Hoover Vikings

HOOVER GOES 3 and 1 IN CHRISTMAS TOURNAMENT WINNING OVER ELYRIA CATHOLIC 7-3

VIKINGS END TOURNAMENT WITH 7-3 VICTORY OVER ELYRIA CATHOLIC

The Vikings closed out the CVCA Christmas Tournament with a commanding 7-3 win over Elyria Catholic last night.  Korey Davis was tough in the net against a talented and physical Elyria Catholic squad, stopping some very hard and very well placed shots on his net. 

Brad Harcourt earned a hattrick, burying the puck for the first two goals of the game and scoring again early in the second period.  Sam Hankins, assisted by Spencer Mackert, continued the scoring, with subsequent goals by Zach Lawson from Harcourt and John Derosiers, Alex Zielke from Ben Bishop, and Dylan Oney from Brad Harcourt and Zach Lawson.  The three wins were particularly impressive, given the victories were against teams in the White Division of the Greater Cleveland Hockey League.

The Vikings enjoy some time off for the New Year, and are back on the ice on January 5th.  Happy New Year and GO VIKES!!

The Vikings dominated Friday's game against the Avon Purple Eagles, winning in a 10-2 shut-down Friday night.  The Vikings never allowed Avon in the game, taking an early lead with the first goal, scored by Bradley Harcourt, on assists from Dylan Oney and John Derosiers less than one minute into the first period. 

Avon scored 4 minutes later but it was all Vikings with four more goals scored by Zach Lawson on an assist by Derosiers, Sam Hankins on assists from Kyle Policchio and Alex Zielke, and Dylan Oney on an assist from Harcourt.  Halfway through the second period, Harcourt scored unassisted, followed quickly by a goal from Avon, but the rest of the game belonged to the Vikings, with goals scored by Harcourt on assists from Oney and Spencer Mackert, Oney on an assist from Harcourt, Derosiers unassisted and a final two goals by Harcourt - one unassisted and one assisted by Lawson.

The Vikings play in the Christmas Tournament this week at Kent State University with four games in two days beginning  Wednesday at 12:00 noon.  Come to KSU and support our Vikings.  GO VIKES!!!!

The Hoover Vikings took 40 shots on the CVCA net today but were only able to put one away - a goal by Sam Hankins assisted by Spencer Mackert and Mike Magana. 

In a chippy contest, the Vikings racked up penalty minutes and had a hard time getting the puck into the crease, with CVCA called for almost 20 minutes in the box.  The CVCA Christmas tournament continues tonight at 8:45 pm at KSU Arena with the Vikings facing the Kent Roosevelt Roughriders.  GO VIKES!

The Vikings came back with a vengence tonight with a 5-2 win over a tough Rough Riders team.  Kent scored first, but  5 unanswered goals followed, with some new faces on the scoreboard including Freshman Nathan Murphy.

Mike Magana started the scoring with a goal halfway into the first period on assists from Samuel Hankins and Kyle Policchio.  Dylan Oney scored next on assists from Zach Lawson and Brad Harcourt.  Nathan Murphy's first high school goal came at 10:22 in the second period on an assist from Magana.  Two minutes later, Spencer Mackert scored unassisted on a slapshot from the blueline. 

The third period saw one goal from Harcourt, assisted by Mackert and Lawson.  The Rough Riders pulled the goalie with two minutes to go, trying a 6 on 4 during a Hoover penalty but were unable to bury the puck after a stellar performance from goalie Korey Davis who stopped 23 Kent shots. 

Tomorrow the Vikings face off against Normandy at 11:00 am and at 8:30 against Elyria Catholic.  Come out and support our Hoover Vikings.  GO VIKES!!
