Cushing Tops Williston, 4-1

Easthampton, Mass. – Cushing Academy got goals from four different scorers and a 28-save effort from junior Joey Hallstrom in a 4-1 win at Williston today.

The game-winning goal came when sophomore Vilho Saariluoma tipped home Matt Dillon’s shot from the left point to make it 2-1 at the 6:41 mark of the second period.

Cushing’s Marc McLaughlin would add an insurance goal when, while killing a 5x3, his shot, which was initially stopped but subsequently boxed around by Williston goalie Donnie Battimelli, landed in the back of the net. Cushing made it 4-1 in the third when junior Alec Andreucci’s pass from the corner found senior Brent Hill in front to make it a 4-1 final.

Earlier, in the first period, Cushing opened the scoring when Ashton Fry’s behind-the-back pass found senior Jeffrey Morgan in the slot, and Morgan’s wrister found the back of the net. However, with 1:08 left in the period, Williston got it back, taking advantage of a Cushing defensive breakdown to spring junior Nick Schofield for a breakaway goal. The first period ended 1-1.

Williston, however, would not score again, and that was the story. Cushing made more plays, and has more firepower. Williston, however, is a gritty team and skated with Cushing until the final buzzer. They don’t have starpower but they are well-coached and work hard. They will create difficulties for opponents that aren’t ready to play.

Notes:

Williston is 0-3 but the losses have come vs. KUA, Salisbury, and now Cushing. Not an easy row to hoe.

Cushing junior Marc McLaughlin was the best player on the ice, hands-down. The right-shot center, who has reportedly decommitted from St. Lawrence, is noticeable every time he’s on the ice. He has a great long stride and covers all three zones extremely well. In addition, he makes plays, and he competes. Look for McLaughlin to get a lot of attention from Hockey East schools.

6’3”, 200 lb. sophomore forward Vilho Saariluoma is interesting. The ’99 from Finland skates well for his size and can make some good plays. But he also makes some not-so-good plays. He seems a little in-and-out in terms of his involvement and ability to impact the game. But he’s young and is adjusting to a new style.

6’3” new senior Jacob Kamps, a UVM recruit, was effective using his size and strength. Not a lot of finesse, but he can take it to the net and create space for his teammates. He injured his knee late in the third period. No word yet on whether he will miss any future game action.

Cushing has several young defensemen who caught our attention:

5’10” sophomore RD Noah Kim, a ’00 from the LA Jr. Kings, has a good stick and feet to match. Very good laterally. Highly mobile. Made a bad defensive zone TO in the first, but he’s young, and will keep getting better.

6’3” sophomore RD Nolan McElhaney, a ’99 from California, could get a lot of attention in the years to come. He skates well for his size, with great long strides. 


5’10” sophomore LD Cam Berube, a ’00 from Haverhill, Mass., did a good job, and played a big role on the PK.

For Williston, 6’0” junior Nick Schofield, a ’98 centerman from Foxboro, Mass., was a huge standout. A skilled, two-way power forward, the team will go as far as Schofield takes them. As far as we know, he’s not getting much in the way of D-I attention but he looks like he has the tools to succeed at that level. He does a lot of things well, and there is room for his game to grow. At the very least, Schofield would make a reliable bottom six guy at a lot of programs.

Quotes:

“We started slow but we never felt out of control of the game,” said Cushing coach Rob Gagnon. “We used our PK to change the momentum of the game. It’s not a good habit to get into, but sometimes a good PK can give you life.”

Williston coach Derek Cunha said, “I like our team. We think we compete hard and there’s a lot of depth. We were right with them. That 5x3 shorthanded fluky goal swung it. But it’s characteristic of our team that we play the full 54 minutes. I think we’ve now shown that we can compete with the top teams.”

Nobles Squeaks By Tabor, 1-0
Dedham, Mass. – A Jerry Harding second-period goal on the power play and a 29-save shutout from junior Harry Sherman lifted host Noble & Greenough to a hard-fought 1-0 win over Tabor Academy here today.

The SeawolvesJeremie Forget (21/22) was the hard-luck loser.

There was only one goal in the game, but a slew of penalties – eight against Nobles, and seven against Tabor. In the second period, Nobles took three straight penalties beginning at about the four minute mark, when a major for boarding was called on Nobles forward Ben Rice for a hit on Tabor’s Max Sauve. Two minor penalties followed, giving Tabor over four minutes of 5x3 power play time – a golden opportunity. However, they were unable to capitalize on it.

Early in the third, Nobles killed off what was left of the Seawolves' power play. For the rest of the period, Tabor held off Nobles, which had numerous chances. With six minutes left to go, Nobles’ Luke Stevens was called for hooking, and Tabor called a timeout to draw up a play. But within 20 seconds of play resuming, Tabor was called for a penalty, negating a late opportunity.

In a last-ditch effort, with about 1:15 left in regulation, Tabor pulled its goalie, but could not get the equalizer.


Notes:

Nobles’ top two lines – senior Luke Stevens, junior Cam Burke, and senior Danny Jacobs; and sophomore Jerry Harding, freshman Patrick Moynihan, and senior Michael Fahie -- could be the best one-two punch of forward lines in prep hockey this season. Four of the six players – all except Jacobs and Harding – have D-I commitments.

Nobles features two ’00 defensemen in freshman John Murray and sophomore Trevor Spence, both of whom played significant minutes -- and in every situation including the power play and penalty kill.

Senior Pat Murphy, John’s older brother, played a strong defensive game for Nobles and should draw interest from D-III schools.

Tabor, as we mentioned the other day, is without standout forward Ben Taylor, who will be on the shelf until at least early January.

We liked the play of Tabor junior goaltender Jeremie Forget, a 6’0” late ’97 from Mascouche, Quebec. He’s athletic and his positioning is sound.

Please Help Out the Allen Family This Christmas

Southfield School is hosting its annual Christmas tournament this coming weekend, and Southfield Athletic Director -- and former head varsity hockey coach -- Amy Cokinos has asked us to pass along the following to USHR readers. Her words, which follow, will be included in the tournament program, so this is for those of you who can't make it to Brookline, but want to help out the family of Ed Allen, who died tragically in an auto accident Saturday Dec. 5th in Millbrook, NY.

"As we take to the ice this weekend, our thoughts and prayers are with the Allen family and the Millbrook community. We are all deeply saddened at the recent loss of Athletic Director, coach, and teacher Ed Allen. Ed was a devoted husband, father, friend, coach, mentor, and colleague. His drive and passion made us all better players and coaches. Ed's presence will be missed but his love for the game and his players will remain with all of us.

"A trust has been established to benefit and support the Allen family. You can donate through the giving form located on the Millbrook School website or by check. Checks should be made out to "Reed Smith LLP, as Escrowee" and should include "Allen Family Trust" in the memo line. Please send checks to Millbrook School, Attn: Development Office, 131 Millbrook School Road, Millbrook, NY 12545.

"On a personal note, I enjoyed coaching against Ed. His teams were always well prepared, hard-working, and a great challenge for the Southfield teams. He was always advocating for his girls, whether it was to get them recognized as a league all-star, create a tougher schedule, or get them into college. I will always remember that his team ended my last season as coach. We were undefeated the entire year and I knew going into the game that it would be tough to beat his team again, and we were unable to. I believe his team made it to the championship game that year.

"I hope that you can find a way to help let the hockey community know of his passing and the opportunity to help his two daughters and wife.

There is more information available on the Millbrook School website."

Thank you,

Amy
