Dominic Zombo scored his first two goals of the season and added three assists in the Mavericks’ sweep of #20 Minnesota Duluth last weekend. Zombo had a pair of helpers on Friday including the primary assist on Michael Young’s game-winning goal in Saturday’s 3-2 win. On Sunday, he scored his first two goals of the year, including the game winner, in a 6-3 win over UMD to help the Mavericks run their win streak to four games. Zombo finished the weekend +3 with two shot blocks.
Miami and Northern Michigan skated to a 2-2 draw Saturday night, but the RedHawks took an extra point in the CCHA standings by virtue of a 2-0 shootout win.
Sophomore Alex Wideman scored the decisive goal in the shootout, as well as the game-tying score as time wound down in the third period.
John Ramage has played 119 games for the University of Wisconsin men’s hockey team — the most on the current roster — so there’s some significance to how the senior defenseman and captain performed last week at Minnesota-Duluth.
No, UMass Lowell freshmen hockey players Ryan McGrath and Greg Amlong are not Siamese twins. It just seems that way because they’ve been virtually inseparable for more than 15 years now.
And if they were Siamese twins, McGrath and Amlong would be the most mismatched twins since Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger. McGrath, a forward, stands a mere 5-7 and weighs 160 pounds, while Amlong, a defenseman, checks in at 6-2, 200.
The River Hawks never trailed in the hockey game. Freshman Ryan McGrath (O’Fallon, Mo.) put UMass Lowell on top at the 10:27 mark of the first period in electrifying fashion. McGrath took a pass from freshman defenseman Greg Amlong (O’Fallon, Mo.) in the neutral zone and danced past two CC defenders just inside the blue line before snapping the puck into the upper left corner of the CC net.
Junior forward Brett Gensler is no ordinary hockey player. He put together one of the best seasons last year that Bentley had ever seen, and this year he’s looking to make some more history.
Gensler broke the school records for goals and points in a single season last year with 23 and 50, respectively, while taking home the Walter Brown Award, awarded to the best American-born college player in New England. Several of Gensler’s teammates as well as Bentley head coach Ryan Soderquist also took home postseason awards after the Falcons won 16 games, but lost in the Atlanta Hockey Association quarterfinals in 2011-12.
David Makowski was miserable. He couldn’t play hockey. He could barely attend class, much less study or take an exam. He suffered nonstop headaches, and the very medication he was taking for treatment may have been the root of the problem.
The Minnesota State men’s hockey team has announced its team captains for the 2012-13 season.
Serving as captains are senior forward Eriah Hayes and senior defenseman Tyler Elbrecht.
Elbrecht, also a three-year letterwinner, has 2-17–19 in 101 games played over the course of his MSU career. The Edwardsville, Ill., native is a two-time WCHA Scholar-Athlete and a two-time WCHA All-Academic honoree.
Team McClanahan bested Team Housley, 5-2, in the inaugural CCM/USA Hockey All-American Prospects Game Saturday (Sept. 29) at the First Niagara Center. Ryan Fitzgerald (North Reading, Mass.) notched three assists for Team McClanahan and received MVP honors. Meanwhile, Evan Allen (Sterling Heights, Mich.) scored both of Team Housley’s goals.
Head Coach Wayne Wilson and the RIT men’s hockey team have announced its captains for the 2012-13 season. Senior defenseman Chris Saracino (St. Louis, MO) will captain the Tigers for the second straight season, while senior forward Adam Hartley (West Vancouver, British Columbia) and sophomore forward Matt Garbowsky (St. George, Ontario/St. John’s Collegiate) will serve as assistant captains. RIT enters its seventh season in the Atlantic Hockey Association and eighth as a Division I program.
