7/3 Opening day in the Bay
of the summer league was a good one seeing new faces on different
teams as team captains made moves in the off season. Last
seasons Eastern Division champs came out strong in their
opener putting up ten while giving up none solidifying their team
with the pickup of playoff MVP goalie A. Manno getting the shut
out in his new threads. E DeMaio put up a hat-trick and added
an assist for his Beach Bar Boys as the Boys put
in a solid effort getting in the win column. The Aeros
and Plow Kings took a 2-2 tie late into the third with
Aeros P. Napoli breaking the tie with just 2:05 remaining
which held up to be the game winner. Marine Park gets an
OT winner off A. Morozov stick finishing off his hat-trick just
eleven seconds into the extra session opening the Parks season
with two points. Two more teams added to the BIG B Bergen Beach
confirmed a spot as so did a new team going by the name of
the Cincinnati Bowties. Both teams will be scheduled to
play two games next week. Standings, team stats and more will
be undated later in the day. Team Captains please get us your
updated rosters so we can set up team pages.
6/29 BIG B Week 1 Schedule posted. As of today there are
eight teams confirmed for the BIG B Division. The teams
are as follows, Aeros, Beach Bar Boys, Gerritsen
Beach, Gravesend, Marine Park, Reapers,
Plow Kings and the Shooting Blanks. As of now we
don't have enough sign-ups to make a house team but if we get
any more late additions we'll keep the individual's posted. The
A Division will be on hold due to most of the A Teams
taking the summer off and the current season of the A Division
not being completed yet. The two teams are having trouble agreeing
on a date to play and we'll get it worked out soon.
6/27 Wuuuuooooo! There will be a game three in the A Elite
Finals as the Bull Dogs hand Astoria their first playoff loss
in the Bay. A game three in the A Elite Finals is coming
at us because of a huge Bull Dog win a low scoring defensive
struggle. The two teams went at it last night with the Bull
Dogs facing elimination and Astoria looking to clinch
their third Kings Bay cup. Period one opened up with both
teams getting minimal scoring chances and both teams fighting
for real estate until the Kings Bay scoring champ R. Alibrandi
broke free on a breakaway put it home and got his Lightning
up a goal. Astoria would apply more pressure after
they got on the board but Bull Dogs goalie S. Gialopsos
would repeatedly shut the door keeping it a one goal game as period
one would end with the Lightning up 1-0. Period two would
open and it was the Bull Dogs who started getting scoring
chances but this time it was Astoria's goalie D. McAdams
having all the answers coming up big keeping his team up a goal
until Salvo took a cannon from point blank range to even the score
at one late in the second with just under three minutes to go.
Period two would end the same as it did in the pervious game with
both teams tied going into the third. Last game it was four four
this game was one one. The press for the lead went on in the third
as the next goal would prove to be a big one with the Bull
Dogs applying most of the pressure they finally broke through
for the go ahead goal off their teams leading scorer C. Stracuzzi's
stick with his wicked release to put the Bull Dogs up 2-1
with 5:25 remaining it felt like 25:25. Time ticked off slowly
and even slower in stopped clock zone the Bull Dogs tried
to hit the empty net but missed taking the icing keeping the puck
deep in their zone. But the Dog defense prevailed as they
were able to get the puck out of their end with great defensive
plays as forwards dove to block Astoria shots and hold
on to victory. The series will be pushed to the brink in a final
that's knotted at one game a piece with both games one and two
being decided by a goal we look forward to game three. Two Teams
One Cup One Champion and one more game will decide it all. As
the Battle for the Bay continues in game three stay tuned
for the date and time as it will be posted shortly. Check out
the updated Kings Bay playoff tree

6/24 A Elite Finals Game 2 schedule updated along with
pre-season BIG B division games added for this Thursday.
Playoff and team stats also updated.
6/20 The Kings win the Cup!! The Kings win Kings Bay BIG B
title number two as Astoria Lightning edge the Bull Dogs in Game
one of the A Elite. For those that don't know the Kings
goalie his name is A. Manno. We'll call him the difference maker.
As the Shooting Blanks through everything at Manno in the
first he would let up none as the story stayed the same in the
second until the Kings J. Manzione would break a scoreless
tie on a blast from the point that redirected off a stick in front
and sailed home for a 1-0 Kings lead. Period two would
end with the Kings taking two late penalties that put the
S. Blanks up 5 on 3 at the beginning of the third, the
Kings would be able to kill off the 5 on 3 advantage and
gain momentum. As the Blanks goalie D. Mrsich would come
up big stopping R. McGrath on a breakaway keeping the score a
one goal game you can't keep a Kings Bay scoring champ
down twice as he would tally with a wrister at the 11:31 mark
to put his Kings up by two. In a back in forth battle the
rest of the way the S. Blanks would finally break on through
the A. Manno wall with just 2:26 left on a pass back to the point
to M. Brady as his shot got through traffic and hit net to get
the S. Blanks within one. But with time running out the
Kings were able to keep the S. Blanks press for
the equalizer out of their end and kill off the clock. The Kings
become the first BIG B team to win BIG B title number
two. A hand clap to both teams who put in a great series with
both games being decided by a goal. The Kings raise Kings
Bay Cup victory number two in yet another great season down
in the Bay that kicked off back in early March. Period
one of the A Elite playoffs kicked off with something we
didn't see all season long. Astoria Lightning down two
goals after one period of play. The two goal lead would diminish
quickly as the second period set in with Astoria connecting
at 14:24 on Alibrandi's second of the night and K. Meilak knotting
the game at three just fifty seconds later in a fast paced high
speed game. Back and forth back and forth the Bull Dogs
would go on top at 1:12 but N. Dimoulas would tie it right back
up with just twelve ticks left in period two as it came to an
end and N. Dimoulas was just getting started. The one and two
seeds displayed a great session of hockey in game one in a 4-4
battle as N. Dimoulas would get the go ahead goal at 5:56 and
then put his team up by two with just 3:54 to finnish off his
hat-trick. The Bull Dogs would get back within one but
a little to late as Astoria Lightning edge the Bull
Dogs in game one and is one game away from Kings Bay Cup
number three. The action continues next week and the cup will
be on hand. Can the Bull Dogs force a game three or will
Astoria claim victory once again. It remains to be seen
as game two approaches we'll be back in the Bay next week, stay
tuned for the updated schedule. Check out the updated Kings
Bay playoff tree here.
6/18 Kings take game one of the BIG B Finals in a close one
while Astoria Lightning head back to the A Elite finals going
for the threepeat. This time around they'll face the Bull Dogs
who were victorious in their semifinal match. The Kings
would open up the scoring in game one of the BIG B Finals
on a W. Gilroy goal putting his team up 1-0 as that would be the
only goal scored in the first. Period two would open with the
Shooting Blanks showing their legs and connecting twice
on goals from C. Johnson and P. Mulroy as the S. Blanks
would head into period three with a 2-1 lead. As the Kings
fought back to get even they would get the equalizer on a R. Mcgrath
wrister with 9:40 remaining in the third. A 2-2 battle the rest
of the way showed both goalies making their presence felt. But
with time running out and an extra session near the S. Blanks
would make a crucial mistake with a to many men penalty at the
1:10 mark of the third. Kings control the puck pass back
to the point Manzione shoots save Mrsich rebound McGrath he scores
with just :12 left in regulation. Kings take game one of
the BIG B Finals and are one game away from locking
down the series and taking home their second Kings Bay Cup.
Game two is Thursday night in the Bay 9:00 PM. Astoria
Lightning head back to the A Elite Finals once again
behind A Elite scoring champs R. Alibrandi's three goal
night in a 4-1 win over Marine Park. Astoria makes
their third appearance in the finals in as many tries facing three
different opponents. This time around it will be the Bull Dogs
who came up big in their win. After putting themselves in a 2-0
hole after one the Bull Dogs would attack. Putting up the
next eight goals lead by a C. Stracuzzi hat-trick the Bull
Dogs storm into the A Elite Finals with an 8-4 win.
It'll be the number one seeded Lightning vs the number
two seeded Bull Dogs in a best of three series for the
A Elite Cup. Series kicks off this Thursday at 10:00 PM.
With team stats and playoff leader pages being updated later in
the the day you can check out the updated Kings Bay playoff
tree here.
6/14 Week 16 Schedules posted. 6/12 The Kings shock
Bergen Beach as the Shooting Blanks hold off Marine Park with
the two winners reaching the BIG B Finals. In the A Elite it's
the Brooklyn Bombers heading to the Semi's. The clock read
7:45 left in the third with the Kings trailing by two when
the puck dropped in the continuation game from last Tuesday nights
T-Storms. With the Kings pressing hard and moving defense
men R. McGrath to forward along with the Quad Father and W. Gilroy
the Kings got within one on a Gilroy goal with just 2:54
remaining in regulation. Still pressing for more in stopped clock
zone with under 2:00 to go a shot from the point would reach the
back of the net and the man who got mobbed by his teammate's was
R. Murray as the Kings bench roared with the game now tied
at four. Feeding off emotion the Kings would take the puck
right back in the zone off the face-off and the Quad Father "Mike
DiCicco" who made his 100 mile round trip from New Jersey
count dished off to the man who just tied the game R. Murray and
he bang it home once again for the go ahead goal in a stunning
5-4 come from behind win as the clock expired leaving the time
keepers in awe as they sipped on schlitz and ate pizza. The Kings
now head into the BIG B FINALS against the Shooting
Blanks who came out on fire in their match. The Shooting
Blanks in their first season in the Bay reach the Finals.
Showing speed and skill in the first the S. Blanks would
get on the board late in the first with just :31 left in the period
to go up 1-0 as period two would be theirs. Period two came and
the Blanks would keep the Park on their heals capitalizing
on turnovers they made them pay. Connecting three times in period
two team captain P. Mulroy hit the back of the net twice putting
his team up 4-0 as period two would come to an end. But the team
who made the finals the last four seasons would not give up finally
getting on the board with 9:46 left, getting within two with 5:25
and within one with 1:34. But the Shooting Blanks would
hold off the number one seed in their final push for the equalizer
and head to the Finals beginning next week. It'll be a veteran
Kings team verse a youthful Shooting Blanks, the old
school verse the new in what will set the stage for an interesting
match in a battle for the BIG B KINGS BAY CUP. Winter
Cup I Champs Brooklyn Bombers head to the A Elite
Semifinals putting up four while giving up none. Leading the
way M. Profeta put home two with S. Kovats and D. Milazzo getting
a goal each Brooklyn goalie R. Bavaro would nail down the
shutout in the win. The Brooklyn Bombers will now face
the Bull Dogs next week in the A Elite Semi's in
which will be a good one as the two teams needed overtime twice
in the regular season to decide the out come. You can check out
the updated Kings Bay playoff
tree here.
6/11 Marine Park (A) moves into the A Elite Semifinals
as Bergen Beach holds a two goal lead with 7:45 remaining
in the third when the T-Storms hit. The mans name is S. Kelly
and he scores goals. Kelly put up a hat-trick and added an assist
in the Parks 5-4 win over the Unit in a game that
was a good one. With the game dead locked at three going into
the third the Park would connect at 6:35 and add another
one a minute later on A. Morozov's breakaway putting home his
second of the night to get Marine Park a two goal lead.
The Unit would get back within one on a C. Knipe goal with
just under four minutes to go but that would be it as the Park
was able to hold off the Unit rush in the final minutes
of play. Marine Park will face either the Bull Dogs
or Astoria Lighting next week depending on what happens
in the game between the Brooklyn Bombers and the Warriors
as teams will be reseeded. In the BIG B West Finals Bergen
Beach would open up a two goal lead and the Kings would
connect with just :35 second left in the first to get back within
one and score the only goal of the second as we were tied at two
going into period three. Bergen Beach would strike twice
in the third at the 10:35 mark and at 7:45 to go up by two on
goals by N. Manferdini and D. Balsamo, but that would be it as
the T-Storm hit with lightning heavy winds and rain. We'll pick
up where we left off on Thursday night as so will the other games
between Marine Park (B) and Shooting Blanks in the
BIG B East Finals and the A Elite game between the
Warriors and the Brooklyn Bombers. Schedules updated

6/6 Bergen Beach and the Kings move onto the West Finals as
Astoria Lightning finnish their season strong and gear up
for the second season. The playoff match of the week lived up
to it's expectations as Bergen Beach and Gravesend
went head to head. Bergen Beach would open up a 3-1 lead
after one and the two teams would trade goals in the second for
a 4-2 Bergen Beach lead after two. Bergen Beach
would go up 5-2 two with an early F. Balsamo goal in the third
but here came Gravesend. Getting the next to goals off
scoring champ S. McAllisters stick to get within one it was a
5-4 game. At the 7:28 mark Bergen would go back up by two
but Gravesend would strike at 5:52 and get the score even
at 3:43 as we were deadlocked at six in a back and forth battle.
The Balsamo brothers would not let this one go as both brothers
finished off hat-tricks at the 1:30 and :38 marks to get Bergen
Beach the win and set up a meeting with the Kings
next week. The Kings and the Plow Kings traded two
goals each in the first but the Kings Bay Champs from a
couple seasons ago awoke in the second. Scoring the next five

and Reapers would trade goals in the first but then the
S. Blanks would explode in the second. Scoring the next
six goals powered by a P. Mulroy hat-trick the S. Blanks
went up 7-1. The Reapers would get the next two but that
would be it as the S. Blanks head into the East Finals
next week against Marine Park. Marine Park heads
to the East Finals with 4-2 win over the Beach Bar Boys.
Marine Park would open up a 3-1 lead after one but the
Beach Bar came back with one in the second as we headed
into the third 3-2 Park. But early in the third R. Femino
would finnish off his hat-trick for a 4-2 Park lead and
goalie C. Falco came up big the rest of the way through as they
had to kill off two Beach Bar power plays late in the game.

5/30 The Bay was Buzzin last night as two of the first round
playoff matches finished in wild overtime sessions. Beach Bar,
Gravesend, Shooting Blanks and Plow Kings all
came up victorious and move into the Divisional semifinals next
week. Beach Bar Boys would trail 4-1 going into
period three but this one was far from over as things got crazy
in the third. Beach Bar would get the first two goals of
the third to get within one but Gerritsen would go back
up by two with just 3:37 left. At the 3:11 mark Beach Bar
would get back within one and at the 2:00 mark Gerritsen
would go back up by two. Right off the face off eight seconds
at the 1:52 mark Beach Bar would get back within one and
then tie the game with just 1:10 remaining and send this one into
OT. As Gerritsen took a delay of game penalty going into
the OT session it only took E. DeMaio fifty-nine seconds to get
Beach Bar the win in a unbelievable come from behind effort.
E. DeMaio scored the last three goals for the Beach Bar
as J. Jensen also had a trick in this one while S. Kelly of Gerritsen
scored all six of his teams goals in the 7-6 OT loss. With that
win the Beach Bar move themselves into the Divisional semifinals
against Marine Park who were idle this week with a first
round bye. The Aeros and Plow Kings took a 1-1 battle
into the third with Plow Kings M. Marring breaking the
tie at the 8:13 mark taking us down to the final minute of play.
Trailing by a goal the Aeros pulled their goalie to apply
more pressure and R. Gorelick would connect on his second of the
night off a B. Main pass with just :29 left to send this one into
Overtime. We got three minutes deep into the overtime session
as the Plow Kings B. Barbuto banged a loose puck home for
the winner and was mobbed by his teammates. Plow Kings
now set up a divisional semifinal match against the number one
seeded Kings. In the other two playoff matches
Gravesend and Shooting Blanks both make statements
putting up ten goals each. Gravesend did it by getting
goals from nine different scorers while the Shooting Blanks
got hat-tricks from M. Spiteri and J. Ciazza. Gravesend

some interesting match-ups set up as we inch closer to the
Kings Bay Cup. Playoff stats will be updated later in the
day along with next weeks schedules. You can check out the Playoff
tree here.
5/29 The Bull Dogs pick up four points on a double
header last night and move into second place in the A Elite.
In their first game they took a 1-1 battle into the third
with B. Kasimis of the Bull Dogs breaking the tie
just a minute into play as they would add another with under minute
left to take a 3-1 win in a tight match all the way through. Building
off the momentum from that win the Bull Dogs came out flying
in their second match putting up four in the first two more in
the second and another in the third for a seven one win. Bull
Dogs goalie S. Gialopsos was on point all night only giving
up two goals in two games. With those two Bull Dog wins
Astoria Lightning clinch their third straight division
title as now no one can now catch them. The number two seed and
three seed spots are the only two spots not decided in the A
Elite. The Bull Dogs can lock the second seed with
a win, overtime loss or a Brooklyn Bombers loss. The Bombers
would get the second seed if the Bull Dogs lose and
they would have to either win both of their last two games or
get one win and at least lose a game in overtime getting one point.
Bull Dogs own the tie breaker so they would have to finnish with
more points them them. One of games left for the Bombers is the
makeup game that they are down 2-1 in the third against Astoria.
Everything will be decided next week as playoff positioning will
be locked. BIG B division playoffs get underway tonight
in the Bay as we look forward to some good first round match-ups.
See you tonight as playoff hockey begins.

tonight as playoff hockey begins.
5/27 The Unit opened the game with a hat-trick
from N. Carpanini with teammate N. Dimasi following with a trick
of his own as the Unit put up eight. Team Captain N. Divittorio
also banged home a goal as his Unit finnish off their season
on a winning note and look ready for playoff hockey coming in
a couple of weeks. Astoria and Brooklyn played to
a 2-1 game through two periods but then the rain came and we'll
have to pick up where we left off next week. As for the 9:00 and
10:00 games they'll be made up tomorrow night (Wed May 28th)
same times.
5/23 The Kings win the West while
Marine Park, Aeros and Shooting Blanks win as
Gravesends S. McAlister holds onto the BIG B Scoring
title. Kings win the West in a thriller. With the
Kings trailing 4-3 late into the third J. Manzione of the
Kings would tally to get things even with only 3:10 remaining.
In a game that we thought would see overtime M. Diccico would get
the go ahead goal on his second of the night with just forty one
seconds remaining that was enough for the win and get the Kings
the West. The Shooting Blanks put up six and lock
down a third place seed as the team can put up the points. Getting
two goals each from P. Mulroy, C. Johnson and M. Spiteri in this
one, the S. Blanks were the second most highest scoring team
this season with 75 goals scored. They now set up a first round
playoff match up with Team House. The Aeros also put up six
with R. Gorelick, M. Lata and B. Main putting up two each locking
down the five seed and setting up a first round playoff match with
the Plow Kings. Marine Park trailed 4-2 late into
the third but B. Munday would connect on a short handed breakaway
to get his team within one with just 4:03 remaining as his brother
T.J. would steal the show in the final minute of play. T.J. would
get the equalizer with just 43 ticks left and tally for the game
winner twenty two seconds later. Marine Park would add two
more empty net goals scoring four goals in only thirty-eight seconds
and grab the win. M. Goucher was good for one point in the loss
as he fell short of the S. Mcalisters 43 point season finishing
with 42. Great scoring race this season with both players finishing
with over 40 points. The BIG B is headed for it's second
season, playoff hockey will be back in the Bay next week. Playoff
schedule will be posted later in the day along with all team stats
and league leader pages as well as A Elite schedule and
BIG B playoff preview coming soon.
5/21 A short rain delay two overtime sessions
and Kings Bay has it's second 40 point man and a new BIG
B point leader. The House came close but no cigar as
S. Kelly powers Gerritsen Beach with his five point night
getting the trick and adding two assists but it was C. Hardy of
Gerritsen getting the OT session game winner to take Gerritsen
Beach on a winning note into the playoffs. In game two it was
all about the hands of R. Alibrandi. After Astoria trailed
4-2 after two Alibrandi would get his Lightning back within
one on his third of the night and S. Martin would get the equalizer
to send this one into OT. The OT session was just seventeen seconds
from a shoot-out when Alibrandi showed off his hand skills and roofed
one for the game winner leaving the crowd in awe. Alibrandi's four
goal night gets his league lead to 32 points on the season and is
now four points shy of the A Elite record of 36 points in
a season held by L. Montello. As we thought the BIG B scoring
race was over S. McAlister said hold on with a ridiculous eight
point night. Going into this game he had 35 points add the eight
and that puts him at 43 which tops Goucher's 41. But Goucher has
one game left to play as this seasons scoring race goes right down
to the last game of play as we thought it was already won. Good
luck to both players after putting up record numbers this season.
In the finale of the night the Bull Dogs S. Kasimis put home
a trick and R. Abdelhamid set up four goals to help get their team
get the win as goalie S. Gialopsos was on his game all night. In
other league news Gerritsen Beach forward P. Parker gets
a one game suspension for fighting as fighting penalties will be
strictly enforced as he will serve his suspension during his teams
first playoff game. Week 12 continues tonight as team stats
and league leader pages will be updated later in the day.
5/20 Rain all day no play in the Bay. We'll
try to do it again tomorrow night but with the forecast looking
bad we'll play it by ear, stay tuned. One game change Marine Park
(A) will be playing against Astoria instead of the Bombers.
5/16 Week 12 Schedules posted along with
all stats, standings and league leader pages updated.
5/16 Kings Bay has it's first 40 point man
as Kings and Bergen Beach win to set up a battle next
week for the number one seed in the BIG B West. Bergen
Beach forwards D. Balsamo and A. Parmegiani would combine for
a seven goal night with Danny putting home four and A. Parm connecting
for the trick. With that win Bergen Beach heads into position
week at 9-2 as so do the Kings. The Kings win behind
a pair of goals each from C. Pomarico, W. Gilroy and M. DiCicco.
Kings 9-2, Bergen Beach 9-2, there's only room for one
top seed, it will get settled in the Bay next week. Plow Kings
took a 2-1 lead deep into the third and back up goalie B. Fox would
make sure they would hold onto the win. Stopping a breakaway and
in close shot from point blank range in the final minutes those
two saves made the difference in the game. The 40 point man!
Two seasons ago M. Goucher held the BIG B record with
34 points in a season. A season later J. Jensen came along and broke
that record with a 36 point season. After that season M. Goucher
promised to come back with a vengeance as he held true to his promise.
Going into tonight's game tied for the record Goucher wasted no
time to set a new high with a five point night bringing his total
to a whopping 41 points in only eleven games played. The man still
has a game to play. Getting point number 40 late into the third,
point number 41 will be a memorable one. It broke a 6-6 tie in the
over time session, shattered a record and gets his team a win. M.
Goucher Kings Bays men's first 40 point man.
5/15 Marine Park (B) clinches the BIG
B East while putting up seven. The Munday brothers both had
a pair of goals each in the win while MP goalie C. Falco
only let by one. KC Krober lead the way for Marine Park (A)
on a two goal night to help his team grab the 4-2 win. S. Kelly
and A. Morozov were the other goal scorers for the Park while
goalie J. Chici was solid through out. Astoria and Bull
Dogs took a 3-2 battle into the third but Astoria would
pull away in the third with four goals. Third period goal scorers
were J. Merendino, R. Alibrandi with J. Barker putting home two.
Astoria's R. Alibrandi had a three point night with a goal
and two assists adding to his league leading total now at twenty
eight. Team stats and league leader pages will be updated by friday
along with Week 12 schedule update.
5/14 Great night in the Bay with good weather
good hockey and three of four games being decided by a goal. The
Aeros and Team House took a 2-2 tie deep into the third
with Aeros R. Gorelick who scored four goals in his last
outing in a loss made sure his next goal would come in a win. R.
Gorelick broke the 2-2 dead lock with just :12 left in the game.
Gorelick also had an assist in the game off a Jo Jo Bosco goal.
The Bombers took a 1-0 lead into the final period added another
early in the third with the Unit breaking on through at the
five minute mark. Bombers would hold off the Unit in
the final minutes to grab the win. Both teams goalies were the story
in this one with R. Dimasi of the Unit and R. Bavaro of the
Bombers coming up big through out the game keeping this one
low a scoring affair. Marine Park got their one goal win
on a patient B. Munday pass hitting R. Femiano with just :39 seconds
left on a two on one odd man rush taking a much needed 3-2 win.
With that win Marine Park just needs one point in their final
two games to clinch the BIG B East. The Shooting Blanks
came out the gate with a slow start putting themselves in a
3-1 hole but mounted a comeback with four goals in the second and
two more in the third for a 6-4 win. Team Captain P. Mulroy had
a two goal night putting home the game winner breaking the 4-4 tie
at the 5:40 mark of the third with P. Pas adding the insurance goal
with under a minute to play. S. Kelly of Gerritsen Beach had
a hat-trick in the loss. Week 11 continues tonight in the
Bay with team stats and league leader pages being updated soon.
5/10 Week 11 schedules posted. Stats
and standings pages all updated.
5/9 The Beach Bars E. DeMaio and J.
Jensen would combine for seven goals with DeMaio connecting on four
and Jensen hitting three the team adds another victory in the W
column. Back up goalie P. Lind made his debut in goal for the
Bar making some big saves through out to grab the win. Bergen
Beach's N. Manferdini did his job again score goals. Scoring
five goals and dishing off one for a six point night he helped his
team get the win and put them in a tie for first with the Kings.
In a battle for the top BIG B West seed Gravesend
and the Kings went at it. Gravesend would open
up with two goals in the first to go up two zip but the Kings
would get the next three taking a 3-2 lead into the third.
With time running out Gravesend star S. McAllister would
connect on his second of the night with just 2:10 left in the third
to get the game tied at three. Off an icing the Kings
would get a face-off deep in Gravesend zone and W. Gilroy
would win the draw back to R. McGrath as he connected with just
1:09 left and nailed down a win for the Kings. The Kings
now sit a top the West in a tie with Bergen Beach
with the Kings having a game in hand and control their own
destiny for the division title. In our only A Elite game
the Warriors came out on fire. Tallying for two in the first
and adding three more each in the final two periods they put up
eight. W. Gilroy and 42 of the Warriors scored two each while
goalie G. Prete made a bunch of big saves in the win.
5/8 M. Goucher retakes the scoring race lead
and ties the BIG B record with a six point night bringing
his total to 36 points with two games left to play. His Reapers
trailed 5-4 going into the third but then Goucher would explode.
Scoring his teams next three goals for the trick and adding his
third assist on an empty net goal to secure the win. In game two
both teams shared something in common. Both teams reside in Gerritsen
Beach and both teams top goal scorers don the number 93 as both
93's shined in this one. In the Battle for the Beach between
Gerritsen Beach and the Beach Bar Boys the two teams
swapped goals in the first, two each in the second and two each
in the third. As Regulation and OT weren't enough in this one we
needed to go to a shoot-out to decide it. As Beach Bar goalie
P. Lenz kept his team in it in regulation coming up big, he did
the same in the shoot-out allowing none. The Beach Bar would
put up two edging Gerritsen 6-5 in a great game. Marine
Park (A) and the Unit took a 2-2 tie into the third but
the M. McGregor and N. Dimasi show was a little two much
on this night. Dimasi dished off three goals to McGregor while McGregor
would add another for a four goal night and get his team the win.
The Plow Kings M. Marring and N. Congesta both put up hat-tricks
each combing for six of the teams seven goals getting the P.
Kings a 7-4 victory. Back up goalie team captain B. Fox got
his first win in the goal with his sharp glove in only his second
start. Team stats and league leader pages will be updated later
in the day as we try to finnish off Week 10 tonight with
the weather forecast not looking good, we'll play it by ear and
eye as we usually do.
5/7 Gerritsen Beach and the Grizzlies
took a 1-1 deadlock deep into the third but with time running
out Gerritsen Beach star S. Kelly would connect to give his
team a 2-1 lead that was enough for the game winner. The BK Bombers
built a 4-1 lead over Marine Park but the Park would
creep back in with two late goals as it was a little to late the
Bombers held on for a 4-3 win. Seven total goals were scored
in the game with each goal being scored by a different skater.
Astoria Lightning's R. Alibrandi had a four goal night as his
team put up nine improving their record to 7-1 and hold a three
point lead in first place in the A Elite. R. Alibrandi leads
the A Elite in scoring with 25 points with his 21 goals and
four assists. He is one goal shy of the record for most goals in
a season of 22 held by L. Montello, Alibrandi still has four more
games to play. Gravesend dug a 3-1 hole for themselves but
got their legs going in the second putting up four in period two
and another three in the third as they took an 8-6 win. Gravesend
S. McAllister had a huge night scoring five goals and adding
an assist for a six point night putting him on top of the BIG
B scoring race with 31 points. Plow Kings M. Marring
was good for a hat-trick in the loss. Week 10 continues tonight

5/1 Grizzlies win putting up twelve getting
hat-tricks from Gale and J. Weston while team captain W. Thompson
also connected for one. Gravesend win a key divisional match
behind a D. Honovic hat-trick and a S. McAllister two goal night.
Gravesend was up 5-4 late in the third when D. Honovic found
the empty net to finnish off his hat-trick and seal the deal for
the win. Bergen Beach forward F. Balsamo had a hat-trick
in the loss. Kings and Reapers took a 2-2 tie into
the third with the Kings taking a lead early in the third
and the Reapers tying it back up with just 3:20 to go. But
with just 1:10 remaining the Kings M. DiCicco connected off
a beautiful pass from R. McGrath to take the win. M. DiCicco
and C. Pomarico had two goals each in the win while Reapers M.

points. Goucher has three games left to play and is six points shy

stop the Bull Dogs in a tight match going into the third
but the Bull Dogs would connect for three in the third for
the win. In the Bull Dogs second of their double header they
ran into Astoria coming off their first loss at Kings
Bay. We had a 2-2 tie going into the third but K. Meilak would
break the tie midway through the third with a wicked slap shot and
R. Alibrandi would add an insurance goal for a 4-2 win. That's the
first loss the Bull Dogs took in regulation this season.

later in the day. For now you can check out team stats and league
leaders pages which have been updated.
4/24 The Bull Dogs put in a double
header last night with another one scheduled tonight due to the
fact they entered the league late and were swamped with a couple
of rain outs. There was a need for them to catch up with the other
teams in games played. In their first game the Bull Dogs dug
a 5-2 hole for themselves but were able to dig themselves out of
it getting four unanswered goals with Stracuzzi getting the game
winner in OT. In their second match up they had another tight match
against the Warriors. The Warriors were able to tie
the game with just under a minute left in regulation but D. Kull
of the Bull Dogs came down 15 seconds later and put one home
for his team as they regained the lead and grabbed their second
win of the night. Marine Park (A) clicked well last night
with S. Kelly and KC Krober both connecting for a hat-trick while
J. Jensen hooked up four goals in the win. The Kings and
Team House took a 3-3 tie into the third but the Kings

fighting and instigating a fight with L. Montello of the BK Bombers
getting a one game suspension for instigating and throwing a punch.

League Leading scorer M. Goucher's six point night. Goucher now
leads the league with 28 points in eight games played. He trails
the league record for most points in a season by only eight with

a playoff like low scoring 2-1 battle. B. Munday connected on the
Parks second goal of the game that held up to be the game
winner. Shooting Blanks put up some numbers with M. Spiteri
netting a hat-trick while his team showed depth getting goals from
seven different skaters. The Grizzlies and Gravesend

4/16 It's Over! The streak is Over! After
putting up thirty-one straight victories the East River Rats
/ Astoria Lightning win streak finally comes to an end
by hands of The Unit. The Unit's M. McGregor would
open the scoring in the first to get his team going but by periods
end it was Astoria taking a 2-1 lead into the second. Seven
minutes into the second The Unit's N. Dimasi would score
a beautiful short handed goal on a partial breakaway with two guys
all over him to even the game at two. With time still remaining
on Astoria's power play R. Alibrandi would waste no time
to get his Lightning a one goal lead back only twenty seconds
later. When we reached the six minute mark of the second The
Unit's N. Dimasi would get loose again bury it and tie the
game at three. From there on in we saw a battle all the way through
with both teams getting chances tight defense and good goaltending.
But everything changed at the 4:10 mark of the third when The
Units N. Dimasi would hit M. McGregor for a breakaway and he
put it away on a beautiful move to give The Unit a 4-3 lead.
With 4:10 left it felt like four hours as the clock ticked away
slowly The Unit tightened up on dee and kept the front of
their net clear as goalie R. Dimasi was their to keep everything
out. With less than two minutes to go we saw Astoria's goalie
leave the net for the first time ever for a extra attacker but the
Unit would finish the game like a Unit and kill off the
remainder of the period for the win and swarmed each other in victory.
Hats off to the Unit for stopping the streak and Hats off
to Astoria for putting up a streak that will probably never
be touched. The closest winning streak behind the 31 wins is a 12
game winning streak held by the Marine Park (B) squad a couple
of season's back. Later on in the week the streak will be revisited
from game one through thirty one. Once again congratulations to
both teams for putting in a great game. In other games the Kings

shot and got the shutout in the Kings 5-0 win. Bergen
Beach wins their sixth straight behind another big night from
D. Balsamo netting three while league leader N. Manferdini added
two more points to his league leading total. And in our finale the

R. Matera putting home his second on the night with just seven seconds
left for a 3-2 win. Teams stats standings and scores will be updated
later in the day, see you Thursday night as week seven continues.

4/10 A light mist no mist and a heavy mist
and were we able to play two. The two Beach teams set off
the night one from Bergen the other from Gerritsen.
But it was all D. Balsamo and N. Manferdini in this one, both Bergen
Beach forwards combined for eleven total points. N. Merferdin
with four goals and two assists while D. Balsamo had four goals
and an assist to get their club the win. N. Congesta powered his
Plow Kings to victory with a big night. The Plow Kings
defense men had a five point night with two goals and three
assists, he went end to end on one of his goals leaving the crowd
in awe. M. Depolo of the P. Kings also connected for two
goals in this one. As we looked forward to the next two A Division
match-ups between the Bull Dogs and Astoria and
Bull Dogs and Warriors the mist got a little to heavy
as we were unable to move on. As we do move on week six continues
tonight in the Bay.
4/9 Both Marine Park A and B
teams win, Astoria rolls and the Kings pick up two
points as well. Marine Park (B) scored four goals from four
different skaters in their win staying perfect on the season at
3-0 and lead the pack with six points in the BIG B East.
Marine Park (A) edged the Unit in a tight match that
was tied 1-1 midway thorough the third when Park forward
S. Kelly would chip one home off a defense men and later on A. Morozov
would put the game out of reach with an empty net goal for a 3-1
win. Both goalies J. Chici and R. Dimasi were on their game in this
one keeping this match a low scoring affair. Astoria hits
31 on big nights from forward R. Alibrandi putting home four goals
on the night with two of them being short handed, his back hand
is lethal goalies beware. The Kings and the S. Blanks
were deadlocked at three late into the second, but the Kings
would connect for four unanswered goals and take the win. Main stay
in the headlines W. Gilroy had a five point night in this one getting
the hat-trick and adding two assists.
4/7 Brooklyn Bombers win and improve their
record to 3-1 behind forward Pesce 6 point night netting the hat-trick
and adding three assists. Bombers goalie R. Bavaro was a
wall in the match shutting down shooters all night. The Grizzlies
wipe out a two goal deficit with two late goals in the third only
a minute and fifteen seconds apart scoring at 3:25 and 2:10 to force
over time. We were mid way through the over time session when Grizzlies
forward D. Chrichigno put home his second on the night and gave
his team a victory, the Grizzlies win! KB House put
in a solid effort through out the game, not bad for a team that
was put together a week ago. Another strong team coming out of the
BIG B West is Gravesend. With forwards S. McAllister
and J. Bova being consistent on the scoring sheet week after week
and with goalie R. Molina getting the job done between the pipes
the team looks ready to go. S. McAllister and Bova had two goals
each in this one while goalie R. Molina posted his second shutout
of the season. Gravesend S. McAllister also leads the league
in scoring with 15 points.
4/4 The Plow Kings and the Beach
Bar Boys set off the evening under heavy clouds in a back and
forth match that needed an extra period to be settled. While Beach
Bar opened the game with two, Plow Kings came back with
two, two more for Beach Bar followed by two more by Plow
Kings. The teams would trade one more goal each and we were
tied at five as time expired. As the Plow Kings applied pressure
in the OT session they hit post and cross bar as last season's scoring
champ J. Jensen got to a loose puck and ended the game with a quick
wrister for a Beach Bar win. Plow Kings B. Fox made
his debut in goal last night and showed off his quick glove and
made big saves in the third to keep the score tied. In game two
the score sheet reads 16 from 7, 16 from 7 and 16 from 7 on the
Reapers first three goals. That would be G. Nichoals from
M. Goucher. Goucher would add two more goals on the night the last
one an empty netter that would add up to a 5-2 Reapers win.
Bergen Beach looks like a strong contender in the BIG
B while the team is deep and has many weapons combined with
strong goaltending that adds up to a recipe for victory. In last
night's game N. Manferdini was good for a hat-trick while F. Balsamos
shot's hit mesh twice. Our finale of the night was interrupted by
rain as these April showers continue to hit us hard. We will schedule
four night's again next week just in case rain will be a factor.
4/3 Fresh off their Winter Cup victory
the Brooklyn Bombers needed to take last nights game into
a shoot-out for the win. Bombers goalie R. Bavaro stopped
all three shooters he faced in the shoot-out in the win. Bull
Dogs impressed in their debut getting two goals each from Stracuzzi
and R. Abdelhamid with two late one's in the third to send the game
into OT. The Aeros get in the win column behind a R. Gorlick

3/25 Astoria Lightning reach a milestone
as Bergen Beach, The Unit and Kings Win.
Astoria Lightning hit milestone victory number 30 in
as many tries in an all out team assault. Putting up nine goals
the team looks even more hungry and determined than before. In this
game Astoria had goals from six different skaters with N.
Dimoulas and J. Brennan getting two each. In our strongest A
Elite division yet will any team be able to slow Astoria
down? It remains to been seen as the streak is still alive. Bergen
Beach wins on big nights from forwards R. Pollard and D. Balsamo.
R. Pollard got net four times while D. Balsamo tallied twice and
added four assists. The revamped Unit look ready to go as
they got scoring from five different skaters in a 5-2 win while

3/22 Brooklyn Does it! The Brooklyn Bombers
win the Kings Bay Winter Cup I Tournament. After losing
their first game way back when the tournament started Brooklyn
hasn't lost since. Playing with their backs against the wall in
the two game elimination tourney they needed to win twice today
since the Warriors were undefeated up to this point. In game
one the Bombers took a 2-1 lead into the third in a tight
match but tallied twice more in the final period for a 4-1 win.
Bombers got scoring from four different skaters in this one,
scorers were M. Profeta, L. Montello, J. Noto and D. Roman. With
that win it took the tournament to the brink with both teams now
having a loss. Game two of the finals was almost an identical match
to the first game with the score dead locked at one after one and
the Bombers taking a two one lead into the third. As the
ten minute mark of the final period approached J. Noto would give
his Bombers a two goal lead off a L. Montello pass. With
the Warriors down two they started taking chances that lead
to a few Bombers odd man rushes and a breakaway but Warriors
goalie G. Petre was their to keep his team in the game. With
time winding down G. Petre was pulled and the Bombers D.
Atwood would seal the deal with an empty netter as the Brooklyn
Bombers take the first annual Winter Cup tournament.

3/20 The game of the season so far was played
last night in the Bay. The game was between Gravesend
and Gerritsen Beach that ended in a bizarre shoot-out.
After Gravesend would build a 4-0 lead early in the second,
Gerritsen Beach would start to click scoring three
quick goals to trail only by a goal going into the third. The score
would stay that way to the final minute of play till a puck got
deflected in front that found it's way to the back of the net for
a 4-4 tie with just :31 ticks left in regulation. As the OT session
went scoreless we headed to the shoot out. In front of a packed
house of all Gerritsen Beach fans the shoot out went through
both teams twice and saw nine goals scored combined. But with the
shoot-out dead locked at four Gerritsen Beach captain M.
Daskalakis didn't let his team or fans down as he put it home and
got mobbed by his teammates in the winner. In other games B. Munday
put away a hat-trick to get Marine Park their second win
in as many tries. The Kings do the same behind two goals

Marine Park's (B) R. Femiano was back with a vengeance. Putting
home five goals he helps Marine Park set off their season
in the win column. The Kings get a win in their opener putting
up four goals from four different skaters. Gilroy, DiCicco, Byrne
and Longhitano were the goal scorers in their 4-2 win. Team stats
and rosters will be updated later in the day. Week two continues
this Thursday night in the Bay.
3/9 The Never ending Tournament. With the
bad weather continuing to plague us on Saturdays, the tournament
finals will be put on hold till March 22nd. Never the less we'll
get it wrapped up asap. In league news the BIG B division
conferences were reshuffled again to make it as evenly matched
on both sides as possible. The A Division format will change
to a twelve game season with playoffs being a one game elimination
until we get to the finals which will be a best of three series.
We made this change due to the odd number of teams in the division
and need for one inter-league game per week. Each BIG B team
will have to play one inter-league game with the exception of the
Reapers who will have to play two since they are the defending
champs. Good luck to all the teams as we look forward to kicking
off a great season with you.
3/7 Week 2 Schedules Posted.
3/7 Opening night in the Bay and we got our
first look at Gerritsen Beach. Their debut would make for
twelve goals scored as S. Kelly of Gerritsen had a
six point night putting home four and adding two assists. The Plow
Kings and Grizzlies went at it in our second match in
a game that would see a wild finnish. With the Grizzlies
up 3-2 late in the third the Plow Kings would tie the game
with just :57 seconds left in the period only to see the Grizzlies
regain the lead thirty ticks later. The Plow Kings didn't
pack it in as they would bang another one home with just :13 left
to send the game into OT. That's all that J. Marring of the P.
Kings would need as he took a beautiful pass from 22 that put
him on a breakaway as he buried it to end the game. The Reapers
and the Beach Bar Boys took a 3-3 tie into the third
but it was the defending champ Reapers who scored two more
times in the third for a 4-2 win. M. Goucher of the Reapers had
a four point night all assists. The Shooting Blanks also
made their debut tonight in the Bay as they didn't come up empty.
Taking a 4-1 lead in the third Gravesend would score three
quick goals early to tie but the Shooting Blanks would get
the next two for a 6-4 win. Shooting Blanks Team Captain
P. Mulroy had two goals and an assist in the game while Gravesend's
14 was good for a hat-trick. Team stats and Week 2 schedules
will be posted later in the day.
3/4 With rain earlier in the day and forecast
predicting rain the rest of the night we decided to cancel the games.
Week one will move on this Thursday night.
3/2 The Warriors and the Brooklyn
Bombers move into the Winter Cup Finals! Round 3 and
Round 4 of the Winter Cup finals were completed yesterday
as Marine Park and the Beach Bar Boys set it off in
a wild one. The two teams took a 4-4 tie into the third but it would
be the Beach Bar Boys who would out score Marine Park
3-2 in the third for a 7-6 win. The two undefeated teams Warriors
and Primo went at it in our second match up and Warriors
goalie G. Prete would make the difference as he posted the shutout
in a 3-0 win and has yet to give up a goal in the tournament with
a 2-0 record and zero goals against. Warriors stay perfect
and move into the finals as the Beach Bar Boys take a forfeit
loss due to not having enough skaters to play. Brooklyn Bombers
cruised into the finals yesterday with two big wins over Primo
and the Reapers. In their first match up Bombers J.
Noto had two goals and an assist while D. Roman also tallied twice
in the win. In the semi-final match against Primo M. Profeta
put one away in the first and second as J. Noto struck again following
him up with two of his owe. Bklyn Bombers goalie R. Bavaro
was strong in both games just giving up a goal in each game. It's
the Warriors and the Brooklyn Bombers for the Kings
Bay Winter Cup. The two teams met back in Round one as the Warriors
edged the Bombers 2-0 in a game goalie G. Prete came up big
throughout. The Brooklyn Bombers would have to beat the Warriors
twice next Saturday to win the cup since the Warriors haven't
lost a game yet. The Warriors need one win to take the tournament.
Tournament action continues next Saturday, game times posted below.
