Martlets Score Late to Earn Tie Against Simsbury
Ryan Huntley '21 scored with two minutes to go to even the game at one apiece as the Seconds hosted local rival Simsbury at Jackson Rink. Once again, Jack Schroeder '22 made several excellent saves — 18 on the day — to cover some lapses in the squad's defensive zone coverage. He was beaten only once, midway through the second period, when a bad bounce led to a 2-on-1 against that Simsbury converted to take the 0-1 lead. But the Martlets fought hard, improving every shift, and Huntley notched the equalizer with a nifty move in the high slot on a play started by line mate Aidan Petrie '20. Still gelling as a team, the coaches were pleased with the overall work ethic of the squad and with the improving balanced and structured play in all three zones. Down to four defensemen for most of the game, the blue liners Alex Tonioni '22, Ben Michaud '22, Wes Oltsch '20 and Rex Flinn '21 logged major, exhausting minutes against the Trojan phalanx. The Seconds produced 22 shots of their own for the game, many coming in the third period and overtime as the ice tilted in favor of the home side, but the black and gold could not find the back of the net. The team certainly missed the contributions of Peyton Knauf '19, who left midway through the game with shoulder injury — the coaches and team wish him well and a speedy recovery. Looking ahead, the team will have to improve on its offensive production — far too many one-goal games for this coach's gray hair (or what's left of it, anyway). Heading into the winter holiday having played five games in nine days, the Seconds produced a record of 3-0-2 — not too shabby and absolutely a foundation the team can build on when they return in January.
