Trinity Puck Jumps to Fast Start en Route to Pittsburgh

By: Matt McCoy

The hockey season has officially started for the Holy Trinity Titans senior boys! It is evident early on that the Titans are on a mission, proving that last year's finals appearance was not a fluke. With dominant victories against Blakelock and Garth Webb, the Titans have demonstrated early on the expectations of senior hockey at Holy Trinity.

On Tuesday evening, the senior hockey boys kicked off their season at home against Blakelock. The boys went ahead early and never looked back with a 4-0 victory including an empty netter to seal the victory. The win was led by a great performance by the first line of Ferrari, Ferrano and Seaver, scoring three of the four goals. First year forward Montague notched the other to help the Titans start the season strong. On the back-end, goalie Michael Gironda had a great shutout performance giving the team confidence for future games.

Just one day later, the team was at it again against Garth Webb. After going down by a goal early on, the Titans came back with eight unanswered goals from players on all lines. Troy Peterson was the victim of a questionable call early on, causing him to get kicked out of the game and thus leaving the bench short a player for the rest of the game. The Titans pulled together as a team and adjusted to the unfortunate circumstances proving the power of a full team effort. The victory against Garth Webb improves the Titans’ record to 2-0, putting them on top of the league.

It is still early, but the senior hockey boys are looking to have another great season. With only five returning players, the team is still developing their knowledge of one another. The team is looking forward to their tournament in Pittsburgh this weekend, giving them a chance to prove themselves on a larger scale. This tournament gives the team an opportunity to bond as a unit and develop the much-needed player chemistry that drives any successful team. We hope the Titan boys will continue their early success to after the Christmas holidays and the rest of the season.

GO TITANS!
