Belmont Hill Jamboree

Belmont, Mass. – We were able to see the morning session at the Belmont Hill Jamboree today, and here’s what we found.

Belmont Hill 2, Winchendon 2 --

Here’s how it went in a nutshell: Belmont Hill sophomore forward Devin Albert scored the only goal of the first period. The second period was scoreless. In the third, Bel Hill went up 2-0 on a wraparound goal by soph Jim Vesey. Winchendon scored both their goals late in the third, both coming off the stick of senior Ross White.

Winchendon will go as far this season as their top line -- White, senior Hugo Turcotte, and senior Phil Arnone – will take them. Their top D pairing consisted of seniors Sean Doherty and Patrick Coulombe. Both Winchendon goaltenders, seniors Simon Brandt and Greg Homer, got time in net, and did a good job.

Belmont Hill is a much more skilled team. But they are also very young, with 10 sophs and four freshmen on their 23-man roster. And the youngsters are impressive. Vesey was very good, appearing very comfortable out there. Albert was good too. Freshman defenseman Matt Grzelcyk played well, albeit a little more cautiously than when playing against opponents his own age. Terry Goguen was another soph d-man who played well. If they hold onto all those kids for a couple of years, Belmont Hill could get on another roll.

Of  the older Belmont Hill players, junior center Brandon McNally stood out – not exactly a surprise. Senior Brendan Fadden was very noticeable, too – he never stopped working. He’s on the small side, but will make a nice NESCAC prospect.

Derek Metcalfe was solid in net.

Governor’s 7, Proctor Academy 3 –

Governor’s, under new head coach Mike Delay, had no problem with Proctor.

Governor’s has two strong lines this season, and today the line centered by senior Brett Riley, with junior Brian Ward and freshman Nathan Ferriero on the wings, was pretty unstoppable, accounting for five of Governor’s seven goals. For the record, Riley and Wared each had a pair, and the youngest Ferriero added a singleton.

Governor’s other scoring line has senior Cody Ferriero centering seniors Josh Adinolfo and Jake Picking. Adinolfo and Picking each picked up a goal.

Proctor had a hard time. Because of a swine flu epidemic a large number of students, including seven hockey players, were sent home a couple weeks ago, so the team didn’t have their first full-squad practice until last night. Their biggest problem today was overall defensive play, and goaltending in particular. Once again, Keith Buehler, now a senior, is the go-to guy. He’s an average skater but has a real head for the game and nose for the net. He didn’t have his best game today, but is dangerous nonetheless. The best player for Proctor today was lanky ’93 sophomore LC Jon Felteau, who made a really nice pass on Proctor’s first goal, off the stick of sophomore Ryan Kangas, and then scored their second goal, off a feed from senior Connor Toomey. Another very noticeable player for Proctor was sophomore Ryan Rumble, who played on a line with Felteau and Kangas.

Buehler scored the Hornets’ third goal, from Connor Toomey and Nik Tasiopoulos.
