Springfield Gold Elementary icemen beat Delaware Snipers

Springfield Gold 9, Delaware Snipers 6
The Gold Cougars hit the road on Feb. 27 to take on the Snipers at the University of Delaware and brought home an important win. This followed an exciting win over Ridley earlier in the week.
For one of the few times this season, the Gold crew had all of its players and each had a piece of the win.
The Snipers jumped out to a quick two-goal lead only to see the Cougars battle back to tie. John Paul Ahearn scored two (of his six) goals in a two-minute span.
Ronnie Delfera continues to impress with his play, scoring off a pretty feed from Ahearn and picking up two assists of his own.
Brendan McCloskey played one of his best games thus far and was rewarded for crashing the net when he tied the game early in the second.
The line of Dominic Carbonetta, Johnny Carafa and Ryan O’Connor did a great job frustrating the Snipers with stingy defense and back checking.
As usual, Danny McGill stood tall between the pipes, using his long legs and quick hands to make all the key saves.
Eric Agan opened the third period by setting the table for another goal from Ahearn; Agan has been playing some of his best hockey down the stretch.
Riley Garrison played a solid game on the wing, making some big plays in her own end and had a real nose for he puck.
Connor Rysak and Mikey "Magic" Ahearn played defense in this one and may have played their way into their positions for the remainder of the year, Rysak had an assist on a huge third period goal, and Ahearn broke up plays all night. Thomas Yocum and Jack Spence anchored the defense; their play has gone a long way to the success of the Gold crew.
With the game tied and just two minutes left on the clock, the Cougars had the "Letter Men” on the ice - all six players wear either a "C" or an "A" on their uniform. Thomas Yocum fed a pass to a streaking Steven Griffith who raced ahead of the pack and deked the goalie for a goal that gave the Cougars the lead for good. Griffith, Ahearn, Yocum, Spence,
McCloskey and McGill would see to it that Springfield would skate away with this win.
