Roller Team Adds Three Players

Posted on by

The Screaming Squirrels inline team will have several familiar faces returning, but also some new ones. Wes Gassert, brother of former Squirrel ice and roller goon Kyle, will be joining the squad, as will Brian Iciek and Eric Smith, all of whom come from our Rockville connections.

Returning are the regulars Ben Sumner, Don Marks, Juan Canchasto, Jeff Ford, Mark Tessar, Chi Pham, Rob Myers, and Stu Miller in net.

The Bronze league won’t be easy though, as familiar teams return, including the Hurricanes, who haven’t played at this level for five years. Also returning are The 5 Holes, the Real C Team, Whale, Team Mylec, Silver Spring, High Rollers, and District 5, with the Jesters joining the league.

Games begin April 25.

Squirrels End Regular Season With Win

Posted on by

Oddly enough, Sunday’s 3-1 victory for the Squirrels won’t earn them extra standings points, since a scheduling abnormality got them an extra game in the regular season. Instead, the win kept them from losing two points. While the first-round playoff opponent isn’t set until after the Piranhas-Nordiques game, the Squirrels stepped up their efforts in preparation for the playoffs, which begin next week.

After a scoreless first period, goaltender Eric Coulson let in his only goal of the game early in the second. But the Squirrels’ took advantage of quality blueline shots as Don Marks and Chi Pham each tallied, with Pham’s marker coming on a power play.

After lots of hard work in keeping it 2-1, the Squirrels added an insurance marker on another power play as Paul Kobernick netted a rebound. Brent Machado earned assists on all three goals, and led the Squirrels in scoring with 13 goals and 9 assists for the season.

The Squirrels finished 12-8-1 on the season (with one win not counting) as they head into the playoffs, set to defend their Bronze 2 winter championship.

Squirrels Lose Close One to 1st Place Highlanders

Posted on by

Tony Richelsen scored the Squirrels’ lone goal of the night on the powerplay to give the Squirrels an early lead but it would not last as the Highlanders would answer with a goal later in the 1st period and the eventual game winner in the 2nd period to escape with the 2-1 win.

Richelsen’s dynamic rush up the ice and top shelf wrister to put the Squirrels up early on in the contest seemed to be a sign of more good things to come. However, the Highlanders were able to tie the game at 1 with a quick power play goal less than 10 minutes later.

Highlander defenseman Joe Burkhardt broke the tie with an end-to-end rush, beating goalie Eric Coulson 5-hole with a wrister halfway through the 2nd period. It would be all the scoring the Highlanders would need. Goalie Ernie Miller would shut the door and deny every single Squirrel chance that would follow.

The loss leaves the Squirrels with a record of 11-8-1, good for 23 standings points and a tie for 5th place with the Piranhas. The final game of the regular season for the Squirrels is Sunday, March 27th, at 11AM.

Squirrels Shut Out Vikings

Posted on by

The offense came alive last night as the Squirrels downed the Vikings, 9-0. It took a little while for things to get going, but once it did, it was raining goals on Vikings goalie Greg Mumma. It was enough to make a goalie cry!

Leading the way for the Squirrels was Brent Machado with 2 goals and 3 assists, Mark Tessar with 3 goals, and Tony Richelsen with a goal and 2 assists. Every Squirrels skater on the roster recorded at least one point.

After scoring only once in the opening 15 minute period, the Squirrels exploded for 5 in the 2nd and 3 more in the 3rd. Goalie Eric Coulson was not severely tested but did have to make a few strong saves to preserve the shutout.

With the win, the Squirrels move to 11-7-1 and 23 standings points, good for 4th in the Bronze 2 Division with 2 games remaining. Next game is Sunday, March 20th against the first place Highlanders.

Laughing Skulls 5, Squirrels 2

Posted on by

Generating offense has been the main struggle of the Squirrels all season, but they’ve always found an exception when playing against the lowly Laughing Skulls. But a relative lack of effort led to the Squirrels giving up a season-high five goals – two more than in any previous game – in a 5-2 loss. The Squirrels also squandered several power plays, including two-man advantages, though they did outshoot the Skulls, 29-15.
