Ice Knights Outshoot Proctor for League Win

Wed, Dec 15, 2010

HCS' Alex Foster scored six times to lead Hamilton past Utica Proctor 8-6 tonight in a game played at the Utica Auditorium.

It was Hamilton's first league win of the year and first ever division one victory. Hamilton is now 2-1 on the young season.

Charlie Decock and Branden Thomas each scored a goal to round out the scoring for Hamilton. Having assists for Hamilton were Kinnon Nolan-Finkel with three, Ryan McDowell with three and Kam Mikula, Sam Hale and Decock had one each.

HCS goalie Brady Carroll made 20 saves.

"We played very poorly defensively and made constant turnovers in all three zones," said HCS Coach Murray Decock. "I think it a was a case of players trying to pad their statistics against a weaker team and we took chances we never would have taken against a stronger opponent. As a result, we paid a price on the scoreboard and never got a big enough cushion to feel comfortable.

"We have a great deal of work to do on our systems, many of which look tattered and broken due to cancelled practices on snow days. Hopefully we can get back on track this week and put together a couple of good workouts in advance of our D1 league tilt against Cicero North Syracuse this Friday at Starr Rink."

Game time is 7 pm
