MPHL opening weekend notes

The Prep team kicked off the MPHL season in Vermont on October 29th and it was beyond what the expectations were going in. On Friday morning, the team squared off with St. Francis out of Buffalo and the adrenaline kicked in quickly. Masen Culley and Mathieu Fehr had 2 goals each and Will Soloway, Ben Snyderman and Owen Hardy had the others. Ian Vandenberg stopped all 21 shots for a 7-0 win. The next stop was Gilmour Academy. The boys played a very nervous 1st period and trailed 2-0. The second period saw a much different team and Scott Daniel scored to make it 2-1. The Caxy’s carried the play all period but could not score on 16 shots and then an unfortunate bounce made it 3-1 Gilmour after 2. Gilmour started the 3rd with a 5 on 3 and converted on a great pass to make it 4-1. That’s when the game turned and for the next 14 minutes the Caxy’s dominated play and came back to make it 4-3 but that’s as close as we got and lost 5-3. Charlie Campbell stopped 27 of 32 shots and Tommy Enrietto and Masen Culley scored the 2 third-period goals. 6 hours later the team faced Shady Side Academy out of Pittsburgh and put the morning loss behind them and came out and stunned Shady Side 6-0. Ian Vandenberg once again had the shut out and Tommy Enrietto had 2 goals while Culley, Stubbings, Fehr and Goduco had one each. Sunday morning was an early 820 start time and within 35 seconds the Caxy’s were up 2-0 on Rice with goals from Culley and Soloway. By the end of the second period, the team had a 6-1 lead and went on to close the weekend out with a 6-3 victory. Charlie Campbell stopped 22 out of 25 shots for the win and Aidan Stubbings, Mathieu Fehr, and Owen Hardy had 2 goals. 

Players of the game were: game 1 Masen Culley, game 2 Tommy Enrietto, game 3 Owen Coxe and game 4 Connor Drobny
