Former Squirrels winger Oriana Senatore announced the birth of her son, Antonio. She says that she’ll be fitting him for ice skates in two years, and aspires for him to be a defenseman.
Senatore played three seasons for the Squirrels, including the inaugural ice season when the Squirrels went undefeated and won the championship.
The Squirrels again made quick work of the Maryland Mutineers on Sunday, scoring two goals in the first minute of play, two more later in the period and two in the third period for a 6-0 victory. More impressive was that they held the Mutineers to only five shots in the game, tying a team record for fewest allowed.
Greg Wenograd scored three goals in the game and Jon Magi had three assists, while Drew Thiemann posted the shutout. The Mutineers held the Squirrels scoreless in the second period though the Squirrels put 16 shots on net. They finished with 33 for the game.
Rob Myers had the first goal of the game, Matt Borlik scored on the power play and Ben Sumner also scored for the Squirrels in the first period. Wenograd got the hat trick after netting two goals in the third period, including one short-handed and unassisted with 35 seconds remaining.
Don Marks, Jared Genser and Desi Richelson missed the game for the Squirrels.
The next game is Tuesday, Nov. 22, at 10:25 against the Nordiques in Resor. A practice is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 18, 9:15 p.m. at Cabin John Ice Rink.
Squirrels roller captain Edmund Bager II ran in the 30th annual Marine Corps Marathon on Oct. 30, finishing 8013th overall with a time of 4:34:56. When asked how running a marathon compares to hockey, Bager replied, “Dude, it’s apples and oranges, hockey’s much more fun and can be played anytime, while the marathon is something you have to train for to accomplish.” Bager, 35, missed two ice games while preparing for the race. “I’m glad I did it, but I’m glad it’s over, now I can focus on hockey for the remainder of the year,” he said.
The Gardens Ice House announced Thursday that effective Sunday, Nov. 13, the winless Clippers will move to the C3B division from C3A. The Squirrels will play them on Wednesday, Dec. 21, at 10:15 p.m. in Resor. To make room for that game, the Feb. 19 game against Syracuse has been dropped.
