Sat, Jan 08, 2011

The HCS hockey team suffered a tough 2-0 loss to defending state champions West Genesee Friday night at Shove Park in Camillus. West Genny, ranked third in the state this season, scored both of its goals on power plays

"It was probably the best overall effort of the year despite the loss, including Goalie Brady Carroll who turned aside 27 West Genny shots," said Coach Murray Decock.

Decock said West Genesee "came out gunning" and outshot Hamilton 12-4 in the first period, which ended at 0-0. He said Hamilton gained the advantage in the second with what he called "intense forechecking and relentless body checking" but still could not score. West Genny scored their first goal on a power play to end the second period.

The game remained a one goal affair until late in the third period. Decock said Hamilton was called on a questionable penalty with several minutes left and West Genny scored their second power play goal st stop Hamilton's comeback.

Hamilton returns to Division 1 league play  Tuesday night at Starr Rink against Solvay.
