Division: Squirt 3

Despite being shorthanded, the Westfield Jr. Bombers crushed FCHA (Franklin County Hockey Association) on their home ice in Greenfield. In goal this chilly morning was Jack Cashman, with 19 saves. Defense was the word today as Bryce Alaconis, J.J. Fox, Garrette Ondrick and Nolan Lafayette were like a pack of wolves, defending the goal and keeping the puck out of Westfield’s territory. In the 1st period, right out of the box, J.J. Fox scored the first two goals in record time, unassisted. Sean Rodgers, also unassisted, would be the one to score the third goal in the 1st period with just 48 seconds to go! In the second period the Jr. Bombers did allow 1 goal by FCHA, Westfield kept up the pressure and was gearing up for the 3rd period. In the 3rd, Jr. Bombers started taking names and shooting pucks! A total of 28 attempts were made on FCHA during the game, with the majority during the 3rd period. Michael Miller, Ryan Rodgers, Ryan DeFalco, Sara McMahon and Case Viamari made several spirited attempts. Reid Imbriglio scored goal number four on FCHA at the 9:22 mark with the assist by Ryan DeFalco; the 5th goal was scored unassisted, by J.J. Fox. J.J. then went on to score the 6th goal on the power play at the 3:31 mark. Bryce Alaconis would be the one to score the final goal of the game, assisted by J.J. Fox, with just 17 seconds left, wow, what a great game! Michael Miller and Bryce Alaconis were awarded the game pucks for the game this morning; everyone brought 110% to the ice today, excellent job!

The first game of the Central Massachusetts Winter Classic Tournament was a nail biter for sure. The team played extremely well together as defense and offenses were on point throughout the entire game.

Fox made the second and final goal unassisted, in the 3rd period. John Lacey, Sean Rodgers, and Bryce Alaconis made numerous attempts on WHK’s goalie. Everyone brought 110% to the ice this morning!

Division: Squirt 3

The second game of the tournament was by far the most exciting game the Jr. Bombers have played thus far! Westfield pulled out all the stops during the 1st period, as defense was the word. Kailyb Santiago and his pack of defensive linemen protected their goalie at every angle. At the 9:07 mark the Sting was awarded a penalty shot, goalie Cashman easily diverted the shot and the Stings were deflated. It was in the 2nd period Westfield took the puck away from the Stings and fired it into their net! Reid Imbriglio would be the one to score the first goal, unassisted. J.J. Fox would then follow, unassisted, with the 2nd and final goal of the game at the 4:22 mark. At the end of the 2nd period the score was 2 and 0. In the 3rd period, the Jr. Bombers allowed 1 goal by the Sting. In the last 3 minutes of the game, the Sting pulled their goalie in an attempt to tie up the game, but the Jr. Bombers kept up the pressure until the very end. Great job everyone!
