Salisbury Wins School’s First Flood-Marr Title
Dedham, Mass. -- Salisbury, in its 19th appearance at the Flood-Marr tournament, finally won it all this year, topping a game Deerfield squad, 2-1 here today.
For Salisbury, a runner-up to Hotchkiss last December, the game-winning goal came at the 4:24 mark of the third period when, on the power play, a wrist shot from the right point by Jerry Pollastrone found the back of the net to give Salisbury a 2-0 lead. Junior center J.J. Cunningham assisted on the goal.
With 2:36 left in regulation, Deerfield senior Mike Collins cut the Salisbury lead to 2-1, beating Salisbury goaltender Jeff Mack with a blast from the slot, defenseman Ben Fields picking up an assist on the play. But that was as close as Deerfield would get.
Earlier, just 3:47 into the game, Brad Baldelli put Salisbury on the board when he took a nice drop pass from Steve Smolinsky and roofed it on Deerfield goalie Rick Redmond. Center Mike Atkinson also picked up an assist on the play.
“This is a great tournament,” Salisbury coach Dan Donato said afterward, “and we were tested. We had success as a team coming in but it was nice to see our team compete and give up so few goals.”
Salisbury gave up six goals in its four games here.
“Jeff Mack,” Donato added, “played another outstanding game in net. Our defensemen-- Biega, Paquet -- were excellent. We kept it simple, got the puck deep, and used our speed.”
“I tip my hat to Deerfield. They worked hard. These were two good teams here today.”
Deerfield coach Brendan Creagh said the tournament was a great one for his team, adding that it was “far better than last year when we played in the 8 a.m. game.”
“A couple of bounces,” he said, “and things could have gone our way. But I think our team worked really hard and created a lot of offensive opportunities for themselves.”
“And both goalies,” Creagh added, “were excellent.”

Note: The all-tournament team is chosen by the coaches, though the coaches only pick players on their own team – from one to three depending on where their team finished. So, while all of the above played very well, it’s not really an all-tournament team in the traditional sense. In many cases it’s more a nod of appreciation by the coaches to one or two of their players for a job well done. In addition, coaches will often leave off a big-timer in favor of highlighting a player, usually a senior, who had a strong tournament, but is not exactly a household name. It’s an antiquated approach to picking an all-tournament team, and often leaves newcomers to the event scratching their heads. And that’s why we mention it, because if you understand the ground rules going in, it's not so perplexing.
