U18s go 4-1 at Last NAPHL Showcase

— Chadders U18 team won 4 games straight after losing the first game. That first game was against a good Green Bay team. Vittorio Cigana(92) scored 40 seconds into the game, but the Jr Gamblers scored 3 in the second to win 4-2. Later on Friday, the team took on Marquette. Dylan Wells(91) led the way stopping 20 out of 20 shots, including a penalty shot late in the game to shutout Marquette, 3-0. Ryan Carroll(92) had 2 assists in the win as well.

On Saturday, Chadders took on a much improved Carolina Jr Canes team. The captain Chase McDonald(91), led the way emotionally and on the score board as he scored two goals and had several key blocked shots. One of those blocked shots turned into a breakaway with just over 2 minutes left. Chase buried a great low shot to secure the win. Cole Klippenstein(92) had a goal and an assist, also.

Sunday saw the U18s squeek by the Florida Hockey Alliance, 2-1 in a shootout. McDonald had the lone regulation goal on the power play. Ryan Carroll was the lone goal scorer in the shootout. Dylan Wells again played a near flawless game as he stopped all 5 Florida shooters and turned away several point blankers in the final minutes. Wells(91) stopped 13 out of 15 shootout attempts in the NAPHL season!

On Presidents Day, the team beat the New Jersey Habs, 5-2. The Habs were filling in for the Phantom Hockey team. They were 3-1 on the weekend coming into the Monday meeting. Doug Newell(92) led the way with 2 golas in the win.Overall for the NAPHL season, Chadders went 14-10-1. For all league stats please visit NAPHL.net or this site under the STATISTICS drop down.
