Blizzard: 4

Montclair Blues: 1

What a terrific start to the season! After watching the Blizzard Squirt A’s beat the Bridgewater Bears, the Blizzard Squirt B team exploded onto the ice with excitement and enthusiasm for their game against the Montclair Blues!

In the 1st period, we saw some great passing and hard work from Tyler Pratt and Joey Rocco, awesome hustling from Patrick Garvey and Matt Koop and 6 great saves from Garret Stenberg, including some great glove catches! With 6:30 left on the clock, Andrew Lefurge made a wonderful goal with an assist by Kevin Drevitch, bringing the score to 1-1.

During period 2 the excitement rose as Joey Rocco and Matt Koop both made great stops and then a gorgeous shot on goal by Kevin Drevitch brought us to a 2-1 lead with an assist from Ryan Hille! Ben Constantinides played some great defense along with Patrick Garvey, Luke Caddo and Joey Rocco keeping us in the lead even when we had a penalty! Goalie Garret Stenberg continues to show his skills by stopping 8 additional shots on goal!!

In period 3, the boys were not complacent about their 2 to 1 lead and continued the fight for two more goals!! Defenseman Joey Rocco had some terrific puck handling to bring the puck down in the offensive zone and took a great shot on goal! Andrew Lefurge got another shot on goal and then soon, Kevin Drevitch got a 3^rd goal for Blizzard with the help of Joey Rocco! Tyler Pratt played his position well and skated hard helping to keep the puck in the offensive zone. Dean Scolavino took a big hit but got right back into the game while fighting for the puck in the offensive zone. Then, with about 5 minutes left to the game with Blizzard leading by 2, Sam Russell got it in the goal again with an assist by Matt Koop!! Once again, our big and strong defensemen, Ben Constantinides, Luke Caddo, Joey Rocco and Patrick Garvey helped out our stellar goalie, Garret Stenberg to deflect any more goals for the Blues!! What a great game! Terrific job, boys!
