“I thought it was very encouraging,” said Katey Stone (Arlington, Mass.), head coach of Team USA. “A lot of really good things happened today and a lot of people participated in getting on the scoresheet. We did a lot of things better today than we did the first two days (that) we played. Our game’s building in the right direction and that’s promising.”

Hilary Knight (Sun Valley, Idaho) scored a natural hat trick in the first period and added a fourth goal in the second period. Brianna Decker (Dousman, Wis.) also had four goals in the game. Amanda Kessel (Madison, Wis.) was the third U.S. player to reach four points (1-3=4) when she contributed a goal early in the third period.

Lyndsey Fry (Chandler, Ariz.) scored her first international goal, a tally that would eventually hold up as the game-winner, at 7:12 of the first period and tacked on two assists for three points in the contest. In total, 16 different players recorded at least one point and 11 players had multiple-point efforts in the offensive flurry.

The U.S. will play Canada in the championship game tomorrow (Saturday) at 5 p.m. (10 a.m. EST).  The two teams met earlier in round-robin play, a game in which Team USA dropped a 3-1 decision to the Canadians.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (November 9, 2012) — The Buffalo Sabres Foundation and Buffalo Sabres Alumni Association today hosted an event that will provide more than 40,000 meals – 5,000 of which will be sent to the hardest-hit areas of New York City and New Jersey in the wake of Hurricane Sandy – to under-fed kids and families throughout the community. The event, held in partnership with Lutheran Charities of Western New York, took place on the arena floor of First Niagara Center.

“Buffalo has a reputation as a city where neighbors look after neighbors and we all strive to make our community the best it possibly can be,” said Buffalo Sabres President Ted Black. “As an organization, the Sabres recognized this very pressing need for assistance to under-fed families throughout this area and, after last week’s storm, the many people downstate who need a little help. Friday’s event will go a long way in helping out these people and showing that their neighbors are here to support them.”

More than 150 volunteers including several Sabres alumni worked to pack the meals that were loaded on trucks and sent out for delivery. 5,000 of the meals will be immediately driven to the New York City/New Jersey area to help stock food pantries and mobile kitchens that are providing relief to those affected by last week’s devastating storm.

“We have 38,000 kids in WNY who aren’t sure where their next nutritious meal is coming from,” said Steve Biegner, executive director of Lutheran Charities. “And now, due to Hurricane Sandy, our brothers and sisters on the New York and New Jersey shorelines face that same problem. We’re so thankful that the Sabres organizations have stepped into this gap with Lutheran Charities to fill the need.”

The meals that are being packaged are part of an initiative to package 100,000 nutritious meals in WNY in the 2012-13 school year.

Matthew Martin, director of Outreach Inc’s Kid’s Meal Packaging Program, is responsible for bringing all the materials and food supplies to the sites throughout the community. He will complete packaging his group’s one millionth meal to feed hungry kids during Friday’s event.

Manhattanville Coach Gets First Collegiate Victory

STAMFORD, Conn. – Four different Valiant players found the net for the second straight game as the Valiants got accustomed to their temporary home and also gave head coach Arlen Marshall ’10 his first collegiate victory in the process with a 4-1 triumph over Nazareth in an ECAC West Conference matchup on Friday night at the Terry Conners Rink.
 
Seniors Brendan Turner (Tisdale, Sask./Lloydminster Bobcats (AJHL)) and Brett Skalski (Exton, Pa./Des Moines Buccaneers (USHL)), junior Luc Van Natter (Fort Erie, Ont./Aurora Tigers (OPJHL)) and sophomore Paul Sirignano (St. Catharines, Ont./Thorold Blackhawks (OJHL)) all scored for Manhattanville in the win, while fellow senior Jason Bowles (Elkhorn, Man./Waywayseecappo Wolverines (MJHL)) led all players with two points via the assist.
 
The game was delayed more than an hour due to Nazareth travel difficulties, and that showed somewhat in the opening frame. Neither team had many great offensive opportunities and 10 penalties slowed down the pace of the contest, and the teams went into the first intermission scoreless despite Manhattanville’s 10-4 edge in shots.
 
The momentum turned toward the home team midway through the second period, when Manhattanville killed off a two-man advantage and promptly scored right afterwards to open the scoring. The Valiants killed off 1:12 of five-on-three hockey and the subsequent five-on-four disadvantage, and just as the penalty had expired junior Marc Zanoni (Lethbridge, Alta./Calgary Canucks (AJHL)) sent a pass forward to Van Natter, who had just jumped onto the ice. The junior forward went one-on-one with Nazareth’s Ed Zdolshek and beat him for his first goal of the year at 9:56.
 
Less than three minutes later the Valiants struck on the power play, as Sirignano cleaned up a loose puck in front for his second goal in three games. Bowles and sophomore JP Witkop (Fairport, N.Y./Merritt Centennials (BCHL)) picked up the assists on the goal, which came at the 12:44 mark of the middle frame.
 
The Golden Flyers did not go away, however, finally beating sophomore netminder Brian Fleming (Saint John, N.B./Northern Cyclones (AJHL)) with 6:59 to go in regulation thanks to a nice tip-in by Alex Silvia off a shot from the blue line by Scott Dawson.
 
But with the visitors pressing for the equalizer, Manhattanville scored twice in the final 106 seconds to put the game away. Turner netted his first of the year on another breakaway, as he took a pass from junior Adam Young (Edmonton, Alta./Grande Prairie Storm (AJHL)) and went in all alone on Zdolshek for the score. Then with 57 seconds remaining and the Nazareth net empty, Skalski corralled a long outlet pass from Bowles and deposited it into the cage for his second of the year.
 
Manhattanville finished the game with a 34-22 edge in shots, as well as a dominating 46-25 advantage at the faceoff dot. Fleming made 21 saves to earn his first collegiate victory between the pipes for Manhattanville, while Zdolshek turned aside 30 saves in a losing effort for Nazareth.
 
Manhattanville (1-1-1, 1-1-1 ECAC West) and Nazareth (2-4-0, 0-2-0 ECAC West) will complete their two-game weekend series tomorrow night at 7 p.m. at Terry Conners Rink. There is expected to be a live GoValiants.TV broadcast of the game available beginning at 6:45 p.m.

couldn’t regain the lead before the break.

The Blue Devils jumped out in front just 1:58 into the final period as
freshman forward Taylor Bourne (Calgary, Alberta/Olds) jammed a rebound
past Keiser. Junior forward Alex Perkins (St. Albert, Alberta/St. Albert)
and sophomore defenseman Cory Melkert (Ottawa, Ontario/Trenton) recorded
the assists. At the 13:22 mark, senior forward Will McLaughlin (Mountain
Top, Pa./Trenton) scored off a deflection with helpers from senior forward
Chris Jung (Sandy, Utah/Battleford) and Castriota. The Bears pulled Keiser
with 1:15 left on the power play, but couldn’t get any closer.

MORRISVILLE, N.Y. – The power-play unit for the No. 1-ranked Oswego State men’s ice hockey team (5-0-0, 4-0-0 SUNYAC) recorded four goals to push the Lakers past Morrisville (0-6-0, 0-5-0 SUNYAC), 5-1, Friday night. The visitors ended the game 4-for-8 with the extra attacker, while the Mustangs went 0-for-4.
 
It wasn’t just a banner night for the power-play unit, as senior forward Luke Moodie (Oakville, Ontario) etched his name in the Oswego State record books by becoming the 49th player to join the 100-Point Club with a goal late in the second period. Moodie has posted 46 goals and 54 assists in 87 games. He joins linemate Jon Whitelaw (Sr., Huntsville, Ontario), who reached 100 career points last season.
 
Matt Singleton (Sr., Whitby, Ontario) opened the scoring for the Lakers at 5:44 in the first period when he posted his second goal of the year. Chris Brown (Sr., Centreville, Ontario) and Zach Josepher (Sr., Wantagh, N.Y.) assisted the marked that came over a minute into a Morrisville hooking penalty. The lead lasted less than five minutes as the Mustangs’ James Jarvis knotted the score at 1-1 after being on the receiving end of a Ryan Marcuz pass, which was where the score remained at the end of one.
 
In the second period, Oswego State broke the game open with three goals, including two on the power play. Chris Ayotte (Sr., Cornwall, Ontario) triggered the run with his third goal of the season on a Jesse McConney (Sr., Barrie, Ontario) assist at the 4:01 mark. Josepher made it a three-goal contest almost midway through the frame when he scored four seconds into a Morrisville elbowing penalty. Assists went to Bobby Gertsakis (So., Pickering, Ontario) and Chris Muise (Sr., Oakville, Ontario) on the play. The last power-play goal came with two seconds remaining on a Mustang cross-checking penalty at 15:13. Paul Rodrigues (Sr., Etobicoke, Ontario) and Brown found Moodie open for the landmark goal, which made the score 4-1 and prompted Morrisville to replace starting goalie Christopher Azzano with Jakob Rasmussen. Azzano finished the game with 22 saves.
 
Brown added a goal of his own in the third at 11:46, while on the power play again as Gertsakis tacked on his second assist of the night.
 
Andrew Hare (Sr., Burlington, Ontario) registered 27 saves, including 12 in the second period, while Rasmussen finished with 20 in the relief effort.

NU Shuts Down Army With 5-0 Win Over Army

 

WEST POINT, N.Y. – Five different players scored for the Niagara men’s hockey team as the Purple Eagles extended their unbeaten streak to six games with a convincing 5-0 victory over the Army Black Knights on Friday evening at Tate Rink.

With the win, the Purple Eagles (5-2-3; 4-0-0 AHA) have shut out their opponents for three-straight contests, netting 13 goals in that span. During its six-game unbeaten streak, NU has outscored its opponents by a 22-7 margin.

Isaac Kohls picked up a career-high three points with a goal and two assists to hand the Black Knights (2-4-1; 2-1- AHA) their first loss in conference play this season, while Matt Williams, Chris Lochner, Ryan Rashid and Marc Zanette each added to the scoresheet.

Niagara goaltender Carsen Chubak remains solid between the pipes, pushing aside 27 Army shots for his fifth win of the season and fourth shutout of the season.  The junior has not allowed a goal in 199 minutes of play.

“Army was coming off a week off and they were flat in the first.  We did a great job in capitalizing and pounced on them early,” head coach Dave Burkholder said.  “They definitely got better as the game wore on and the last 40 minutes was an even game.  It’s a great road win and we made the best of our chances.  We need to get ready for a battle tomorrow night.”

The Purple Eagles continued their recent scoring touch in the opening stanza against the Black Knights, totaling four goals in the first 20 minutes of play, and outshooting its AHA opponent by a 17-7 margin.

The Purple Eagles came out firing in the opening minutes of play, grabbing the 1-0 lead with 18:33 on the clock on the second shot on goal.  Kohls got the offense started for the Purps with the first shot on goal that went wide of starting Army goaltender Ryan Leets, but he made sure his second attempt found the back of the net.  The sophomore received a pass from Giancarlo Iuorio before sniping a wrister from the top of the slot for his second tally of the season.

Army responded with pressure on Chubak, peppering him with a handful of shots, but Niagara took advantage of its opportunities, grabbing a two-goal cushion with 11:41 on the clock.  Williams skated into the offensive zone alongside Jeff Hannan.  The duo combined for a tic-tac-toe play that ended with Hannan sliding the puck to Williams for the easy tap in.

A little more than a minute later Lochner extended NU’s lead with his fourth goal of the season.  Patrick Divjak slipped a pass from behind the bet to the waiting Lochner who fired an unbalanced shot past Leets glove-side.

The Purple Eagles wrapped up the opening period with a score from Rashid at the 2:26 mark off an assist from Kohls.

The final goal of the contest came at the 12:07 mark of the second period as the Purps capitalized on a mistake by Leets to bring the score count to five.  The Army keeper attempted to clear a dump in, but the puck hit the pressuring Zanette who slipped in a bad angled shot under the pads of Leets for his second goal of the season.

The game ended with NU outshooting Army, 35-27.

Four minutes later, the net was crowded with players from both sides as the Bears tried to prevent the Lakers from scoring again. Paul was able to push the puck past the goalie with an assist going to Melissa Seamont (Jr., North Bay, Ontario).

The last Laker goal was scored on a shot inches inside the blue line by Chelsea Hunt (Jr., Brockport, N.Y.) after Seamont and Jarvis fed the point on another power play.

Oswego State ended the game 2-for-6 with an extra attacker, while Potsdam went 0-for-5 on its power-play chances.
