Bears Hockey 5 Cadets 5

St. John’s College High School strolled from RIA rink 1 to the Bears Den with confidence of a 9 game undefeated streak (maybe 10; their game on Tuesday has not been recorded) averaging 5.4 GAA while only allowing their opponents 1.8. They also had images in their brains from their November 4 to 1 win over the Landon team

The first fifteen minute segment was a period in which the “Johnnies” controlled the puck and scored the much lamented 1^st goal at 12:05. The home team responded @ 10:45  on a Reid Pehrkon pass to Kevin Fou who found goal-scorer Ishaan Sethi.

SJCHS got its 2^nd goal at 5:17

 Leo Quattrone made 10 saves while his teammates put 7 on net. Landon was assessed 2 penalties (one a 5 minute) and did not surrender any PPGs. St. John’s was exempt from the sin bin.

END OF 1^ST PERIOD BEARS 1 CADETS 2

Landon came out firing in period #2. Sebby Kenary received a nice pass from Zaakir Kahn to tie the game @ 9:36. A hard-earned score was earned by the home team @1:58 to take the lead—credits Assists-Quinn Farland & Mike Hardie; Goal—Owen Calderone.

The boys from Rink 1 eked out a tying tally at 0:17.7

Leo Quattrone made 6 saves while his teammates put 7 on net. No one was committed to the penalty box during this stanza

END OF 2nd PERIOD BEARS 3 CADETS 3

After the ice got its shave, the home team ruled the rink—beating the SJCHS goalie @ 13:09 and then @11:15—Reid used his speed and hands to feed Mike for goal #4 to resume the advantage; then Mike passed to Quinn to take a +2 lead.

Landon incurred three 2 minute penalties while St. John’s was found to have played without sin. At 3:05 the Cadets brought their margin to -1. With 01:37 remaining in the game, the Bears’ were assessed their 3^rd penalty. St. John’s pulled their goalie and skated with a 6 on 4 advantage. Sadly, they brought the scoreboard to 5-5 at 0:31.

Leo Quattrone, who was heroic in defense of his nets,made 18 saves while his teammates were 2 for 3 on visiting goal.
