Salisbury Blanks Kent in the Big House
Ann Arbor, Mich. -- Salisbury blanked Kent 3-0 in an exhibition game this morning at 110,000 seat Michigan Stadium.
“It was an unbelievable experience,” said Salisbury coach Andrew Will. “It was amazing. The kids had a blast.”
As for the game, Will said, “It was a little slower than the game earlier in the week (an 8-4 Kent win on Monday). Both teams came out and played hard, but it took the kids a while to settle down and get in the flow. I think they were a little awestruck playing in front of 110,000 empty seats.
After a scoreless first period, junior John Hotchkiss put Salisbury up 1-0 off a nice 3-on-2 rush.
In the third, junior D Marc Biega scored on a quick release from the blue line, through a screen to make it 2-0.
Later in the third, junior Philip Zielonka drove to the net hard and classmate Chad Goldberg knocked home the rebound for the 3-0 final.
Both teams played all three of their goalies. For Salisbury, senior Gabe Antoni, soph Tim Ernst, and senior Alex Pepper combined on the shutout.
Will gave special credit to his ‘young’ line of ’95 soph Jason Kalinowski, ’94 junior John Stevens, and ’93 junior Ondrej Krajnak. “They sustained the most consistent pressure for us,” he said.
We should point out that today’s game was a little more intimate than the prep games at Fenway Park last winter in the sense that the fans were closer to the action. Whereas at Fenway the fans were confined to the stands, far from the action, at today’s game the few hundred fans in attendance were able to sit in small field bleachers near each team’s bench, or stand behind the glass. The main seating area was indeed empty.
Tonight, both teams are heading to the Michigan-Utah basketball game. Tomorrow, they will be among the 110,000 at the Michigan-Michigan State outdoor game (2:30 pm).

Wherever you are on this Christmas morning, we hope that the bounty of the season, be it material, spiritual or some nice combination of the two, has landed on your door, and is prepared to settle in for the day, or longer.
From here at the U.S. Hockey Report, we just want to say thank you to all our readers.
