HCS' Brink Hockey All Star; 5 Other Knights Mentioned

Alex Brink, the HCS hockey team's leading scorer has been named to the Section III, Division II all-star team, as chosen by the coaches. In addition, five other Emerald Knights received honorable mentions.

Brinkwas also nominated to the All State Team and was runner up to Player of the Year.

"This was Alex's rookie year in high school hockey since he didn't play last year," said Coach Murray Decock. "He was the team's leading scorer with 30 goals and 13 assists. That total was second highest in overall in Division II and his 20 goals and 11 assists in just league play was second best in the league behind Player of the Year Clayton Whittemore, a senior out of of New Hartford.

"Alex is an extremely dedicated athlete who works hard both on and off the ice. He has a great deal of natural talent in his hands and one of the hardest wrist shots in Central New York. He is continuing to work on his foot speed because with a faster few initial steps he will really be ready to dominate his high school opponents next year."

Hamilton players receiving honorable mentions were:

+ Brendon Rusch;

+ Brady Carroll;

+ Blaine Holcomb;

+ Jimmy Smith;

+ and Joe Santoro.

Also on the first team were Clayton Whittemore, Spencer Landry and Chris Luker from New Hartford; Rome Free Academy's T.J. Reilley; Clinton's Peter Hameline; and Cazenovia's Joe Nardella and Sean Cannizzaro.

Brink will be honored at the Sectional Final game at the Utica Auditorium along with other first team all stars.

Hamilton finished the year 9-9-2.
