Squirrels 7, Syracuse 5

Posted on by

The Squirrels won their first game in the C2 division Thursday, beating the last place team, Syracuse, 7-5, thanks to hat tricks from Mike Bronson and Chris Wautel. Rob Myers scored the other goal.

The Squirrels went down 2-0 in the first period but Bronson and Wautel each notched goals in the final two minutes of the period.

The Squirrels went up 3-2 in the second period as Bronson scored again. Syracuse answered back, then the Squirrels regained the lead as Myers shot in Chris Long’s pass. But Syracuse scored again and the score was 4-4 going into the final period.

Bronson scored shorthanded only 10 seconds into the third period, and Wautel gave the Squirrels a two-goal cushion about two minutes later. Syracuse scored on the power play but that was as close as they could get before Wautel scored his third of the game to give the Squirrels a 7-5 win.

The Squirrels outshot Syracuse, 7-5, behind backup goaltender Paul Diosuran.

The next game is Thursday, Jan. 31, against the Fighting Docs at 10.

NTAC 9, Squirrels 5

Posted on by

The Squirrels fell to 0-2 since being moved up a division with a 9-5 loss to NTAC on Wednesday. However, the Squirrels made it really interesting down the stretch by tying the game at 5 after being down 5-3 in the third period.

The Squirrels started the game off well as Chris Wautel broke away and scored less than a minute into the game. NTAC tied it up on a power play, and the Squirrels took the lead again as Mich’l Bronson made a few nifty moved and hovered in a backhand shot. NTAC scored the last two goals of the period for a 3-2 lead.

NTAC went up 4-2 in the second period, but Brent Machado answered at 11:41. Then NTAC scored again for the 5-3 lead.

Matt Borlik and Desi Richelsen each scored early in the third to tie the game, but NTAC went ahead for good at 9:36. With less than two minutes remaining, on a power play and the puck in the offensive zone, the Squirrels pulled goaltender Drew Thiemann but NTAC took advantage, scored a shorthanded goal, then twice more in the next 40 seconds.

Wautel, Bronson, Machado, Thiemann, Richelsen, Borlik, Ben Sumner, Dan Carter, Chris Long, Paul Kobernick, Brian Jackson, Jon Magi and Rob Myers played for the Squirrels, who were outshot 34-15.

The next game is Jan. 24 against Syracuse at 10 p.m.

Blast 6, Squirrels 2

Posted on by

Promoted Squirrels Lose First

The league wasted no time in giving the Screaming Squirrels a challenge in their first game in the Bronze 2 division as the Blast handed the Squirrels their first defeat of the season, 6-2, on Thursday. Not all was lost, though, as the Squirrels learned that they could go head-to-head with the first-place Blast, and even lead for much of the first period.

Chris Wautel got the scoring started for the Squirrels with a shorthanded goal at 5:39 of the first period. The Squirrels held the lead and the forecheck until late in the first, when Blast put two up on the board.

Blast scored twice in the second period for a 4-1 lead, the twice more in the third as the Brent Machado answered with a goal.

Drew Thiemann made 25 saves in net as the Squirrels put up 20 shots. Wautel, Machado, Thiemann, Mike Bronson, Chris Long, Dan Carter, Rob Myers, Ben Sumner, Desi Richelsen, Matt Borlik and Jon Magi played for the Squirrels.

The next game is Wednesday, Jan. 16, at 10:10 p.m. against NTAC.

Squirrels Move Up

Posted on by

After dominating the Bronze 3 division for the first ten games of the season, the league moved the Screaming Squirrels up a level and will have them playing some pretty good teams.

The Squirrels will face first-place Blast of Bronze 2, the first place Fighting Docs of Bronze 1, the old friends Panic, familiar faces such as Honkey Kong, Exit First and Syracuse, and teams they’ve never seen, Laughing Skulls 2, Deadeye, Ice Cats and NTAC.

The Squirrels anticipated the move and look forward to the tougher competition.

Squirrels 7, Dead Kings 3

Posted on by

Squirrels Get Wakeup Call

The Dead Kings came out of the gate shooting. The Squirrels couldn’t clear the zone, and the first loss of the season seemed to be a reality. But then the Squirrels found the trick to winning, and what started out as lopsided ice turned into a 7-3 victory behind a solid performance by goaltender Drew Thiemann.

The league’s leading scorer, Jeff Huntington, scored on a wraparound at 1:26 into the game to put the Dead Kings up, 1-0. The Squirrels tied it at 9:42 as Brent Machado scored what he referred to as a ‘fluke.’ Michael Bronson then put the Squirrels up 2-1 at 11:23 with a patient shot out front. Charles Wolstein picked up an assist on the play, the stay-at-home defenseman’s first point of the season. Then the Dead Kings scored on what looked to be a shot with a high stick, but the referees allowed it, and the score was 2-2 after a frustrating first period for the Squirrels.

The score remained tied throughout much of the second period before Chris Long saw a loose puck behind the goaltender, dashed over and hammered it home. Late in the period, Ben Sumner scored on what he referred to as a ‘fluke.’ The second period featured nine minor penalties on both teams, three pairs of which were coincidental.

Bronson, Matt Borlik and Long scored in the third period, but the Dead Kings didn’t give up, and got a third while peppering Thiemann with shots near the end of the game. Thiemann made 28 saves as the Squirrels scored seven times on 26 shots.

Bronson, Machado, Long, Sumner, Borlik, Thiemann, Wolstein, Brian Jackson, Dan Carter, Rob Myers and Matt Benson played for the Squirrels.

The next game is Jan. 3, 2008, at 10 p.m. against the Piranhas.
