Clarence Mustangs Hockey

The Clarence Mustangs Squirt Major hockey team won the Rochester Redwings Round Robin Tournament, held September 8^th & 9^th, with a 3-0 win over Tonawanda in the Championship Game.

The Mustangs went undefeated over the weekend with a convincing win over the host Rochester Redwings 3-0 in game one.   The line of Dominic Perna, Kevin Rechlin and Andrew Kempton accounted for 2 goals and 4 assists.  Mike McMahon netted the third Mustang goal.  With very strong defensive support from Jack Attea, CJ Carle, Ian Fitzgerald and Dylan Tomasulo, Chris Harvey was able to record the shutout.

In a very pivotal game against a strong Monroe County team the Mustangs found themselves down 5-1 midway though the second, but the never say die Mustangs stampeded back with 4 unanswered goals to end the second period tied at 5.  Eric Grupp deposited a backhand shot in the top of the net off a pass from Matthew Santora to start the comeback.  The Mustangs scored once in the third and held off Monroe for the 6-5 win.  The line of Harrison Oates, Mike McMahon and Bryce Kuhn accounted for 5 of the 6 Mustang goals, two while shorthanded. 

In a total team effort the Mustangs went on to win their second tournament this year beating a very tough Tonawanda team.  Chris Harvey pitched his second shutout of the tournament while Erich Thur and Griffen LoVullo applied the pressure.  Harrison Oates and Andrew Kempton scored while the defense played another very strong game.
