Sat. Feb. 8 Highlights
@ Choate 3, Westminster 2 (OT) – Sophomore Henry Marshall’s OT blast lifted the Wild Boars to the win. Westminster had held a 2-1 lead early in the third after sophomore Taggart Corriveau scored on a snap shot, but Choate tied it up at 2-2 just minutes later when junior Elliot Polur tapped home a great feed from junior D Vincent Ditmore. Choate junior Sam Tucker (27/29) picked up the win. Westy senior Zac Hamilton (26/29) took the loss. This was a really good game – and a highly-scouted one, too -- with back-and-forth action throughout. With the win, Choate improves to 10-5-3 in NEPSIHA play.

Canterbury 4 @ Cushing 3 – A third-period PPG from senior Mark Bowen – his second of the game -- broke a 3-3 tie and lifted Canterbury to a 4-3 win over #4-ranked Cushing. Cushing outshot Canterbury 50-29 but Saints senior goaltender Christian Short came up big, kicking out 47 shots. Each team incurred 12 penalties, and six of the game’s seven goals were powerplay tallies. Cushing saw its four-game win streak come to an end, while Canterbury, undefeated in its last six, improved to 10-9-1 in NEPSIHA play. Cushing has a chance to bounce back quickly, as they host #2-ranked Salisbury in a 3:00 pm Sunday tilt.

@ BB&N 3, Belmont Hill 1 – Less than 24 hours after upsetting #3-ranked Thayer, Belmont Hill went on the road to Cambridge and came up short against BB&N. The Knights got goals from senior d-men Connor Hegarty and Brien Diffley. Sophmore F Joe DeSimone (1g,1a) had two points. Shots were even at 22-22. Goalies were senior Steven Grinsztein (21 saves) for BB&N, and soph Matthew Barrow (19 saves) for Bel Hill. BB&N improves to 13-8-1 in NEPSIHA play.

Exeter 1 @ NMH 0 -- #5 Exeter, on a first-period goal from PG Patrick Besse, edged #9 NMH. Senior Jack Parsons – with 30 saves – earned the shutout. Hoggers PG Kyle Redmond (36/37) took the loss.

@ Berkshire 6, Governor’s 1 – Senior D Bryan Gerstenfeld, an Army recruit, had four assists, while senior forwards Craig Puffer (1g,1a) and Nate Summers (1g,1a) each had two points to lead the Bears’ offense. Senior George Blinick had 17 saves for the win, as #7-ranked Berkshire, now 14-4-3 in NEPSIHA play, outshot Gov’s 46-18.

@ Rivers 3, Roxbury Latin 0 – Senior F Steve VanSiclen scored two goals and junior D Matt Lombardozzi had three assists to lead the Rivers attack. Junior Ryan Colena (12/12) picked up the win; Roxbury Latin senior Jonathan Marchetti (42/45) was the hard-luck loser.

Rye Country Day 4 @ Portsmouth Abbey 2 – Junior Will Halloran had a pair of goals and senior Michael Mossman kicked out 30 shots for the win.

@ Deerfield 3, Avon Old Farms 1 – Seniors Trevor Yates (2g,1a) and Sam Lafferty (1g,1a) led the Big Green to the .500 mark in NEPSIHA play (7-7-3).

New Hampton 5 @ Kents Hill 3 – PG F Kyle Valliere (1g,2a) and PG D Matt McLelland (2g) led the New Hampton offense, and senior goalie Tim Sestak kicked out 38 of 41 shots for the win.  New Hampton (13-12-2) improves to one game over .500 in NEPSIHA play.

@ Kimball Union 4, Holderness 0 – Sophomore D Ben Finkelstein (2g) and senior forwards Tyler Bird (3a) and AJ Greer (1g,1a) led the Wildcats’ attack. Kimball Union junior goaltender Gavin Nieto (14/14) earned the shutout while Holderness freshman Logan Batemen (52/56) took the loss.

Millbrook 3, Williston 1 – PG goalie Josh Davies kicked out 25 of 26 shots and Millbrook got goals from three different scorers to improve to 12-9-0 in NEPSIHA play.

Dexter 5 @ Tabor 2 -- #10-ranked Dexter was led by junior Ryan Donato (1g,2a) and senior goaltender Pat Fraser (25/27). This was a 2-2 game until senior D Ian Sheridan scored an early second period goal to put Dexter up by a goal. Dexter added a pair of goals in the third.

@ Lawrenceville 3, Bridgton Academy 0 – L’ville sophomore goaltender Monty Cunningham stopped all 31 shots he faced to earn the shutout.  

@ St. Mark’s 9, Middlesex 1 – Sophs Zach Tsekos (2g,2a), Luke O’Brien (2g,1a), and Owen Allen (2g,1a); junior Adam Lee (3a), and senior Jeff Cyr (2g,1a) led the Lions attack while sophomore goaltender Ryan Ferland kicked out 20 of 21. The Young Lions, who outshot Middlesex 48-21, have won five in a row and are now 14-6-4 in NEPSIHA play. After starting the season 0-3-2, they have only lost three of their last 19 games

@ Gunnery 3, Pomfret 1 -- #6 Gunnery got goals from three different scorers to win for the 11^th time in their last 12 games.

Salisbury 3 @ Loomis 1 – A day after knocking off #1 Kent, Loomis took a shot at #2 Salisbury and, although they were in a 1-1 game until late in the third, couldn’t pull it off as Salisbury senior Derek Barach scored his second goal of the game on the powerplay with 2:07 to play. The play came about when Loomis’ Eric Esposito tripped Evan Smith, who was breaking the puck out of his own end. With the ensuing faceoff in Salisbury’s end, senior defenseman Will Toffey, at the top of the umbrella, fed Barach for a one-timer slapshot that caught the top right corner – and sent the water bottle airborne – for one of the season’s better highlight-reel goals. Barach added an empty-netter with 15 seconds remaining to seal the win for Salisbury, now 14-1-4. Senior Evan Smith assisted on all three of Barach’s goals today, and Neil Robinson had a couple of assists as well. Senior Mitchell Datz (21/22) got the win; Loomis senior Nick Kamm (33/35) took the loss.

Hebron 5, Albany Academy 2 – In a neutral site game played at Phillips Exeter, Hebron got a pair of goals from PG Shawn Cameron and a 16-save effort from PG G Luke Tremblay. The Lumberjacks outshot AA, 49-18.

Brooks 4 @ St. George’s 2 – Junior F KJ Moore (1g,1a) and his younger brother, sophomore D Connor Moore (3a) led the Brooks attack. Junior G Max Prawdzik (20/22) earned the win. St. George’s freshman Shane Conlon (39/43) took the loss. Junior Gino Roy scored both of the Dragons’ goals.

@ Nobles 5, Milton 3 – Nobles broke up a 2-2 third period game with three goals. Juniors Miles Wood (2g,1a) and Cody Todesco (1g,2a) each had three points for Nobles, while soph Brendan Cytulik (22/25) got the win. Senior D Chad Malinowski had a pair of goals for the Mustangs.

@ Taft 5, Hotchkiss 2 – Juniors Ross Colton (2g,1a) and Marcus Mollica (1g,2a), and senior Cole Maier (3a) teamed up for three of the Rhinos’ first four goals en route to the 5-2 win. Freshman goalie Andrew Farrier (32/34) picked up the win.

Kent 5 @ Trinity-Pawling 2 – Junior Max Kaufman scored three goals, the last an empty-netter, to lead the #1-ranked Lions to the road win. Senior forwards Louis Zerter-Gossage (1g,1a) and Brendan Soucie (1g,1a), and sophomore D Greg Krisberg (2a) each had two points. Senior G Stephen Morrissey (31/33) earned the win.

A Short Break

A number of prep coaches -- and this is something we greatly appreciate here at USHR -- enter their line scores and/or box scores themselves. Some don't, however, and because of that we rely on a great volunteer who, for years now, has been seeking out and filling in all the missing scores -- a true labor of love.

Alas, he needs a break, and will be off duty until Sunday, at which time he will fill in the blanks and bring things up to date. In the meantime, we offer in advance our thanks to any coaches who enter their own scores.

And we thank our readers for their patience.

Snowday

It doesn't look good for Wednesday's slate of games, as the National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for pretty much all of New England. 

Across Massachusetts, up to 10 inches of snow is expected.

If coaches could email information(at)ushr.com and let us know if your game has been canceled or postponed, we'd be grateful. If the latter, please let us know if you have a makeup date. We have some changes already, and they can be found in the prep composite schedule below.

By the way, the Weather Channel is calling this one Nika, which they are claiming is named for the Greek goddess of victory. When this typist was in middle school, the Greek goddess of victory was Nike -- with an e -- and still is, though perhaps that name was subsequently trademarked by the sneaker guys, assuming one can even trademark a Greek goddess. More likely, the Weather Channel didn't want people to think they were naming storms after sneakers. We can understand that. However, Nika, as in the name of the impending storm, is the ancient Greek word for conquer or victory, which seems like a foreboding name for a winter storm.
