Squirrels 9, Meltdown 2

Bronson Gets Hat Trick, and Gordie Howe Hat Trick

The Screaming Squirrels exploded for five goals in the second period Wednesday en route to a 9-2 victory against Meltdown. The Squirrels improved to 3-0 on the season, putting them alone atop the standings.

Paul Kobernick got the scoring started at 3:07 of the first period on beautiful passing plays from Greg Wenograd and Brent Machado. Meltdown broke away on a 2-on-1 and tied the game at 5:27. Then Chris Long scored a couple of minutes later and the Squirrels never looked back. Mike Bronson scored his first as a Squirrel – and his first of three goals – to give the Squirrels a 3-1 lead after the first period.

Bronson scored again at 2:16 of the second period, and the same line scored 10 seconds later as Rob Myers got his second of the season. Four minutes later, Bronson got the hat trick. Machado and Ben Sumner tallied as the Squirrels went up 8-1 after the second period.

Meltdown scored a shorthanded goal and Tony Richelsen roofed a shot in the third period, which saw a variety of penalties on both teams, including ones that made the Squirrels wonder how two guys shoving each other could lead to such lopsided punishments.

The next game is Thursday, Oct. 25, at 10 p.m. against the Mighty Old Ducks.

Squirrels 5, Piranhas 1

The Squirrels’ 5-1 victory against the Piranhas in Sunday’s opening game was only part of the story. The Squirrels got a glimpse of their future as the new guys – Mike Bronson and Dan Carter – combined for four assists on four of the goals, all while controlling much of the game.

Brent Machado scored the first goal of the season only 30 seconds into the game. Two minutes later, Tony Richelsen’s individual effort put the Squirrels up 2-0. The Piranhas struck back with a breakaway goal 13 minutes into the first period, but it was all Squirrels after that. Ben Sumner bounced the puck off the back of the goaltender to put the Squirrels up 3-1 before the end of the period. Matt Borlik scored the only goal of the second period and Sumner added his second of the game in the third period. Drew Thiemann made 14 saves in net as the Squirrels put up 25 goals.

Machado, Bronson, Carter, Sumner, Borlik, Thiemann, Tony Richelsen, Desi Richelsen, Charles Wolstein, Chris Long and Jon Magi played for the Squirrels.

The next game is Tuesday, Oct. 9, at 10 p.m. against Gnu.

Squirrels Buzzed in Heineken Tournament

The Screaming Squirrels, along with players from Panic and HNA’s Vipers, finished 0-1-2 in the Heineken ice tournament Friday and Saturday, despite a moral victory in the final game.

The Squirrels lost 7-2 in the first game to the White Caps. They tied the Larry’s 1-1 in the second game, which they felt they should have won. Then they played Brew Pub, who had beaten the White Caps 3-0 and beaten the Larry’s 8-0. Brew Pub took the lead early and appeared to be on the verge of running away with the game, but the Squirrels won the second period and tied the game at 3-3. Then Brew Pub took over in the third period, and eventually won 9-4. However, Brew Pub was furious that they had given up four goals.

The players enjoyed the tournament and are looking forward to playing in it again.

Squirrels Enter Heineken Ice Tournament

The Screaming Squirrels are partnering with skaters from HNA’s Vipers and Laurel’s Panic to play in the Chesapeake Bay Adult Hockey Tournament at the Gardens Ice House in Laurel on April 13-15. They will play a minimum of three games.
