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.”

Winning goaltender Ryan Caterino made 28 saves

Hun School 1 0 2 0—3

Donations can be made directly to the American Cancer Society at: https://raiseyourway.donordrive.com/Northpennhockey

This is a great opportunity for North Penn to give back to the community.  Hockey Fights Cancer is an initiative aimed at raising awareness and funds for cancer research and support of those affected by cancer.   North Penn looks to make this an annual event. 

“As an organization, we always strive to be one of the premier high school ice hockey programs, not only with our performance on the ice but some of the things we do within the community,” said North Penn head coach Kevin Vaitis. “So far this year, we have support our local veterans, we have organized a leaf pick up for some of the elderly in our community, and next week 12/15 we are delivering toys to those less fortunate at the North Penn Valley Boys and Girls Club. We are excited in January for these Cancer Awareness Games.”

Assistant Coach and Treasurer Frank Stumpo adds “I have been involved with North Penn Ice Hockey for over 25 years from my kids playing to now serving as a coach and a volunteer within the organization. We always look to teach these players some life lessons that are more important than the game of hockey at times. Cancer has most likely impacted all of us at some point in our life and I hope that we are able to raise some money for research and awareness through this game on January 7th.”

North Penn 8 C.B. South 1

Special teams made a huge difference for North Penn Wednesday night. The Knights scored two shorthanded goals not quite three minutes apart in the second period, and added a power-play three-and-a-half minutes after that to break open a tight game and go on to an 8-1 win over Central Bucks South in the annual County Line Cup encounter at Hatfield Ice.

The win kept the reigning Class AA Flyers Cup and state champions unbeaten at 6-0 and 5-0 in SHSHL National.

Ironically, the Knights had to play from behind; it was the Titans (4-3, 3-2 in conference) who scored the first goal of the evening. Owen Frey beat Aidan Quigley in the North Penn net 6:20 into the first frame

Declan Leahy responded for the Knights with 24.7 seconds left in the opening period, a period that saw North Penn build a 14-6 edge in shots.

The flow of play was interrupted by five minor penalties. The Knights’ Sam Norton drew concurrent penalties for cross checking and unsportsmanlike conduct, a circumstance that saw the Titans with a three-and-a-half-minute power play. South failed to capitalize however, an inkling of what was to come.

The Knights drew their fifth penalty of the game when James Boyle was sent off for cross checking 7:04 into the middle period. But his teammates did not sit back.

Chris Silvotti’s shorthanded goal put North Penn in front for the first time with 9:01 left in the period and Norton, once having escaped from the penalty box, added another shorthanded goal with 6:05 remaining. It became a 4-1 game when Daniel Cabrales scored a power-play goal with 2:37 left and Norton added an even-strength goal before the period ended.

“Special teams is always a big factor in these games,” Norton said. “When there are a lot of {penalties} you’ve got to score goals on the power play and not let goals in on the penalty kill.”

On this occasion, the Knights were particularly dangerous while shorthanded and still played up-tempo hockey.

“Sometimes those stretch play work,” Norton said.

Boyle, Leahy, and Tyler Evans all scored for North Penn in the third period, leaving South coach Josh Sklar to wonder what became of his team’s early momentum.

“The first 10 minutes of the game our foot was on the gas,” he said. “We had the momentum we took it off, they took it, and we never got it back.”

Norton led the barrage for North Penn with two goals and two assists. Ismael Cabrales also had a four-point night with a goal and three assists. Boyle finished with a goal and two assists. He notes that team chemistry has been a big factor in North Penn’s success on this night, and over the past two seasons.

“We have lots of chemistry,” going on,” he said. “We know exactly what we want to do when we go out there.

“It’s huge to be able to get momentum off the kill and on the power play. I think overall, the chemistry helps us.”
