|
Pennsylvania and Connecticut met on January 13th in the final game of the day on January 13th, 2008. Connecticut was very shorthanded for the game playing without par-olympian Tim Jones and without one of their best defensive players, Sean Bucchere, who had been injured during the first game of the day when WolfPack played the NY Rangers. CT fought hard to stay in the game during with first period led by the outstanding Goaltending of its captain Karen Smith (10 Saves). Pa led by para-olympians Connelly (4 goals) and Hallman (2 goals) began its dominating play in the 2nd and 3rd periods. PA’s old guard also contributed and continued their outstanding play as Mike Doyle (1 goal and 1 assist) and Jim Leatherman (1 goal) showed that experience still counts. Lubin (2 goals) was also a scoring factor as PA went on to solidly defeat CT by the score of 10 – 0. |

OPENING DAY 2007-2008 - The 2007-2008 season opened on December 6th with the first game between New Hampshire and Connecticut. Connecticut got out of the gate immediately as the newest member of the under-20 US National team, Anthony Kuntz scored less than 2 minutes into the game. New Hampshire came back and scored its first goal midway through the first period. New Hampshire began to dominate during the 2nd period, as Connecticut tried to keep pace. Time Jones, US National team member and US paralympian, scored 4 goals for the Wolf Pack in the 2nd and 3rd periods. They could not keep pace, however, as New Hampshire, playing paralympians Joe Howard (2 goals) and Kip St Germaine (1 goal) along with men’s US National Team member Josh Moran (5 goals), completed an 8-5 opening game victory. |
