Summer League Champs!

August 7, 2016. Wags Vs. Crooked Sticks
Both teams had a hard time getting started when both goalies were stopping everything.  The Crooked Sticks finally scored a goal with only 1:25 left in period one.  The great goaltending continued through most of the second period as the Crooked Sticks clung to their 1-0 lead until Thomas "t&a" Ambrosia took a pass from Jack "Idea" Iandoli, fired a shot that was blocked, but he got his rebound and buried it to tie the game with 6:18 left in period two.  That

Angry Pirates are Sedated!

July 14, 2016. Angry Pirates Vs. Wags
The Angry Pirates were really angry at game time when only 5 of skaters showed up.  Wags had 3 lines and offered to give them a few players, but they were too angry to accept.  It only took Son of a Duffer (SOD) Thomas "t&a' Ambrosia 54 seconds to solve the Pirate goalie with a goal set up by Kevin "Smooth as" Glass And Steve Gaul.  The Pirates tied it a minute later.  The game stayed tied for the next 10 minutes until Mike "M&M" Matker was set up by Duffers Tommy Z and Uncle Dan.  Jeff "Speed Racer" Lopatka took a pass from his uncle Dan and made it 4-1 with 33 seconds left

All 4 Duffers had points. 

in period one. Glass Man assisted on the play.  Ten seconds into the 2nd period, t&a scored again with assists from Tommy Z and the Gaul Man.  Two minutes later, t&a returned the favor and set up Gaul to give Wags 4 unanswered goals and a 5-1 lead.  The Pirates finally managed to get one past Ed "The Wall" Waghorne to stop the bleeding with 11:16 left in period 2.  A late arriving Pirate gave the Angry Pirates a 6th attacker, but M&M  killed the euphoria with an unassisted goal at 10:05.  Tommy Z added a shorthanded goal when he redirected a blast from Speed Racer into the goalie's pads then poked in the rebound to make it 7-2.  The Pirates managed to score a goal to end the scoring in the second period.  Jack Iandoli made it 8-3 early in the 3rd with an unassisted goal.  Tomas "t&a" Ambrosia ended the scoring with his Hat Trick goal in the closing minutes that was assisted by the M&M Man.
Ed "The Wall" Waghorne picked up the  9-3 win with 17 saves.  The Pirate goalie made 30 saves.
