Squirrels 8, Silver Spring 5

Posted on by

The rust was apparent, but the Squirrels shook it off in the second half and defeated Silver Spring, 8-5, on Tuesday.

Don Marks, Chris Long and the new guy, Chris Wautel, scored in the first half as the teams skated to a 3-3 draw. Silver Spring took the lead early in the second half, but then Jeff Ford got a centering pass from Ben Sumner to tie the game. Only 19 seconds later, Ford sent a pass back to new team captain Kit Watson, who took a slap shot which deflected off of the middle of Sumner’s stick into the net. Rob Myers scored with 1:43 remaining in the game to give the Squirrels a 6-4 lead. When Silver Spring pulled their goalie a minute later, Jeff Ford scored on the empty net. But then Silver Spring scored again, and pulled their goalie again. And Ford scored another empty-netter to get the hat-trick.

The Squirrels outshot Silver Spring 24-21. Juan Canchasto, Phil Van der Vossen, Matt Borlik and Chi Pham missed the game for the Squirrels, who have one of the deepest lineups in the league.

The next game is Tuesday, April 24, at 8:30 p.m. against The 5 Holes.

Roller Schedule Released

Posted on by

The Laurel C division will have some familiar faces as the 2007 roller season begins in a couple of weeks. The Squirrels will be reacquainted with Silver Spring, The 5 Holes, Chupacabras, Enigma and Mors ab Alto, and will face Washington Whale and the Swingers for the first time. The Squirrels will play these teams three times each, except for the Swingers, who they will only play twice.

A quick look at each team:

The Screaming Squirrels will make a push for a third championship in five years after adding high-scorer Chris Wautel from the 5 Holes to their roster.

Defending champs Enigma are expected to be a threat with new skater Mike Vogt, who also plays for the Dragons in the B Division, and used to play with the Shockwave on Sundays with Squirrels Kit Watson and Bob Sewell.

Silver Spring started strong last season then fizzled. If attendance is not an issue for this team, they can beat anyone at any time.

The 5 Holes, runner-ups two of the past three seasons, will have to step it up a notch as they not only play without Chris Wautel, but must overcome a couple of suspensions carried over from last season. However, they managed to pick up the league’s leading scorer, Greg Goldkind, after Goldkind’s team, Snipe, folded. Goldkind led the league in scoring by a wide margin last season.

The Chupacabras once in a while pull off a victory against a top-notch team, but typically finish in the middle of the pack. Two seasons ago they knocked off the heavily-favored Hurricanes to make it to the championship game before getting beat by the Squirrels

Unless Mors ab Alto added some scorers, they may be bottom-dwellers again.

Washington Whale comes from the weeknight B division. They have hard-nosed players and can skate with just about anyone, but an aging lineup has presumably slowed them over the years.

The Squirrels will no longer have to worry about Snipe, who folded after being told they would move up to the B division, or the Hurricanes, who requested to be moved back down to C. Also gone are the Bullhawks and Storm. The Squirrels know little about the Swingers.

The Squirrels team practice will be Thursday, April 12, at 8 p.m. All games this season will be in the Logsdon Pavilion, aka the back rink.

Wautel Joins Squirrels Roller Team

Posted on by

The Screaming Squirrels picked up free-agent Chris Wautel from rival the 5 Holes, after the 5 Holes decided to trim down their roster.

Wautel, who the Squirrels have played against for years while he was on Mors ab Alto and the 5 Holes, is bound to greatly improve the Squirrels’ scoring numbers in 2007. He had 35 goals and 16 assists for 51 points in 2006, figuring into nearly half of the 5 Holes’ scoring.

The Screaming Squirrels unanimously approved adding Wautel to the roster while trading stories of roughing him up and shutting him down (though he scored a goal or two to haunt the Squirrels.)

He will be #96.

In other news, goaltender Bob Sewell squashed retirement rumors and is currently training for the upcoming season.
