Varsity B Hockey Trip to Quebec

The Varsity B Hockey team played three games in two days in Quebec this past weekend.  The weekend began bright and early on Friday morning, hitting to road for Canada at 8:30.  After an uneventful border crossing the boys played their first game against Stanstead College and drew a 2-2 tie.  Alex Hope played a terrific game in net, making huge saves down the stretch to maintain the tie.  EBS saw goals from Cody Walsh and Jackson Mandli.  The team then headed to Sherbrooke to play the traditional games against Bishops College School.  The boys played solid hockey but couldn’t penetrate the Bishops defense and goaltender despite carrying the play and keeping the puck in the Bishops end.  Remy Levine played well in net but despite the effort and intensity, the team dropped a 3-2 decision.  The boys then met their Bishops roommates and spent the night in the dorms.  The following morning, EBS dropped a 7-2 decision, despite again playing up-tempo and tough-nosed hockey.  Pat Lynch scored a terrific goal on an individual effort and Scott Shay scored his first goal of the season in the contest.  EBS then headed to Victoriaville, to watch a Quebec Major Junior game between Victoriaville and Rimouski.  The game was a terrific contest and ended 5-4 to the home team.  During the game, the boys were fortunate enough to visit the Victoriaville dressing room and training area, and after the game, they met Ryan Jasinsky the only American on the roster.  The boys asked questions and had a photo opportunity.  EBS then headed to Montreal and had some free time before turning in for the night.  The wonderful tradition that Eaglebrook with Bishops is always fun and brings out what is best in both schools.  The boys enjoyed themselves and it was a great time for all who participated.
