WEEKEND: Friday, January 25th - Sunday, January 27th, 2008:
Individual game recaps below.
_____________________________________________________________
FRIDAY, January 25, 2008, 9:15PM vs. Carmel Gold (league)
For the second time in the history of the Brebeuf hockey program (i.e., since the fall of 1989), the team beat Carmel Gold, 3-1. Michael Bosserman had the first goal of the game, well into the first period (@ 4:47). Carmel Gold didn’t give up and got a garbage power-play goal in front of the net at 0:16 in the first. Brebeuf fought back (sometimes literally) with a goal, with assists from Creighton and Robbins, by Worden at 5:27 in the second. Robbins added a short-handed, third insurance goal at 10:13 in the third period, decreasing Carmel’s opportunity to pull their goalie.
Goalie Suzie Nasser played a tremendous game, making big saves when needed and withstanding Carmel’s attempts to take her out of the game. She had 29 saves for the game.
Punches abounded in the game, with one Carmel and one Brebeuf player (Worden) receiving game misconducts for “fisticuffs” and one player from each team (Creighton from Brebeuf) receiving 5 minute majors for roughing. Fortunately, Brebeuf player time in the box did not affect the outcome of the game.

SATURDAY, January 26, 2008, 9:15PM vs. Lawrence (league)
A Lawrence parent was overheard saying that the Lawrence hockey club had never lost on their senior night…until this night!!! The Brebeuf hockey team had come off a hard-won victory the night before, and headed into another! Brebeuf had 4 players on the sidelines due to injuries (Gianaris), illness (Key), absence (Challis), and a game misconduct (Worden). The others stepped up their game, and although they were showing signs of fatigue in the third period, they did not let down and got the job done, beating Lawrence, 4-2.
Lawrence scored on their first power-play opportunity at 12:57 in the first period. Brebeuf fought back with a Grande goal at 2:52 in the first. DeRyckere’s slap shot goal from the point scored in the second (5:08) on across-ice, along the blue lijne pass from Creighton. Lawrence tied it in the second (8:30) on a short-handed break-away. Brebeuf capitalized on their power-play opportunity in the third (8:27). Robbins set up the goal, sending a pass from the right-side point up and across to Grande, waiting just outside the left corner of the net. Grande’s shot was helped into the net by Matt DeRyckere, scoring the winning goal! At 3:10 in the third, Robbins put in that 4th “icing on the cake” goal, that sealed the Brebeuf victory.
It was another game where the Brebeuf players were on the receiving end of several “fisticuffs” situations that were never called. Fortunately, the Brebeuf players only came away with nothing more serious than scrapes and bruises!

The Brebeuf hockey team beat Trinity 3-1, but they had to fight for every goal. Trinity gave the Braves a good game, both teams playing scoreless through the first period. Trinity’s goalie was hot, saving 49 out of 42 shots-on-goal! In the second, Brebeuf scored their 3 goals. Grande scored at 13:12 at even-strength and Michael Bosserman on a power-play at 9:45. The last Brebeuf goal exemplified the teamwork in which this team prides itself. Robbins picked up the puck during a penalty-kill, started the rush up the ice with Michael Bosserman, dished the puck to Bosserman, who scored.
