Landon Hockey 7 Salesianum 0

The Sallies and the Bears have scheduled games for several years with Landon losing at home in 2017. This year the Delaware school was 5-6 with losses to DeMatha 2-3 (in November) 3-7 (in December at Laurel). Unlike past trips up I-95 to Newark, the visitors were ready.

Playing in the First State, the Bears were the first (and only) to score. JoeyGraham beat the home goalie @ 13:32 with an assist to Ryan Giles. Soon thereafter, the Argentinian Assassin a/k/a Nico Kenary swooped in from his wing to tally @ 10:53.  At the end of the period, the referees assigned a Sallie to the sin bin for the obligatory two minutes, but the Bears used only 0:07.9 of the PP to convert—Jake Davidson to Ryan to Joey @0:15.3.

Landon put 14 SOGs while Ty Morton only faced 2 shots

The second period was not as eventful—no Bear goals, 1 Sallie penalty, 2 Bear PKs (240 seconds; 0 Home SOGs), Landon 16 SOGS, Ty 0 saves (another period in which the Bears protected their goalie with a “shot” out)

The visitors’ shooting improved in the last trimester; perhaps, these goals were attributable to the fact that the opponents were tired. After dealing with three Landon lines and three defensive pairs who were constantly  skating, moving the puck and playing as team, the Sallies were no longer able to ride, Sally, ride ( a reference to the refrain of Wilson Pickett’s 1966 song “Mustang Sally”).

The 4^th goal involved the JRJ line with Joey moving the puck to Ryan and then to the Big Jake @ 10:38. Another PP did result in a Bear goal Nico connected with Will Jarrett @9:53.

The older Weinstein twin Ethan {happy 16^th to 23 and Max} got the next goal started and the swarming Joey and Ryan controlled the puck with the youngest Giles scoring @ 1:23.

To put a final point on the scoreboard, one of the baby Bears, Jack-Henry Lages fed the tall senior Nico for his second goal @0:06.2

Third period: Ty had 9 saves (game-11); Bears’ O put 17 SOGs (47).

IAC season begins Friday 1/5 @ 8:10pm Kettler v. SSSA

Newark, DE is almost a home game for Coach Kim Weiss and the location of the Salesianum was a catalyst for a little research on her hockey records:

Trinity’s Weiss Named As NESCAC Women’s Ice Hockey Player Of The Year

Weiss’ final season in a Bantam sweater has proven to be her best

Hartford, Conn. – Trinity College senior captain forward Kim Weiss (Potomac, Md.) was named as the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) Women’s Ice Hockey Player of the Year.  The first skater in the 13-year history of the program to record 100 points over a career, Weiss is the second Bantam in as many years to garner the conference’s top award after former teammate Isabel Iwachiw became the first-ever Trinity player to do so in 2010.

Weiss’ final season in a Bantam sweater has proven to be her best, as she has posted a team-leading and career-high 22 goals (2nd NESCAC) and 30 points (2nd) over 25 games en route to becoming the program’s all-time scoring leader with 107 points during her tenure (62-45-107).This year’s success on the ice can partially be attributed to the lack of time Weiss has spent in the penalty box, having been whistled for just four penalties, a single-season low for her. During a 2-0 victory over Colby on Feb. 11, Weiss scored both goals, the first of which made her the first Bantam to ever reach the century mark in career points. An All-NESCAC First Team selection in each of the last three years, Weiss heads into this weekend’s NESCAC tournament action riding a 10-game point-scoring streak (11-2-13), needing just one more point on Saturday to match her career-long consecutive game point streak of 11 set during the 2009-10 campaign.

Kim was a four-year member of the Trinity varsity ice hockey team and was recognized with 1st Team All-American, and NESCAC Player of the Year awards.  Serving as team captain her junior and senior years, Kim led her team to the NESCAC finals and an NCAA tournament bid for the first time in program history. She was a four-time All-NESCAC recipient, and is currently the program’s all time leading scorer. Kim was also a finalist for the Laura Hurd Award as Div. III Player of the Year. Additionally, she was awarded the Trinity Club of Hartford Award, given annually to the top senior female athlete of the college voted on by her fellow athletes.

Kim is a USA Hockey Level 4 certified coach and graduated from Georgetown Visitation School in Washington, DC.
