Riverbank Squirts
are the 2009 Shamrock Shootout Tournament Champions!
March 14-15th
Ice Time Sports Complex
Newburgh, New York
The Riverbank Rangers showed
their skill, training, team play and spirit by winning all four
tournament games in tough competitive matches with hard playing,
equally matched teams.
The gold medal game was a nail biting heart stopper vs. the valiant
and relenteless Poughkeepsie Vikings.
The Rangers and Vikings vied for position and scoring opportunities
throughout the first period with intense hockey action and shots
on both goals. However the Rangers came out ahead and ended the
period by scoring in the last two minutes with a goal off an assist.
The Vikings quickly answered that goal early with a breakaway goal
in the first minute and 13 seconds of the
2nd period to make it even. The two teams then battled relentlessly
again to score but without result and the period ended with the
score tied at 1-1.
In the 3rd period, the Vikings came out strong and scored in the
first 40 seconds. The arena was filled with anticipation with a
1-2 score, hearts were beating fast and heavy. Seven minutes of
intense hockey play followed as teams fought hard to score; defense
see-sawed in one opposing zone and then the other of each team.
Breath stopping shots on goals and close encounters of the goal
kind had the arena crowd on the edge with full throated cheering,
hearty encouragement and arena-side coaching. As time ticked to
the 7th breathless minute, the Rangers scored on a 2 player assisted
goal to tie the game 2-2! The arena was in an uproar!
A desperate effort by both teams was then mounted to break the tie.
The Rangers charged the net time and time again until they scored
with 2:45 on the clock on
a two player assist. The parents erupted into wild cheers, crying
weeping with happiness. But it was not over. With the score now
3-2 the Vikings immediately mounted an offensive
and made every effort to reach the attacking zone and then pulled
the goalie to play six on five to even the score. The battle was
intense and there was no telling what could happen........ But,
the Rangers held off the Viking's strong charge with a tough unrelenting
defense to win the gold! What a fantastic game!!!! What effort the
kids on these two teams made! Bravo!.....
Congratulations
to both teams for playing all out and with great heart for an unforgettable
tournament experience! Hurrah!
Great thanks to Head Coach
Keith Knight and Assistant Coach Al Boland for wisely and happily
guiding the team to victory. Kudos to the parents who supported
the players 110% from beginning to end without having cardiac arrests
during the intense and exciting series of games.......
Thanks to Rory Mushlin and Todd Mancuso at the Ice Time Sports Complex
for inviting us and making our stay a most enjoyable and comfortable
one.....
