SQUIRTS WIN SILVER MEDAL

 IN CAN/AM CHALLENGE AT LAKE PLACID

 
   
 

          On March 16-19, 2006, the Woodbridge Wolfpack Squirt ice hockey team participated in the Can/Am Challenge Cup in Lake Placid, New York.  Woodbridge's opponents in the Calgary Division included the Bristol Blazers from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; the Remark Majors from Guelph, Ontario and the SWS Chiefs from Fall River, Massachusetts.  The Wolfpack opened the competition with a thrilling 3-2 victory over the Blazers on Thursday night in the 1932 Olympic rink.  Michael Campione led the attack with two goals, and his linemates Danny Letso and Austin Pencinger picked up two assists apiece.  Chase Fee also scored in front of stingy defense by Stephen Della Fera and John Bomberry.  The Wolfpack knotted up the Canadians 3-3 on Friday morning in Saranac Lake on a dramatic goal by Matthew Durnya with 37 seconds left to play.  Campione picked up his third goal of the tournament in that match and Evan Samer netted his first to back up brilliant goaltending by Aaron Seguine.  On Saturday morning against the Chiefs, Woodbridge got two more goals from the red hot Campione and one each from Fee and Samer to claw their way back from an early 4-0 deficit to make the game 5-4 to start the third period.  But the Massachusetts squad scored the only goal that period and handed the Pack their first loss.  Later that day, Woodbridge needed at least a tie in their rematch against the Remark Majors to advance to Sunday's gold medal game.  And that is what they got.  Campione netted his sixth goal of the weekend and Durnya and Samer again lit the lamp.  Coupled with the stifling defense of Matthew Ciliberto and Matthew "Botz" Carbotti, that was good enough for another 3-3 tie and a trip back to the 1932 rink for a shot at gold on Sunday.  There, the Wolfpack again met the Blazers, who no doubt were looking to avenge their opening night loss.  Woodbridge gave it all that they had, but Chase Fee's lone goal was not enough to overcome the Philly team, which won 4-1.  After the game, the Wolfpack left the ice with their well-deserved silver medals hanging from their necks and their heads held high.  Coach Brian Samer and his assistant Richard Sheridan were very proud of the team’s performance.  “The boys have come a long way since the start of the season,” Samer noted.  “They played their hearts out and the team already is looking forward to a return trip next year to bring back the gold.”
