Varsity Hockey v. Loomis Chaffee
The team traveled down to Windsor, CT on Saturday, February 10 to take on the Pelicans of Loomis Chaffee. Eaglebrook had some great looks both even strength and on the power play but were unable to convert. Off of a couple of tough bounces, the Eagles fell behind by a pair of goals after the first period. However, following the ice cut, the Eagles regrouped and turned the corner in a significant way. Jacob Trowt’s energy got things going for the boys, as he quickly gained the offensive zone and beat the goalie to cut the opposition’s lead in half. Ryan Robbins continued to have a strong showing, collecting a pass in the slot and beating the goalie five-hole to tie the game at 2. The momentum continued to favor the Eagles, as Jordan Nelson was a force out their, collecting two tallies, while Hans Forselius buried a gritty goal in front to secure the 5-3 comeback victory. Nils Forselius and Benito Calvanese played a complete game up front, helping with special teams and creating many scoring chances. Giovanni Grassi, as well as the entire defensive unit, played a solid two-way game moving pucks in transition and also exhibiting great composure when handling pucks. AJ Finta continued to improve in between the pipes, moving pucks to our defensemen and improving rebound control as the game wore on. It was a great team effort, as each member all contributed to overcoming the initial challenges to putting together a solid final two periods of play. On Wednesday afternoon, Eaglebrook will faceoff against Deerfield’s JV for the teams second meeting of the season.
