Senior Night on the Ice

The Brooklyn hockey team took on the Brush Arcs last Thursday evening.  Unfortunately, the team was not able to come out victorious suffering a 12-2 defeat; however, this night was still memorable for the seniors. 

Daniel Ileana, Jed Williamson, Nick Finn, Alan Fernandez, and Jacob Peña were all honored at the start of the game.

During the first period, the Arcs started off on fire and scored five goals to put the Hurricanes into a deep hole.

Down big, the Hurricanes did not quit and began to heat up during the second period when senior Daniel Ileana scored the first goal of the game, as well as his first goal of the season.  Shortly after, sophomore Colin Pope was able to slap the puck into the back of the net for the second (and last) goal of the game. This was also his first goal of the season. The second period was relatively-even, and the Canes showed poise and promise.

Above, seniors Jacob Peña and Alan Fernandez were so overly-jacked up with emotion that they ended up in the penalty box.

Due to the deficit after two periods, a running clock was implemented for the third period, and the Arcs scored three more times to finish the game as 12-2 victors.

Even in defeat, the seniors have had stellar careers, and the Hurricane family would like to thank them for their hard work, dedication, and perseverance this season and throughout their high school careers.  You truly make the Blue and Gold community proud.

The Hurricane hockey team’s regular season is over, but the team will begin tournament play in the Baron Cup this Thursday (February 4) at the Brooklyn Recreation Center against the Westlake Demons. 

Go Canes!
