C.B. East 3 Pennsbury 3


Pennsbury was 54 seconds from a loss to Central Bucks East, when Shane Gleisner put the puck in the cage.

Gleisner’s goal, assisted by Frankie DeLucia and Shane Hicks, tied the game at 3-3 and forced overtime on Tuesday night at Grundy Ice Arena. The tie ended up standing, but the Falcons felt like winners. 

“It was really a relief to see that goal go in,” Pennsbury’s Frankie DeLucia said. “We were getting tons of shots and seeing that one go in was very satisfying.”

Pennsbury (5-3-1 in SHSHL National)) never led the entire game.  

The Patriots (4-5-1) got on the board first when Alex Wilson found the net with assists from Evan Asimakopoulos and Braedon Hahn. 

They extended that lead to 2-0 on a goal by Colton Dreyfus from Joseph Rhett Walter and Cole Kleindienst. 

Pennsbury finally got in on the scoring when Gleisner put one in on a power play (from DeLucia and Jacob Sarver) but the Patriots came right back with an unassisted goal by Benjamin Dempsey to make it 3-1. 

Undaunted, the Falcons closed the gap with a Hicks goal (from Gavin Schlotter and Gleisner). 

Just when it looked like the Patriots would seal the win, Gleisner just caught the top of the net (from DeLucia and Hicks). 

“I would never not have faith in this team,” DeLucia said. “As a senior I’ve seen a bunch of teams come through here and this team has no quit. Out of the four years this team has the least quit of any team I’ve ever been on. We never feel we’re out of any game and we’re going to fight no matter what’s on the scoreboard.”

It’s the fourth consecutive win for Pennsbury. 

“We’ve been successful in the past few games,” DeLucia said. “It was tough to come back from the (holiday) break and play a good team like CB East, but after the first period I thought we shook the rust off and got back to our normal game. It ended up being a great comeback.” 

The Patriots didn’t help themselves with penalties. They had seven and two were costly, as Gleisner’s first goal came when Pennsbury was on a  two-man power play.

“That was a bad time to have them,” Asimakopoulos said. “But for the most part we did a good job of penalty killing.   

CB East was coming off back-to-back losses to Pennsbury (8-4) and Council Rock South (6-4).

“I was kind of defensively minded coming into this game,” said Asimakopoulos, a senior forward. “I really wanted to lock down Shane (Gleisner) and I thought we did a pretty good job of that.

“When they scored with so little time left, Shane was supposed to be my guy defensively and I failed at that, so that’s on me. 

“We’re going to grow as a team and get better. We’re a young team but I thought we did good things. I thought we were all-round good. Defensively, in front of the net we picked up where we failed last time.”

Malvern Prep 4 Hun School 3 OT

WEST GOSHEN TOWNSHIP—The drama ended amidst a frenzied atmosphere. House Young’s goal with 1:32 remaining in what turned into five-on-four overtime gave Malvern Prep a 5-4 win over The Hun School Wednesday afternoon at Ice Line.

Young’s shot was a blast from the right point that caught part of the left post on its way to the back of the net, passing Hun School goaltender Chase Kishler en route. Pax Hoishik set up the goal with a cross-ice pass.

“We had a time out {prior to the final sequence} and we talked about it,” Young said. “My friend Pax set me up. We work on it all the time in practice.”

The win lifted the Friars to 4-3-1 overall and 2-2 in the APAC.

Young called the win huge.

“It sends us {into the holiday break} on a good note,” he said. “And that’s what we need to go into the APAC playoffs and the Flyers Cup.”

The final stages of the Atlantic Prep Athletic Conference affair were anything but routine. Hun School (3-3, 1-1 in the APAC) rallied to tie the game at 3-3 with 4:16 left in regulation after Zachary Valle and Youhe Tong scored goals 66 seconds apart.

But the Raiders, who took four penalties in the third period, carried that habit into overtime.

Hun School started the session with a four-skaters-to-three advantage after the Friars’ Logan Love was whistled for his fourth penalty of the game with 15 seconds left in regulation.  But the advantage evaporated when Jacob Kelly-LePage was called for tripping 1:21 into the extra period, and when Andrew Darst was flagged for a trip at the 2:42 mark the Raiders found themselves shorthanded, leaving the door open for Young’s game winner.

“It was good to battle back in the third period,” said Hun School coach Nathaniel Welsh, “They gave up two breakaways; we scored on two breakaways, which is what we had to do. Then we went into overtime up by a guy and didn’t capitalize and went down by two guys.”

Vallee gave the Raiders an early lead 1:03 into the opening period. Jake Weingartner answered for Malvern Prep at 2:57.

Weingartner and Lyndon MacClay scored goals 72 seconds apart to put Malvern Prep up 3-1 with 14:44 left in the middle period. At that point, Welsh used his timeout and Kishler took over in the Raider net, replacing starter Blake Echternacht.  Kishler was impregnable through the balance of regulation and into overtime.

Hun School rallied when Vallee scored his second goal of the afternoon with 5:50 left in regulation. Tong picked off an errant pass in the neutral zone for his game tying goal with 4:44 remaining to set up a finish that will be long remembered.

Weingartner said Hun School’s physical style combined with its speed made it a difficult foe to deal with.

“I think Hun School’s physicality is what made their team good today,” he said. “I think we outplayed them, but I think they were a physical team and think they used that to their advantage today.”
