Carolina Hockey Day - Play For free
by steve henley posted 03/12/2010
 

Come Play Hockey For Free

 

The Carolina Amateur Hockey Association joined with OneGoal, USA Hockey, Carolina Hurricanes and RYHA to create an opportunity on March 13, 2010, for families to come to a local rink and Try Hockey for Free! This free trial has been created specifically for children ages 4-9 years old who are interested in trying hockey for the first time. 

There is no better way to generate a life-long hockey player than to simply put a kid on skates with a stick. A free trial provides the perfect opportunity to demonstrate that hockey is affordable, unique and convenient. Hockey is a blend of fun and exercise that can’t be beat!

While we encourage those who have access to a set of equipment to bring it, equipment is not necessary to participate.  For those who don’t have equipment, we ask for you to bring the following: 

  • Helmet
  • A pair of gloves (they don’t need to be hockey gloves – mittens are fine)
  • A parent (to complete the registration form)
  • Skates (if possible – see the list below for rinks that can provide rentals)
  • A Smile

CHL 16A Championship
by posted 03/10/2010
 

CHL U16A Championship

The U16 Storm Black team crowned the CHL playoff weekend with a high energy and a gritty 4-3 win in double OT to clinch the Championship title. Storm Black entered the CHL playoffs with a 27-7-3 record as the second seed of the U16 bracket behind the Greensboro Stars. They had an edgy start to the playoff tournament against Storm Red with a 3-3 tie, easily topped Columbia 15-0, and took Greensboro down with an authoritative defeat of 6-2.


The final game was a rematch against the cross town rival Storm Red where neither team planned to leave without victory!  While many eyes were watching the Team USA vs Team CANADA Olympic game on television, there was a game with comparable rivalry being played at the Factory.  The U16A CHL Championship game between the Storm Black and Storm Red teams faced off at 3:15PM.  From the moment the puck first dropped, both teams played with grit and determination. Each shift seemed calculated and fast paced.  At the end of the first period the score remained 0-0. Period 2 displayed similar hard and spirited shifts by both teams, ending in a 0-0 score again.  A goal from Bryce Readmond, assisted by Steven Dalgetty of Storm Black came early in the third period but was quickly answered by Brandon Stanley and assisted by Jeffrey Warren of Storm Red.  Two more goals from Storm Red’s Ryan Lenzmeier and Caymen Sans, assisted by Greg Resch, Jeffrey Warren, and Brandon Stanley made hopes for a win seem out of reach for Storm Black.

With only 1:15 left in regulation and down two goals, Storm Black called a time out.  Laying it all on the line, Storm Black pulled their goalie and 6 skaters lined up on the left circle of the Storm Red goalie—two quick face offs were stopped in the crease.  The third face off was won by Storm Black and a quick wrist shot by Alex Kaminski and tipped by Billy Kuriger found the back of the net with 30 seconds remaining in the 3rd period.  The score closed to 3-2 with a face off back at center ice; the Storm Black goalie raced to the bench to put the 6th skater back out. With another face off in the offensive zone Storm Black’s Alex Kaminski managed to find the net from just outside the crease to tie the game with only 12 seconds remaining.  A stunned Storm Red lingered around the goal as Storm Black celebrated. A final face off resulted in a 3-3 tie at the end of regulation.

With only a 5 minute rest, Storm Black and Storm Red began a 10-minute overtime period—filled with shots, turnovers and hits—snow built up on the ice as the players began to tire and fans became more anxious.  Period 4 displayed a lot of hard work, no penalties and no points on the board despite the excitement when the puck hit the net just after time expired.  In accordance with CHL rules there was an ice cut before second 10-minute sudden death overtime period.

By the start of the second overtime period, the stands were overflowing with interested spectators. The next scheduled game was between two high school teams that had friends from both teams and the rink was becoming quite a venue for 16 year olds hockey.  The puck dropped and the first 35 seconds was full of puck movement and limited scoring opportunities for both team.  A line change and a face off, resulted in a Storm Black possession back at the point; two passes, a turnover, and a final pick that put the puck back on the stick of Chris Adamson who took a hard shot from the inside hash marks and snuck  inside the goal post.  The clock read 9:05 as Storm Black celebrated a hard fought comeback 4-3 win over Storm Red.

Moments later, both teams lined up for the ceremonial hand shake; while the typical minimal touch and eye contact did not take place.  These two teams displayed genuine sportsmanship exchanging real handshakes, smiles and sincere statements, and a few hugs as well.  This display is what we all as parents, players, coaches, officials, and organizations should strive for in rivalry teams.  Everyone involved should be proud of this display of respect and gamesmanship that took place in front of us all. Well done!

Jr. Canes U16AA Heading To Nationals
by posted 03/09/2010
 

Congratulations to the Nationals bound U16AA team. The boys went into this weekend facing two must win games against a tough Charlotte opponent. In game one Andrew Williams, in his first game back from a broken hand, scored a goal in the first period and again in the second period as the teams traded goals going into the third period tied at 2. In the third period Alex Aud scored two goals and Colin Reilly added another as the Hurricanes skated away with a 5-2 victory. Sunday morning before taking the ice, the team was reminded of the goal they set six months prior, playing for a National Championship. Both teams took the ice knowing the winner would advance. Charlotte got on the board twice before Collin Duffy fed Rob Sprankle with just under 8 minutes left in the second and the Canes cut the lead in half. Alex Aud added his third goal of the weekend one minute and twenty seconds later to tie the game at two going into the third. In the third Andrew Williams also netted his third of the weekend to put the Canes up 3-2, but the Charlotte team tied it up again about two minutes later. With 8 minutes and 36 seconds left in the third, Chase Harris put the Hurricanes ahead 4-3 and the boys were determined to keep their lead. The game was not going to end without some drama; with 4:07 left in the game, the Hurricanes had to kill off a 5 on 3 and 5 on 4 situation, and that's exactly what they did along with some great goaltending by Austin Essery. On the bench the team counted down the final seconds, and at the buzzer the old season ended and a new one began. Good Luck in West Chester Pa.

Squirt Team #5 Wins Canes Cup
by posted 03/07/2010
 

It was a great game between the fourth seeded Cane-9's & the second seeded Garner Bruins for the Canes Cup Championship.  The Cane-9's struck first on a sweet goal by Schwenderman.  The Bruins did not answer until the second, but they answered with a roar as Brendan Wright quickly put away a hat trick.  The Cane-9's came back with a goal in the third by Yoon to pull within 2 but a nice rebound pickup by Jacob Coats off Ian Donselaar's shot pulled the Bruins ahead for good.  Trey Gering added another a couple minutes later to wrap it up.  Awesome Dawson Savchenko guarded the pipes for the Bruins with 19 saves & Jared Reincke made a strong showing in net for the Cane-9's with 27 saves.  Both teams played well & the sportsmanship by the players & coaches was fantastic.  Great season Garner Bruins & congratulations on being the 2009-2010 Squirt Canes Cup Champions!

Storm Bantam A RED Topped the CHL
by posted 03/03/2010
 

The Storm Bantam A Red Squad topped the CHL playoff weekend with a dramatic come from behind 2-1 OT win to clinch the Championship. Storm Red came into the playoffs as the top seed after completing an undefeated regular season. They had a solid start to the playoff tournament topping Columbia 6-1, and Wilmington 7-0. The next up was the second seeded Greensboro Stars who proved to be a tough opponent; Storm Red persevered with a late goal to win 3-2.

The final opponent was the cross town rival Storm White. The game was tight checked and well played to a 0-0 score, until Storm White scored a 5 ON 3 Powerplay 5 minutes into the third period. Storm Red played the following 10 minutes of hockey tenasiously and found the back of the net with time winding down to force OT. Evan Henry capped the comeback with his second of the afternoon to claim the CHL Playoff Title.

The Storm Red had a solid team all year long. Solid goaltending, a stingy defense and balanced scoring were the team’s trademarks.
