NO CLEARCUT TEAM TO BEAT – IN MY HUMBLE OPINION. SHOULD BE A VERY COMPETITIVE SEASON. HAWKS First and foremost, the Hawks are in good hands in the nets with their fiery and excellent goalkeeper!  They are good up the middle, but overall scoring could be an issue.  Goalie will see his share of shots. BRUINS Hmm.  D is a…

HAWKS Forwards are a very good group.  Don’t underestimate the goalie play.  Brian Miller can play! BRUINS I like this team a lot!  Forwards and D are very solid.  Goalkeeping is on the plus plus side! HABS Nice squad!  Forwards are going to put some points on the board and the defense will keep points off the board. WINGS Another…

HAWKS   6    WINGS    5  –  OT The Hawks prevail in overtime, in this simulated Sam Cupp Championship game! Game tied 5-5 with one minute remaining in the overtime period.  Face-off deep in the Hawks end.  Center Zach Wagner wins the face-off cleanly to defenseman Jack Leavy, who rips the puck around the far boards in a premeditated…

SHARKS   3    BRUINS   2  – OT The Sharks prevail in overtime, in this simulated Sam Cupp Championship game! Ronnie Meltnser of the Sharks scores the game winning shorthanded overtime goal, as he blocks a shot at his blueline and races down the ice for the breakaway short side goal!  In the penalty box for cross checking –…

HAWKS – I know with a Zach Wagner on your team – how can you go wrong.  But – to me, this team has the makings of a very subpar season.  There is some immense talent on this squad.  But also some pretty big questions marks. BRUINS – Very strong team!  Goaltending is excellent and this team will score. HABS…

HAWKS – Goaltending is outstanding!  I love the D!  Can’t argue with Billy Hagen leading the offense! BRUINS – The key to this squad is how healthy goaltender Mike Mostyn will be after basically missing all of last season due to a myriad of injuries.  Solid team. HABS – Strong defense on this squad.  Good to see sniper Jeff Tracy…

All, The rink has informed us that it will remain closed until at least March 30th per state requirements. Unfortunately, we will be cancelling the remaining playoff and  championship games for both the A and R leagues. Additionally, there will be no drop-in skates until at least April. If everything goes smoothly, we will be back in business for the…

WEEK FOUR – PLAYOFFS HAWKS   1     BRUINS   1 A very spirited affair, as both teams rack up five penalties apiece.  Both puck stoppers – sub E. Miller of the Bruins and “Smoking” Joe Polizzi of the Hawks were simply outstanding in nets!  Mike “Padre” Nalepa puts the Bruins up 1-0.  Zach Wagner tie’s it up 1-1…

WEEK FOUR – PLAYOFFS HAWKS   1     BRUINS    1 The Hawks tie for the fourth time in these playoffs!  Both goalies – Al Rice of the Hawks and Bobby Rutkoske of the Bruins with excellent games in nets!  Chuck Mouraine puts the Bruins up 1-0 on a shorthanded breakaway goal.  Joe Plati buries the power-play game tying…

WEEK THREE – PLAYOFFS HABS   8    FLYERS   2 Venting their season long frustration – the Habs smoke the Flyers!  Mark Rogers with the tour du chapeau.  Steve Bayagich with the deuce.  Singles for subs Greg Calvin and Jimmy Brown.  Returning from a lengthy Florida vacation – Jeff Curran also with a goal.  Trevor Wrobel and sub Bill…
