Hotchkiss Takes Flood-Marr in 2 OTs
Dedham, Mass. – A goal by senior Adam Kaiser at 7:50 of the second overtime and some stellar goaltending by junior John Yanchek lifted Hotchkiss to a 4-3 win over Salisbury here today.For Yanchek, who was named tournament MVP, it was his second win over Salisbury this season, as he blanked the defending prep – and Flood-Marr – champions on Dec. 6 at Salisbury. Coming into today’s game, Yanchek had allowed only four goals in six games – and just one of those was even-strength.
The Hillsborough, NJ native was on his game early, as he made a couple nice saves on Paul Carey in the first five minutes of play.
But the vaunted Salisbury attack, which woke up with a vengeance here, scoring 14 unanswered goals since trailing Westminster 3-0 in opening day action on Friday, made it 15 in a row -- and then 16 -- before the end of the first period.
First, Brian Gibbons flicked home a clean rebound to make it 1-0 at 6:17. At 10:56, Salisbury extended the lead to 2-0 when Matt Masucci poked a puck home out of a scrum.
When the first period ended, it looked like Salisbury, the faster, more highly-skilled team, was on their way to their third consecutive Flood-Marr title.
But nobody told Hotchkiss.
The Bearcats came out in the second period with claws bared and got on the board at 3:58 when Chris Gudmondson took a shot from the right side which rebounded out to Brendan Deblois on the far side. DeBlois had plenty of net to shoot at and didn’t miss, making it a one-goal lead.
Hotchkiss tied up the game at 2-2 at 10:58 when burly junior defenseman Brandon Hew took it hard to the net and just pushed it through a pile, and over the goal line.
Hotchkiss went up 3-2 at 4:27 of the third when Hew, this time on the power play, picked up his second straight goal, this one off a blast from the left point with Salisbury’s Dan Reed off for hooking.
Yanchek came up big in the middle of the period, making a nice save on Masucci, and then stoning Gibbons from point-blank range.
Salisbury, trailing 3-2 with 1:29 left in regulation, called a time out. When play resumed, Borelli had been pulled for the extra skater.
Salisbury put heavy pressure on Hotchkiss and, with 22 seconds left and some heavy traffic in front of Yanchek, a Hotchkiss player put his hand over the puck in the crease. Salisbury was awarded a penalty shot.
With a chance to pull his team’s bacon out of the fire, senior Michael Biega didn’t disappoint, smoothly moving down the right side and then firing a low hard shot inside the far corner to tie it at 3-3.
In the first OT, Salisbury had opportunities to put it away, but Yanchek was up to the task.
Midway through the extra frame, Hotchkiss, forced to skate with the faster Salisbury squad, began to run out of gas, but hung in there, battling for every square inch of ice.
As the middle of the second overtime approached, and with both teams slowing down, Yanchek made a nice save on Salisbury’s Joe Capuano. Less than a couple minutes after that, a faceoff to Borelli’s left was won cleanly by Hotchkiss sophomore center Zach Martin, who drew it to Kaiser.
Kaiser ripped it top corner and the celebration was on.
Afterward, Hotchkiss coach Damon White said the win was about two things: “Goaltending… and the kids’ believing in their ability to make things happen. They can deal with adversity. They competed hard. Salisbury is the more highly-skilled team, but our kids -- like Irving, Yanchek, Buicko, Colaianni – just kept battling.”
What did White say to his team when they were down 2-0 after the first? “We had made a couple of mistakes in the defensive zone and they had made us pay,” White said. “I told them to be more attuned to these things – and just keep working.”
“The bottom line,” White added, “is that Yanchek has been phenomenal.”
Salisbury coach Dan Donato said, “Two good teams battled here and they got the bounce at the end – I thought (Hotchkiss) did a good job on faceoffs. They played well and battled. Both teams really played hard. We had a ton of chances in OT but their goalie was the difference.”
Donato acknowledged that his team was “a little flat” at times, but, he added, “in the last 5-7 minutes we played with real urgency.”
“I’m excited about the weekend. We found ourselves as a team here and now we know how hard we’ll have to work to be a good team.”
Notes:
-- Goals were hard to come by here. There were 11 shutouts, including a pair of 0-0 games. In another ten games at least one team was held to two or fewer goals.
-- The win gave Hotchkiss their fifth Flood-Marr title, with the other wins coming in 1971, 1974, 1994, and 2003.
-- The last 14 Flood-Marr titles have been won by only four teams, with Deerfield picking up seven titles in that time, Hotchkiss three, Westminster two, and Salisbury two.
-- The title game will be considered a tie for purposes of the official NEPSIHA won-lost record because the winning goal came after the five minute mark in overtime. For an OT win in tournament play to go into the books as a win, the winning goal must be scored within the first five minutes, just as if it were a regular, non-tournament game.

Taft Edges Choate, 4-3; Wins Lawrenceville Tournament
Lawrenceville, N.J. – Taft forward Nick Liotta picked up a rebound in front of a sprawled Choate goalie and banged in the game-winning goal just a little over six minutes into the third period today, giving Taft a 4-3 win and the tournament championship.
The play began innocently, with Taft rushing the puck in on the right side. Andrew Balysky took the initial shot from the right circle, but Choate goalie Rob Wilechansky didn’t seem to see the puck sitting in front of his left pad. Liotta calmly took it, moved a little to his left, and banged it home.
The championship game began in a business-like, cat-and-mouse fashion for the entire first period. Each team was skating well, and each team had some chances, but the emphasis early was on defense, forechecking, and puck control. The score was 0-0 after one period, with each team taking six shots on net.
But things picked up in the second, as Taft scored first just 1:18 in when defenseman Drew MacKenzie patiently worked the puck into the Choate zone. Controlling the puck in low behind the net, MacKenzie fed off to Andrew Balysky. Balysky took a shot that hit off the cross bar, and bounced straight down behind the Choate goalie. Forward Sean Curran pounced on it, giving Taft the 1-0 lead.
Six minutes later, Choate evened it up on a pretty power-play goal. Controlling the puck well with a 5-on-3 advantage, Choate moved the puck quickly and effectively in tick-tack-toe fashion. Choate captain Ryan Corcoran, moving toward the net from the right circle, began the sequence by deking a Taft defender and feeding defenseman Connor Googin who was moving in from the blueline. Googin wasted little time and immediately fed his younger brother, Mark Goggin, who was stationed at the right post of the Taft goal. The younger Goggin flipped the puck past a scrambling Andrew Margolin, who had no chance on the shot, and the score was tied at 1-1.
Three minutes later Taft regained the lead on a booming George Hughes slapshot from the blueline. Nick Liotta and Andrew Balysky assisted.
Now settled down and controlling the puck well, the Rhinos scored again less than two minutes later. Choate appeared to be on their heels a bit after the second Taft score, and they were unable to clear the puck from their own zone for almost two full minutes. Taft captain Bobby Kramer began this score with some solid work along the far boards, stripping the puck away from two Choate players. Kramer spotted Sean Curran in the slot and fed him the puck, and Curran took a shot that Wilechansky could not control. Jeremy Dwyer moved in from the left side and punched in the rebound, giving Taft a 3-1 lead with just under three minutes left in the period.
The second period ended with no further scoring. Choate fired seven shots at Margolin, while Taft had nine shots in the period.
Taft entered the third period with a 3-1 lead, but reminiscent of the playoff final last March, Taft saw their lead evaporate quickly. Choate head coach Pat Dennehy must have gotten his players’ attention with some choice words in between periods, as the Wild Boars came out flying and scored two goals, just 55 seconds apart, in the opening three minutes, and suddenly the game was tied.
On the first of these two Choate goals, Taft was back on their heels and the Choate forwards were relentless in pressuring the Taft defenseman. Skating with their best legs of the afternoon, Choate moved the puck around the Taft zone almost as if they were on a power play. Choate defenseman Connor Goggin, who had the primary assist on all three Choate goals, found an open Anthony Depietto in front of the Taft net and Depietto immediately buried his chance, cutting Taft’s lead to 3-2.
Just 55 seconds later, Choate scored again, this time on a fast and pretty sequence that saw Mark Goggin hit a speeding Greg Manz, and Manz wasted no time rifling his shot past Margolin.
The score was suddenly 3-3, and a sense of deja vu came over Taft head coach Dan Murphy, who promptly called a time out.
Last spring, you will recall, Taft held a similar 3-1 lead going into the third period of the playoff championship game against Salisbury, only to see Salisbury score two quick goals and then the eventual game-winner. During that flurry of goals, Murphy decided not to call time out, relying on a calm coaching staff to settle down his boys. This time he knew better.
“Don’t be afraid to lose”, Taft coach Dan Murphy told his team during the time out. “Go out and play to win.”
Taft did just that.
With rejuvenated skating legs, Taft turned the tide of momentum and began consistent pressure in the Choate zone. Forward Jesse Root dug the puck away from a Choate defender along the boards and kicked it to linemate Andrew Balysky. Balysky calmly moved towards the Choate net and threw the puck at the net. Nick Liotta then banged home the goal that would be the game winner.
Choate had a golden opportunity to tie the score with four minutes left in regulation. Skating with a 5-on-3 advantage, Choate forward Sam Sabky picked up a loose puck in the slot, and snapped a wrist shot just over Taft goalie Andrew Margolin’s right shoulder. Margolin, who was still down from an earlier shot, saw the puck clang off the cross bar and drop harmlessly into the corner.
Notes:
- - This win gives Taft its fifth Lawrenceville Tournament championship in the past eight years, and seventh in the 59-year history of the tournament.
- - In 59 years Lawrenceville has never won this tournament, but arguably played well enough to win it this year. Their fate was sealed, however, when, after leading 4-1 in the semi-final game against Choate the previous night, the Larries gave up four unanswered goals over the final 25 minutes of play. During this stretch their focus seemed to shift from scoring goals to hitting bodies, and it cost them.
- - Choate, who won this tournament in 2004 and was the runner-up last year (losing to Belmont Hill), has taken home a championship six times since its inception in 1949.
- - St. Andrews, one of Canada’s oldest and largest independent all-boys boarding and day schools, replaced Upper Canada College this year as the Canadian invitee. The two schools generally alternate, attending every four or five years. St. Andrews dropped their opener to Choate 8-6, then won their next two games, beating NMH 2-1 and Nichols School 6-0.
- - The referee crew, headed again this year by Bob Ritchie, did an outstanding job throughout the tournament. Ritchie is heading to Sweden in a couple weeks to be on the referee crew for the World Juniors Tournament.

Wed. Dec. 6 Summaries
-- At Watertown, Conn., Berkshire edged host Taft, 2-1.
The first period caught the Rhinos off guard as Berkshire, with two regular season games under their belt, took it to the Rhinos, peppering senior goalie and captain Jackee Snikeris with 13 shots. Snikeris turned them all away, including an early breakaway. Taft slowly got the wheels up to speed and the first period ended 0-0.
In the second, the Rhinos came out hard. With excellent forechecking and some stingy defensive play in front of the net, the Rhinos limited the Bears to only four shots while taking nine of their own. Berkshire, though, scored twice in the period, at 2:55 and again at 10:07. Taft got on the board on an Ashleigh Kowtoniuk goal with 17 seconds left in the period.
The third period was scoreless.
For the game, Berkshire outshot Taft, 25-19.
-- At Wallingford, Conn., the matchup between Div. I power Choate and Div. II power Greenwich Academy went to Choate, 7-6.

For the game, Julia Ireland (1g,3a), Bray Ketchum (2g), and Audie Carter-Tracy (1g,1a) led the GA scorers. Choate hasn’t posted their roster yet so, just going off the scoresheet, we can’t tell you much about them other than the fact that #21 (we’ll assume that’s Hilary Knight) figured in six of Choate’s seven goals with a four goal, two assist day.
Final shots on goal were Choate 24, GA 23.

Tabor Upsets Nobles
Dedham, Mass. – Tabor Academy, coming off a 2-1 OT win at Cushing Saturday night, rode the momentum today, edging host Nobles, 3-2.The winning goal, off the stick of Tabor sophomore forward Caroline English, came with 3:54 remaining in the third. Senior Sarah Ellins got the puck to Constance Jangro, who fired a shot that Nobles senior goalie Kylie Stephens made a left pad save on. But English was there to knock home the rebound to make it 3-2. Tabor held off Nobles the rest of the way and skated off with a big win.
Earlier, Nobles had the edge, getting on the board first when senior defenseman Leanna Coskren, a Harvard recruit, flew down the right side and wristed one past Tabor sophomore goalie Stephanie Ciampa to put her team up, 1-0.
Ciampa, with good support from her defensemen who battled in front, was a major factor in keeping Tabor in the game.
In the second period, Tabor cranked it up a notch, playing with grit and determination, and it paid off just 2:55 in when junior Kelly Foley, from the bottom of the right face off circle, passed it to the top of the crease where Jangro knocked it past Stephens to tie the game at 1-1.
Just nine seconds later, Tabor struck again as senior Marissa Gentile passed it to Foley, who one-timed it past Stephens to put Tabor up, 2-1.
Over the next ten minutes of play, Nobles had some good opportunities to tie it up but couldn’t convert. Tabor, due to a couple of Nobles defensive breadowns, had a chance to extend their lead, but were denied as well.
Nobles finally tied it up at 2-2 with 3:39 left in the period when freshman Denna Laing roofed one from the right face off circle.
Tabor was called for tripping late in the period, and the penalty carried over to the third. Tabor took a couple more penalties early in the third, giving Nobles 30 seconds of 5-on-3 at one point.
All period, Nobles had a number of good chances both on the power play and at even strength, but were held off by Ciampa, who came up big in net. For their part, Tabor, which lacks Nobles’ team speed, kept working, fighting for loose pucks, going hard to the net, and battling for position in front.
And it all paid off when English scored her late goal, and Tabor held off Nobles for the final 3:54 of play. At the buzzer the Tabor players happily piled on their goalie.
Afterward, Tabor coach Kerry Nugent said, “We’re not a flashy team but we work hard. Stephanie (Ciampa) was very good in net. She’s very calm and that translates over to the rest of the team.”
”I thought we started a little slow, but picked it up in the second, moving through the neutral zone better and going hard to the net. In the third, I thought killing off those two penalties early gave us momentum. They played hard all the way through. One thing we work on a lot is getting the puck on net and following up on rebounds.”
Nugent pointed out that the Seawolves, who gained confidence with the OT win at Cushing, can’t rest on their laurels, as they play Lawrence Friday and Berkshire Saturday.
Nobles coach Tom Resor said, “I told the girls we’d be in a lot of one and two-goal games this season. We had some chances to put them away in the first and even in the second -- and then suddenly they had the lead with two quick ones. After that, we recovered nicely even though they outplayed us in the second. In the third we had a ton of good chances. I felt we could have had more pressure in front. Tabor, though, worked extremely hard and on their goals they went hard to the net. Their goalie did a good job covering up and the defense cleared well in front of her. They’re a good team. I think this year there is a lot more depth to a lot of programs. Scoring goals will be hard.”
Nobles outshot Tabor in the game, 28-16.
