The Squirrels got the new season off on the right foot Wednesday, holding off the Wheaton Capitals, 6-3 in the newly-renovated Resor Rink (which now has the penalty box and scorekeeper on the same side of the benches).
After a scoreless first, the Squirrels exploded for four goals in the second period, then a fifth early in the third. The Wheaton Capitals scored three straight, including one on the power play, but it wasn’t enough. Amy Reich added a buzzer-beating empty netter for her second goal of the game. Vivek Pinto also scored twice, as did Ben Sumner and Geoff Kozen in his first game as a Squirrel.
