Springfield Gold Squad opens ice hockey season

The Springfield Cougars Gold squad opened up its play in the Delco Elementary League last Sunday, Nov. 6, at IceWorks in Aston against the Lower Merion Red Bulldogs.
The Cougars came out fighting and jumped out to an early lead, compliments of Ryan Kertis and Adam Baumann and their tough play around the net.
Springfield played a hard-fought game from there out. Lower Merion clawed back time and time again but was never able to figure out newcomer goaltender Brett Barber.
Ryan Kertis (two power-play goals) led the Cougars, along with Aidan Shandley who was in command on both ends of the ice in a 5-3 victory.
The Cougars offensive attack came in barrages from the elusive Austin Bush, Matthew Shandley, Franny Doerr and speedy Riley Garrison.
The story of the game was Barber’s stellar play in net, and he was helped by outstanding defensive efforts by Johnny Carafa, Johnny McCormick and Dylan Bush.
