JV B Hockey v. Hillside

Another tough day in the net for Christian Paton who made more than ten saves each period in this 7-2 loss. Although we continue to miss having a skater slide to the front of the net, we did make better passes back to the "points" and played good defense on most occasions. Once again there were just two players who did all the scoring, but we played well and demonstrated a learning curve on most of the fundamentals. Court Mangum scored our first goal, just seconds after Hillsides opener. Sam Chase and Brendan Fox assisted him. Brendan scored our second goal of the game with just a few minutes remaining. Jaylen Evans and Doug Braff were the beginners rotating in, and Jay earned his first-ever trip to the penalty box with a "boarding" double minor!  As far as the team is concerned, he was just trying to get to the puck-twice. We will continue to work on checking skills to reduce time spent watching the game from the wrong bench. We were missing Garner Imhoff, who injured his wrist last Thursday, and we wish him a speedy recovery. The team will mix up with JVA for a full-ice scrimmage on Tuesday. Mr. Mariani and I hope you all have a wonderful vacation.
