Souderton 6 C.B. West 1

HATFIELD TOWNSHIP— Souderton found out a lot about itself Thursday night. Coming off an emotional last-second loss 24 hours earlier, the Big Red responded with a solid effort in a 6-1 SHSHL National win over Central Bucks West at Hatfield Ice Arena.

It was Souderton’s first win in four tries while the Bucks dropped to 1-2. The result will not factor into the divisional standings as the two teams are scheduled to play again on January 25th.

But that mattered little to Souderton coach Ryan Uchniat, whose team came into the game thirsting for a win.

“I think they showed a lot of resiliency, he said. “They showed a lot of resiliency last night coming back in the third period.

“This team has a real positive attitude, they’ve a little bit of a giddy up. It’s fun to see, it’s fun to be a part of as well.”

Souderton’s top line had a big night. Nick Smith delivered a three-goal hat trick. Seth Grossman scored two goals and assisted on three others while Maxwell Ryon provided a goal and an assist.

Smith noted the win was especially satisfying after 4-3 loss to Council Rock North on Wednesday that saw the Big Red surrender the winning goal with 2.4 seconds remaining in regulation.

“It felt good,” he said. “After a tough loss like that with two seconds left, it felt good to finally win.”

Smith made his presence felt early on, scoring twice to put his team up 2-0 just 7:45 into the opening period.

The Bucks got closer when Adam Ricci won a goal-mouth scramble to put the puck behind Big Red netminder Noah Connor during a power play at the 8:21 mark of the second period.

But Souderton put its resiliency on display when Ryon answered back at 10:26 before Smith completed his hat trick with exactly four minutes left in the period.

Grossman scored his two goals in the third frame.

The Big Red enjoyed a 42-21 advantage in shots. West goalkeeper Liam Rogers did some quality work between the pipes to keep his team in the game for most of the way.

Smith spoke to the speed and skill of the Big Red’s number-one line.”I think that’s our strong point,” he said. “The first line has a lot of skill.”

Smith believes that Thursday’s performance is a sign of things to come. Souderton has scored nine goals in its last two games after scoring just three in its first two games combined.

“I think we can win some games finally,” Smith said. “We’re starting to finally score and not scoring one goal a game. I think we can finally capitalize on some opportunities.”

Pennridge 6 C.B. South 5

HATFIELD—A lot went on at Hatfield Ice Thursday night. Much of it in the realm of the unexpected.

Pennridge rallied from deficits of 3-0 and 5-1 to post a 6-5 overtime win over Central Bucks South in a Suburban High School Hockey League National Division non-league matchup.

Kevin Pico delivered the game winner for the Rams 34 seconds into overtime after the last period was shortened to nine minutes from the usual 17 after a combination of 10 goals and an abundance of penalties consumed the bulk of the allocated ice slot.

Six different players scored for the Rams (1-1). Andrew Savona, Dane Fichte, James Rush, Shane Dachowski, and Josh Kelly found the back of the net before Kevin Pico pocketed the game winner. South netminder Dom Varacallo stopped Savona’s initial shot before Pico put in the rebound.

“We needed something to wake us up,” said Pennridge coach Jeff Montagna, who team squared its record at 1-1. “We needed to find that edge that we’ve been lacking in practice. Early in this season, we haven’t had it. And, I think getting down tonight against a rival with as much emotion as there was going in here, woke us up.”

The Titans (1-1) jumped to a 3-0 lead before the first period was seven minutes old. Aydin Thierolf scored twice with a goal from D.J. Lindenmuth in between.

Colin Mendham and Michael Nemec added goals to give South a 5-1 lead 5:46 into the second frame.

Dane Fitchett drew the Rams a bit closer with 5:55 left in the period. Pico had a chance to bring his team closer when the Rams were awarded a penalty shot with 15.8 seconds left in the second period but was denied by Varacallo.

Both teams saw there efforts hampered by repeated trips to the penalty box. The officials whistled a total of 19 infractions, 12 of them to the Titans.

The number of stoppages and altercations resulted in the final period being shortened to nine minutes at the direction of rink management. Faced with a three-goal deficit, the Rams wasted no time.

Rush made it a 5-3 game 1:20 into the final session. Dachowski followed at 5:54 and Kelly tied the game at 6:58.

The five-minute, three-on-three overtime was allowed to go forward and it took Pico and Savona just moments to end matters.

“Our guys let off the gas,” said South coach Shaun McGinty, “and they’re a good team. A good team is going to find a way to win. We allowed them a little bit of momentum and momentum is a big part of the game in a team sport.”

Ice chips—The decision to shorten the the third period was part of a joint effort between the SHSHL and area rinks to complete scheduled games within their allocated 90-minute ice slots. The C.B. South-Pennridge contest was followed by a game between North Penn and Central Bucks West which was succeeded by an adult league game.

SHSHL History: Can You Help?

A query from SHSHL President Kenny Haas

Hopefully most of you saw our Varsity Championship trophy during the playoffs. It lists all the past champions since the formation of our league. However, we are missing a few years.

I am asking for a favor that will require some work. Please dig into your Club archives, check past trophies, articles, banquet programs, call past Presidents and coaches. We need to determine the Playoff Champion for the following dates. We will only place a team’s name on the trophy if the championship can be confirmed by a trophy, news article, program, etc.

2006-2007

Varsity A division from 2003-2004 back to 1973-1974 (I don’t think we had a VarA division much before this)

1995-1996 both AA & A

Anyone with information should contact Kenny Haas or contact us here at Hockey Happenings. Thank you for helping us to document the history of the SHSHL.

Siegmund Leading Falcons Into Flyers Cup

Shane Siegmund is entering the final phase of his scholastic hockey career. The Pennsbury senior will take the ice with his teammates on Tuesday in the first round of the Class AA Flyers Cup Tournament. The fourth-seeded Falcons will take on 13^th-seeded Owen J. Roberts in a 6 p.m. game at Hatfield Ice.

Siegmund has had an impressive senior season, scoring 18 goals and adding 24 assists for 42 points, a total that ranked him second in scoring in the SHSHL’s National Division.

Most importantly, he wears the captain’s C. As the reader is aware, the captain of a hockey team fills a unique position in terms of leadership and setting the tone they want their teammates to emulate.

This is Siegmund’s second year in the captain’s role and his fourth in the Falcons’ varsity lineup. “I was selected by my coaches my junior year,” he said. “I was given the (assistant captain’s position) my sophomore year. And I just think that kind of led up to it, and my leadership, trying to push my teammates and it gave the coaches I guess a clear choice for captain.”

Siegmund focuses on communicating to his teammates and setting a tone via his own play on the ice.

“I try to do a little bit of everything,” he said. “I try to lead by example. I love to push my teammates and keep them going in the game. But just getting behind everyone, helping everyone out when they’re at their worst point in the game is what I love best. You’re just picking the team up and really getting them into a rhythm is what I like to say.”

Siegmund made it a point to learn from the captains who preceded him, Jake Sieger in his freshman season and Ben Dous the following year.

I’ve always been a big teammate person,” he said. “I’ve always loved hanging out with my teammates and all that, but I definitely looked up to the previous captains that had been my captains. They have helped me so much and I just love to pass that on.”

Siegmund takes pride in his ability to relate to his teammates whether they’re veterans, newcomers, or in between.

“I try and speak to everyone the same,” he said. “I have the same respect for everyone on the team and as long as we can communicate and get to the final destination, that’s what I’m happy about.”

Combing Through History

The SHSHL is working to complete its list of all-time league champions. The list is about 95 percent complete but there are still some holes.

Here is what we’re looking for.

Overall champion: 1995-96 it is possible no champion was crowned that year.

Class AA champion: 2006-07

Class A champion: 2002-03

2003-04

We need documentation that a team won a championship in a particular season. Documentation can be provided through newspaper accounts, photos, and/or videos.
