Griff to score power-play goals in consecutive contests was Shupe on Jan. 24 and Jan. 28, 2011 … Canisius is now 2-9-4 all-time against ECAC schools.

MASSENA, N.Y.—The fourth-ranked Plattsburgh State Cardinals (2-0, 2-0
SUNYAC) scored four second period goals to erase a 2-0 deficit and hand
the SUNY Potsdam men’s hockey team (2-1, 1-1) a 6-4 defeat at Massena
Arena on Saturday night. Ten different players scored in the contest.

The Bears started with two quick goals. Just over a minute into the game
freshman forward Billy Pascalli (Deer Park, N.Y./New York Bobcats) tucked
the rebound off a shot from sophomore defenseman Erick Ware (Huntsville,
Ala./Kenai River Brown Bears) under Cardinals senior goalie Josh Leis
(Kitchener, Ontario/Listowel Cyclones) for a 1-0 advantage. Junior
assistant captain Mike Arnold (Didsbury, Alberta/Kingston Voyageurs)
recorded the second assist on the play. At the 9:49 mark, sophomore
forward Ken Simon (Norwell, Mass./Philadelphia Revolution) beat an out of
position Leis after the puck was deflected in front and the Bears led 2-0.
Junior defenseman Kevin Carpenter (Dever, Colo./Notre Dame Hounds) and
freshman forward Mike Riley (Brantford, Ontario/Brantford Golden Eagles)
assisted on the goal. Potsdam freshman goaltender Austin Keiser (Dunwoody,
Ga./Boston Bulldogs) stopped all nine shots he faced in the first period.

Plattsburgh responded with a vengeance in the second period. Six minutes
in, sophomore forward Alex Brenton (Kanata, Ontario/Kemptville 73’s)
tipped a shot from the point past Keiser to cut the gap to 2-1. At 11:35,
sophomore forward Mark Constantine (Haddonfield, N.J./The Hill School)
scored a power-play goal to knot the score at 2-2. Junior forward Nick
Jensen (Helsingborg/Bismarck Bobcats) scored another man-advantage tally
to give the Cardinals the lead for good at 17:07. With just over a minute
on the clock, senior forward Jared Docking (Toronto, Ontario/Toronto Jr.
Canadiens) had his own pass deflect back to him in front of the goal and
found the back of the net for a short-handed tally and a 4-2 lead.

Three minutes into the final stanza, Arnold forced a Plattsburgh turnover
at the blue line and took it home for a Bears short-handed goal. At the
12:51 mark, the Cardinals regained their two-goal lead on a goal from
freshman forward Connor Gorman (Shrewsbury, Mass./New Hampshire Monarchs)
. Potsdam responded with a power-play marker at 18:09 as sophomore forward
Trevor Cope (Swartz Creek, Mich./Atlanta, Jr. Knights) wrapped the puck
around Leis to make it 5-4. Pascalli and senior captain Brett Waters
(Uxbridge, Ontario/Markham Waxers) notched the assists. With 1:13 on the
clock, Bears Head Coach Chris Bernard pulled Keiser for the attacker.
However, Cardinals sophomore forward Alex Jensen (Helsingborg,
Sweden/Fairbanks Ice Dogs) sealed the win with an empty netter with 45
seconds on the clock.

Leis finished with 20 saves to earn the victory, while Keiser stopped 28
shots. Plattsburgh outshot Potsdam 34-24. The Cardinals were 2-7 on the
power play and the Bears were 1-6.

Potsdam finishes its five-game home stand as Fredonia and Buffalo State
invade Massena Arena next weekend. The Bears host the Blue Devils on
Friday and the Bengals on Saturday. Both games are scheduled for 7 p.m.

GENESEO, N.Y. – A balanced offensive attack throughout the lineup propelled the second-ranked Oswego State men’s ice hockey team (4-0-0, 3-0-0 SUNYAC) past Geneseo (3-2-1, 2-1-1 SUNYAC), 10-1, on Saturday. Ten different skaters across all four lines scored, while Andrew Hare (Sr., Burlington, Ont.) saw his shutout streak end at 138:29 for an all-around performance by the visiting Lakers.

The victory also marks the 800th program win for Oswego State, which is now 800-435-51 over the course of 47 seasons as an NCAA program.

David Titanic (Jr., Markham, Ont.) opened the scoring 4:04 into the first period with assists going to Chris Brown(Sr., Centreville, Ont.) and Matt Singleton (Sr., Whitby, Ont.). Tim Carr (Sr., Burlington, Ont.) tallied his second goal of the season three minutes later after receiving a series of passes from Titanic and Paul Rodrigues (Sr., Etobicoke, Ont.).

Shortly after the Lakers took a 2-0 lead, they capitalized on a Geneseo unsportsmanlike conduct penalty when Jon Whitelaw (Sr., Huntsville, Ont.) buried the puck into the back of the net. Chris Ayotte (Sr., Cornwall, Ont.) andJesse McConney (Sr., Barrie, Ont.) earned assists on the play. However, Oswego State was not finished in the frame, though, as Zach Josepher (Sr., Wantagh, N.Y.) notched his third goal of the year at the 15:53 mark withChris Muise (Sr., Oakville, Ont.) and Bobby Gertsakis (So., Pickering, Ont.) picking up the helpers.

Geneseo got on the board courtesy of a Brandon Angotti goal with five seconds remaining on a Laker tripping call late in the first period to make the score 4-1 at the end of one.

Oswego State quickly squashed any thoughts of a comeback when Rodrigues scored 36 seconds into the second period. McConney and Luke Moodie (Sr., Oakville, Ont.) were credited with assists on the play. By the end of the stanza, Tyler Leimbrock (Sr., Bolton, Ont.) and RJay Berra (So., Prince George, B.C.), who scored his first collegiate goal, added their names to the scoring column to make the scoreboard read 7-1 heading into the third period.

The offense kept rolling in the final frame, as Chris Carr (So., Burlington, N.Y.), Brown, and Ayotte joined the scoring act to account for the final 10-1 score.

Special teams played a key role for both squads, as Lakers went 3-for-6 on the power play compared to Geneseo, which went 1-for-3.

Oswego State goalie Andrew Hare improved to 3-0-0 on the season after making 26 saves, while Adrian Rubeniuk, Bryan Haude, and Nick Horrigan stopped 32 combined shots with Rubeniuk suffering the loss.

The Lakers remain on the road as they play their only game next weekend on Friday at Morrisville with a 7 p.m. puck drop.
