Varsity Hockey at Vermont Jr Glades

The Eagles traveled North up to Montpelier to take on the Vermont Jr. Glades for a two-game weekend. Making a few stops along the way, at Visitor Centers and Mister Z’s pizza, the Eagles finally landed at the Central Vermont Memorial Civic Center. Friday night’s game got off to a quick start as the Glades came out flying, showing a strong presence in the Eagle’s zone. However, Connor Cherry and the defensive core provided solid play and kept their composure, while shutting down the opposing chances early on. Reid Clemmenson sparked the Eagles offensive attack, as he barreled up the right side of the ice and ripped a shot off the goalies pad. Chance Gorman’s ability to be in the right spot at the right time allowed him to bury home the kicked-out rebound. From there the Eagles never looked back. With efforts from top to bottom, Eagles continued to roll out players and provide consistent pressure in the Glades zone. The Eagles scored two more goals in each of the remaining periods. Gordon Cummings and Jacob Presnal added a goal apiece off of strong rushes and Gorman capped off his hat trick with a short-handed goal as well. Jack Pagano and Sam Born both had strong performances, creating scoring chances of off turnovers. Jack Sohmer and Andrew Parsons also showed great toughness as they blocked multiple shots late in the game. It was a great team win, as all 18 players contributed and Connor Cherry spearheaded the shutout effort to kick the weekend off to a great start.
