Friday: Parents Night Out was a HUGE success!! We saw a lot of new faces along with old faces who enjoyed a relaxing evening. A special thanks goes out to the Bruins, Cam Neely, and our other individual and corporate sponsors for their Silent Auction donations
Saturday: In-house featured some very competitive games. One game saw Coach Reihl Mahoney's Bruins team come back from a 3 goal deficit in the 3rd period to tie the mighty Penguins coached by Tom Bryant (who missed his lovely wife Lisa this weekend).
The LHS Girls team continues their winning ways with a 3-0 victory over Watertown to remain undefeated at 12-0.
Sunday: LBYH held it 2nd annual "travel practice" for non-travel In-House and Clinic players. Over 50 players showed up to have some fun learning the game and consume a record 20 Pizzas at the Harris Family Snack Bar. Special thanks to Pat Hunt and his gang for running the players through some drills.
The “travel practice” was followed by two very exciting travel hockey games before a capacity crowd at Hayden. The LBYH Mite 2's led by Coaches Joe Palomba and Mark Stuzynski thrilled the crowd after trailing 4-2 late in the 3rd period and pulling some outstanding coaching maneuvers came back to tie Reading U-10's Girls 4-4. And the LBYH Peewee 3 team lead by LBYH Coach of the Year Candidate Mike Sainato and his trustworthy staff of Boyd and Parenti beat Reading behind a team effort led by Lindley and Harris.
Then to cap it off, the LBYH Mini One-on-One contest took center stage! A special thanks to Jerry Palowski and model Coach Khozozian for pulling this event off in fashionable style. And to Dave Robinson and Trevor Gordon who kept things on the up and up while Hank Manz provided the audio. The winners will move on to District 9 Mini One on One in Waltham on March 10th. Details to follow.
That evening we watched the LHS JV Boys team play an entertaining game vs. Burlington. Although Lexington ended up on the short end of a 7-4 score the more important thing is that the LBYH community came out if full support for the Chip Guthrie 50/50 Fundraiser.
Monday February 1, 2010, the weekend continues as we have LBYH night at Waltham's Veterans rink with three District 9 play down games and state tournament berths on the line. At 6:10 LBYH's Bantam 3's coached by Larry Charlton, Tom Judge and Reihl Mahoney face off against Burlington with the winner going to States in March. Followed by PeeWee2's coached by Chuck Norris, former Spy Ponder Tom Bryant and Tim (I still want a chance to score on Curt Everett guy) Kelley vs. Chelmsford at 7:20 for District 9 Championship. And at 8:30 LBYH's Peewee 1's coached by Leo McGonagle and his assistants Coaches Flynn and Pare take on Billerica for the District 9 Championship.
See you around the rink.
