Flyers Cup Class A First Round: Unionville 12 Lower Moreland 4

By Rick Woelfel

The numbers didn’t add up for Lower Moreland Monday night. With just eight skaters in uniform, the Lions ran out of gas against Unionville in the opening round of the Class A Flyers Cup. The result was a 12-4 loss at Revolution Ice Gardens.

Seventh-seeded Lower Moreland (12-4-3) trailed just 4-2 early in the second period but were outscored by the 10^th-seeded Indians (8-11 with one loss in OT) the rest of the way.

Junior Jake Petrillo scored four goals and added two assists for Unionville which will face either Strath Haven or Hatboro-Horsham in Thursday’s quarterfinals (7:30 at Ice Works in Aston). Dylan Blackburn scored three times

Coleman Peppelman scored three times for Lower Moreland in his final high-school game and added an assist.

“Don’t take anything away from (Unionville) said Lower Moreland coach Gus Salfiti. “They’re skilled through all their lines. They didn’t have really any weak skaters and with them resting up and coming out every minute, minute-and-a-half, actually, it was probably shorter than that, they just wore us out. There is absolutely nothing you can do about that,”

The Indians also got an excellent effort in goal from Keigan Craig, who stopped 31 of 35 Lower Moreland shots.

“He started off the season I would say just a mediocre or average goalie,” said Unionville coach Stephen King. “But probably since Game Four he’s been really steady … He’s been giving us a good job every night.”

Consecutive goals from Steven Cicchino, Petrillo, and Dylan Blackburn snapped a 1-1 tie and put the Indians three goals up with 5:51 left in the first period.

Adam Bostock scored for the Lions 3:48 into the second frame to make it a 4-2 game but Unionville responded with three goals in 90-second span to take a 7-2 lead with 7:50 left in the period to break the game open.

Peppelman scored his second goal of the game with 4:47 left in the second session and completed his hat trick with 3:58 left in the game to finish his final high-school season with 50 goals.

“We were struggling,” Peppelman said. “We were missing one player (defenseman Devin Green) and were all so tired. That team, I don’t think they had a weak spot at all.”

Notes: Unionville won a Class AA Flyers Cup title in 1998.

Lower Moreland 14, Upper Dublin 2

HATFIELD TOWNSHIP—They may be few in numbers, but the Lower Moreland Lions Lower Moreland are making an impact in the Suburban High School Hockey League’s American Division. The Lions have just 12 players on their roster and had just seven skaters in uniform Monday night but their offense was as potent as ever in a 14-2, two- period win over Upper Dublin at Hatfield Ice.

Coleman Peppelman and Vincenzo DeMaio scored four goals each to lead the way for Lower Moreland, which moved into first place in the division with a 4-1-3 divisional mark (6-1-3 overall). The Lions, despite their lack of numbers, are unbeaten in their last eight games and are averaging nine goals a game.

The result was determined within moments of the opening puck drop. Much of the opening period was played in the Flying Cardinals’ defensive zone.

Lower Moreland scored 12 goals in the opening frame. Upper Dublin (3-7, 0-7 in league play) was outgunned but Flying Cardinal netminder Liam Nixon did some good work between the pipes, making 25 saves in the opening period. He added five more in the second frame.

The Flying Cardinals got on the scoreboard when Ari Nordlinger found the back of the net 71 seconds into the second session and the teams traded goals until the contest was halted at the period’s conclusion via the 10-goal mercy rule.

The Lions backed off the throttle in the second frame but Peppleman noted that having a sizable lead allowed he and his teammates to work on some of the game’s finer points. “We try to build up our defense,” he said, “from giving up a lot of goals and offensively I think we’re pretty solid.”

Peppelman, one of just two seniors in the lineup on Wednesday, stressed the importance of staying focused in a one-sided game to avoid developing bad habits.

“That’s when you try to get the kids who don’t get the puck as much, get it to them,” he said, “and have them build up from there, just set them up and get them ready for the next game.”

Lower Moreland coach Gus Salfitti was focused on puck possession. “We have about four or five guys that can protect the puck,” he said. “They keep possession. Their passes are nice and crisp and they’re to a target …They use a big chunk of the ice.”

In addition to Peppelmans’s and DeMaio’s four-goal efforts, Adam Bostock scored twice while collecting an incredible seven assists for a nine-point night. Peppelman added three assists to finish with seven points while DeMaio’s two assists gave him six points on the evening.
